Day #1282 - Pink Pearl, plus Blackjack O'Hare (Archive Day #543)

Pink Pearl

Blackjack O'Hare

I'd buy both if made, but neither is a priority for me to want made. 

I'd get both. Pink Pearl would make a great BAF or Deluxe.

While neither is pressing, they could be fun.  Pearl could share parts with a Big Bertha figure, which I want more.  
Blackjack would be some cool fun.  
so, why not?  Bring them on.

I'd get Pink Pearl if she was a pre-tool gateway to Big Bertha. 

Blackjack I'd likely pass on, unless he's offered as an accessory with another figure, or comes with a BaF part I wanted.

So I definitely love me some classic Alpha Flight.    And it's not that I'd mind a Pink Pearl figure -  I wouldn't.   She isn't exactly a top line adversary, but if the figure got made I'd probably buy it.       That being said, it would be a travesty if she got made BEFORE Big Bertha.      Bertha is part of the Great Lakes Avengers and I need all of those in my collection eventually.     Now,  if they made a Big Bertha figure -  then down the line to get more money out of that tooling issued a Pink Pearl -  I have to say I'd buy both.      My collection has room for two rotund giantesses.

As for Blackjack O'Hare...   no familiarity with the character.   It appears he showed up in Guardians of the Galaxy -  which isn't that surprising and is clearly a riff on the Bucky O'Hare character.     I'll say it isn't a character I need in my collection but if Hasbro decided to make him,  I'd buy him.    It's a fun looking figure -  though I would hope they would maybe pack him in with something oversized as a two pack so I didn't feel like I had to pay full freight for such a tiny figure  (looks grumpily in What If Howard the Duck's direction)

Double pass today.

Pink Pearl being associated with Alpha Flight is tempting, but not enough to warrant a buy.

Blackjack O'Hare is good, but not a character I want, or need, a figure of in my collection.

This here.

I'd get both but wouldn't lose any sleep if they were never made. 

Day #1283 - Saturday Spotlight on Zodiac (Archive Day #542 and was one of jmoney's Guest Star choices)

Although I like to think I take copious notes, I have no idea if jmoney meant any of the Zodiac cartel groups or the Dark Reign villain.

So here are a lot of them!

Zodiac I

Zodiac II

Zodiac III

Zodiac IV

Zodiac V

Zodiac

I’d hesitate to commit to a Zodiac team, given Hasbro’s track record for (not) completing teams.  I’d be concerned they’d release a few, and then we’d never see the rest.  We’re still barely into the Serpent Society, and they’re much more of a priority to me than any of the Zodiacs.  It’s not that I wouldn’t want them done, it’s just I have no faith in Hasbro completing one full roster, or even producing members from the same line ups.  We could end up with an Amalgamation of the various teams, and not one complete one, if they even finished all twelve members.  I guess I’m going to say pass, though it would be nice if Hasbro would prove me wrong.  

Definite yes for the Zodiac 1 team.   Most likely yes for the Zodiac 2 team.  Then maybe on Zodiac 5 team.  Pass on the other teams and definite pass on the terrible hooded single character Zodiac.

As appealing as the classic original Zodiac members would be to have, I've got to second @detectivehoag in saying I'd much rather they commit those spaces and resources to the Serpent Society first. 

All of them would be cool to get.

I have interest in these, but more so if several came out together at once. I wouldn't really just want one here or there. A box set or multiple box sets would be preferred.
