I hope Marrow is the more deformed Morlocks version and not the "prettyfied" one.
I'm thinking you should prepare to be disappointed
I *really* hope it's X-Men Marrow and not Morlocks Marrow. And I have hope because Morlocks Marrow would require way more sculpted pieces/a new sculpt.
The Abomination BAF wave with Wanda had only one MCU figure in it. FTR.
As much as I don't really care about the Inhumans, the Bucky Black Bolt is just so... disappointing. That character should be regal and that figure is not. He and Medusa deserve to look as good as Power Princess and Hyperion.
Honestly if they're going to do Black Bolt - AGAIN - I'm all for it, but! How about we get some sculpted costume details this time? That would really make for an excellent figure for the king of the Inhumans. I'll be happy to have him on a more appropriate body, too.
I'm with you on Marrow too - X-Men version all the way. They could have fun with some alternate heads with different bone/horn configurations if they wanted to.
Champion is long overdue, and will finally complete my Marvel Two-In-One Annual 7 lineup. Although Doc Samson is in dire need of an upgrade.
HEAR! HEAR!
I was one of the only two Fwooshers who included Doc Samson on their top 10 vote this last round.
Come on people, I know none of you are happy with that stinky turd Hasbro released back in the dark days.
Same goes for Mole Man. And again, only one other fwoosher and myself wisely included him on their top 10 list. Sad.
I'm all for getting novel characters but, I need Hasbro to continue making up for their past egregious failures and update these two asap.
Next top 10 we seriously need to get those numbers up! Go team!!
Yeah... sorry my esteemed gorilla but I will never EVER vote for a remake in a top 10 list over 10 worthy UNMADE characters. Not ever.
I'm on board with a new Doc Samson 100%. I disliked the old figure so much I sold it off, which I normally wouldn't do without some version of the character to replace him.
Mole Man I still think is a great figure, but I do agree he should get remade for new collectors. I'd rather get Diablo and Red Ghost though!
That early effort Doc Samson is a crime against plastic, an obscenity in the face of toys, and a blight on the idea and ideals of articulation. I am one thousand percent in favor of a new one. Same exact costume, but better.
Preach, brother! Doc's original/classic costume/look has always been one of my absolute favorites. I would love a new version on a Hercules/Hyperion/Thor-scaled body.

I don't think I'd started posting again during that vote. Otherwise there likely would have been 3. lol
Yeah... here's the thing... I'm not defending the Doc Samson we have. The figure ain't great. And if (nay, when) they eventually make a new one I will, indeed, buy it. But placing it in my top 10 list is simply a bridge too far. That was the Silverback's lament, and that is what I was protesting.
In no way should that be construed as a defense of the pitiful effort Hasbro put forth previously.
Also, M'Baku doesn't get sad... he gets angry
Thing is they have damn near everything they need to make Doc Samson. Hercules body with classic Tombstone belt. New boot and probably lower legs along with the obligatory head sculpt and we've got him.
I mentioned this before when the Heroes for Hire 2-packs were arriving but, that Luke Cage build is very close to what I would want in a proper Doc Samson. A modified upper torso with accurate collar and new lower half. Done.
Now I'm kinda liking that Hercules idea though. Doc IS a big boy.
I'm surprised to see so much love for Marrow. Looking back, I always thought she was the biggest whiff on the MvC roster.
That picture of Hulks and the Doc Samson discussion reminded me that we really need a Smart Hulk - not made since ToyBiz did one 20 years ago. Leaves a gap in the evolution of Hulk, now that we have a good Bruce Banner, 1st Appearance, your standard Savage, Joe Fixit, and Maestro versions.
Probably could also do with a redo on "The End" Hulk and Gladiator Hulk from the FFF wave...although I can live with what we have (maybe Doc and others are outdated but that was a great wave at the time...)

I mean, some of us like her from the comics? I don't give a rats ass about Marvel vs Capcom. Not a video game guy at all.
