Husk is safely within my Top 10 most wanted figures. The power set is a little problematic to capture in figure form but I'd be perfectly happy with them mostly using the Monet St Croix figure from last year for Husk. Perhaps include some alternate parts for the powers....

First costume Husk please.  Also, when I saw today's headline my brain immediately read "Huck Finn."

My second favorite X-team with my second favorite member from that team (Chamber is my first)!? Um, yes, please. Make sure her uniform matches the Monet we already have, and definitely need some alternate pieces for her powers. I'm never a fan of paying more, but she's one I'd accept a deluxe of.

Though, I feel like to do her supreme justice, they'd need to copy everything about the Amazing Yamaguchi Kirishima. The way you can mix & match different sections of smooth & rocky skin (and the fact you get one & a half figures in that set with one full smooth torso/arms/head, and one full rocky) just works too well.

Not that anyone even saw it, let alone listened to it, but I tweeted at the Legends team awhile ago that they should take their feathered wing cues from the AY Hawks, and while nowhere near similar, the new Angel's wings are really, really good...

So, I have absolutely no idea who Fin is, where he comes from or how he factors into Marvel comics but if you rolled out a figure that looked like that I'm buying it in a heartbeat.   That's just what it is.   Big ol brother with green fin on his head and some audacious duds.  I am DOWN.    Toss in his cool ass Tiger Man partner and that's an even bigger win.    Like for real,   no context at all for how these guys factor into the Marvel Universe and it wouldn't matter a jot - I would buy up both of those instantaneously.

 

And Husk is a gimme, gimme NOW scenario..    I would honestly prefer a powered up iteration of the character be released because I -  like probably 50% of Legends collectors -  already popped an extra blond head and some pink hands on a Monet body for the Gen X Paige look.    So a cool shiny metal or diamond or whatever look would work or half and half, something that displays her powers more than her basic Gen X uniform would.   But yes.  Give me Husk please, for sure and soon.

@panthercult 

Fin, and Man-Eater (tiger guy) are members of Silver Sable’s super team The Intruders, along with Battlestar, Paladin, Sandman, and Lightbright (yes, Lightbright)

Anywho, Fin and Husk would both be a yes for me.

Clearly I haven't kept up with the roster.    I remember Silver Sable's team and knew that Battlestar, Paladin and even Sandman had been on it.    Unaware - unfortunately for me, clearly - of those other three.    I have figures of Sable, Paladin and Sandman already and a custom I made of Battlestar... so now I need these dudes even more than I did before.

Absolutely on Husk. Guessing we’ll get her since they finally did M and Chamber last year.

Definitely need Husk now that we have Monet and Chamber.

If I saw Fin in a store, I would be tempted.  Otherwise it's a double pass again.

Neither of these choices today is a want for me.

However I see the appeal in Fin and Husk is a good C (B?) tier character.

I hate the X-Men movies. That said, I would buy all of them.

Jeeeez I remember being SO HYPED when these figures came out. It was like nothing we've gotten before. Live action designs for the most popular comic book characters of the moment. Action features were still the norm, and super-articulation hadn't really debuted yet. I was equally impressed and embarrassed by some of those figures and accessories. There were these incredible likenesses of Famke Janssen and Ray Park, then these ridiculous accessories like the fall-apart security guard and donut, and the melted Senator Kelly. There was that Jean Grey on her knees, encased in slime? And of course like 10 variations of Wolverine the star, who was so unusually TALL. It was really a weird moment in action figure collecting.

While I enjoyed the movies for their time, I don't really want any action figures from them.
