I would be down for Superia from her early days when she took on Captain America.

Korath in his MU Handbook look would be my preference.

While neither of these are pressing for my collection, I wouldn’t turn down classic versions of either of them.

Well said.  Seconded here.

I'd buy both, but of the two I'd rather have (comic) Korath.

I love Djimon Hounsou as an actor but I don't need a figure of his MCU character.

So, I don't think Steelplejack is a character I need to have.   Definitely not version 1.   That's a terrible costume with a silly gimmick.    The second Steeplejack looks better and honestly in the pictures without the silly hardhat that character wouldn't look ridiculous on a D-list villain shelf with other morts.   If they made the all green costumed version I'd probably grab it.

 

Mariko is one where I'm out on figures in civilian garb for the most part, however - since they are always looking for endless ways to release Logan/Wolverine in the line if they made a two pack of the Wedding looks in full kimonos I wouldn't mind having her.    I'll be honest, I didn't know they had turned her into a costumed character with, I'm guessing, Sunfire's powers?  I guess maybe that's an alternate earth version from Exiles...   I know she's cousins with Sunfire and half-sister to the Silver Samurai, which is also, I'm guessing why she's in that Scarlet Samurai get up as well.   At any rate, since I'm all in on X-Men if they made a Mariko figure either in her wedding attire or in her Exiles costume or as the Scarlet Samurai I'd buy it.

Yes to the Max Plumm Stepplehack.  The overall look is better, particularly with the hard hat.  Morts are always welcome for our heroes to kick around. Jack would probably be a pass.

Mariko isn’t a big want for me, though I recognize her importance to Wolvie’s character.  I wouldn’t begrudge her a figure, but I’m not yearning for one.

All would be neat, plus the more Scourge victims in toy, the merrier. 😀

Steeplejack is just classic and goofy enough that I'd love to have him. Pass on Mariko.

No interest in either of today's picks.   However give Steeplejack a power upgrade with some Asgardian magic and throw him in with the Wrecking Crew and I might bite.
