A 90s animated Mandarin in a retro card maybe the best way to go. 

 

I love that like 5 guys in a row are like "any version of Mandarin except the green skinned animated one" -  and wummy just rolls in and say "animated may be the best way to go".     He knows,  Fwoosh forum opinions don't matter.

I am absolutely in for Mandarin. And like @panthercult, his Acts of Vengeance armor is my preferred choice, followed closely by the animated suit then the crime boss Jim Lee look from Lady Mandarin’s first appearance. 

Pass on the other guy. 

Mandarin, I'd take.

@thor-el Put me down for a third vote for the Acts Of Vengeance armour.   I really like that look for some reason and it is right in my wheelhouse of heavy reading days.  Otherwise I am good with most of the Mandarin's looks, EXCEPT for the business suit look.   I don't want, or need, another civilian suit figure.   Especially for a main Iron Man villain.

Raidan/Phaser is a pass as I have no idea who the character is, like his sister.

Yes to Mandarin. I'd want a classic, masked version most of all but would like to get his robe update and AoV armor also.

Day #1010 - Elektra (Jennifer Garner), plus Korvac (Archive Day #316)

The Korvac Saga - my ultimate goal to complete the cast on this cover, and we are so close to doing so (Korvac, Starhawk, Charlie-27, Martinex, Nikki, Two-Gun Kid and to a lesser degree Whizzer, Collector, Perez Beast, classic Ms. Marvel, classic Moondragon and Wasp in her orange/gold costume. I don't comment much in this thread about which characters I want or not, but I definitely prefer Korvac to be in his cyborg form, as it is just so cool looking as opposed to his glowing human form.

As much as I love Garner, I'd have to pass on her Elektra because I only collect comic looks for ML.

Korvac is a maybe...never was a big fan of his robotic shipping container lower half look. I'd consider one of his energy form if it was well executed.

Hard nope on movie Elektra.    I actually have guilty pleasure watched that movie more than is reasonable, but I do not want or need a figure.

Korvac is a definite want.   Probably would prefer the half floating machine, half dude version as a figure -  but I could see them doing a translucent yellow figure with some internal energy effects as it would be easier.   Heck, I'd buy both versions.     

Yes to Korvac.  His cyborg look is cool and all, but that would be new tooling with little reuse.  So, as much as it pains me to say this, Beamish, I think we’d get the energy form first because it’s pretty easy to execute from reuse.  I’m intrigued by the “Korvacticus” look, but I think Hasbro will pass on that for the same reasons outlined above.

Not a MCU guy, so Garner’s Elektra would be a pass for me.

I love Jennifer Garner. But that's not enough reason to want a figure of her. I might bite only if they were doing a complete cast of Deadpool and Wolverine.

I also like Jennifer Garner, but I don't need an Elektra figure of her.  Rarely do MCU these days so she's a pass.

Korvac would depend on the execution.  Cyborg look would make an interesting figure for the shelf.  Translucent energy look would be a maybe on sale.

I have zero interest in a Jennifer Garner Elektra but would certainly buy Korvac.

A half-man/half-nubbin' Korvac would be hard to pass up.

Big yes to classic cyborg desk jockey Korvac. Love that look. I'd likely be okay with some kind of translucent energy form Korvac as well, but only after the cyborg.

Massive pass on Garner Elektra. Bleh.

I think I say it every time Korvac is mentioned around here: I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't made him yet and even more surprised he isn't a bigger want for the Avengers folks.
