Shriker is a Danny Ketch Ghost Rider character, so if you collect Ghost rider characters, he's a must. He's Jack D'Auria, Danny's best friend.

Shriker is a pass.   Too generic looking for my tastes.

Left and Right Winger are yes.   I love me some 80s/early 90s Cap and they fit in perfectly for that theme.

So... I honestly, in my heart of hearts preferred the Wundarr look more.   Wundarr is how we first got to know him and how he appeared in his first dozen plus appearances.   I was a huge reader of Marvel Two-In-One and Wundarr was a semi Regular first showing up in issues 2 and 3 of that series and then reoccurring in that title another 10 times before he changed his name to Aquarian in MTIO 58.    But -  he was Wundarr for like less than 10 years and has been the Aquarian for nearly 40 years, so I guess it makes sense to put him in the white costume dripping with Jesus symbolism...    Regardless,  I'd buy the figure in a heart beat.   The Project Pegasus run in Marvel Two In One is still a favorite comic storyline of mine.

 

And a big yes to Gentle as well.    Preferably as he looks in those first three images -  bulky with some kind of glow in the dark paint for the tattoos would be the best.    I'd definitely buy that figure and add it to my modern X-Men display.   

 

Two big thumbs up for today.

I'd get both, especially the 80s Handbook look for Aquarian.

I'd take either (or both) the Wundarr and Handbook Aquarian looks for sure.

Pass on Gentle. No idea who that is.

Aquarian isn’t a huge want of mine, but I’d be tempted by that first image of Wundarr.

 

pass on Gentle.

That first pic of Wundarr would be sorely tempting, especially since we are talking about a 70s era costume.   However my preference would be for Jesus... oops I mean Aquarian with the beard.

No interest in Gentle.

I'd rather have Wundarr if Hasbro makes him.  He looks like a disco star (Bee Gees anyone) in the Aquarian look.

Pass on Gentle.

LOL.... Blue Streak... the roller blade guy...  It's silly and ludicrous -  a concept I hated when I first saw it and hasn't improved with age.    And imagine how much of a headache it would be getting that figure to stand properly on those roller blades.     People have a hard enough time posing figures with two flat feet.... two tiny strips to balance on would be a nightmare.   I guess they could go with the earlier design that at least had standard roller skates.   We've seen that work Dazzler and Iron Man now... still a very silly concept.

 

Ymir would be fun -  but honestly it's hard to see Hasbro investing in it.   He would need to be oversized - 10 to 12 inches at least,  but there would be little in the way of shared body parts.   Many of the other giant characters Marvel could do could reeuse one oversized figure buck -  but Ymir doesn't lend himself easily to that kind of reuse proposition and so seems less likely to get made.   Still, if he did get made I think I would buy it.

Blue Streak, in blue, would be a fun mort to get. (1st pic)
oh, and I’d get a Ferocia there too.

Ymir isn’t one I’d seek out individually, but if offered as a BAF in a (mostly) desirable wave, would be added incentive.

I'd definitely be in for both Gentile and Ymir.

Bluestreak's more modern design would be my preference, but I would be good with his classic look.  Either colour scheme (all blue, or blue and white).  While we're at it can we get that Cap with Motorcycle from the first pic?

Ymir would be a yes as well, but he would need to be Sentinel big.  I don't think 12" would be big enough.  I mean look at that great last pic.

Rare double yes today 🙂

Blue Streak is just one of those dorky, ludicrous, silly villains that would be fun on the shelf.  Assuming he could stand up 😉

Pretty much all in on Thor supporting cast or villains.  After Surtur, Ymir is high on the list of desired villains.  Gotta be classic though.
