I'd love an Amazon 5-pack of Texas Twister, Shooting Star, Red Wolf, Firebird, and Phantom Rider. Would a Riders 2-pack with Phantom Rider and Banshee be preferable? Of course, but Hasbro seems scared of horses so getting the whole team (sans Lobo) in a single box set like Alpha Flight might be our best option.

The multi-pack would be cool, but with Texas Twister, Shooting Star, Red Wolf, Lobo, Firebird, and a bonus cub Lobo.  Phantom Rider and Banshee in a Riders style set would be ideal.  He’s a character that really needs his steed.  And, as brought up time and again in this forum, a horse has a lot of reuse potential.

I agree wholeheartedly, and full disclosure that's the breakdown I first went with but changed it before posting because of Hasbro's resistance to horses. But yeah, I'd MUCH rather have that kind of a 5-pack plus Riders 2-pack to make the team.

But regardless, I hope that if they do make a horse, that they have the foresight to mold it so that wings can be added to it at a future time for Aragorn, Brightwind, Strider, and Valinor. Something even the Mythic Legions folks didn't do with their horses.

I’ve always gotten Texas Twister confused with Dum Dum Dugan.

Day #1019 - Alpha Ray, plus Frenzy (Archive Day #324)

Not a lot of pictures of Alpha Ray, but he's kinda, sorta, not really a Herald...

Yes on Alpha Ray. Always glad to add more characters to Thor's corner (or Beta Ray Bill's, in this case) of the Marvel U.

Pass on Frenzy. Maybe. If they start doing more of the classic Mutant Massacre Marauders, I may cave. I liked that story and they fit into the timeframe of my collecting focus.

No to Alpha Ray, yes to early X-Factor Frenzy. Tangent, but I'd also love a Tower, Timeshadow and for completion's sake, Stinger.

Alpha Ray would make a cool figure!

Pass on Frenzy.  But if they make her, they should do her original look.

Both would be neat to get. Classic 80s Frenzy is more of a want, for me, though. 😀

Big YES to a classic Frenzy!  I always preferred her in that AoE role.  So an affirmative to Frenzy and the rest of AoE.

Not that familiar with Alpha Ray, but he looks pretty toyetic.  So, sure.

Don't care about Alpha Ray.   That's not a thing I know or care about.

 

Huge yes to Frenzy.   I would love a classic Frenzy more than I want an Acolyte Cargill figure but I would happily take both if Hasbro gets around to them.

I'd go for Acolyte look Frenzy personally, hopefully with some other Acolytes.  I only have a vague memory of Alpha Ray, but I dig Andrea DiVito's art so I'd pick him up.

Not familiar with Alpha Ray but he's kinda neat looking. Probably a clearance pick up.

 

Yes to both classic Frenzy and her Acolyte look, with a stronger preference for the 80s first appearance Alliance of Evil costume.

I’d flip for an Age of X or X-Men Legacy era Frenzy, what an awesome look; if not 1st Appearance.

Alpha Ray is a pass, but I would love to see how the ML team takes on the figure.   Actually probably a yes on deep discount.

Frenzy is a pass, but she definitely should get a figure if even I know a bit about her.   I think her original, and Acolyte looks would be the best choices.
