Let's have some fun.

Add your own character!

I'll start: Which body/buck would you put Titania on?

She-Hulk (Iron Man Retro wave)?

Power Princess?

Something else?

Create a new body?

She-Hulk for sure. Skeeter should be able to stand right up to Jen.

I would go She Hulk. She's her toe to toe arch enemy.

I have one. How about FA Kitty Pryde. Valeria? With maybe a new chest piece?

The Wrecking Crew: would you put them all on the same basic body?

If so, which one?

Love this idea for a thread! And agree that the new Shulkie body is (with some additional parts of course) ideal for Titania. It's a fantastic buck and gives me hope they reuse the heck out of it for characters like her soon. 

Speaking of Titania, are we due for a new absorbing man on one of the newer bodies? Maybe there's some Luke Cage parts reuse for his lower body combined with the new Vulcan upper body? (Just throwing out ideas now.) 

FA Kitty - man, there really isn't a modern buck that works, is there. Is it time for a new teen buck, an upgrade to the first Spider-Gwen? (I really liked those figures - Gwen, Ultimate Spidey, the original Miles, but might be time for a newer version.) Throw the OTHER Sprite, from the Eternals, on the same body, maybe.

I like the thread...  but docsilence's post is kind of cracking me up.    Advocating for a Titania on the She Hulk body - which is big and tall - and then advocating for her boyfriend Creel using parts that would make him smaller than her?     That would be weird and wrong.    He is never, ever depicted as smaller than her.   Like, sure she's big - but in every image I can find of them together he is always shown as at least as big as her and often bigger.     

 

Though I guess by MU/RPG stats she's canonically supposed to be 6 foot 6 and he's 6 foot 4 or 6 foot 5 (depending on your source) -  but that's not how they're drawn

I think that either Volcana, or classic Valkyrie could work on the She-Hulk buck. 🙂

Maybe an Omega Red body sculpt.

I think the Omega Red body is probably right for the Wrecking Crew. Certainly no bigger than the Puff Adder BAF though I'm not really sure how different those 2 bodies are. I don't have Omega Red.  Wrecker clearly needs his own body and should be around Thor's size or maybe a tiny bit bigger.

She-Hulk body is too big for classic Valkyrie. She's not 6'8" but is over 6'. Power Princess seems the right call for her. Volcana ideally would be on a body her own. Shorter than SheHulk but thicker. Probably textured. She'd prob need to be a BAF or a multi figure pack with a figure tax on it.

@panthercult FWIW, I might have been thinking of the wrong Luke Cage - the one I have on my shelf looks like his scaled about two inches taller than the new She-Hulk. Which, honestly, might be too big for Luke. I have the one from the Amazon Defenders set on the shelf right now. He's BIG.

I don’t have the new She-Hulk yet, but I definitely want a figure of comic Titania! Really need a new Absorbing Man. And I agree that he should be bigger and taller than  Titania  

The Wrecking Crew should be big and imposing. Big as or bigger than Thor. The new Hyperion body or Hercules bodies at least. Maybe Omega Red body.

I don't know the Luke Cage you speak of but she is a good bit taller than the new classic version. As she should be. She is a bit taller than 80th Thor; also as she should be.

Wrecking Crew on the Hercules sized body would be perfect for me. Same for Absorbing Man.

I can go with that, as long as Absorbing Man is in his classic purple pants like the Build-A-Figure.

The Wrecking Crew are not the same size. They have been made before on the same body but they should not have been. There are variations in their height and weight (thickness). 

6'6" 325 lb Thunderball: Use Captain Britain/Thor Odinson body (new wider torso would be better)

6'4" 310 lb Piledriver: Use Hercules/New Hyperion body

6'4" 310 lb. Bulldozer: Use Hercules/New Hyperion body

6'3" 320 lb Wrecker:  Needs a full resculpt. Thick n wide torso. Could use parts of Modern Hercules pants, but the thighs would be thin. So a full resculpt is best, a tad shorter than Hercules.

Part of the problem is that they made 80th Anniversary Thor a bit too tall. So most of the bodies appropriate to use for the Crew (in relation to the characters that have come out already) are a little small next to the newest and best Thor. Because of that, they can shift up Thunderball to the 80th Thor w/alterations. And Piledriver and Bulldozer can shift up to the Captain Britain body. Wrecker will have to be a new sculpt in any size since there's nobody I can think of with a jacket/jumpsuit texture at that bulky size.

Absorbing Man looks great with the Hercules body. I made a custom of him with that body.
