Does anyone know if Mantis has ever had a trading card in one of her more classic looks? I found one in the red/blue Guardians uniform from a 2022 series (a look I also want), but the classic version is what I'd want to include in this set.

From the Fwoosh Top 10 Poll:

I took out She-Hulk, Destiny and Iron Fist

I only went to 16. There is a 9-way tie in the next grouping which would take us way over 20.

Β 

1) Crystal (21 votes)

2) Skurge (16 votes)

3-4) Attuma (tie 13 votes)

3-4) Banshee - in green (tie 13 votes)Β 

5) Rachel Summers - Hound/Phoenix getting the most votes (11 votes)

6) Mantis (10 votes)

7-9) Gorgon (tie 9 votes)

7-9) Marrina (tie 9 votes)

7-9) Titania tie 9 votes)

10-11) Mandarin (tie 8 votes)

10-11) Psylocke - Outback getting the most votes (tie 8 votes)

12) Feral (7 votes)

13-16) Falcon - classic red/white 1970s (tie 6 votes)

13-16) Jack of Hearts (tie 6 votes)

13-16) M'Baku (tie 6 votes)

13-16)Β  Starfox (tie 6 votes)

Β 

BAF

1) Lockjaw (12 votes)

2) Armor (6 votes)

3) Dragon Man (5 votes)

Β 

This is perfect, thanks Beamish! I may select from that 9-way tie to round it out to 20, or throw in Foom as the top Haslab vote getter. Appreciate you pulling the list together (not to mention running the top 10 in the first place!).

Β 

Β 

You could fill in the gaps from @spideyboy1111's Facebook page Top 10-15 results that aren't duplicated:

Mephisto

Werewolf By Night

Jean Grey - X-Factor

Deathbird

Astonishing Beast

Box Set - Warriors Three

Deluxe - Valkyrie with Aragorn

Β 

The 9-way tie from the Fwoosh poll are:

Dracula )4 votes Colan, 1 vote red armor that we are getting)

Firebird

Gargoyle

Marrow

Mephisto

Rogue (Who's votes were all over the place for specific costumes, but none of the votes were for the same costume. 1 of those votes was for the 1st appearance look we are getting)

Swordsman

Wizard

Yellowjacket (Pym)

Β 

Mephisto is on both lists so he's probably a lock!

Β

Only one of my votes (Psylocke) made the list. I'm happy to donate any of my other nine to bump up Mephisto.

Alright, so I'm having trouble finding decent cards for a few characters. Anyone know of any good ones out there?

  • Executioner (comic)
  • Mantis (classic/70s look)
  • Psylocke (Outback)
  • M'Baku
  • Starfox
  • Firebird
  • Gargoyle
  • Marrow
  • Yellowjacket

Excellent Beamish, thank you!

Any idea what that series that Yellowjacket is from?

Not a clue.

Mantis had a few options but none of them were classic.

I couldn't find anything with Gargoyle.

If I were any good at photo shop or graphic design, I'd make them.

Thanks!

It's too late now, but some custom cards is exactly what I have in mind for next year's Top 10 winners.Β 

I was surprised how few of the top vote getters I had in my card collection - really goes to show what a tremendous job they've done of getting through the pantheon of classic Marvel characters.

Amazing! I was using that site too, and somehow missed this. Just ordered one off the 'bay.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I think it would be neat to present the Fwoosh Top 10 (or 20, or whatever number makes sense) to the ML team in trading card form - basically just collect cards of the top poll winners as a neat way to show them our collective top wants. I'm not attending, but if anyone is headed to SDCC and would want to make the hand-off I'd be happy to collect the cards and send them your way! I'll find a nice way to present them too, so it's not just a handful of loose cards to awkwardly hand over.

I'm your huckleberry.Β 

We can't send private messages on this board anymore, but I'll get you my email address somehow, no worries.Β  I'd love to get those cards to the boys.

Β 

@sdcomics, I've gathered the cards from the four corners of the world and should be able to send them your way soon! Hit me up here: [email protected] (using an email mask in case the bots pick it up, I'll respond from my actual account). Thanks!
