Pfft!), he's still managed to win me over with that sculpt.

As long as Hasbro keeps going up and doesn't plummet, I'd like to think we're in good hands. Interest in the brand is strong, most of the series sell well, and (at least in America) they seem to be getting better at distribution.

Now, about that Jamie Madrox box set...

I'm with you there. There are some stark examples of Toybiz figures that needed redoing: Jim Lee Rogue, for one, and of course Scarlet Witch (although I'd argue that the new Hasbro one is more of an updated classic look, rather than a straight redo of her younger, original appearance). Apart from those few, let's start asking for Polaris, for Sif and Heimdall, for Monica Rambeau and Swordsman and all of the other fantastic characters that have yet to make to "6.

You are right. I really need to "start" asking for Polaris.

Actually once/if she and Enchantress get made I don't know if I'll have anything left to say....

what am I saying, there will ALWAYS be someone I want to see made. Just not with as much sound and fury.

@TBM, I would love a Madelyne/Goblin QUeen, but she along with Selene and Morgan Le Fey I think would be too sexualized for Hasbro to make. The only way I see those three ever being done is a con exclusive. Otherwise, I think that's too much skin for Hasbro to risk. That said I would love every single of those to be made.
