A MS Namor would be great. And would have a nice ride from the McFarlane Aquaman 2 seahorse.
Would love to see MS take a crack at Scarlet Witch. I would steal all her effects! 🙂
Could armored Mandarin from Acts of Vengeance apply? AoV was name-dropped but regarding the minor villains in it. Could the mention of AoV be a hint at armored Mandarin from it? Is it a popular enough look to warrant a MS? ML has been avoiding Mandarin, so maybe a MS Mandarin would garner some extra sales from ML fans.
I'd love to see that. Mandarin has to be really up there as far as unrepresented Big Bads. The blue AOV armor would make a fantastic figure. I don't know if it just caught me at the right time in my life, but Acts of Vengeance holds a warm spot in my heart and is still one of my favorite crossover concepts.
I only mentioned Orca because Ram did. And I only mentioned AoV because that is literally the only place I have ever seen Orca appear, besides the Marvel Handbook.
I am not sure of Marvel's position on the Mandarin, but the armor was a short lived look. We did the robe look for Minimates, but that was a while ago.
I doubt we'd do another classic Thor, we've done so many great Thors, Mighty Thor is perfect. Plenty of other characters looking for re-dos. That said, Simonson Armored would be great.
Stegron, Blastaar, Titania, Leader, and Kingpin would make great Marvel Select figures, too.
Mighty Thor IS perfect. Possibly the best Marvel Select figure in the entire line. A new version of the classic look wouldn't be unprecedented though. Look at Cap. Got a classic look earlier in the line, getting another classic look shortly. Green Goblin's figures don't differ much either, one is clearly very Silver Age inspired with limited articulation, but the follow up to that was pretty much the classic costume. Spider-Man has had a couple of classic representations, again the latter with better articulation and sculpt. I can't imagine Wolverine won't get an upgrade. So I'd be bummed if Thor didn't get one.
But let's refocus on Namor. The fact that he's got MSWord's support means we need to rally behind this character. Just imagine how dope he'd look with the upcoming Cap and the Jim Hammond version of Human Torch. I bought a second Torch just for this reason. Imagine how dope he'll look stealing Reed Richards' girl. Imagine how dope he'll look with Dr Strange and Hulk and Silver Surfer (who could use an upgrade himself, but back on topic). Imagine his glistening biceps, washboard stomach, and scaled trunks. There's something for everyone here. NAMOR!
Crimson Dynamo looks glorious! I already have his spot reserved next to Titanium Man.
Yeah, a lack of Namor IS pretty surprising, would've thought DST would've done the classic of one of his X-Men uniforms already. Or his amazing current suit with shell armor pieces.
As for the old GG, I love that figure. And I do mean that, I don't care about the weak articulation as having him on the glider would've been the only way to display the figure anyway.
Thos? Would've been that 2% better with an alternate splayed left.
Crimson Dynamo looks glorious! I already have his spot reserved next to Titanium Man.
Likewise. The Winter Guard is eagerly awaiting their comrade's arrival.
After reading the praise for the MS Taskmaster, I bought one off Mercari. It arrived today and you all were not wrong; it truly is perfect. Thank you guys for pointing that figure out. It somehow completely flew under my radar.
A Select Hydro-Man would be cool to see.
While I'd love a comic Man-Ape, I don't think he's popular enough to get a MS figure. Again, I'd love to see it happen, though.
Namor is a tough one. He's obviously been around forever and is a big part of the MU. But he's never been a big product mover. I fear they wouldn't go with his original trunks look, even thought that's his most iconic, as it's a rather plain look. The character did get recent MCU exposure, but I also don't think people are buzzing about his movie presence. So I'm not sure there's much buzz about him. Does MS still make bases for any of their figures, because I can see some kind of base to help spruce a figure up a bit? I do love the character and would like to see him get more love.
Namor would look great with a water base like how Human Torch came with that awesome figure stand/base.
