Surfer fan here. Like Pulse, he’s my favorite hero.

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 a Surfer-empowered Alicia Masters. And Stardust has been portrayed as male, female, and ambiguous/fluid throughout interpretations.

Oh, and comic Attuma of course. Definitely a huge want.

All fantastic points. Just look at the source material and make a cool movie. One which actual fans of the character and lore WANT to see. Honestly, I'd rather have a new animated show anyway. Get Studio Mir to helm it. That could be incredible.

The only times we've gotten to see Surfer on screen is the old animated show (Thanos' voice. Shudder bad.) and the other FF turd in which Galactus was a swarm of space bugs or some shit. I thought Surfer looked cool. But he just wasn't right. The whole, "gonna die is separated from mah board" spin was weak.

Anyhow. If the new FF movie results in some great Legends comics wave figures I'll be happy. We still need an Air Walker. I thought for sure we'd get one in the wake of Galactus. I'd also like to have Red Shift. There's also a ton of untapped Cosmic characters from the Ron Lim/Jim Starlin days that would be great additions. You're telling me we can The Orb but not The In-Betweener Midnight Son, or The Elders of The Universe.

The ML DID give us Crystar. So they give me hope. ML Team if you are reading this thread please give us Moltar to go with Crys. Cast him in translucent red then hit him with orange over spray.:D

At this point with F4 comic related figures I'd be happy with Wizard, Crystal and Maximus the Mad. I know those could all go under more general waves, except maybe Wizard. They just gotta find a way to get him in the line, same for Crystal. I don't have realistic hopes for Maximus

Oh, and comic Attuma of course. Definitely a huge want.

Quick question, are there any work arounds to get characters like Mandarin and Mephisto made into Marvel Legends? Not to mention Red Skull in the same uniform as the toybiz figure.

We almost got Mephisto in the Hellcharger HasLab, but since it didn't fund, no dice. I don't know why they can't sell him really, Diamond Select did. I don't know what the work around would be. Online exclusive? I'd love a Mandarin figure. Hell, do the animated look where he was like half dragon.

They could just release mephisto as a deluxe figure. I mean if mcfarlane can release a demon with a damn pentagram carved on his chest at both walmart AND target ( in the normal toy aisles no less ) then hasbro can release a damn mephisto.

Mephisto's image is an allegory for the devil. If you've noticed, many Christians are currently rampaging claiming persecution while simultaneously dissolving body sovereignty for women across the country. I can't say for sure what Hasbro's motivation is, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were reading the room...
