thereasonsy Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Since the team at Collect DST needs anniversary reminders. 1980 brought us this pivotal tale for the X-Men. Who would you pick for a wave honouring this occasion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 As a big sucker for nostalgia waves I would do a wave that semi honours this release and since we just got the Giant Sized team and it's also the anniversary of Proteus I would honor both with: I'd have a build a figure Lilandra with the below pairings: Dark Phoenix with Gladiator Corsair with Warstar Fang Wolverine (a head for real fang and a chest block for Laura ) with Original Multiple Man Chod with Proteus. Being that the next year is DOFP's 40th I would hope before then for another line to fill in more gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I actually went to buy a dark Phoenix mate 3 days ago and realized there's only one red costume Jean. I definitely want a new update Edited October 21, 2019 by Heinous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I doubt we see anything, but The Dark Phoenix Saga is my all-time favourite story in comics, so I'd love a wave for it. Plus, Dark Phoenix really needs a redo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I could see this box set happening and it disappointing almost everyone. A Dark Phoenix, a Byrne Cyclops, A Lliandra, and probably a Wolverine (maybe as fang, but probably not). Hopes and dreams for the Starjammers, the Imperial Guard, and the rest would be dashed quickly and mercilessly. Personally, I can do without even if my Dark Phoenix is looking a little long in the tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I’d like a new Dark Phoenix since the old one looks... like hot garbage honestly. I have no desire for any of the X-Men cosmic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the bad taste of Dark Phoenix the movie means that Collect DST will support the original. 6 hours ago, funkguerilla said: I could see this box set happening and it disappointing almost everyone.

As for Wolverine as Fang - we have seen him in toy form before but we did get this: After all Cockrum had intended for Logan to keep the Fang costume. 5 hours ago, Trekker 42 said: I’d like a new Dark Phoenix since the old one looks... like hot garbage honestly.

BuffaloDelorean Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The Starjammers and Imperial Guard are fun Cockrum designs, but I've never really found them interesting as characters. For a box set, I'd go with: Dark Phoenix redo Battle damaged Cyclops (with optic blast) White Queen Emma Frost redo Lilandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 that would be pretty cool... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Wait, was Fang in Dark Phoenix? I thought that costume switch happened much earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fang first appeared in (Uncanny) X-Men 107 and was part of the saga of the Phoenix over all as he was part of the forces that fought during the M'kraan Crystal debacle that showed off the Phoenix's ability. He wasn't on panel for the fight on the moon (allegedly Byrne hated the character) but from a back story perspective it was because he joined forces with Deathbird. My intent in selection was honouring the whole Phoenix storyline 101-137 as it's all turning 40 and also the Toybiz line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yeah, as far as I remember Fang Wolverine (and the Starjammers) are only in "The Phoenix Saga", which was more the setup for Dark Phoenix than part of it. 10 hours ago, DSTZach said: that would be pretty cool... ? This sounds promising. There's a lot I'd like to see from this story, but I'd be happy just to get a new Dark Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyTrev Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 If we got a series dedicated to the DARK PHOENIX story, it would be populated with Hellfire Club members, rather than Shi'ar aliens. Something I know that more than a few of us wouldn't be opposed to. That said, I propose that this anniversary pulls DOUBLE DUTY and we get two waves out of it. One for the Phoenix proper and one for Dark Phoenix. Wave 1: The Phoenix Saga The Phoenix / Lilandra Gladiator / Wolverine as Fang The Juggernaut / Black Tom Cassidy BaF: Erik the Red Wave 2: The Dark Phoenix Saga Dark Phoenix / Battle-Damaged Cyclops Battle-Damaged Wolverine / Hellfire Club Goon (opening the doors for a similar Luke exclusive akin to Multiple Man) Sebastian Shaw / White Queen BaF: Jason Wyngarde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
