Ooh. That's got She-Hulk written all over it.

And in the gaps they wrote Thundra and Titania.

Good to see a base body for larger female characters. I can think of a lot of reuse for this buck. Heck, at a distance she reminds me of this Titania from the Grapplers. Seeing as how this character is pretty far down the list, I might pick up an extra Power Princess to make my own.

Man, this is a brilliant idea! I've always been a fan of The Grapplers team (and all of the UCWF characters, really; what an absurdly awesome concept) and am chomping at the bit to add another one to my collection. I'm totally going to put your idea into action myself. Power Princess already looks like she'll be an easy contender for my top figure of 2024, but I'm also optimistic about her follow up uses.

In addition to Thundra, Valkyrie, and Titania, we could also get Stunner, Letha, and some perfect 80s She-Hulks. They could knock just about everyone of those figures out of the park with this new buck.

I could and hope to see them use that base body for some of the female members of the Serpent Society like Black Mamba, Diamondback or the Asp.

I admit that every time I hear someone add a Jim Hammond Torch to a want list, I squint and think “We already have one.” But then I remember that the one I have isn’t official and is the Select Hammond head on the retro carded Torch body. Still happy with it though. 

That was the sole reason that I bought the MS Torch was for that classic faceless Torch head. Granted, I modified the base to use with my FF Torch so that was an additional bonus. 

I guess I should clarify that when I mention Hammond Torch, my most desired version is just a depowered one in his red/yellow costume.

Wouldn't Power Princess be too large/buff for those ladies?  Granted, I'm not sure exactly how large the PP figure is, but I would think she's a bit larger than a typical female figure.

The “Savage She Hulk” they made was really good but I’d replace her with a classic Savage Jen. New body; rubbery cape overlay of the shredded white onesie. Hell I’d take 4 Jens. Purple/white for Avengers shelf, white onesie for Hulk shelf, FF costume for FF shelf and pencil skirt lawyer for the street hero shelf.

That's the whole reason I bought the Select Torch as well. I had no desire whatsoever for the Torch himself, but that featureless Hammond head (and hands) work perfectly on the retro-carded ML Torch body so I couldn't pass that up. But I also agree that I'd love a depowered Jim Hammond in his red Byrne/Avengers West Coast-era costume.

You have a pic by chance? I still haven't opened my classic ML Torch b/c I need to set aside a little time to brighten up the yellow orange flame highlights. Was planning on making him Johnny but I don't hate the Walgreens Johnny I brightened up the flames on already. That figure is thicker though and bodywise maybe makes more sense as the android torch but that smiley head is def wrong as a Golden Age Torch.

I'd love more Invaders / All Winners Squad fleshing out. Hasbro could make us pay the new tooling cost for a teenage sized Golden Age Bucky by putting him in a 5 figure set with some pretty low tooling cost figures. FA Cap (80th Cap with helmet head and flesh colored neck and triangle shield), Golden Age Namor (more alien looking Bill Everett head. Maybe pinless), original Torch (Walgreen's Torch repainted) & Spitfire (pretty cheap generic lady buck).

@derrabbi I thought I had a pic handy somewhere but I can't find it. So when I get home I'll try to dig him out and snap a couple quick pics.

Me too - wonder if we'll ever see a Whizzer in ML? I want two versions, but I'd settle for the classic Invaders look (also want an 80's Squadron Supreme look).

Is it weird that, if I had to choose, I'd rather have a de-flamed version of Jim Hammond?

@derrabbi, here’s a few quick pics…

What's kind of fun about doing this is that it puts Jim Hammond and the retro-carded Vision on the same Sunfire buck, and, well...y'know...

Wow, that head sizes a lot better with a ML body than I would have expected. Looks great!
