The outfits for both characters are the looks I remember from the early Impel/Fleer Marvel trading cards from my childhood, so getting these two figures is a dream come true for me. I just hope that not only will I be able to see more classic comic figures for favorite characters of mine later this year, but that I'll be able to afford them as well.

@Veronica Mars - Congratulations on the new figures! Your collection looks great! I have the "X-Men '97" Magneto and he's a great figure. Where did you get your flight stand for him, if you don't mind me asking?

I hope that you all have a marvelous weekend and stay safe, everyone.

I mean he’s correct. There’s usually contractual things with other outlets that tend to be involved when it comes to new MCU figures. That’s why most of the time new releases tend to get dropped by sites like Entertainment Weekly or IGN instead of the livestreams or social media.

well we got the Deadpool and Wolverine Trailer today. Dan Yun told us patience is the key regarding these movies figures.

It's like bro we MCU collectors haven't had any new figures to get excited for since the NWH figures came out in November how much more patience do you want us to have?

That figure was fine for the time but desperately needs updating with pinless joints and ditching that ugly waist cut swivel. The body should be less beefy as well most of the artwork depicts him as lean and shredded.

I mean Earth X is absolutely a thing and it makes sense considering that FF is apparently going to be largely a period piece and the MCU has been delving hard into the multiverse concept since Multiverse of Madness.

Even the Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine is a multiverse variant and not the same guy from the Fox movies.

Since you didn't pick up on my hints I'll lay it out plain simple like...Norrin Radd Silver Surfer or GTFO.

Nobody gives a shit about the Silver Surfer so him being a chick is not going to affect this movie's performance in any way aside from giving Disney brownie points from both the media and comic nerds who aren't drinking the culture war kool-aid by both adding diversity to the movie's cast and using a deep cut character from an obscure 90s comic storyline.

Win-Win.

Oh I'm sorry I meant nobody but like five people give a shit.

Surfer fan here. Like Pulse, he’s my favorite hero. And while the restock of the Walmart fig that I already have 3 of (along with 3 Surfer blacks – and 4 Halab versions) might be sold-out for a variety of reasons (i.e. scarcity of the original exclusive, under-appreciation of the character’s popularity, etc) it is sold-out, nonetheless. As it was when it was first released indicating there's interest out there. I tend to believe that there are potentially at least as many fans of Surfer as there are of the FF. He did support his own book, which I - obviously – collected, as a committed fan. A title that birthed the Infinity Gauntlet, the comic arc that essentially set up the crescendo of the MCU’s phase ‘whatever.’ I say “whatever” because I became disinvested in the MCU very, very early on. Possibly, around the time of Thor 2, so what they do doesn’t really matter in the scheme of things, to me. My disinterest doesn’t align with anything other than a want for stories consistent with canon. While I found enjoyment in ‘Age of Ultron’ it suffered in my eyes due to Tony birthing the character. The same was true for how Antman was worked out using Scott Lang as the protagonist alongside an elderly Hank. If Norrin isn’t the big screen’s latest iteration of the Silver Surfer, I’ve no intention to watch an FF film featuring such a change. Which is no big loss as I’ve skipped most of the movies.

Whatever the reasoning is behind Disney potentially putting a spin on Surfer’s characterization, there’s canonical diversity to mine among Galactus’ heralds without changing things up. There’s Frankie Raye, of course. Even and a Surfer empowered Alicia Masters. And Stardust has been portrayed as male, female, and ambiguous/fluid throughout interpretations.
