Definitely a “Yes!” for Terminus. Ideally as a HasLab so he can be big, but nothing shorter than 12 inch tall if that’s all that they can do.

Warhawk's cool. An Iron Fist antagonist that doesn't look like another martial artist is a novelty.

Terminus would be fantastic, but as others mention - he's too huge. Celestial territory. And his joints are weirdly rounded. He's a great candidate for that suggestion that comes up around here every so often: release these really big characters in rotocast format: big, hollow, light, cheap, less articulation; but Terminus is no ballerina.

Surprisingly I don't know Warhawk at all.  The look is kind of hit and miss for me, but I would probably bite on him on sale.

Terminus would be great, but as others said I don't know how they could ever do him just size-wise and have him sell.

Yes to Vermin.  They made that Jackal body so long ago and I'm surprised it never made another appearance.

Yes to both today. Red 9 is just goofy, and Vermin is a classic character easily done.

weekend catch up again

 

The Redeemers aren’t something I felt like I need a bunch of.    But there are some I would take figures of

 

Nighthawk would be fine.   I love the version we’ve got,  but this alternate costume isn’t terrible.

Haywire is cool and has made enough appearances I’d be happy to add him to my mort villains display

Golden Archer is a good one for the Squadron Supreme display.   Ape-X is a fun design

The rest of them would be a stretch for me with so many more worthy characters I’d rather see get the attention.

 

820 -  Warhawk

For sure I’d take him.    I first encountered him in Uncanny X-Men 110,  but eventually had the Marvel Premiere and PM/IF appearances too.     He was around in books when I was first reading and so he holds an outsized place in my comic memory.    So yes to a figure, for sure.    They could probably get a two for one out of him.     Flesh tone head and hands for Unus the untouchable and then silver head/hands and the daggers on the chest  and it’s Warhawk.

 

Terminus is too big to realistically be done.    For a proper sized figure he’d have to be Haslab sized and there is just no way enough people are paying Haslab prices to get a Terminus figure off the ground.    I’d happily take it -  and would sign up for one.   

 

821 -  Red 9 is a “nah fam” from me.    I didn’t read the stories he was in (other than the Initiative  - but he was pretty forgettable in that)  and the costume design is pretty stupid.   Just no need for that on my shelf.

Vermin on the other hand is a big yes.     Need a  6" figure of him.    Seems like it could be a relatively easy double dip with him and Werewolf by Night.     Could probably use most of the parts from the Jackal figure frankly with different head, crotch and thighs.        Honestly can’t believe we don’t have him yet.

Definite yes for Vermin.

 

Red 9… don’t really know this character well.  I’d probably pass, except maybe on clearance.

As an addendum to my previous “yes” for Vermin, getting him would get us all the closer to a Werewolf By Night.

I know nothing about Red 9, but I'd probably pick him up - he's my flavour of ridiculous.

Vermin on the other hand would be an instant buy - he really feels like a 'when, not if' figure, with the re-use potential and relative popularity.

Like others, I'm not ever expecting to see Terminus done properly, but I'd absolutely throw down cash if he were.

A pass on both today.

I don't know who Red 9 is and can't say I would be inclined to pick him up.

Vermin, while an important Spidey character without a modern figure, is not a character I am all that interested in picking up as a figure.
