I'd get them all. 🙂
I'd like the Mantra with the dark hair to add to an Asgardian display.
The rest would be a pass.
I’m absolutely all-in for Ultraverse characters. And as far as my preferred Mantra, I’d like her first costume.
Pass on Coldblood and those Aunt May incarnations, but if they included a separate pack-in head of Golden Oldie for the Nova body, that’d be a riot.
Cold Blood's look could make for fun figure if it doesn't come out too monotone.
Manta. While I dig some of the Ultraverse characters, she is not one of them. Pass
Coldblood. Another "I don't know who that is" character. The look seems a bit uninspired to me, more of a "hey it's the 90s let's just rip off Terminator 2. Pass
Aunt May 3 pack. YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP!!!! Like I said, give me pretty much any and all What If? (Vol. 1 & 2) comic characters. I do admit that I forgot about this earlier version of Golden Oldie, but I'm good with two versions of Golden Oldie!!
Keep up the great work DetectiveHoag.
Night Raven looks way too cool to pass up.
He’s got quite the interesting backstory. If you’re interested, check it out.
Thanks for the background info! I have never heard of Night Raven, but he does have a cool look and a great backstory. I’d get a figure of him.
Hey there. Hi there. Ho there.
today we’re going be hitting some A-listers, although it’s not in the way you may immediately think of them. First up:
an ancient sorceress remakes the world as she wants, including its greatest heroes.
”Brave Old World” Avengers
toss a coin to your Avenger…
Next, a mighty mutant’s concerns about his big decision to join a team is exploited by a sociopath. Here is:
Proletarian
I'd get an Avengers set, although it's funny that Thor's costume doesn't really change.
That era of Avengers can stay on the fire for all I care. Ugh to the story, and Ugh to most of the designs. Going whole hog on them as Knights should be a good thing, but most of those designs do nothing for me. Maybe on an Iron Man.
Proletarian is hilarious, when I know they weren't really trying to be at the time. I like the look, but not enough to pay full price for this variant of Colossus. Also I doubt in the current climate we would ever see such a blatant Russio-Communist look for a character.
Appreciate the effort dectectivehoag. But I gotta pass on all of them. Not paying Hasbro prices for these.
The entire Heroes Return Avengers run is awesome, and any excuse to get every single Avenger together makes a fun story. I'm not super into the medieval/fantasy aesthetic necessarily, but there's no denying they'd make cool figures. If it ever did happen I'd be in.
I'll also buy any and every Colossus they make, because he's the best. So obviously absolutely yes to super-stereotypical commie villain Colossus.
Yes to Iron Man as a knight!
I’d likely get any of those Avengers designs they care to make because I adore the Busiek/Perez run as a whole.
And heck yes to Proletarian. Colossus is my favorite X-Man so I’d take that in a heartbeat. But like has been stated above, I doubt those on the Right would take such a character on the shelves well, screaming about Hasbro’s agenda to brainwash all the kids into communism.
I admit though that the costume I really want to see him in remains the Tom Grummett-designed look he sported as a member of the Winter Guard from X-Men Forever #11-15.
Goooooood Moooorning Fwooooooshers!
(okay morning for me)
anywho, today I present for you:
Force (the cosmic team of ne’r do wells)
for those keeping score at home, from left to right that’s
Brahl, Photon, Broadside, Scanner (back), Eightyfive (front), Tachyon, Interface
back on Earth our second entry is
Adam 2 (and “friends”)
Oh man, talk about a trip down memory lane. I had completely forgot about Force, but they were during my heavy reading days and right there in the cosmic part of Marvel. So as much as I think most of them are either derivative, or just plain bland, I would be in for a box set of them.
I have no idea who Adam 2 is and his design does nothing for me. Pass.
