First and Last Box pics for me.
Pass on both today.
I'd get them all.
The Jeffries Box would be extremely tempting, especially if I can fudge him into my MCU collection. That version in the final picture.
Quick weekend recap
Horsies are a big, big yes
Aragorn/Brightwind/Strider/Mr. Horse
These are all essentially the same horse - I don’t know that I would buy three - especially if I don’t have Dani in her Valkyrie get up. I could see myself maybe buying two – one for Brunnhilde and one for Dane… but then again, maybe not because…
Valinor/Hellhorse
Again – these are essentially the same figure, assuming Valinor came with the bat wings and not the feather wings - although making Aragorn first and then packing in some repainted Aragorn feather wings so you swap between bat and feather would be pretty boss. I think Valinor would be my preferred ride for Mr. Whitman
But I might have to get two so Dreadknight had his ride as well
Thunder - meh… don’t really have that Black Kinght, don’t really need that knight’s horse.
Banshee - Pack him in a box with the original Ghost Rider/Night Rider and it I’m all in. That would be such a win. I would love it.
Steel/Cyclone/Smoky/Apache/Blazer/Ichabod
In the best world we could get a horse and rider set like twice a year and get all of these
Kid Colt and Steel; Two Gun Kid and Cyclone; Rawhide Kid and Smoky; Outlaw Kid and Blazer;
Spider-Horse - yes, please for sure. I would definitely, definitely pick this one up.
Ember - I mean, it’s a flaming, X-horse. Of course. Gimme, gimme, gimme!
So, I’m not sure why Thunder is the go to name for horses (sound of hoofbeats, I mean, I get that, but…) I left that off of every one of the western characters as they had other horse names… but I don’t need it for Major Maple Leaf either. I doubt MML is getting a figure, so his generic brown horse with a generic horse name doesn’t make the cut.
Rintrah - Comic Rintrah would be most welcome in my collection. The movie Rintrah is one of the few MCU figures I have fudged into my comic display because I highly doubt a comic version of the character is ever coming. But I would welcome him if he did.
Deathcry - definite yes. Shiar, always need more of those. Official member of the Avengers, that’s an automatic entry into my display. Give me the figure Hasbro. Deathbird first though, please
Lord Chaos and Master Order is a sure fine whatever sort of thing for me. I’m not sure how they’d do it… a figure of two floating heads like they did with the HeroClix would be a weird thing to buy as a figure. But… they don’t have bodies, so… I’m fine having them remain as concepts and not getting 3-D renders.
Box on the other hand is now in my top 20 most wanted figure list and in my top 5 BAF list. I NEED Box to get made. I vastly prefer the early Alpha Flight designs for Box - the Byrne design is far superior to the later Jim Lee look. So that’s the one I want and I really hope that he and Marrina make it into the line.
Pass on Chaos/Order. I would also be a pass on Box, as I sold off my Alpha Flight set. They were already using outdated bucks and the time that has passed since hasn't helped. Would have jumped on Box a few years ago though.
Chaos & Order are passes for me. Don’t really need bodiless heads with static expressions as figures.
Box(es) on the other hand, are definite wants. I do prefer the Jeffries Box, but would also welcome the Bochs Box. That “Rover” design would make for a fun figure too. Of course I want a figure of Jeffries, himself too, so maybe a two-pack of Jeffries and his Box would be doable.
Pass on Chaos and Order.
Definitely want the original blue Box.
Blue version of the Bochs armor and the last picture for both the armor and Jeffries.
Definitely in for the Byrne Box in both blue and red. No desire for the later Jeffries version.
Order and Chaos would be cool for the cosmic shelf, if done like the HeroClix and included in a 2-pack with another desired cosmic character.
I’d be in for a Roger version of Box.
I didn't know they did a Heroclix versioin of Lord Chaos and Master Order. That is cool. I figure that is pretty much the only way to get them done since they don't have bodies. Probably as pack-ins with something else. Either way I would be down for them just to have in my cosmic display.
Box is a must have for me. A lot of the different versions would be great. Only a few would be a pass.
Box is an absolute yes - both Bochs and Jeffries versions.
I'd also love to get the floating heads of Order and Chaos. I feel like there must be some Halloween decoration or something out there with a grotesque face in roughly the right scale to stand in for Master Chaos - just needs some paint. And Order should be even easier to source. Everyone keep an eye out as the season approaches!
