I'd get both
Big yes to Armor. Probably easier said than done but I don't understand why it'd be difficult to just release her as a BAF, sculpted into translucent armor. Then release a powered down version later.
Well, I’m no toy designer, nor engineer on any level, but, even in some of the illustrations above, Hisako’s joints don’t align with her psionic exoskeleton. I believe articulation for the psionic shell and her physical form within will be a significant hurdle for any action figure maker.
They could; her armor is barely wider than her body in the last few photos Beamish posted. Obviously the big ass armor would be cooler, but I'll take what I can get.
Don't know who Junta is and his look isn't overly interesting so an easy pass.
Armor would have to be a deluxe with a shell otherwise pass.
@ctv Possibly, but even a thinner exoskeleton might cause unnatural geometry within the base fig.
Let me retread and say that I also want Armor. It doesn’t make sense to go on about why I think it won’t happen or wouldn’t work. The trick, as I see it, is how any toymaker reconciles the internal human form with an abstract and transparent (preferably, bulky) exo-suit. It’s a challenge, for sure, but anything is possible
Neither of these are pressing wants for me, but I'd be tempted if they got made.
Yes to Armor! I'll have to look up Junta.
Yes to Armor! She’d make for a really cool looking figure.
For sure Armor would be super tricky because you can't reasonably articulate both the smaller human figure and the larger armor shell figure at the same time.
So, you either release an articulated girl figure that can snap into an unarticulated translucent shell. Or an articulated larger armor figure with the girl cast inside, but even that isn't practical because the human joints aren't spaced at the same place as the armor joints so as soon as you posed it at all it would look ridiculous and wrong.
So, if this figure were going to happen at all it would be engineered closer to the Toy Biz 5" Fitzroy figure with his translucent green armor
Yes to Armor but the bulky armour version, like people have said I’m not sure how you’d do her though.
Classic Mastermind is a huge want of mine and is probably in my top 20 wants for the Legends line. I fudged my own using the head from the Hellfire Club box and a cobbled together coat - but I sure would like an official version to replace it. It's minimal new tooling but would be a huge win for the line.
As for Firebrand - I'm a yes - preferably for one (or both) of the first two costumes. Not a huge fan of the oversized armored look and the female versions costume just seems fairly generic.
YES please to classic Gary Gilbert Firebrand. While he's not high on my wishlist, I'd definitely buy a proper Mastermind.
Pass on classic Mastermind (again, only because I stopped buying X-related Marvel Legends), but a big Yes to the classic male Firebrand in original costume.
Is what Mastermind wears a duster or an Inverness cape? Either way I’d take one despite making an ok one myself already
I want all of them
