Off the top of my head I think Speed Demon and the Squadron Surpreme appeared first on the Avengers cartoon. If Whizzer were to get a Minimate, that would make the first Whizzer action figure (or probable merchandise) ever. You;re right, Speed Demon was a statue in a 2013 AA episode and appeared in full in February 2015. Whizzer showed up on USM in April 2015. So they chose to use Speed Demon for the Squadron over Whizzer, leaving Whizzer free to join SHIELD. And it looks like there are two Whizzer Heroclix, but I kind of assumed there were.

Mystery Man Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 17 hours ago, DSTZach said: I meant that must be why the SHOW went with Speed Demon for the Squadron. We have no plans to stop, so aside from us trying to be show-current, there's no reason for us NOT to make Whizzer. Ask DST! He's a classic character we've never made, and he'd be a good substitute for collectors to make the original comic Squadron, if a bit aged.  Sometimes I worry that I've become the crank that always writes in asking for more classic comic stuff and probably gets some eye rolls around the office and then ignored... ? Not a knock against you guys... I just fret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw man, I always forget about Heroclix. A Whizzer Minimate would definitely be the first Whizzer action figure. But it has to be done before Funco see all this Whizzer love and makes a Pop! of him.

Not a knock against you guys... I just fret. You're not alone, I'll take more classic stuff over modern costumes any day. Classic Falcon is perfect example. I know that there are good updated costumes, but I would rather have first appearance or an early updated costume first (I'm looking at you green skirt Jean Grey).

Me too! Gimme the swell original stuff that everything was built from first. Because those classics don't go away.  I bet I'm the only person ever who wants a minimate of Lord Vashti, the Elder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Speed Demon YAY! Winter Hulk was in the latest episode. Take the winter solider costume, robotic arm and all and put it on Hulk. It was...different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just fret. It's definitely not just you.  I prefer the classic stuff over the new flavor of the month gimmicks that usually end up being scrapped not soon afterwards.

MisterPL Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Same here. The classics never seem to change. If anything they generally tend to come back. The new stuff is fine but there seems to be a far greater chance that teams will never be completed because these new looks never last long enough. (All-New X-Men X-23, I'm looking at you.)

This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me wonder if all these scalpers that everybody likes to bitch and moan about are more a fiction of mathematics then reality. It really only takes a few collectors in an area ( or maybe even the odd fan of Nighthawk or the unusual kid who thinks he might look cool with his hulk figure or heaven forbid someone helping out fellow collectors) and an area quickly becomes picked dry by "scalpers".

I meant 69, since 68 is largely already-made characters (and yes, looks). Just pointing out that we don't just roll our eyes at requests for classic characters and ignore them. We take them to heart. BUt the new characters and looks are also exciting. Scarlet Spider wants Whizzer AND Kamala Khan, which I think runs the gamut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
