Talisman in her debut look is very much a Yes from me. It would be interesting to see how they’d translate that costume into a figure.

Ezekiel is a pass.

Yes to both. I've had Ezekiel on my custom to-do list for ages. Talisman is welcome.

Yes to both. 😀

Pass on Ezekiel Sims.

FA Talisman would be great.  Would definitely like more Alpha Flight.

That new Last Stand Spider-Man that is coming out probably will be my stand-in for Ezekiel.

I'd get Ezekiel while secretly wishing he was Jack Hawksmoor. Talisman is a yes.

Talisman, Marrina, and Box are essential to complete the classic Alpha Flight team. A three-pack a la Excalibur with them would be great.

Day #786 - Cobalt Man, plus Man-Ape/M'Baku

I think the real question is: should M'Baku be standard, BAF or deluxe?

Yes to Defenders bat$#!7 Cobalt Man. Definitely.

I’ve been on the fence regarding a canon FA Man-Ape, but I think I would get one if done correctly with the proper proportions and accents.

Well it's a big ol' pile of YES from me on this catch up day.

Blade -  a thousand percent yes to original Blade in his green coat and his cool shades I needs it!  I wants it!   I also wouldn't pass on the 90's era Midnight Sons version similar to the 5" figure Toy Biz did.   I have some nostalgia for that look too -  but if I'm only getting one - it has to be the OG look

Talisman is an enormous yes as well.   She is SUPER necessary for me to consider my Alpha Flight team anywhere close to complete.     Marinna, Talisman and Box are the minimum threshold for that team.   There are others I'd like but those are non-negotiable.

Ezekiel Sims???? Who? What?   I think I'm cool without a super skinny shirtless dude on my shelf.    That one is a hard pass

Cobalt Man -  Yep, absolutely.   Seems like he should be fairly easy to do repurposing some of the early Iron Man costume stuff for his first look - but I'd be down for any of his outfits really.   I'm interested.

But none of all of that matters at all next to the #1 most needed Marvel Legend figure there is.    

I need Hasbro to deliver a classic comic M'Baku figure yesterday -  and really it should come with a letter of apology to me for taking this long.    The character is iconic.   He is arguably Black Panther's greatest villain with a broad impact and regular conflicts with the Avengers.   He's part of Marvel's most successful non-team movie (well's he's in their most successful team movies too).    He's overdue for a figure.   I would go on a hunger strike until he's announced but I fear I'd be long dead.    This is one I can never be satisfied with my collection if we don't get.  

I'd definitely buy both Cobalt Man and a comic based M'Baku.

I think the most likely way to get a M'Baku would be an Amazon/Pulse exclusive 3-pack (similar to the Nimrod one) with a couple of other Black Panther figures, one likely having to be yet another T'Challa and the other could probably be just about anything that didn't also require a lot of new tooling... maybe a White Wolf variant to the existing Hatut Zeraze figure or classic BP from that same wave. I just can't see a comic M'Baku at retail.

I hear you on that - and would even be OK with it.   Honestly a BP repaint/reissue and a solid comic Killmonger figure (you could even reuse the ceremonial mask from the movie figure with a repaint) would be such a home run for me I might cry.  

Of course if I'm pipe dreaming this pack, give me classic M'Baku and then BP and Killmonger looking like this:

Yes to Cobalt Man and M'Baku

Yes to classic Blade, Talisman, Cobalt Man (I prefer the second costume, with the weird bar across his face), and DEFINITELY M'Baku. I'd really like a simpler, 60s-era look for him but the more ornate modern look would be cool too.

@panthercult is right that he's loooooong overdue.

I'd go for a classic Cobalt Man.

But I really really really really really want a classic Man-Ape/M'Baku!  Hasbro if you are reading this thread, please find some way to get this important villain to retail/etail.  Fan channel, deluxe, multipack, I don't care.  Just get it done.  We should have had him yesterday already.

My vote goes for a 3 pack.  Jungle Action themed Black Panther, Killmonger, and Man-Ape.  Thank you!
