  1. If it *is* indeed the Inferno storyline, I can live with a regular bikini for Maddie, sans underboob. She's just been promoted in Marvel Future Flight and they're using something I'd consider 'close enough' to the source material. It bears some resemblance to the proposed HasLab version, but with a little peekaboo window for the cleavage. . 'two women, three villains, two new characters, and one micro-figure' combined with '80's X-Men story' sounds like a winning combination to me, whatever it is.
  2. I see a lot of people online blaming the Mouse literally everything they don't like about Marvel right now, but I'm wondering: as someone working within the toy industry, have you got any idea on what has created this shift/change? Is there any consideration on how different sets might be aimed at different audiences? I get that a set featuring characters in a recent animated Spider-Man film could be assumed to be for children. So - try and keep it from being too raunchy. For a box set featuring a story from the 80s- anyone who's old enough to remember those comics and costumes is in their 40s+ now, right? Maybe that set is more of an adult collectible? Was his brother good looking, though? (asking for a friend 🀣)
  3. I take some umbrage with the idea that a hint (or even hefty portion) of bosom is somehow damaging to and inappropriate for children considering the extreme violence of the subject matter at hand. Cyborg lady with needle fingers who stabs people? βœ… Fine! Dude with knife hands who severs limbs? βœ…βœ…Awesome! Future soldier with massive guns who shoots up the place? βœ…βœ…βœ… Perfect! Women with breasts? 🚨🚨🚨 all hands on deck! We need to protect the kiddies! Last time I checked, the number 1 cause of the death of children in America was firearms.... not jugs. EDIT: in case I was unclear, this is not pointed at you, Zach - I'm guess I'm kinda just shouting into the void about my frustrations.
  4. If there's a way to get a Marc Silvestri Goblin Queen, I'll be thrilled. Hasbro seem to think they aren't able to release a classic GQ in comic book stores. Even their Hasbro Pulse version was considerably tamer than how she was drawn in the original Inferno run. And now we're getting a D+ '97 animated version that's covered from head to toe, seems like there's a directive to make characters a little more prudish?
  5. New X-Men coming in 2025.... probably. Even if it's not locked in, it's good enough for to get excited and to start wishlisting. The 'obscure X-Villain' clue has me hoping we might see a member the Marauders from Mutant Massacre or perhaps S'ym/N'astirh from Inferno. What obscure 80s villain are y'all hoping to see?
  6. We love the 80s and we LOVE an obscure villain. Is this a set we're expecting this year?
  7. I clearly don't check in here often enough. Happy (very belated) Birthday, Luke.
  8. Right? That X-cutioner figure hrom Hasbro has my hopes up high that we'll see more slightly obscure villains turn up in the show and in toy form. Would be great to see a couple of Minimates sets too.
  9. Super exciting! Will you be correcting Hasbro's mistaken skin/hair tone?
  10. Just had a little brainwave: Lady Deathstrike has played both sides of the fence & she was once in the body of Ana Cortes (so not always the same person). And there are a few costume options we haven't seen as Minimates yet: X2 movie Messiah Complex era (Might have been a Humberto Ramos design?) Sugar Skull/Dia De Los Muertos (Ana Cortes)
  11. That would be a DOPE minimate! Has Omega Sentinel ever been someone other than Karima Shapandar? I feel like she's swung pretty heavily between executioner to protector and back again.
  12. Merry Crimbo, folks. Hope you all get some down time over the New Year period. Thanks for making this such a nice space to get away from the world in 2023.
  13. Can't wait to see the Life Foundation Symbiotes! They're the only non-x-men Marvel Legends I've collected. I don't know if she counts as a 'Robot', but Cylla Markham is sorely missing from *any* toy line. She's just so toyetic.
  14. Love seeing the most prolifically represented character being turned into someone a little more niche/obscure for the fans. Beautiful work as always, man.
