A couple of those Psylocke pics would be neat to see, and I've always loved that one pic of her, in the swimsuit, shown before the live action Betsy.
I'm all over original pink costume Betsy, as well as her first Captain Britain outfit. Her Outback armored look holds a special spot in my heart, but I don't display that era of X-Men, so I'd likely pass on that. Maybe. But I know that's the outfit I think most of you want for her.
Pass on all other versions of the character.
I'd get any that help complete teams/line-ups that have been started.
The outback armored look would be a purchase.
I wouldn't mind the original pink outfit either.
The rest are a pass. But man some of those almost give Savage Land Rogue a run for her money. 😜
Anything without “X”’s splattered over every inch of it.
Really, the armored look is the the only other look I need. A few others would be gravy, but most are passes.
I'm someone who only ideally likes to keep one version of any character. My favorite look for Betsy has always been the ninja costume that Toy Biz did and that Hasbro did in the Apocalypse BAF wave (which I never got). I'm kind of hoping that I really like the rumored Marvel vs Capcom version, although I definitely don't want to buy another Thanos. Right now I've got both of the 3-pack versions and the old Toy Biz one, but will probably only keep 2 long term, one for Betsy and one for Kwannon.
Yes to Betsy as Captain Britain, the X-Men: Disassembled costume, the 80s outback armor, and Olivia Munn.
I loved Punisher MAX (the Ennis run, anyway) but I'm not sure I really need figures from it, you know? Kinda stands on its own. Feels weird to take a book that consistently dark and have a fun superhero battle with the characters.
"In the end, the war in Vietnam was much like any other. There are those who profited. Those it devoured. And then there were those for whom there are no words." Can't wait to have Barracuda fight Ant-Man! Oh no, MODOK's joined the fray! Will Punisher arrive in time in his battle van?
I gotta re-read MAX. I read it as a teen and loved it. The older I get, the less I can stomach Ennis' work, but I'm curious to know if it holds up.
Punisher Max remains one of my favorite comic runs of all time. It has its share of the type of Ennis-isms that totally turned me off from ever reading more than one or two issues of the Boys, but on the whole I think its incredible. I'm not a huge Punisher fan otherwise, but something about the whole 10 volume Max series just really resonates with me.

What's Delilah's deal? I love the weird thing they do with her lettering, is that power-related or is she just so haughty and extra she changes the laws of the book around her?
I agree with not needing figures from Punisher Max generally, though I'd carve out an exception for Barracuda. He definitely felt closer to an outlandish comic book villain than any other antagonist throughout the series, and would make a fun figure. I'm definitely *not* looking to have figures of the mobsters, human traffickers, and Russian colonels that made up the rest of the book.
I'd also love a figure of the Russian. The Marvel Knights Ennis Punisher (before the Max run) is a mixed bag and nothing to rave about, but it had its moments. The Russian had a simple but identifiable look with his red and white striped shirt that I'd be happy to display. Make pre- and post-enhancements versions Hasbro, you cowards.
Top Psylocke needs:
- Armored Outback
- Classic pink
- Ninja/90s remake (superarticulated, with Crimson Dawn alt-head)
- Captain Britain
Psylocke isn't really on my radar as a favorite character, but she's had a bunch of iconic looks that deserve good figures. I've only read a slice of the Krakoa era but I really love her Captain Britain design and would pick up a figure in a heartbeat, though its definitely not the highest priority.
Comic book Ulysses would be great to get. 🙂
Classic comic Ulysses for me please.
Pass on Elsa, but absolutely in for a proper classic comic Ulysses Bloodstone.
