I'd buy them all!
I'd probably get most of these.
Passes all around. I read the original Fantastic Force series, and never took much of a shine to it, and definitely don't care about any modern incarnation.
OK - so I'll go retro first. I even put the entire original Fantastic Force team on my FF Top 10 in the poll thread we did. So yes I absolutely want them and ALL of them. In order of importance to me personally
Vibraxas - I mean, he's Wakandan, so it's a no-brainer. I liked having another Wakandan super hero out there doing stuff. I liked the look. I would love a figure.
Devlor - an awesome, monstrous Inhuman... what's not to love.
Huntara - half sister to Reed Richards? Bad ass warrior woman trained by Warlord Kargul. Honestly she'd probably be pretty easy to make reusing parts from Angela and Power Princess or something.
Psi-Lord - yeah, my least favorite of the group is the aged up Franklin Richards in super-hero armor or whatever, but you gotta complete the team, man.
As for the new team... I have zero knowledge about any of them, have read no stories with them, have no context for who they are, what they do or why the exist - but honestly, they look like fun. Hulk Jr seems like easy enough re-use of Cho Hulk parts or a smart hulk head or whatever that why not do him. Alex Ultron, sure why not... Lightwiave? That's an easy all translucent yellow figure with some energy effects. Natalie X, Psionics and the Hooded Man? Sure why not.
Lightwave? Pah. They won’t even give us a Lightmaster, and he’s been around far longer.
Big ol' nope for both incarnations of Fantastic Force. The new team looks generic as hell with a side of "hey this guy/gal looks like one of your favourites right?"
-The original team looks better but I'm biased towards the 70s-90s era of costumes so..... Even then I'm still not really sold on the original team either.
That original Fantastic Force team was kind of fun even if it really was SO 90's. Psi-Lord's gratuitous armor, Vibraxas's gratuitous armor - why with the shoulder pads? Huntara looking suspiciously like a certain Angel from Image comics... and of course the oversized brute of the team - every team has to have one.
Still, that book was a guilty pleasure and it guest starred Black Panther a few times so I was obligated to participate.
I have a spot for them on my FF shelf if the day ever comes.
I'd go with Hulk Jr and Hooded Man since they're the future versions of Old Man Logan and the baby Hulk accessory. But they are not necessary for my collection at all.
In for both today.
The Doomsday Man would make a good BaF, and I'd love the version that appeared in Busiek & Ordway's arc of Avengers.
As for Kristoff, I'd love the second, third, and/or fourth pic versions.
I'd buy both! I actually still have the Toy Biz House of M Inhuman Torch representing Kristoff in my display. I had kind of forgotten about him!
I'd get both. 😀
I would get the Doomsday Man but would actually prefer the late 90's iteration over the original 70's look.
As for Kristoff, probably - but I think my most preferred look would be the Doom armor without the cape but with the face plate off. I think that would fit best on my shelf and is the version I'm most connected to.
