I agree. But want the opposite as far as body size goes. The buck they are currently using is too short. Surfer is around 6'4". I'd also like a beefier 80's style Ron Lim Silver Surfer. Use the Vulcan buck, But if possible an updated version that features the rib swivel and ab crunch (I agree the cut joint is unsightly). Drop on the May Thamtarana sculpted head from the Galactus HasLab, a new SHORT board with a contoured bottom (not a cheap POS that he can barely stand upon), a swooshing effect stand, which the back of the board plugs into and a couple new hand effects. One of which is an "I'm shooting wide Power Cosmic blasts from my hand". I'd be fine if they priced it at 35 bucks so the board and effects actually look good.

Honestly if I had a black copy of the Vulcan buck and a cast black copy of the HasLab Surfer head I would break out my airbrush and give the 3-stage chroming process a go. Then just make a board.

I'm hoping if the FF movie gets made we'll get some classic characters. Like a much needed pinless classic or neo-classic Adam Warlock. Also would really like a Midnight Son. I'm one of like 3 people that want that character. LOL

Seems like Marvel is going to run with a stupid "What If..." style story in which Shalla-Bal becomes a Herald and Norrin is relegated to backup status. If they actually go that direction I'll be inconsolably pissed.
