Honestly -  I don't need MODAM... I thought it was silly that they made it (her?) a character and I honestly don't need a MODOK gender swap on my shelf.    I already have Toy Biz Baf MODOK, Hasbro Deluxe MODOK, Elvis MODOK...   I'm all good on giant heads in floating chairs.

 

Lei Kung the Thunderer, on the other hand I would buy up in a heartbeat.   We do not have nearly enough representatives of K'un Lun in the collection and he'd be an awesome one.    Please and thank you.

This sums it up nicely.  Ditto.

But panthercult M.O.D.A.M. is a "new" character 😛 

 

Double pass for me today.

Fair... but not a new character I want or need them to make.    There are literally hundreds of new characters I would warmly welcome to my collection.   MODAM isn't one of them.

I would love a giant brain in a jar Modam, even though she woulbe much of an action figure.

I refuse to refer to the GenX character as Hollow...  that's a stupid name.    She was penance for the decade plus of comics I knew her in.    But yes, absolutely I would love a figure of Penance for my Generation X team.

 

As for the Speedball version of Penance -  I wouldn't say no to it.   I sort of hated the concept of taking the light hearted,  goofier than Spider-Man Robbie Baldwin making him the depressed emo murderbot that they put in Osborn's Thunderbolts.     I know they blamed his personality shift on his feeling responsible for Nitro blowing up a bunch of kids -  but it was hard to take for me.     Even so,  the Robbie Penance was a major part of Osborn's Thunderbolt and I would pick up a figure of that look if it were made.

Another double pass today. I'm not into the Generation X figures/team, and I'd rather just completely forget about Robbie's whole Penance thing.

Hollow?  Who the frick is Hollow?  I just see two different Penance characters.  
These would likely be a pass for me.  Gen X never really hooked me as a title.

While I understand Robbie trying to come to terms with the guilt, and the survivors guilt, I wasn’t a big fan of the turn for the character.  It also seems to me that the New Warriors as a whole haven’t been treated well since the original title (v.1) folded, but that’s another topic.  This version would probably be a pass for me as well.

I'd take a Gen X Penance to go with the other Gen X members we already have.

Robbie's Penance would be a cool figure, and I'd likely pick it up, but as others have said I wasn't a huge fan of that character turn. Robbie being depressed and feeling guilty was certainly believable but that seemed a little over the top, just for shock value. It would be like Spider-Man being reintroduced as the Punisher after Gwen died.

Big double pass today.

Hollow (Penance) was not a character I followed and have no interest in today.

Penance (Speedball) was an absolutely terrible decision and I refuse to support anything to do with that character.

Double pass today.  Both characters are past my reading time and judging from the responses here, I'm not missing much.
