Oooh.... I think today is a rare double pass for me.
I honestly am not a huge fan of civilians in my comic hero display. And while I have the Cho Hulk figure already I'm not dying for a figure of the kid in his civvies. I'm sure if they made the figure I'd pick it up, but it's not one I care if they ever get around to, frankly.
As for Rune, I'm not super huge into the Ultraverse characters that didn't stick in the Marvel Universe. In reading up on it, I guess Rune interacted with a lot of Marvel characters and did possess all of the Infinity Stones at one point... But if we're making skinny, life draining characters give me Baron Blood way before you give me Rune, please.
Cho isn’t one I’m pining away for. I’d consider him if they made him, but he’s not a character I have a connection with. But this hit me thinking. Hasbro gave us a Banner/Hulk two pack. What if they continued the idea:
Cho./ Awesome Hulk
Walters / She-Hulk
Blonsky / Abomination
Ross / Rulk
Rick Jones / A-Bomb
There’s possibilities there.
As for Rune.. let me think…. Hmm.. YES!
I’d love to see some Ultraverse Legends while I’m still young enough to appreciate them.
No interest in human form Cho.
Not familiar with Rune and his look is okay, but not a character I am looking to add to my collection.
I'd buy Rune but pass on human Amadeus now that we have Brawn.
Double pass for me today.
Also in the "double pass" camp today
I'd get Striker if they gave him swap out X Necrosha techno-organic parts. Beyond that I don't need the character if they're not going to do Purifiers also.
I'm sure some would want him for their movie shelf also, but I don't personally need one.
So... no connection to Machine Teen and that look couldn't be more boring. Basic teenager with extendable robotic appendages? Pass
Cerise on the other hand is a big yes. We are sorely lacking in Shi'ar in the collection. Deathbird needs to come first. But Cerise is definitely necessary and my Excalibur line up will never truly be complete without her and Kylun.
Other Shi'ar we need besides Deathbird and Cerise: Deathcry (Avengers, baby), Korvus, D'Ken, Talon, Raptor, and of course all of the Imperial Guard... I dig me some Shi'ar baby.
We need a Shi’ar box set that could knock a bunch of those out.
As to today’s offerings:
Im a Cerise fan, and would love to have her (and Kylun, Feron, Widget, MicroMax) to further expand the classic Excalibur.
“Machine Teen” sounds like (and looks like) a freaking Saturday morning cartoon character. Pass.
Catching up a little, I'd definitely be in for both Rune and Cerise. Pass on the other guys.
Double pass today. Not familiar with Machine Teen and while Cerise is from my heyday of reading I am not clamoring for a figure of her.
Pass on Machine Teen.
If they make Cerise, I hope it’s the 3rd picture.
I'd buy both, but neither is a priority for me.
If Machine Teen had some machine parts showing then yes.
