James Gunn claimed he was not allowed to use Bug in the Guardians movies because Marvel doesn't actually own him, but the situation is a bit murkier than something like Rom, Godzilla or the Shogun Warriors, where they 100 percent cannot use the titular characters anymore.

Anyway, a leak is claiming the last two Retro FF figures are Psycho-Man and High Evolutionary as rumored. That's exactly who I wanted so I'll be ecstatic if this turns out legit.

I loved the Micronauts (comics and toys - I had many as a kid), but I loathe the long lasting reverberations of this messy licensing. I won't even get into Rom (it truly depresses me)...Zilla and Starvengers/Force Five were/are also very near and dear to my heart, but at least they make sense given the sheer preponderance of Japanese independent media associated.


Mark me down for High Evolutionary and Psycho-Man.
