Mnemosis Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Also, Zero. I drew circles on my Toy biz Silver surfer with black marker to simulate this character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Has the Spot ever had a figure? I was first introduced to him from the 90's series and thought he was a pretty cool villain. I think he'd make a great minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of the line KB Toys had quite a few simple repaints under the "Marvel Universe" banner but many of them didn't have 5" counterparts. Spot was one of them, I believe he was just a repainted Silver Surfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I would definitely buy Speedball, Namorita and Night Thrasher since I love the New Warriors. Justice Vance Astro has never been made either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotter Comics Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I realize that there are still some important holes in the action figure universe, but it occurred to me last night how deep we had to go in the Marvel universe to find characters who hadn't been made. For someone who grew up in the 80s, this is actually amazing. Super hero toys for me were relegated a few of the later model Mego pocket heroes left on the pegs in Toys R Us, then eventually Secret Wars and Super Powers. While those were amazing, they offered a fairly limited variety of characters, especially Marvel. I still remember using a visored Star Wars figure as a stand in for Cyclops as a kid. We had a lot of other amazing action figures back then, but not so much from the comic books. So when I realize the other side of this thread, the sheer number of characters who have been made in one form or another over the years, I'm actually pretty impressed.

Mnemosis Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I used to use Apocalypse in lieu of Pyro because I never heard of Apocalypse but Pyro was in Pryde of the X-Men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Also, a de-tentacled Doc Ock was Toad. Probably my first ever custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I had tons of GI Joe and Star Wars guys that subbed for superheroes. Can't remember any of them now, but I do know that my first customs were the Super Powers Aquaman I repainted as Booster Gold, and the Secret Wars Wolverine I repainted as Hawkeye.

I did the same thing! And then I saw this And went crazy tracking down these PVC toys. LOL maybe it is why I can't stand the minimate X-Factor Jean since the hair isn't big enough and the costume isn't red. I would play that they were scattered through the universe and as I found them the other characters found each other. That and I made paper dolls of the characters.

Mystery Man Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 On 10/20/2016 at 11:12 AM, youbastards said: Sure, post it and I'll give a listen. 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: Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandoes had always been a very nostalgic book for me. I customized the whole crew as mates awhile back but I would dearly love a real release. Clea too!

I am actually surprised we didn't get a box set yet of the Commandos for the 75 anniversary of WW2 or in 2020 for the anniversary of the end of the war.

That's the name of the game though is to pick a character no matter how obscure he or she is. ok so my pick is Turbo/Torpedo who was also a a New Warrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
