I imagine some of Hasbro's basic 6" Power Rangers villains might work, especially since Beast Morphers is still new enough that the villain designs aren't terribly recognizable yet.

There's also some short-lived toylines that are (roughly) 1/12 scale that you might be able to find on eBay for cheap, that are appropriately wild. Bandai's Miraculous Ladybug and Playmates' Mysticons have some interesting designs, and would definitely fit as teenagers. The only drawback is the proportions might be a little off from what you want, but you can be the judge.

Thanks again! Some of those last ones might work, but on the whole it's a little more anime than I'm thinking of. However all suggestions are appreciated!

I wish there was a 6 inch line of just generic people.

Hell ya it has. I’m afraid to buy it on eBay bc not only is it too expensive, but my luck they’ll re-release it after I do.

I'm going to wait it out and hope for a rerelease. My favorite character and the figure has some great additions but it's not worth what people are asking.

Corvus 2 pack has been on walmart.com for a while now and a local Walmart has been receiving them again. Binary Captain Marvel also popped back up on walmart.com. Just a day after I was remarking about exclusives and scarcity lol.

Thanks, Blue!...Though speaking of awesome photos and posing, definitely missing your shots. It's been far too long since we've got a taste of one of your spectacular photo ops!

Thanks! Would love to see pics when you get yours together!

The main reason was that I was going for a paint-free kitbash of existing parts. Also, I'm not a fan of the belt that's sculpted onto that lower torso. It's perfect for Typhoid Mary, but IMO it throws off the White Queen look.

...we've got a long ways to go. Hop to it, Hasbro!

*Quoting so that the Hasbro folks lurking the forums get to see it, again.

Really would love to see all of these get made in the line.

^This. She's the last female Toybiz Marvel Legend in the line that hasn't received an upgraded Hasbro counterpart. With the recent release of Skullbuster and the Reese headsculpt, she's gotta be on their radar.

Think they'll drop the rest of the New Warriors in a set like Alpha Flight?

It seems absolutely possible. Back when the AF pack was revealed I suggested that a pack featuring classic Nova, Firestar, Namorita, Speedball, and Justice would be welcome but of course since Firestar's on this list it won't happen

I feel like they'd release Firestar in a regular wave and have the NW pack be Classic Nova, Namorita(though I'd prefer Kymaera), Speedball, Marvel Boy, Silhouette and Rage, leaving me to have finally finish my Turbo custom and start on Timeslip

All I can think of is DC lines and Star Wars, neither of which I really want to use because the characters are too well known to me and would look weird mixed in with X-Men.

You might try TMNT figures, specifically 2007 to now. A lot of their enemies and side characters are mutated so you might find some that will work. Most of the figures will be about 5" tall which would work well for 6" scale students. I've included a link to the Virtual TMNT Museum below. They have pics of most of the TMNT figures ever released. Everything is divided up by series but you'll have to scroll through a lot of info to find waves that have mutated enemies or friends.

Thanks! I will definitely keep those in mind as well!

A bit off topic but I figure this will be news that many will be interested in. I was looking at the list of shows that will be on Disney+ on launch day and it looks like all of the Marvel cartoons from the 80s, 90s, and 00s will be available. If you want to see the full list of movies and shows, check out the link below.

Nice! Thank for the link. There's a lot there. I don't know if I'll subscribe right away but probably at some point I will.

[hasbroherofan]

Was already planning to get it for The Mandalorian and a few of the Marvel shows (Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight especially), but that's nice icing on the cake.

Been seeing some folks post cancellation notices from Walgreens for the over-ordered Emma Frost. Hope everyone got their orders in early!

[Trivial Psychic]

Speaking of Walgreens, I finally ran into Dani today...but not in the regular spot. Many of the Walgreens in my area are already prepping the aisles for Christmas, and sure enough, that's where she was, right next to some Pacific Rim, Hocus Pocus Pops and Gundam toys of all things. (Walgreens carries Gundams? Seriously?...) My Walgreens only had one of her on the shelf, along with an Emma and some Iron Dooms.

When you're checking your Walgreens, be sure to look for those holiday seasonal aisles. I had a similar experience with Magik last year, as she was displayed on a holiday endcap last year as opposed to with the rest of the Legends figures.

The alternate head is pretty but very bland, not unlike January Jones in First Class

Yeah, while I haven't gotten a notice yet, I did just check my order before coming here, and lo and behold, it's been cancelled.

Which sucks.

[Spyne98]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

[TheBlueMarvel]

The cancellation news is unfortunate.

That X-men illustration. At first I thought it was halfway decent, then I noticed the numerous proportional issues...

Regardless, there are quite a few figs I'd want from that line up. Most notably: Sebastian Shaw, Nimrod, Vulcan, Exodus, Ahab, a new Daken, a new Spiral, Casandra Nova, and Black Tom.

The slight outliers, but nonetheless welcome additions: Gatecrasher (I'd also love a Technet along with her..), Saturnyne (although, how you add the previous two and neglect the Fury is beyond me), Goblin Queen (I know people like her and that was my era of X-men, but I've always sort of considered the character to be a bit gimmicky), and Na'strith.

Wants that aren't pictured: Necrom, Korvus, Belasco, and S'ym.

Edit

Thanks, Red. You are too kind. For now, I've just been enjoying the photos of others.
