The only times we've gotten to see Surfer on screen is the old animated show (Thanos' voice. Shudder bad.) and the other FF turd in which Galactus was a swarm of space bugs or some shit. I thought Surfer looked cool. But he just wasn't right. The whole, "gonna die is separated from mah board" spin was weak.

Anyhow. If the new FF movie results in some great Legends comics wave figures I'll be happy. We still need an Air Walker. I thought for sure we'd get one in the wake of Galactus. I'd also like to have Red Shift. There's also a ton of untapped Cosmic characters from the Ron Lim/Jim Starlin days that would be great additions. You're telling me we can The Orb but not The In-Betweener Midnight Son, or The Elders of The Universe.

The ML DID give us Crystar. So they give me hope. ML Team if you are reading this thread please give us Moltar to go with Crys. Cast him in translucent red then hit him with orange over spray.

The gordian knot of Marvel’s licensing woes represented a genuine hurdle early on, but many characters are now back under thumb. If only Disney/Marvel hadn’t cannibalized the continuity of the books to bring them in accordance with the movies, they’d have a cleaner tapestry from which to work now that they've reacquired many of the rights they sold. 'Never fuck with the source material,' comes to mind.

As far as the toons are concerned, yeah, what a blown opportunity. Circa 2010 Earth’s Mightiest Heroes was so very well received, Hulk Vs had landed favorably, as did Planet Hulk, and there were talks of Annihilation as the next big project. Then they abandoned everything animated seemingly to avoid confusion within the MCU universe/brand building. Had they kept that energy, they might have been able to ride out this recent spate of doldrums a bit better with something reaffirming the quality of the original stories. Oh well.

And, yeah, with Firelord, Nova, and Morg, we are too deep to stop now on heralds of Galactus. Air-Walker, Red Shift, Stardust, and Tryrant (stretch, but I don't care...) feel like must haves.
