As for the IG, I want.. Classic Smasher, Starbolt, Fang, Neutron, Electron, Earthquake, just to name a few. The members of the Squadron & Guard are sorely lacking as are the classic Starjammers.

I want all of the figs you mentioned, but especially so the ones highlighted.

Honestly, I do a lot of 'future-casting' when grabbing off-color/unexpected characters. I actually wanted Red Guardian, but I definitely grabbed Major Victory (Vance Astro) and Cottonmouth (please also give us Cornell Stokes) with a speculative eye down the road - not because of any deep connection to the characters, but, moreso, due to a want for the larger teams they represent.

Both Buscema bros are some of my favorite artists of all time! I know many might consider their art to be dated or simplistic, but I hold them in the highest regard as setting up a foundation for Marvel-style character looks from the silver-bronze ages and beyond.
