There has been a severe lack of the Hellfire Club's presence in all the Marvel offerings. Sebastian Shaw here has always been a major player as a villain, and the lack of an action figure needs to be rectified right now.

[Alyosha]

As a two fer, Donald Pierce was a threat with the Hellfire Club (see previous posting) and the Reavers. Working along side Spiral, they have managed to almost take out Wolverine, Longshot and a few of the other X Men. Plus he created Elsie-Dee and Albert, FTW.

Give him some swappable cyborg-ey parts to make the toy interesting.

[Alyosha]

Ah, the female Dire Wraith. Such a repulsive looking toy, and yet it almost made it into the Marvel Legends line. This ROM and X Men villain could be army built, because aliens....yeah, they all look alike.

[Alyosha]

Oh, how did you get here, you self-promoting slut you...:

[Alyosha]

Every fan-boy wants that one toy to make it to the shelf that probably is too naughty looking to have made it there, and the Goblin Queen would be just about right for that. mystical Jean Gray clone and N'astrith not included.

[Alyosha]

Not that well known to most regular Marvel fans, Pete Wisdom is the chain-smoking Brit Intelligence agent who was a love interest to Kitty Pryde and could shoot "hot knives" (whatever those are) from his fingers. Still, it might make for an interesting toy to go along with all the other spandex guys, and if nothing else customizers would get a good (but rumpled) buisness suit.

[Alyosha]

The perfect mutil-pack, Power Pack would be a great entry level superhero action figure for the kiddies. Add in that weird horse-alien they got their powers from, *BOOM*, instant collector 5 pack.

[Alyosha]

Why has their not been but one Shang-Chi figure in all of action figure-dom?!?!? This underappreciated character has ties to Power Man, Iron Fist, White Tiger, Daughter of the Dragon, SHIELD, and his father is most likely: Fu Manchu (one of the most legendary villains of all time).

[Alyosha]

For all intents and purposes, practically every Wolverine costume you could want will probably get done in this scale. However, I'd love to see this version adapted to the new line, and as a bonus you could pack it in a comic 2 pack with Ghost Rider just for grins. The purple has to go though...maybe mid gray instead or navy blue?

[Alyosha]

I almost forgot the most important ones: Since Mojo couldn't recapture Longshot, or force the X-Men to star in his deadly tv shows, he created the "X-Babies" and "Mighty 'Vengers" to ratings success. These figures almost made it as pack-ins for a Toy Biz ML wave, so dust off the molds and fire out a box set of each team for us....and maybe a Mojo and Spiral to boot!

The Brand New X-Force! Featuring...

X-23

X-23 specificly since Wolverine in his x-force duds has already been made.
The new X-Force is more or less the Modern Era X-Men's hit squad/Swat team. They are the ones Cyclops calls in unbeknownst to the others when the jobs are too dirty for the X-Men to be associated.

X-23 herself is the genetic twin of Wolverine, created from his dna, albeit altered due to the damage of the sample. She is more or less a test tube baby, bred and raised to be an assassin. While the attempts were to clone wolverine, they ended up with a far deadlier fem fatale than anticipated. She is more akin to a half sister or daughter of wolverine, having green eyes instead of wolvie's blue, and inheriting mild other traits from her mother a true clone normally would not. Wolverine now tries to give her a normal life, but to his dismay she is still solely concerned with having a mission and accomplishing it. While he attempts to give her a normal life with choices, she knows no other path than the downward spiral of a killer. She's a quite interesting character that plays on many aspects of child abuse, nature vs nurture, and psychology.

And X-Force outfit figure of hers could also have a variant without mask. Or a short hair version from the aftermath of the Legacy Virus Mission.

With X-Force wolverine already out, he feels lonesome without his fellow teammates, or at least Laura for him to keep in check.

[Snowflakian]

DarkHawk Redux.

While already mentioned, I'd love to see all his armors make it in, from his V1 to his current V4 in war of kings. Seemingly underrated for decades, he finally has a new spotlight in war of kings. So here's hoping we could start seeing several of his variants, just as tony stark's armor has been getting variants. With him having never had any figures prior, now is the time to sweep all his fans and kids alike off their feet with his amazing various armor designs. Showing that it's not only tony stark who keeps having his armor updated.

Good choice. Caliban in his Horseman form has always been one of my favorite X-villains.

[Snowflakian]

X-Nation 2099

One of the few highlights to the 2099 print. X-Nation was the Generation X of the future. Sought after by Doom 2099, one of these kids was to be the mutant messiah of the future. They were taught and protected by the Sisters of the Howling Commandments, nuns with attitude. And enjoyed many luxuries of the future, including getting drunk off milk.

Their Roster included:
Twilight
Willow
Nostromo
Clarion
December
Uproar
Caravan
MetalSmith
Wulf
And of course the Sisters of the Howling Commandments. And seriously, who doesn't want gun toughting nuns in their collection? Alongside their mutant charges.

Sadly, below is the best I could do for pictures of them after scouring the internet for weeks.

[Snowflakian]

And what would be complete about any 2099 figures without this man. The ultimate 2099 hero that ever lived!

Of course I speak of...

DOOM 2099

Flung into the future by what seemed like an accident while reed and he were fighting. Doom came to this broken latveria that was held together by corporate tyrants who ruined his once great homeland. And boy did he come back with a vengence for his people! Rallying his power to the point of even taking over America! The best Dr. Doom design to date.

Him, Apocalypse(all figures) and a few other of the toybiz X-men/X-force era are already perfect scale to Fury Files. All those molds would need is some tweaking in the arms and maybe legs for better articulation. =D

Surge

Hailing from Academy X/New X-Men, this brand new Phenominal character has electricity based powers. Having had a troubled hard life, she finally found a place to open up with her fellow mutants at the Xavier academy.


