I'd rather not have an alternate head for a figure from that long ago. And unless Morph has appeared in X-Men '92, I don't think DST has the rights to him.

CableNathan Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I like the way you guys think. All great ideas for missing classic x-related characters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 what about Moira (tho i have a pretty decent custom), Lilandra, Gladiator, Legion... all great characters we've yet to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I would absolutely love those characters I am just not sure if I would want them before the ones previously listed though. A Lilandra/Gladiator two pack could easily work. A Muir Island X-Men set for Legion and Moria could work as well. I do really like Moira's classic look but do have a soft spot for her version of the X-Costume.

BuffaloDelorean Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I could see a Shi'ar/X-Men wave, maybe: Fang Wolverine/Gladiator Shi'ar Xavier/Corsair Lilandra/Shi'ar Guard Deathbird/Shi'ar Guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinous Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Was morph from the xmen animated series ever in the comics? When I think of morph, I think of exiles morph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Animated Morph is based off of the Changeling from the 60's run. His look is even identical to how Neal Adams drew him without the headgear. The character was killed off fairly soon and wasn't used again until an alternate version showed up in Age of Apocalypse and a similar alternate alternate version showed up in Exiles. There are no rights issues whatsoever with Morph, he's a Marvel creation. The Animated Series version was created so that they would have an X-Men to kill off early on that wasn't popular. If you believe the Urban Legend they called him Morph instead of Changeling due to a rights issue but I'm not getting into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I thought he wore purple and pale blue in the 60's, and a jacket over the Jim Lee X-uniform in the animated series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 So he was basically a character created by the show. He never looked that way in the comics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) His look UNMASKED is what translated from the page to the show unchanged, which I stated "without the headgear." Neal Adams was the first to draw him unmasked which is exactly how he looked in the cartoon. He wasn't really created for the show as the character was somewhat of a blank slate for years. So the show developed a lot of his character traits which were retroactively inserted into comic canon.

Here is Changeling without his helmet on: And here's animated Morph: The faces are almost identical. Morph was definitely intended to be the Changeling. AoA Morph is the one that confuses everything but I'm pretty sure he is intended to be completely separate from animated Morph and Changeling.

bigvis497 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 AOA Morph is Changeling. They even make a reference to "that ridiculous purple headgear you used to wear" in one of the Astonishing X-Men issues. Since AOA is an alternate reality diverging from 616 at a concrete point, we can assume that they share the same history prior to Xavier getting killed. There's always the possibility that the similarities are coincidence which is why you will always see official references (not Wiki crap) refer to Changeling's real name as "presumed" Kevin Sidney.

Agreed. He was the first time I bought multiple versions of the same figure to have all of his heads used. Either way, if they had a Morph with and without a jacket with multiple heads to do his evil Morph and good Morph faces I would be overjoyed and get extra for the jackets.

BuffaloDelorean Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 AoA Morph had alternate heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 he's talking about the old toy biz figure that had a 4 interchangeable heads: normal morph, evil morph, cyclops and wolverine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 The reason it makes sense for SpA Morph to look so different is that you were in a world where mutants were now the ruling class. Why, then, would he attempt to look like a normal human? The implication is that the noseless white fleshed face is his "default" setting.
