Major bummer. I still interact with him on Instagram. But we lost a lot of the Iron Legion members in the Fwoosh blip. Sadness.Yes to comic Wong and Baron Mordo!
And yes to Iron Man villain Justin Hammer, although I have a very cool custom that Stark Resilient made for me. Did you you ever rejoin the forums, Stark Resilient?!
I don't think Stark Resilient is ever coming back. I text with him every now and then because we're both Jersey people, and while he's still pretty excited about ML, especially the latest retro wave of Iron Man figures, it's probably not enough for him to want to post here again.
On topic, yes to Slyde! I loved reading about him in the Official Handbook back in the day.
Yes to Frigga. Both MCU and her modern comic warrior look from War of the Realms.
I thought that Stark Resilient came back, unless he disappeared after the last blip?
Classic yellow Mandroids! I would buy - SO many.
Jet Zola is a new one to me. For anyone curious: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Jet_Zola_(Earth-616)
I guess if I really was interested in these, I would have just picked up those Zurg bots when the Lightyear merch was all over the place. I don't think I need BAF sized army builders right now. I still have 4-5 of the original gray Mandroids.
Like @h-bird said, I'd buy multiple classic yellow Mandoids. I bought the lone yellow Zurg robot I found from Buzz Lightyear pretty much for this very reason.
Pass on Jet Zola. No clue who that is, and no interest in her.
Jet Zola has a cool design but she's from one of my least favorite Rick Remender stories.
I'd get both. 🙂
A Jet/Ian 2-Pack would be great. Also, classic yellow Mandroids would be a hoot.
So, when I saw the heading for today I was like "who's Jet Zola - that sounds like an easy skip" and then I looked at the posted images and I'll be damned if that isn't a figure I would happily buy and add to the display. The character design is appealing - though I think I prefer the first costume with full coverage to that second costume with so much unnecessary skin displayed. Regardless - an instance where a solid character design would get me to grab the figure and learn about the character after the fact.
As for Mandroids - I am hugely in favor of more. I love them in their sleek gold designs. I would love a metallic red repaint to represent the Hellfire Club's appropriation of the armor for their own use as seen in Uncanny X-Men 129. In fact:

I did indeed buy 4 of these Zurg bots to repaint - 3 in metallic yellow and one in metallic red to serve exactly that purpose.
Even so, I'd be happy if Legends released an official version - I'd probably end up with around 5 of them.
I’d love some classic golden Mandroids. Cost might be a factor in how many I could get, but they’d be fun to have.
Jet Zola looks like she escaped from Kirby’s Fourth World, possibly from the Female Furies. I would probably pass on her though. I’ve no real connection to the character.

...well, see, NOW you made me want her just to stand in my Fourth World display. *grumble*
I wouldn't mind a couple Mandroids.
No connection to Jet Zola. Pass
Wasn't a big fan of the Planet Zola story line and the characters that came out of it. So an easy pass on Jet Zola.
MANDROIDS FOR THE WIN!!!!
I can't believe the ML team hasn't tried to return to the Mandroids in some form since the grey BAF from years ago. As others mentioned, I managed to snag a couple of the Zurg bots on the cheap to give me a stand in for the Mandroids. Frankly they do a pretty damn good job of it too. So much so that I don't know how much I really need a ML Mandroid.
However if they were to do a deluxe sized ML Mandroid in the Armor Wars era design I would be all over it for sure.
Yes to Jet Zola—cool character design.
Definitely want a bunch of the classic golden yellow Mandroids! I have two of the old gunmetal BAF, which is a cool figure as well. And I got a Zurg robot also. But I’d love some of the classic golden SHIELD Mandroids in Legends.