Though to be honest I'd settle for all the new X-Men in the costumes pictured below. Even another X-23 (love this outfits gaunlets)!

The "New Mutants" need a modern updated figure team as shown.

Dust for the first majorly used positive Islam role model mutant, to Pixie and her soul dagger, and as mentioned Talon with her amazing gauntlets.

The X-Men New Blood needs figures badly, as they are sweeping across the fandom getting notice, with kids and teens both being able to identify with their issues and trials growing up, how could these not be hot sellers?

[Snowflakian]

Talon

See the X-23 Bio, but this rendition is during her Xavier institute days, and when she finally learns to work with a team. Even falls for Julian, aka Hellion. I'd love to see the entire roster of New X-Men done in their New mutant style clothes, or even just their individual sub team costumes. But above all, I just want Talon in these Duds, besides her X-Force attire. Don't know why, but I just have a thing for heroines in big boots and gauntlets. Again more X-men New Blood, Talon specificly deserves the treatment because of her great back story, and bright future as an upcoming marvel heavy weight star! All of wolverine's outfits have been made at one time or another, so let's start off a new line with a new record for his genetic twin of having all her costumes done!

[Snowflakian]

The Hellions

What academy X collection would be complete without these rambunctious trouble makers. Heck, what's an X-23 figure without Hellion either? They've even been getting pop culture references in songs nowadays!

This rendition of the Hellions includes:
Hellion
Rockslide
Dust
Wither
Mercury
Tag
and of course their Mentor, Emma Frost.

This rag tag band of heroes took down the likes of the KingMaker in their own mini. And each rightfully belong with their own place in plastic eternity.

Hellion, the telekinetic Julian Keller who Laura Mckinney acts awkward around.

The ever lovinig Rockslide who loves wrasslin and along with his flying fists of doom. But just between you and me, I think he could take down the Thing too, just don't tell Ben Grimm.

Dust, the living sandstorm, and one of the best positive islamic role models in modern media.

Wither, the man who can't touch anything organic without it aging and dying.

Mercury, the girl of living metal who's madly in love with wither, and can shape her body into anything she pleases, from puddles to knives and more.

Tag with his power of making any object 'it' causing reactions of running away or towards.

And lastly, Emma "the white queen" frost. The original and still instructor and mentor for the hellions.

And this about sums up the last of my wants list, besides maybe Ghost Rider 2099, academy X's very own Pixie, Daniel Moonstar, Elixir, and Rahne Sinclair. But schucks I gotta leave a few heroes for other people still don't I?

The Hellions deserve the treatment for their newfound fame in the marvel universe, and with no other hellions having been made in the past. Why shouldn't the new blood get figures with this new line? A great cast many can identify with, having many of the most interesting and positive role models, along side some of the biggest bullies of the Academy who've matured over time, how would any collection be complete without them?

[Snowflakian]

Pixie

Everyone loves Pixie, from her Psychadelic dust attack to her new found soul dagger. Even Dr. Strange said he'd teach her someday in the mystic arts!
Her New X-Men outfit is perfect too! Forget her Academy X days with Bicycle helmet, this girl has finally grown into her own, and become a force with whom even wolverine fears! Though that could be because she makes him see unicorns and rainbows in training sessions. Include her soul dagger, and maybe a pink teleport like portal for her. and she'd be perfect for plastic crack of all genders and ages!

You've got mutant fans happy, New X-men Fans happy, and even Fae fans flocking to her figure. How could this phenominal character not be *snicker* flying off the shelves?

[Snowflakian]

Blink

Hailing from the Age of Apocalypse, this reality lost heroine needs to make her come back in plastic. While the 616 reality Blink sacrificed herself to save her friends, this version has become a mainstay for the modern Exiles, helping keep various realities in check. Having rarely if never been brought to figure-dom, this fan fave deserves her time in the sun finally.

[Snowflakian]

Ghost Rider 2099

Hailing from the Ghost Works on the cyber net. This techno occult being brought vengence to the era of 2099. Stopping drug trades, and inhumane experiments. Eventually removing corruption itself from the ghost works.

How could any collection be complete without this awe inspiring techno demon. Include a chainsaw that fits over his hand for bruce campbell reference, and translucent flames over his techno skull and robotic body. And you have one amazing Robo Ghost Rider read to take on the world and all data corruption. Having never made it to any figure line before, this version of ghost rider would go great along side a host of other occult heroes and villians, showing off that it's not just the organic that can hold magic within.

Sadly this was the best picture I could find, and this finishes off my most wanted figures list minus a few Academy X students that I'll leave for others to do if they desire them. I'm only covering my 'Must Haves'.

[Snowflakian]

Bastion

The incessant thorn in the X-men's side. This Hybrid of Master Mold and Nimrod is increasingly determined to wipe out all remaining mutants using any means he can. Even rebirthing phalanx like zombies of all the X-Men political foes of years past.
Again, another villian who's never made it to plastic before, the current Purifier leader needs a figure for all his years of X-Men antagonizing. From Zero Tolerance to of angels and demons, this man has proven time and time again to be one of the X-Men's greatest foes.



I was going to include Predator X as well, but with ROTF Ravage coming, that's close enough!

[Flint]

Hasbro has the Marvel license.... Hasbro owns Transformers...

It's about time we get CIRCUIT BREAKER!

Heck make a secret Wars II comic pack, she was in there

[trebleshot]

^THIS. A thousand times THIS!^
