I mean -  the first Black Death design - the one that's actually black - is cool looking and I would accept that as a figure regardless of having not read the appearance or knowing what his deal is.   The red costume doesn't make much sense with the name and looks more "generic costume supe" so I'd be less inclined.   The third look is overdesigned junk and again, doesn't make much sense with the name.   If your name is BLACK Death - go with the theme and have a little more, y'know black in the costume.

 

Midnight Sun would be a definite buy.  It's a great look.  A fun character whether going buy just Midnight as he did at first or adding Sun to the name as he did when he went more cosmic as a threat.   I prefer the more black suit, purple cape look of the earlier appearances to the purple suit, grey cape of the later depictions though.

 

Oops! I forgot to add the moniker for the red costume. He was a novice superhero named Greenwich Guardian, got disillusioned, then became Black Death. Agreed that the red suit very generic.

Not familiar with Black Death but that first costume is very cool, I'd pick that up. Maybe in a 2-pack with Gravity?

And yes to Midnight Sun.

This, as long as Midnight Sun is in his cosmic Silver Surfer-fighting getup.

That first design for Black Death would make for a cool figure. Midnight Sun is a simple, yet effective design. Yes to both today.

Pass on all versions of Black Death.

Midnight Sun looks cool!  I'd pick up his first look.  Three pack with Mantis and Swordsman 🙂

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

Huge yes to both selections today.

 

Vostok is fun and I'm a fan of the entire Soviet Super Soldiers / Red Guard / Whatever they rename it group.   

 

And Screaming Mimi is awesome.   Definitely need her for the Masters of Evil display.   Yes please.

Yes!  I find I actually want two Vostoks.  One from pics 1/2 and one from 4/5.  Russian counterpart groups are such a great idea.

And I don't have a favorite of the Screaming Mimi options.  Frankly the differences are so minor to me I'd never notice.

I definitely want a Volstok/Sputnik (pics 4-5 preferred.). I’m a fan of the People’s Protectorate, and the Russian heroes in general.  His original look is still my favorite, and I’m not wild about his later looks.

Screaming Mimi, is a “sure, why not?” We need lady grapplers.  Hasbro hasn’t given us any of them yet.
