I'd get both, Cerise is a must have. 🙂
I'm a bit meh on The Fin... he's fine. If there was a bigger commitment to some of the Golden Age heroes I'd grab the figure... but if they released him now, I'm not sure I'd get him. Out of context as one of the only GA heroes on my shelf... maybe.
Enormous, biggest possible yes to Bill Foster in any and all incarnations. I want Black Goliath, I want Giant Man, I want Bill Foster in a lab coat (yeah, I know, I'm a hypocrite, so sue me) - Honest to goodness I would buy them all. I really, really want a 10 to 12 inch figure format that could give me a great classic Black Goliath figure. I have every issue of his solo title, every appearance the character made in any book and of course I have my entire head canon run of Champions 18 through 50 where he featured heavily 😉 I also want a good figure of him as Giant Man as he appeared in his substantial guest stint in Marvel Two in One - that was such a solid run on that title with him and Thing dealing with Project Pegasus, good stuff man. I'd happily buy figures of those costumes as 12 inch figures AND as six inch figures... and then I'd buy him in his lab coat too. That one's super easy. It's just a new head on one of the lab coat bodies you've already got. I think I picked up an extra Egghead body to swap a suitable head and hands onto for that figure already myself, but I'd actually buy an official one for sure.
Gimme, gimme, gimme my Bill Foster.
The three phases of Bill I want:
Pass on the Fin. He'd be a maybe if they made some of the important golden age heroes we've asked for more.
Would definitely pick up a Bill Foster Giant Man in the white and blue look. I'd be fine with a 12"-!8" version.
The Fin would probably be a yes, but dependent on how they executed his look.
Giant Man, Black Goliath, etc. is an easy yes (comic only). He has a number of looks I would easily buy on the spot.
Tsk tsk @Beamish You left off the Bill Foster figures we’ve already gotten,
However if Hasbro wants revisit Bill, in any of his looks or names, I’m all for it.
As for the Fin, he’d be a yes. While we only have a few Gokden Age characters (Cap, Namor, Red Skull, and Bucky (sort of)), we could certainly use more. I’ll support any GA characters they want to give us.
Heck, I’ll even take the Barracuda there.
I'd be a pass on The Fin. Don't really have much desire for the character.
BIG YES to Bill Foster, especially in his "Black Goliath" incarnation. Friggin' love that look. Plus, another Champion to add to the group.
I'd buy the Fin, but not a high priority. I'm less interested in Bill Foster just because I already own both the Gigantic Battles and MCU versions shared by @detectivehoag above. I'm sure that I'd still buy a comic update but as a rule remakes are never high desires for me and are automatically disqualified from my personal wishlists.
This is my minds eye Bill Foster, so I’d be down for Hasbro remaking it.
A sort of dedicated giant body that could be used for other large characters like Atlas could be good.
Sorry, but that is the least iconic of Bill Foster's costumes - it just is. This one is so much better:
And of course... this one is the BEST!!!
Yes to the Fin. There are higher priorities on the Golden Age wishlist but he's definitely on the list. I'd be happy to get him.
And HUGE yes to Bill Foster! I'm with @panthercult, give me all the versions in all the sizes. A re-do of the Gigantic Battles figure would be okay since that figure was kinda wonky, but I wouldn't want that before his classic Black Goliath/Giant-Man costumes. And yes I'd like the lab coat civilian look too. Super underrated character.
I had to look Brynocki. This character eluded me. That said, he’s not a pressing need for me to have in plastic. He reminds me of the Big Boy mascot. I could be fine if he never got made.
Devos the Devastator, on the other hand, would be a sure purchase for me. Cosmic baddie: check. FF villain: check. Gimmie!
I wasn't aware Brynocki had other appearances outside of the Master of Kung Fu series. The Arcade panels he's in do make sense though. Even as a Doug Moench character, I don't need him as an ML.
Devos looks interesting enough though to be an ML
Hard pass on Brynocki - less than zero interest in that.
I would take a Devos though. Just a fun, big armor. Doesn't even really need a lot of context. Just would make a cool action figure.
