Defenders Wish List, Part II - Now 100% More Fun!

[Beamish]

It's been two weeks - time to defend the Defenders... again!

The first wish list thread I did for Articulated Thoughts a year ago was the Defenders, but that was before I split heroes and villains apart and before I started doing polls afterwards.

Here is the old thread for reference.

Thread 'Defenders Wish List - Just For Fun!'

Apr 5, 2025

Remember the Just For Fun wish lists from Fwoosh?
Let's play again!

All I ask is that it is ONE character per line for #1 thru #10.
Line #11 is for any ONE 2-pack or multi-pack.

It's your list, who do you want?

1) Gargoyle - my #6 most wanted character...

The Multi-pack is interesting. The Defenders have a long history and a lot to pick from. Ultimately, I boiled it down to the Sons of the Serpent, the Squadron Sinister or the Headmen. I'm going with the Headmen because they were really well written and they'd make great eye popping figures. They're more repulsive and sinister looking than the crowds at a MAGA rally.*

*If there are any MAGA out there that read that and were offended by it, I have just one thing to say: Fuck you, you ignorant ass hillbilly slime.

[Damien]

I would love a good Devil-Slayer and a Valkyrie w/ Aragorn.

 

[Thor-El]

Defenders characters are always a tough pick for me. I wasn't a regular reader, so I only have an ancillary familiarity with everyone (aside from the big name characters, of course). Still, there are some favorites that fall into this list. One cover I always remember is issue #105.

Classic/Handbook looks for everyone. I feel like this should be a given at this point.

Heroes:

1) Son of Satan
2) Devil-Slayer
3) Red Guardian II
4) Jack of Hearts
5) Captain Ultra
6) Black Goliath
7) Hellcat (on the new super-poseable female body)
8) Vanguard
9) Omega the Unknown
10) Stingray

Villains:

1) The Presence
2) Overmind
3) Nebulon
4) Scorpio
5) Mandrill
6) Nekra
7) Nightmare
8) Unus the Untouchable
9) Ringer
10) Foolkiller

Deluxe: Valkyrie Brunnhilde with Aragorn

6- Scorpio (Jake Fury)
7- Over-Mind (could go in either category)
8- The Presence (could go in either category)
9- Foolkiller (Greg Salinger)
10- Necrodamus

BAF- Eternity or Orrgo
Two-Pack- Gargoyle and Interloper
Boxset/MTO- Defenders for a Day ( Tagak the Leopard Lord, Stingray, Jack of Hearts, Torpedo, Black Goliath, Capt. Ultra, White Tiger, Polaris-Shi'ar costume, Marvel Man)

Don't Fitz me for saying this, but to be honest, I'm happy with the Valkyrie we already have.

I mean, I would buy an upgrade if they made one (the original is 16 years old now. I get it), but I'm okay if they don't.

It's just my opinion folks. Put away the torches and pitchforks. It's not like I have any say so in Hasbro's decision making process anyway.

Are you talking about the one from the dark days or the MCU one? Oh, do you mean the one with pants/leggings? I need classic (the dark days) redone. She's close to being in my Top 10 wants.

The classic comic one that was in a two pack with the Hulk. It came out in 2010, I believe. Those were the dark days indeed.

I still have it. It still looks okay on my Defenders shelf. Still, I would buy an upgrade if they made one, but it's not as big a priority with me as Red Guardian II or classic Son of Satan.
