thereasonsy Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 This thread is my fault sadly (I'm not sorry) It just ticks me off that Crystal a member of three large teams: Fantastic Four, Inhumans, Avengers that married into the X-Men has been neglected and i think that is the intent of my selection. But I will be cheating by saying it's four figures: The Power Pack. And now the why: The are connected to every franchise in the Marvel Universe. Katie connected the X-Universe to the team with her adventures with Wolverine. Alex joined the New Warriors and the Fantastic Four. Julie was in the Avengers Academy. Jack had adventures with Spider-man and was Franklin Richard's best friend. Plus since they are kids (i.e. no breasts) the figures could switch heads to designate which power each Power had since the siblings could power swap.

bigvis497 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 John Watkins III was also a Citizen V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with these two is that neither of them would warrant a figure if they didn't look just like the Zemo version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiofml Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 We have talked in different threads about eventual Mindless minimates. I´ve never seen action figures of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howling Commandos doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Marvel's first black character, dealing with racism against Japanese Americans, casualties of war...some pretty heavy stuff for the early sixties, they were really important comics. Another: That's perfectly clea . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know the Power Pack TV pilot was actually released? I thought it was an urban legend for years until I saw it on YouTube. Power Pack is a great choice, they were all over the place in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been waiting for Disney to make them into a series (cartoon or otherwise). I actually have a spec script somewhere I pitched about a decade ago.

NerdyTrev Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I think Power Pack would work as an animated feature in the same vein of Big Hero 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thereasonsy Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Adding back into the thread. I submit Husk & M from Generation X. Husk of course is Cannonball's Sister, an X-Man (dated Angel and Toad... I'll wait while you clean up the vomit...), a founder of Gen X and in the X-Corp. Not to mention she has that interesting skin rip-away power. She has appeared in X-Men: TAS and showed up as a name in X2. M is more versed as a Member of Gen X, X-Corp, The X-Men, X-Factor and is the current White Queen of the Hellfire Club. Both got worked over during the Toy Biz line and have since lingered in toy obscurity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yeah - M & Husk are both good Candidates that have strong ties to the X-Men core books (not just the sub-books). While we're on the topic of X-people never made into figures, i think that some of their classic, campy villains are very toyetic, but have been shown little/no love. Have Vanisher, Mimic or Mesmero ever been made into action figures? For That matter, have half of the classic Hellfire Club? I can't think of a Donald Pierce, Sebastian Shaw or Harry Leland toy?

Vanisher - No Mimic - No Mesmro - No Shaw - Yes (Marvel Movie Minimate) Pierce - Non Leland - Nyet Mastermind - Nope. Not to mention a couple of Reavers. Only Bone Crusher and Lady D got made which annoys me. The Shattered Star story line is still one of my favourites from the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wracking my brain trying to think if we'd ever seen a 616 Black King. I totally forgot about the movie-verse one. Skullbuster and Pretty Boy should be reasonably easy to make as customs. I might look into that this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spot Killraven There were some figures for the alternate reality mutant x book back in the day and I pretty sure Madelyne was one of them she may have even been the goblin queen, Now mutan X would be a fantastic wave of figure that only about six of us would want.

Kotter Comics Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Unless I'm missing something, the majority of the original Guardians of the Galaxy are also conspicuously absent, especially given that we now have classic Vance Astro and Yondu in the Marvel Legends 3.75" scale. Also, this may just be me, but I would love to see the comic Micronauts in action figure form. I know this is a strange one since the Micronauts emerged from a toy line and there are some parallels between the original toys and the comic lineup, but I don't think of them as being the same.

I am HERE for that. I loved that line and still read the comics from time to time. I also got the toys. 2 hours ago, Kotter Comics said: Unless I'm missing something, the majority of the original Guardians of the Galaxy are also conspicuously absent, especially given that we now have classic Vance Astro and Yondu in the Marvel Legends 3.75" scale.

hellpop Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Starjammers, Micronauts, the original Guardians of the Galaxy... all would be great. As would Power Pack. I've always thought it would make a GREAT cartoon, either as a feature or series. One of the cool things about Marvel right now is that they are realizing that there are a lot of great characters and comics that can be adapted into other media beyond just the big guns. Hopefully Walt and Weezi's kids will get a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
