I'd pick up Joaquin.

Classic Pip would be great! Could be a fun BAF for the Strange Tales wave. But if we got him we neeeeeeeeed classic Adam Warlock.

I’d be in for a classic comic version of Pip. I’ve been using the old figure that came with a Surfer figure for awhile. He serves as an adequate placeholder. 

Pass on that Falcon.

I'd definitely be in for both of these today. I expect that we'll get a MCU version of Joaquin for next year's Captain America movie, but I'd rather have a comic version. I continue to use the old Pip the Troll from Toy Biz Silver Surfer series but certainly would love to replace it!

I'd get both, especially a classic Pip the Troll. 😀

I'm good without the new Falcon.

I am definitely down for a Pip The Troll figure.  I would prefer the Starlin/Lim era Pip as a figure.

I really want a figure of the new Falcon Joaquin Torres. I love the way his costume homages Sam's original look - maybe he's got a shot!

Pip, yes, absolutely! Need the whole Infinity Watch.

No real interest in Joaquin, so a pass from me.

 

Pip is a welcome addition to Legends.  More cosmic.  More Infinity Watch.

Magik -  big ol YEP.    I love Illyana and would take her in a myriad of her various looks – though some are definitely better than others.    I forgot she even wore the Hellions fuscia/mauve combo costume -  I would LOVE a set of figures in those costumes -   standard male body could deliver pretty much everybody but James and a standard female body could be used for ALL the ladies -  I would buy so, so many.       But I’d buy Magik in almost any of the costumes they haven’t already made.

 

895 – Typeface -   OK,  I don’t know who this guy is or what his deal is but this looks like one of the mortiest morts to ever mort.    This guy makes Kitemaster and Calendar Man look formidable.    It’s a vociferous “PASS” on this character

 

Archive – Gorgon -   Are you kidding me.   The fact that we still don’t have Crystal and Gorgon in Legends is practically a hate crime.    It legitimately makes me angry.      Gorgon, Crystal, Lockjaw, Triton and Maximus are the bare minimum we need for Inhumans representation.    Poor Karnak feeling pretty lonely since Black Bolt can’t talk to him and Medusa is busy wrestling with Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four.   Sigh.

 

896 -  Joaquin Torres Falcon -   big yes.   I’m ready to have this guy on my shelf.   I love the green/yellow color scheme of his costume, reminiscent of Sam’s original super duds.    He’s been around long enough, he’s been part of the (new) New Warriors… he’s needed.

 

Archive -  Pip the Troll -    Of course we need a good Pip figure.   They gave us the Infinity Watch Drax, and the Infinity Watch team has to have Pip around, so yes please.    Also, as averse as I am to figure re-dos most of the time I will concede that an update Adam Warlock would probably be welcome as well.

Might be interested in Pip, but really only as a pack-in for a modern Gamora (who is sorely needed). But I’d absolutely take a Torres Falcon. That’d be another Champion added to the lineup and I’m bummed the 3.75” version never got made.

Oh wow, I had no idea a 3.75" version was ever planned! That actually gives me hope seeing as every other figure in that lineup has been made in Legends.

Big yes to adding to the Champions too - we need Viv Vision!

I have a shelf dedicated to X-Factor Investigations, so Pip is a definite yes.

While I wouldn't have space for a Falcon figure, did you all know that Danny Ramirez played Wes on the Gifted?

Day #897 - Aleph, plus Headmen (Archive Day #218)

If Hasbro ever made the Headmen that would be the most amazing boxset ever

Shrunken Bones (Headmen)

Can't say I'm familiar with Aleph.... looks like a pretty generic human annihilating robot type... an Ultron knock off.   Since I don't have a connection to the story I don't need an awkward looking robot type when I've got a gorgeous Ultron to do the same job.    Hard pass on Aleph

 

The Headmen on the other hand would be ridiculous fun.    They are likely too wild to actually get a release.   I suppose that if Legends ever did decide to invest in a gorilla body - to deliver Gorilla Man or the Super Apes or whatever, then Nagan could make sense as something cheap and easy to do;  and Ruby Thursday could be easily done on an existing body;   Chondu the mystic could be trickier depending on what route they chose - obviously his crazy mish mash monster body would be the most fun, but the mechanical arms body would be fairly easy (just adapt some Iron Spider legs and a head with an attachment...), or they could cop out and do a basic human body (boo).   Jerry Morgan would be tougher to do and would likely require too much unique tooling to get right to bother with -  but they could do something sneaking instead like sneak in one of the less regular "members" like Angar the Screamer or Dr. Bong -  both of which people would probably be happy to see.
