Yes to White Tiger Hector for sure.   That's a character I very much want in the collection.

 

As for the sons of the tiger -  they are not a high priority for me -  though if they actually made an Abe Brown or Lin Sun action figure I don't know that I could pass on it.    And can someone tell me please what kind of name Lutus Shinchuko is supposed to be?   It's like vaguely asian but not quite?     Lutus is very similar to Lotus -  but instead of being a pretty flower associated with asian cultures it is the latin word for MUD.   And ShinchOkis a Japanese word meaning "progress"   but ShinchUkO is a nonsense word that literally only appears in Marvel Comics featuring this character.   

Like naming the character Lotus Shinchoku would have made sense -  those are real things that would match an east asian character.    Lutus Shinchuko is just garbage nonsense.

 

The Foreigner in image 1 just looks like a Punisher rip off.   The version in image 2 looks mildly better,  though it's not something I need in my collection.    The version in the black suit and tie is boring and if I want that I can just the Fresh Monkey Fiction Blackwatch Agent for that.

 

Shiva is a yes.   Big scary robot built to kill Wolverine - and his Weapon X compatriots is a win and would look good on the shelf.   If the BAF isn't disappearing completely this is the kind of thing that would make a great BAF in an X-Men wave.

 

I don't know that I need a Clair Temple figure -  I've said it over an over in this thread but I don't have room for semi-minor non-costumed support characters.

 

Night Nurse I might pick up if done right... something like that third image of Linda Carter (really?).    She'd need to be in full Nurse uniform for it to tempt me... do not want or need the MCU figure of Christine Palmer.

I'd also likely buy them all. I do have the MCU Rosario Dawson figure in my display with comic Luke, Danny, Misty and MCU Colleen. 

I bought the hell out of that MCU Luke/Claire 2-pack when it was around $10 on Amazon. Those are some fairly useful base bodies for kitbashing and customizing, especially the Claire figure.

Okay.  None of these are pressing holes in my collection, and I probably wouldn’t miss them if they didn’t get made.  However, if Hasbro ever did get to making any of them, I’d probably consider them depending on price and execution of the figure(s).

A rare double pass for me as I'm good on both father and daughter at this point (although I'd still take a good alternate head for Theresa).

Anything that’s not generic looking, and/or has “X”s splattered all over them, which I guess rules out about 95% of these.  
Id like a Factor 3 Banshee, and a screaming head for Siryn.  After that, I’m good.

Passes. I'm happy with the Banshee and Siryn I have already. No need for anything more from either character as far as I'm concerned.

Outside of the flaming skull version I'm good.   A flaming skull almost always makes things cooler.

Banshee in his Generation X outfit and Siryn in her X-Factor Investigations outfit are the only additional versions of these characters I would buy.    We've got them in their iconic looks and Banshee in his X-Men blue and yellow as well.   I don't need a lot more and the more recent Banshee costumes are not upgrades.

Gen X Banshee in his normal uniform with the John Lennon glasses, Gen X Banshee in his Celtics (or however generic they want to make it) jacket, and AOA Banshee are the only ones I need.  If they want to make a first appearance one that's fine, but I don't dig the original pug-nose cartoony look for the character.

Siryn I just need a decent screaming head and a cape that isn't printed on only one side.  If they did the Ian Churchill version that'd be fine and I'd be set for Siryn forever.

In addition we need a more "woodsy" Black Tom to go with this new Juggernaut we're getting.

I'd take Banshee in his Gen X uniform. And if they made the Factor 3 headband version (maybe with an alternate "swept back hair" Dave Cockrum head) I'd buy that.

The only other Siryn I'd want is her first appearance Handbook costume.
