Thanks, Spyne. I knew when I was setting it up that I was going to like the outcome. I posted that years ago when she first came out, I guess you missed it.

Same as this one:

This. Just close enough to classic that they won’t understand what we’re complaining about, with an odd headsculpt and the wrong coloration on the “wings.” And whatever you just pictured as the way you’d like it least if they did the wings, that’s what they’ll do. When people ask for a rerelease, they’ll rerelease the nineties variant. They put much more thought into that one because that’s the era they actually care about. Finally, we’ll get a perfect version of Age Of Apocalypse Banshee that three people were very vocally asking for.

You made me laugh again and nod my head emphatically because this is exactly how it will go down. The hurtful bit is treating us like we are grousing for no reason, being petty, or generally too persnickety. Then turning around and offering exacting detail on the shit they know and like such as deluxe versions of AoA Apocalypse, Infinity Gauntlet Thanos, or the Venompool BAF. Not that I don't love those figures, but they function as evidence that when they 'want to' get it right they can do so with near flawless execution.

*Disclaimer for Hasbro lurkers and any Has-Defense Force individuals taking umbrage* I love Hasbro's line as I have loved the Marvel Legends brand over both decades and manufacturers. But as a fan who is invested and owns nearly everything produced (not bragging, nor establishing a sense of entitlement, just adding perspective on my fandom), I believe a healthy amount of constructive criticism is essential to keeping something that I like 'something that I like'. Some fans believe being a fan means offering no to very little critical feedback, but that's counterproductive to protracted enjoyment in my estimation.

I would be happier still with Shi’Ar Polaris, but I can’t see them making that.

I liked her also, a fact made obvious by my taking photos of the fig. However, there were some lamentations about her feeling phoned in and questions about why they chose that costume after she retailed, which is why I mentioned her in a similar light to Hood and 'Lectro. Polaris is a badass, no need to qualify why you like her. She's a boss, just not my boss! lol
