Yes to both of these today. More previously unmade X-Men, please! I'd buy a comic Jimmy Woo as well but I'm also ok with the MCU version we got.

Double pass for me today. I suppose I could be talked into a comic Jimmy Woo, but there are lots of others I’d want before him. Plus, if and until the other ‘50s Avengers/Agents if Atlas are done, he’d seem pointless.

Double pass for me as well.  So many other characters that I'd rather have than these two.

Yes to Surge, no to Jimmy Woo even though I did buy the MCU version.

Big Ol' pass on Surge.   Not a character I am familiar with and not one that really sticks out to me as needing a figure.

Would love a comic Jimmy Woo, but only as part of a box set, or wave, with the other Agents Of Atlas/50s Avengers.   He would basically be a redo of the MCU version we already got and that didn't move much so I imagine the comic version would be the same.    That's why he needs to be part of a set rather than a single figure.

Day #910 - Surge, plus Jimmy Woo (comic version Archive Day #231)

Chamber was Archive Day #232

I still think that this looks like the gun from the sneak peek.

Surge and Jimmy in box sets with their teammates would be keen.

I mean I want comic Jimmy Woo if we are getting M-11, Venus, Gorilla Man, Marvel Boy, etc. We all know how unlikely that is.

Day #911 - Punisher 2099, plus Mantis (Archive Day #233)

Beamish steps on his soapbox.

Ok, I'm gonna rant. Comic Mantis is my #3 most wanted figure. She is a classic character who has really been through the ringer over the years, leaving a lasting impression wherever she show's up, most notably Avengers, Silver Surfer and GOTG. With her background she is one of the most diverse characters Marvel has. She's one of the characters without a comic figure that has the most MCU appearances besides Wong, I think she's tied with Nebula. Her original costume is so unique and colorful that it would really pop on a shelf. A Mantis/Swordsman 2-pack is just begging to be made.

Yet I think we all know when they finally get round to making her that:

1) Her original costume is going to be deemed "too risque" ala Moondragon, ironically her rival, who they could have easily made her original costume with no thong and no plunging neckline. They made such a to do yesterday about how Dwight and Jesse decided to make an amalgam of Odin, pulling from different artwork, that their "we can't do this costume" argument is now completely flat. Also we know an updated Shanna the She-Devil can't be too far behind, and none of her costumes are demure.

2) Members of the Legends team that skew modern, like Jesse Falcon will want the "modern" version.

I'm so salty about Mantis that I almost just put pictures of her new alien-esque look instead of her traditional look.

But if they go traditional, would you prefer human skin tone or plant green skin tone?

I'm with you on Mantis.  Classic all the way with human skin tone.  I don't care if they close up the plunging neckline a bit to make it less risque, as long as it still comes close to the classic look.  Can't believe we don't have her yet.

I'd buy both a Punisher 2099 and a comic based Mantis, honestly any comic based Mantis. I'd prefer something more classic than modern, but I'd take either over the MCU versions that we've gotten. I'd love a Mantis/Swordsman 2-pack.

Yes to both today.  For Mantis I'd prefer classic with human skin tone.
