Classic Attuma is long overdue. So, a big YES there. No to blind Al.
OK.... so, as much as I enjoy Blind Al as a character in the Deadpool books (and in the movies) I have less than zero need for a figure of her. There is just no reason for me to have her on the shelf - regardless of her importance in Deadpool's story.
Attuma on the other hand is solidly in my top 5 characters I want in Marvel Legends. I am honestly stunned and flabbergasted we don't have him yet.
The use of him in the movies I feel diminished him. It made him a forgettable flunky - not even a second banana, little more than henchman for Namor. So, the fact that they made an MCU figure of him is less than meaningless to me. If they are using his MCU presence as a pretext or excuse not to make a comic figure that is unacceptable.
Attuma is an enormously important character in the comics with an iconic design that would make and incredible action figure. My preference would be for a figure along the lines of images 6 through 9 above - the yellow/gold armor is how I think of him most, although the designs in the first 5 images are pretty good too - I'd just prefer the helmet to not be red, orange or purple. But Attuma is such a glaring hole in the current Legends collection I don't see how they can continue to exclude him.
While I also pine for M'baku and Skurge - if I'm honest I can admit that Attuma is more central... more important.. to the overall Marvel story than those others and deserves a figure as much or more than almost any other unmade character at this point.
It pains me that the Retro FF wave is the poster child for Hasbro's pandemic over production - clearance crash because a second wave of FF Retro figures probably would have delivered an Attuma, at least one of our missing Inhumans (Triton probably), and maybe a Wizard figure. I wish it had been a brilliant seller so we got more.
BIG YES to classic Attuma in his handbook/action figure look. Even better if he comes in that FF Retro card packaging. Equally giant PASS on Blind Al. Bleh.
No interest in Al and Deuce, lest they came in a box set with more desirable characters.
Attuma is a glaring omission in the Legends line after all these years. (Amazing, how many of those are still around.). Definite yes to Attuma. (And Merrano while we’re at it. C’mon Hasbro, we are seriously lacking Atlanteans here).
Yes to all, comic book versions, please, especially the 80s handbook edition of Attuma.
I'd absolutely buy both a comic version of Attuma and Blind Al. Our best chance at Blind Al might be a MCU version from this Deadpool movie wave, but I highly doubt it.
Yes to Dr. Demonicus, Bi-Beast, Attuma (seriously, how the Hell have they not done him yet), and classic Yukio.
As much as I'd like to say I wouldn't buy Blind Al & Deuce, I know I'd be mighty tempted if I actually saw them on pegs.
As much as I loved the Shogun Warriors as a kid, I don't really want smaller versions of them (and, as others have pointed out, there are imports of those if you really want them). A big (no pun intended) part of the appeal of those was having giant robots to fight Godzilla and other giant robots! In order for them to be done in ML style, they'd have to be HasLab, and I just don't want them that much, if I'm honest. Plus, my favorite SW characters weren't even in the Marvel comic (I had Mazinga & Godzilla, while my brother had Dragoon. I think a neighbor kid had Gaiking).
Shogun Warriors –
Speaking as someone who had two of the original two foot tall Shogun Warriors – and the associated Godzilla – as a kid, these were some of the greatest toys ever. (In fairness, I didn’t have all of that - I had Godzilla, my brother had Mazinger (Mazinga?) and my next door neighbor/best friend had Raydeen)… but they were awesome. My brother used his to menace his Micronauts a lot - but mostly Raydeen stood sentry over the vast Star Wars complex we built in my neighbors backyard to protect it when Godzilla would invade - which happened more often than you might think. My brother often used his Mazinger as the Empire’s secret weapon - forcing Godzilla and Raydeen to team up. Man that was the best.
I had to chuckle at this, as it brought back SO many memories! My brother really only played with stuff like Shogun Warriors or Star Wars if we had friends over. He was far more interested in Hot Wheels, and had a modular Hot Wheels "city" with buildings and roads. He'd play with that for hours...until I (in proper older sibling fashion) would have Godzilla attack! He'd get SO mad while I was having Mazinga fend off the giant irradiated lizard!
Attuma is a huge want at this point. I don't need many Namor villains but definitely want Attuma,Orca, and Krang (My enjoyment of Headhunter, the most powerful woman on Wall Street aside)
The handbook/5 inch figure coloring is the version I'd like the most. The movie BAF is in no way a good stand-in considering that thing seemed to be in 5 inch scale.
A classic Attuma from the first few images or the handbook version would be an instant purchase. Attuma is one of the glaring omissions from the villain side of Marvel Legends.
No interest in Blind Al or Deuce the Devil Dog.
I'm a pass on Blind Al and Devil Dog. No attachment to the character even though I enjoy the movie version.
Add me to the chorus asking for Attuma (Handbook look for me). Definitely need that version of him in my collection.
Definitely want classic Attuma in yellow or gold armor. He must be on Hasbro’s short list—they’ve done a great job at creating the animated Avengers Assemble version of the Cabal. And now that we are getting Dracula, Attuma is the last character we need in Marvel Legends!
