Re: One a Day - Day 533: Dakota North

I'd likely pick up a Dakota figure, as long as it was done in one of the classic looks that would help to differentiate her from a generic civilian. Such as one of her ultra-'80s outfits as PantherCult suggested. The character definitely can come across as too ordinary-person looking, especially in some of the newer looks, or too Black Widow-y, but there are some options there.

I’d be okay with Dakota, preferably in her handbook entry appearance, as that was her most distinctive look.

Dakota North? I could have sworn she was a pick earlier in the thread. I'd get her because of her appearance in Brubaker's Daredevil run.

The only way I would be interested in a character like this is if she got a 90s makeover in a suit of armor. Easy pass even on clearance.

Would happily buy Dakota North even though I've only read her a handful of times. Seems like they could get away with making a comic Jessica Jones and packing in a different jacket and head - I'd buy two!

I would only consider her if she was on clearance.

As others have said I might get her if she looked super over-the-top 80s. This is the image I always picture of Dakota North, where she kinda looks like George Michael’s girlfriend in the “Father Figure” video or the lead singer from Swing Out Sister. She and 80s Dazzler can start a duo!

Yeah the issue #1 cover could just be Black Widow.... the rest of the looks are pretty "generic civilian lady" - there isn't really a ton that makes her stand out or pop as a hero so she would just look like a random bystander in my figure display. I have nothing against the character - she just wouldn't make a very dynamic or interesting action figure.

Now if they made her with that ridiculously 80's jacket with the mega-shoulders and those crazy boots shown in the Marvel Universe entry.... maybe
Hey!!!

Get outta my head and stop stealing my thoughts!!!! :D

You hit all my points about Dakota North, pretty much word for word, so...........ditto.

(Sometimes you just have to lean in hard on 80s looks)

I do recall the character but probably not interested.

I would be down for a figure of Fargo North, Decoder.

Happy Almost April Fool's Day!
The plan was to feature today's character on actual April Fool's Day, but that falls on Guest Star Saturday. And trust me: tomorrow's Guest Star double header is certainly worthy of April Fool's Day! So, stay tuned tomorrow for more fun hijinks!

But for today, here's the character I should have featured last year but totally forgot...

Day 534 - Slapstick

I'd like to see him made. Would obviously need a unique sculpt.
