While most of the costumes we have aren't anachronistic to that story, we also have most of the villains sans Blackout, Mr Hyde, Power Man/Goliath, the Fixer, and Titania. You could also throw in Grey Gargoyle, Screaming Mimi, and Paladin (on the hero side).

I hope we get all of those eventually, though it will be Songbird not Screaming Mimi of course, and Paladin is rumored on a rumored list/wishlist/ - ironically he'd be the one I'd want least out of all of these. Fixer and Titania would be must buys.

I want a figure of solo and coldblood. Both are highly underutilized by marvel.

Captain Nash · 05-11-2017, 12:58 PM

My comment about Avengers and complete lines up got me to thinking about the X-Men and their lines ups. I believe if you substitute the variant Warpath for Thunderbird, we have all of the lines up for the Uncanny X-Men all the way through the Blue and Gold era. That of course would include both Toybiz and Hasbro, would not take into account costumes (and the Psylocke body switch), and includes only Uncanny X-Men proper, not any shoot off teams, but that's actually pretty amazing.

Of course, we need a ton of redos from Toybiz to Hasbro. SO there's still a bunch of stuff Hasbro needs to do.

My musts are: Mr Hyde (now Hasbro! please?), Titania (c'mon Hasbro! pretty please?!), Songbird/Mimi, Atlas/Goliath, and Techno/Fixer. T-bolts heavy...

Oh don't get me started on the classic Thunderbolts. They're right up there with New Mutants and Alpha Flight for mostly entire groups that need to be made.

You are welcome to her.

. (confession: I'd buy a Sage figure) But if we're going to include retcons we do have to include the Vulcan/Darwin/Petra/Sway group from Deadly Genesis. (another confession: I would buy all these too, but especially Vulcan.) I don't see any of those being made except maybe Vulcan, but you never know with Sage. She may turn up one day.

Double up that "especially" on Vulcan, but make mine Emperor Vulcan!

Un-botox those lips and give Elsa an angry and frigid expression. She doesn't need full lips to be 'hawt'...I likes my women angry and strong (and smart)! My ex is an aerobics director whom I pissed off mightily because she was so sexy when she was mad...joking...I'm a nice dude...most of the time!

I'm usually not up for non-superhero/villain figures but I agree. Like Mary Jane was for Spider-man she is an important part of X-men lore. I guess you could make her fairly easy in her current incarnation though.

And yeah, advice to the ladies, don't date a Summers brother, they either end up being a son-leavin', wife-cheatin' ex-girlfriend obsessed SOB or a power hungry revolutionist/emperor-wanna-be.

When Alex is the best of the bunch you've got a problem.

You mean GABE. I mean c'mon...they only way he would be even better in my book is if it were spiral he was banging, but deathbird is just as good....well kinda.

and he wasnt a wanna be....he WAS the emperor...however briefly.

With this set coming I am 2 figures closer to getting all the Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E cast.

If we ever get a Vulcan figure you can make that diorama.

I'm actually thinking of trying to modify a Sentry into him (because i hate Sentry yet I have one. and If i ever want another I'm sure all I have to do it walk out my door blindly and I'll run into one within 20 minutes.)

At least we can agree that Scott doesn't have the ideal marital history. More drama in that family that the Kardashians.

So we will have a Machine Man, Monica, Elsa....I know Boomer/Boom-Boom/Meltdown was in it but I can't remember the other one? Was it US Agent?

Also, I am honored to have inspired your avatar and sig choice. Rocket is so fitting for you now that I think about it.

Darkhawk is easily still my favorite thus far.
