A classic Dr. Doom with all the bells and whistles is one of the few characters I would bite the bullet for a Maximum release. But it would have to be the classic look they have yet to do.
Imagine the uproar if the only proper Classic Doom release was $50...
I guess... but also, if it included multiple heads and a ton of awesome accessories someone like me - who obviously was negative about the pricing on the Spider-Man - would be an advocate, so maybe not as much as you might think?
Or maybe I'm being naive. Like I've said before - there is a very limited list of characters that I think I would find value in in this "Maximum" offering space, but Dr. Doom is one I could definitely see and justify.
LIke the rumored Maximum Deadpool coming up - hard pass. No interest. Probably a Maximum Daredevil. Not really something I need. Maximum Punisher - while I could see it - multiple head options, swappable arms for a trenchcoat vs. no coat option, and lots and lots of guns, grenades, weapons - still not something I'm desperate for.
One other I could maybe justify would be Archangel - give him three sets of swappable wings - fully expanded, semi folded and fully compacted - multiple heads: death mask, full cowl, flowing blond hair - some loose flechettes for weaponry, a flight stand. I could justify a Maximum price point for that.
But the list is short for me. Doom is one I could really get behind.
The one thing I’ve been wondering about this Maximum line is in opposition to this, Hasbro should just do an All Star line with the Alisters if they want to keep them in rotation. I remember DCUC did an allstar line that would always put out previous figures of their most popular character at pretty much then same price point. No BAFs. So the Maximum line can come with all the bells and whistles at the higher price point. And the “AllStar” line can just give us poor plebs the normal msrp version. Maybe come with a different base headsculpt to differentiate it more from its Max version or slightly different coloring. And rotate the same figures a year or two apart so Hasbro can still take advantage of FOMO. Lol.
Hasbro is practically doing this already with MCU versions. There is absolutely no reason they can’t make an evergreen line of main guys like Spidey, Cap, Wolverine, Daredevil, Punisher.
