Don't need Blindfold personally.  Only "New" X-Men (should have been called "Re-New Mutants" to differentiate from Morrison's while setting up the spiritual successors to the New Mutants since that's what their books felt more like) I would want would be Elixer and Pixie.

Yet another double pass. Neither character is in my wheelhouse.

So, I must have missed the story with the Isolationist in it.    The character looks boring and unexciting but if they made it I would probably buy him.

 

Rockslide on the other hand is a figure I want very much.   He's obviously had a lot of different looks but I'd take a figure of any of him as seen in images  1,2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10 or 11.   That era of New X-Men is so woefully under represented in the collection.

No idea who Isolationist is and the look is boring.  Pass.

Rockslide would be great in a lot of those "Thing" looks (no shirt, with pants).

Classic versions of both would be cool to get. 🙂

I'd buy both, but Rockslide is still my #1 overall want from the line at this point. I never expect him to get made though because he would likely be too similar to MCU Korg... and I feel like they went with that look for MCU Korg to look less like The Thing.

I'd buy both! I'd love a comic Thena to replace my MCU Angelia Jolie figure. 

Although I will say I've been picking up some of those Angelina Jolie bodies for custom/kitbash fodder when I've found them for $3-$5 each. I think that it's an under-rated base for that purpose.

So, I loved Peter David's writing,  I loved what he did with Rick Jones, I very much enjoyed the character of Marlo in both the Hulk and Captain Marvel books.    I do not ever need a figure of Marlo.    There are far more important 'civilian' characters that I don't need, and Marlo doesn't come close.     Ahead of her in line just from the Hulk books would be Rick Jones, Betty Ross, General Thunderbolt Ross,  Major Glenn Talbot...  from that list the only ones I actually want are Rick and the General.    If I don't want Betty, I darn sure don't need Marlo.

 

Thena is a big want at this point.   Since the Sersi figure they gave us is in an Avengers jacket, she's in the Avengers display - which means the Eternals display is just Ikaris.    He needs some back up and Thena is very high on the list of Eternals I want in my collection.    Also on that list Sersi in her classic green costume, Ajak, Makkari and Gilgamesh at a minimum.   I would also buy comic versions of the other characters from the movie - Sprite, Kingo, Druig.   Also would happily buy Overmind and of course Starfox.

I wouldn’t turn down a comic Thena. Eternals aren’t my favorite part of the Marvel Universe, but there are some I’d get.

Marlo.. sure.  Particularly if Hasbro EVER gives us a Rick Jones.  
On a slight tangent, is there any civilian character they haven’t turned into a costumed one?  How long until we see a Super-JJJ?  Sheesh.

Would be a yes for a classic comic Thena.

Pass on Marlo.
