We are, but I don't think we'll ever see it. In order to do it any sort of justice it would have to be a completely unique sculpt that has really no other uses. It'd have to be a BAF and the only wave I could see it fitting in with is a Dr. Strange 2 wave, and even then I feel like he's a total long shot.

This is why I wish Legends did some sort of direct to consumer deluxe line or subscription for large characters that need a bunch of unique tooling. Or hell, rent it out to NECA and let them do a "creatures of marvel" line and let em at Man-Thing, Shuma Gorath, Wendigo etc etc.

Best bet for a new man thing is prolly Select

My Target up the road actually had the new X-Men line. No Cyclops in sight though. I did see a Colossus though. I already have the Select Colossus, but the bearded option looks pretty cool. They had much of the entire line. I'm going to wait and see how the pricing shakes out online first before I buy, unless I get lucky and spot Mr. Summers.

@Tim

Thanks for the big-up, man. Nowhere near the best, but it makes me happy that you enjoy the pics! We all (to varying degrees) dig comics, toys, and pigskin!

@Red

Thanks, Red. I look forward to seeing what you do with Polaris when you nab her, your pics really flatter these female sculpts. In many ways, you've encouraged me to put more thought into my 'femme-extraordinaire' presentation. I hope you track the fig down soon!

@Kirathis

Thanks, my man.

Regarding Starlord, I like Symbi's idea a great deal. Largely because it requires minimal effort on my part, but also because of his new space-tee. He'll serve perfectly as a cosmic-punk in the background. I was fine with the previous MCU Starlord. Not being a big MCU fig-fan, I didn't mind that the old Pratt head was lacking. It actually worked out better for my swapping it over to suited bodies; its "toolish" bearing, makes for a good 'goon/bystander/crony' to get punched out by a hero/villain. While I can understand some of the frustration with Hasbro decision to reuse some Drax parts, I like the bulkier legs...I think, I haven't purchased it yet and my opinion may change after getting it in hand.

Only reason i thought that was the new mini series came out this week, and that action figure cover made me think he'd be great.

He also could possibly use the space venom body, just with alot more detail. Fur leaves etc.

I was gonna say other stuff, but I've completely forgotten all of it. Have some photos.

Maybe they could use Space Venom as a base for Man-Thing the way they used Rhino as a base for Abomination: making a new mold off the same base design, just with different surface texturing/details.

Does anyone know if the original Nova figure has the "Gummy" issue?

I don't have it, but I've heard from many that every figure in the wave did, including Nova. However, how bad it was, and how long it lasted, varied from figure to figure. I don't know how bad/longlasting it is for Nova; my only figure from that wave is Space Iron Man (who's still gummy, something that's been consistent from other people who've gotten it), but there's a good chance that it's become less gummy over time.

Really just the elbow joints on mine and it isn't nearly as bad as the Star-Lord from the same wave.

[Weapon X]

I wonder if Nova will ever appear in any of the movies. He seems like a character who could have his own movie.

How did the gumminess change over time? I heard for some of the figures in that wave that it lessened to the point of being basically like normal non-gummy plastic, but for others it's stayed basically as gummy as when it was made (like with, as mentioned before, Space Iron Man).

I don't know about that dude....if plastic's gummy, it stays gummy. My starlord never changed.

Hey, I'm just reporting what I've heard from other collectors.

Itd be nice to have rick rider in a movie of his own. Lord knows he needs one!

Or do that but release him in a general retail two pack with "Judith Chambers " with a cloth tabard ( like dragon blade or conquerer from the old spawn series ) with a belt around the waist to keep it in place and then we can finally get satana. Kinda like how they gave gamora her modesty poncho. Haha

My Nova was gummy in a really bad way on all of his joints, is constructed of soft plastic, and has a sticky feeling to the touch. Out of that wave for me, that figure had it the worst outside of Space Iron Man.

[hasbroherofan]

Nova was originally supposed to appear as part of the team in GOTG, but he was written out of the script.

Not sure how. She's great on Atlanta.

his old one is super small too- I rebuilt him on the Sasquatch body and that gave him the size he needed...

Damn that sucks. I guess I will be staying away from the figure and waiting for a hopeful future release in that style.

Really? That sucks! I didn't know that. I wish he would at least appear and help out the GOTG.

Not sure how her acting credentials are as I have never seen the show. I'm going solely off the look, and she just doesn't look the part to me.

I really liked the original rumored casting of Janelle Monae much better and was pulling for her. Monae has softer facial features and an absolutely stunning figure, which is something I have associated with Domino for a long time. She also tends to wear coordinated outfits featuring black and white A LOT, which made the role seem even more like a natural fit for her. Zazie Beetz simply just doesn't hold a candle to her in those departments.

I also felt Sofia Boutella, who played Gazelle in "Kingsman" would made an EXCELLENT Domino due to her athleticism and performance in that film, plus she was drop dead gorgeous. She may be fine actress, but the final casting of Beetz (just like Felicity Jones as Felicia Hardy in ASM2) does nothing for me simply because the character already feels off thanks to the actress simply not looking the part.

Yah. The director wasn't a fan of the character so away he went.
