    No doubt. Still, from the smack talking black guy with a heart of gold, the angry black woman, the super tech-savvy kung-fu master Asian, to the clueless hillbilly yokel, comics are a medium of stereotypes. It's not a perfect situation, but until writers start learning how to write again, that's the Heck we live in.

    Plus we can all think of a lot worse stereotypes.

    Probably, it would help if writers actually researched the locations or better yet get people who live there to write about that country's characters

    I figure she's got as good a chance as any other Marvel character. Maybe even slightly better with the MCU shifting focus to the cosmic arena for a bit, since Hasbro tends to play toward the movies somewhat.

    That being said, I doubt they'll call her "Nova" given all the attention Rich Ryder as been getting lately, but yeah, we could totally see a Frankie Raye figure.

    We have had two Scarlet Spider Figures, no reason we can't have 3 Nova figures

    Wow, that's a name i haven't heard in awhile.  I vaguely remember the character from the Contest of Champions mini way back when, but don't think i've seen her (?) since.

    Its a shame because she had a pretty cool design and, like Monica Rambeau, seemed to get sidelined when marvel wanted to give the moniker back to another character.  I still have a Nova figure from an older toyline that lacks articulation (except for, oddly enough, her flaming hair).. it holds up pretty well but i'm sure hasbro could do better.

    Shamrock last appeared in Fearless Defenders were she now runs an Irish Pub in New York

    I was having a convo with one of my buddies and my girlfriend about some figures we'd wish they'd release some new ones came to mind

    Gorr The God Butcher

    Shamrock

    Chthon (whom I also mentioned for a box set)

    Black Spectre

    Le Beaver

    Crater

    Warwolf (probably on an old list but still stands)

    Jenny Cesare

    Spider-Man 2211

    Jenna Cole

    Morpheus

    Manhibian (although he was def on one of my list way back, still stands would be amazing)

     

    Shamrock would be one figure I wouldn't want to see

    I tracked down the video, because I also had a hard time believing this, and it's not really what they said. It's pretty clear Dwight Stall is not excited about doing a new Banshee, but his response came across to me as "I don't want to do it, but I get that I'll have to at some point". Toad is another hotly anticipated figure who they cautioned might take a while, though they explained that the problem there was just the cost of a relatively unique, low-reusability sculpt.

    Re-usability is a big part of Hasbro, Toad I can see having problems with, but that reason wouldn't fly with Banshee.

    tHE Hasbro Marvel Legends is really the industry standard now for action figures. I've not seen anyone improve on, or really even match, what they're doing (that said you should really check out Mythic Legions; outstanding line from Four Horsemen) and you can bet if some other company picked up the series I would drop it like its hot.

    Same here, any 6 inch figure I get is compared to ML

    I'd rather they were not released in another wave, it already feels like Hasbro is running out of steam on these Endgame waves.  Maybe they could be released as fan channel exclusives, but they definitely should not be released as Target or Walmart releases.  I'd like to see a three pack of the final battle Thor, Mark 85 battle damaged with the gauntlet and a RDJ head sculpt, and a battle damaged Worthy Cap.  From there, singles or two packs would be great.

    Yeah I would prefer not to have another wave, the Bro Thor was is quite average with only two figures I am interested in.

    Well now that we got Alpha Flight, not exactly what I wanted but it'll do, how about a bad guy team?

    I want a U-Foes box set. 

    Ironclad

    X-Ray

    Vector

    Vapor

    Vapor would be the hardest to do as I'm not sure she has a physical body. They could do a Cannonball with her. An effect piece with an upper torso. Vector could be another Blizzard body repaint with maby a fer cosmetic changes to the body. X-Ray would be an easy red translucent body like Living Laser. And Ironclad as a Hulk repaint with some changes like a new head, feel and skirt piece.

    U-Foes-pics-u-foes-30435716-400-327.jpg

    The U-Foes would be a pretty interesting set

    I think that  "modern" versions last so very briefly, and Hasbro starts designing/manufacturing well in advance. How many times has Cap's outfit changed in just the last 5 years? Only to wind right back to its classic form. Or Spider-Man? Thor?? Havent seen the Alex Ross Spider-Man "glow" outfit yet but if memory serves, Spidey's already ditched that suit anyway. Its not surprising Hasbro cant keep up. Modern versions tend to be less desirable, for the most part.

    Iron Man is a different animal. His armor would of COURSE be updated, so he's going to get a lot of versions. We still haven't seen the promethium (Heroes Reborn) armor, or even Silver Centurion. But you can be sure theyre on the way.

    The alex ross glow was the one with MJ

    Is there any place for characters like the entire Ultimate Universe which were basically clones of classic characters that other writers wanted to put their own twist on. And what about characters like Hobgoblin and Beetle and the entire Spider-Verse, who are all different people but were all "reinvented" for pretty much the same reason. Not trying to convolute thing, but I make it a point because I would never purchase any Ultimate version of a character if they didn't have the BAF.

    But within the guidelines you previously put forth I would put Apocalypse, The All New X-Men and the soon to be release X-Man in this list

    They aren't clones, just alternate versions of characters completely different

    Give him a head for every male character that wore that costume, and some weapons? What about giving him the weird sea anemone helmet that Changeling wore. I believe the Morph of AoA was supposed to be Changeling from the early years of X-Men.

    Morph and Changeling at the same person, just alternate versions. I want him as close to the ToyBIz version as possible, just with his gun added.
