Sasquatch Variant

[eleavitt]

I got the variant white Sasquatch today for the Apocalypse arm and hose and because the figure just looked so cool. Anyway, I know who the Alpha/Omega Flight (brown) Sasquatch is but what is the comic story behind the variant white one?

[Hyperion]

2 stories that I know of:

 

1) Sasquatch was found out to be some kind of demigod, Snowbird transformed into the White version and killed him. Alpha Flight then decided they wanted to save Walters soul (Sasquatch) so they placed him the character known as Box for awhile, then in the White snowbird body unitl he was reunited into his old body.

 

2) it was the version seen in the eXiles comic books, which was not Walter Langkowski, but rasther Heather Hudson.

Sounds good to me

i believe it's the snowbird version

[Hyperion]

I would be inclined to believe it was actually the Exiles version. At the time it came out, Exiles was fast becoming very popular. The roster at the time was:

 

Blink

White Sasquatch (Heather Hudson replaced Tbird after the losing fight with Galactus) issue #10

Nocturne (daughter of Nightcrawler & Scarlet Witch)

Morph

Thunder Bird (Put in a coma fighting Galactus)

Sunfire (female)

Mimic

Spiderman 2099 soon after

Sabretooth AOA version

 

So when ML released AOA Sabretooth, then the White Sasquatch followed by 2099 Spiderman, I think they were in the process of duplicating some or eventually all of the initial Exiles team. Just my opinion though.

From the toyfair artical I remember,it's supposed to be the snowbird version,but so many fans actually wanted it for the wendigo due to its similar look.
