Sure, they all would be good to get, especially Salem's Seven.
Yes to Captain Midlands and to Salems Seven
Had the comic for the first image of the Salem Seven growing up. Love me some more Fantastic Four goodness. Gotta have classic old withered Agatha Harkness to go with the classic awesomeness of the first two images for the Salem Seven. More please Hasbro.
Captain who??? pass
I’d buy Salem’s Seven for eye candy value. I don’t care a damn for the character of Captain Midlands, but seeing as I’m living in the (East) Midlands at the mo and my wife is from this part of the world, I guess I’d have to buy the figure to represent!
Further back, but Swarm is right up in my Top 10 figures. Can’t wait to get that guy.
Jeez I guess I should be glad I didn't know Captain Midlands existed until today. Pass
Salem Seven is a bit of a deep cut for me and I like the original looks, but not really interested.
Overdrive would be a pass, but I'd be all over some Dire Wraiths!! (Presuming I could find any. I don't have the best of luck with army builders.)
Overdrive is certainly overdue and would help finally complete a team. I've been using a kitbash made out of a GI Joe Classified Snake Eyes as a placeholder for him. While I'd certainly buy a Dire Wraith, it's not high on my list of wants.
I'd be a pass on Overdrive and a pass on Dire Wraith unless it was a BAF in a wave of figures I wanted. In that case, I'd build and keep one.
Of course, the Dire Wraiths, but not without Hybrid and never sans (or before) ROM!
I would get both
Somehow it’s midweek catch up time since Monday’s entries were posted after my weekend catch up and I didn’t check in yesterday.
684 – Executive Elite:
Oof… this all in on X-Men characters thing is starting to stretch a little thin. Commcast got himself a 5 inch figure and so would be a no brainer of a pick up. Makeshift and Rive are some fairly generic mid 90’s creations that I don’t care much about. Rive in particular makes me laugh sporting a Psylocke sword AND wolverine claws. Sigh.
Archive 35 - Erik the Red:
Yep, I want this one, like, yesterday. Erik the Red was a fun conceit when it originally debuted, but then became more fun when it wasn’t just Cyclops playing dress up but an actual agent of the Shi’ar empire. I love the character design and it got a nice figure in the 5” line so I need that one on my shelf.
685 – Captain Midlands:
Ummm…. Who? That’s a pass from me. Looks more suited to a G.I. Joe line than Marvel Legends and isn’t a character I know anything about and certainly not one I care about. That’s a big ol’ pass from me.
Archive 36 - Salem’s Seven:
The character designs are fun and zany. The concept of the group is interesting. If these somehow made it into Legends I wouldn’t be mad and would likely pick them up… but there are SO MANY super teams I want to see made and/or completed before we ever see these. Inhumans, Eternals, Serpent Society and U-Foes are teams I need to see complete or mostly complete before I’d be interested in getting this group on my shelf.
686 – Overdrive:
An absolute yes to this guy and frankly it’s surprising they haven’t already worked him in. I have a stand in on my shelf at this point, but it would be nice to get an official version. He’s a necessary addition for the Spidey rogues gallery shelf.
Archive 37 – Dire Wraiths:
Definitely a want. It would be best if they could release one in conjunction with an official Legends scaled (if not Legends branded) Rom figure. I know it was planned as a figure way back when by Toy Biz (as part of the Silver Surfer line, I think)… and we definitely need them in our Legends collection.
Yes to Overdrive! The Foes need to be completed.
Overdrive is an easy pass. His look is so generic that I don't see how he wouldn't be a major peg warmer.
The Dire Wraiths were never much of an interest for me and their look is "meh." I get they were important in some stories, but no interest on my part.
I would only consider these two on a deep sale. Otherwise pass on both.
