I'm good with the Iceman I have now (the retro-carded one I think?). If they did a more snowman-wit-boots version as part of a box set, I might bite on that. But otherwise I don't need another.

Don't they have the WWBN parts half done? Jackyl body on new ripped jeans legs and he's pretty much done. Though more articulation would be nice.

So many Icemen and still I don't feel there is a definitive one. They've yet to make an angular musculature buck that mimics his classic look of the late Silver and Bronze Age. Always cheating by just putting him on a basic painted regular blank buck. His musculature should be slightly angular (but not 90's extreme spikey angular like later versions) They could make this buck and it might could see some reuse for Martinex and maybe Garrok the petrified man; though it seems Martinex should be a little thicker and Garrok considerably thinner.

I also still really want a FA black booty Iceman. The Iceman that came with that set is really dialed in. Hasbro needs to bite the bullet and make a lumpy body; maybe some of the pieces could be shared with a Swarm.

I'd really like to see an update to this:

Maybe a blockier Iceman with a removable X-factor power inhibitor belt? As for un-iced looks, definitely the Champions version to complement the Angel we just received….but we’d need a redo of Hasbro’s pre-RoML Herc (which I greatly want), a motorcycle for Blaze, a new OG Darkstar (also a lowkey want), and redo of Black Goliath (also a big want, but only if it's the OG dark-blue/yellow/crazy-collar barrel-chested Byrne goodness BG)…I’d be overjoyed with a boxset, but so many other teams are in front of this particular want.

I would really love a definitive version of Iceman. Much like what Pancha described. I actually don't have as much issue with using the Sunfire body the retro figure is on, but the head they gave him is too big (and has that unsightly crack across the face of every copy). He's got such a simple, straightforward design, that it's amazing to me that we still don't have a GOOD classic version. This needs to be prioritized before getting just about any of the many designs he's had over the years. Plenty of them would be welcome, but not until we get a good standard one.

I like the idea of an angular build with inhibitor belt.  AOA and Snowman with booties in waves or sets with other folks from those teams and I'd be on board too.

@thor-el I truly believe that version of Bill would appeal to a wide cross-section of fans given how striking an image the character’s design cut. It was Black Goliath (as illustrated by Byrne) that inspired me to track down back issues of the Champions as a child. However, if Hasbro is dragging feet regarding budget for a similar collar for Iron Fist, I can only imagine the implications for a proper BG.

Iceman?  Who’s that?  

just kidding.  I’m okay with the Icemans/Icemen I’ve got, but I’m sure we’ll see more of him in the future.  
Now maybe we can get an Icemaster…

Tana Nile and Synapse have cool looks. 

Definitely yes to Werewolf by Night. 

I’d get any fully iced versions of Iceman, although my favorite look for him is AoA, and I’m very happy with that figure of him.

Honestly with Iceman there are so many looks they could probably do a whole wave of just him and not get enough variety for everyone.

Personally I just want a classic first appearance X-Men costume and first appearance X-Factor costume and I am good.  Maybe an update ice body as well.

Day #869 - Crippler, plus Starhawk and Aleta (Archive Day #194)

Dear Hasbro: the original GOTG, along with the Inhumans and Starjammers - can we just finish off these teams already?

I'm good on Ice Man unless they make a better proportioned non translucent version of him.  If he came with some cool effects and/or an ice slide, I'd be more inclined to pick him up.

Crippler?  Pass on most characters I don't know.

Starhawk male or female would be a maybe on sale or clearance.

I want Starhawk and Aleta so badly. And the rest of the classic Guardians. They will always be my Guardians team over the ones we got in the MCU.

Every Iceman figure we've ever gotten is a disappointment. Please do him right for once Hasbro.
