I'd be passes on everything from today.

Likewise. Classic Handbook Basilisk or GTFO. And less than no desire for any of The Nasty Boys.

 

A hearty second from me.

Yes to Basilisk (Basil Elks).

I’d get Danger because I like robots, but if we talking about robotic women,  I’d prefer Alkhema by a lot. I’d also buy a pinless redo of Jocasta. And the female Spaceknights like Starshine, Ikon, Trapper, Scanner, etc. I’d love them in Legends.

My thing with Danger, is I didn't love the character in the comics but I wouldn't be opposed to a figure if we didn't have one,  but we already got a figure.   There IS a Marvel Legends Danger figure.   It exists.   So what we are talking about is does Danger deserve a second Marvel Legends figure -  before the hundreds of worthy characters that haven't had one yet.      

 

Does Danger deserve a second figure more than Pixie deserves a first figure?   More than Armor?  more than Dust?  More than comic Mantis, more than Firebird?  more than Marrina or Talisman from Alpha Flight?   More than Jolt from Thunderbolts?  More than Diamondback, Anaconda, Asp, Black Mamba, Princess Python and on and on and on?    And that's just the start of the ladies list... the list of male characters that haven't been made yet that should get a figure before Danger gets another one.... well it's a long, long line.

I hear that PC, and prioritizing the new is a sentiment I completely share. For whatever reason in this thread I table any consideration of who should/needs to get made first, and tend to just answer the question up or down - would you like a figure of this character? In this case, the existing figure of Danger is not nearly as good as it *could* be based on the comic design, so the answer is yes. I could easily rattle off 250 names I'd rather see come before Danger gets redone, but I don't really worry about that here.

Not saying that's how anyone else should be enjoying the One A Day thread. Just sharing thoughts!

Thats totally fair... and everyone gets to want whatever they want and express that however they like.

I'm a pass on the others and the Nasty Boys (didn't we have them recently on One A Day?).

 

Gorgeous George was an Archive Guest Star Day pick a little while back, but I added him anyways as to not break up the set 😀  

 

That's a relief.   Now I don't have to worry that I am losing my mind......well maybe only slowly losing it.

The Blackbird suffers from the same problem as the Quinjet.  They’re too darn big, if they’re done in proper Legends scale with the figures.  Both would be nice to have, but the size to display them is problematic, and the corresponding price tag would make my wallet curl up and hide.  Ideally, they’d both be fun, put practically, I’d likely have to pass.

Same here!

While I think the Blackbird and Quinjet would be super cool, the reality is I have no space for either.  The little space I do have is going to larger figures like Galactus, Sentinel, and Giant Man.

If they do make the Blackbird, I hope they make the classic SR-71 look.  Then again maybe they should make one of the more modern looks so I won't be tempted 🙂

I'd pass on the Blackbird.

When they were doing the Marvel Universe line (or even the more recent 5poa 1:18 scale figure line) I'd have bet even money on a HasLab Blackbird and/or Quinjet. But at 1:12 scale...? No way.

A comic book accurate Black Bird could be neat to get. 😀

I'd love it but I can't even imagine how much it would cost even for an underscaled version. I still have that Toy Biz movie X-Jet that is pictured and I have that suspended above my X-Men display. I have to imagine that's as close as I'm ever going to get.

It would be cool but cost and space would likely keep me from getting it.

I’d get just about any Blackbird they felt like making; though my top choice would be a First Class style one.

Id take a Quinjet too of course.

Nicely done Spotlight with all the references.  Thanks!

 

If I was going to have a 1/12 scale pseudo SR71 type toy plane in my collection, it would be a cobra Night Raven.

:large

The X-Men can borrow it from Cobra if they want.
