Love the Imperial Guard! My top wants:

Warstar! Definitely my most wanted. I loved the metallic 5” Toy Biz figure.

Starbolt
Earthquake (prefer the alien looking face)
Impulse
Smasher (old school and the modern female Avenger from Earth)
Manta
Neutron

I’d love to get Emperor Vulcan in his golden imperial armor, too.

We need a make-to-order instant set so we get them all on similar bodies and we don't end up with a Serpent Society situation where new members aren't going to match as well with old members. Hell, new SS members will also have face print tech which won't match previous made members.

Basically give me the members from X-Men 137

Cool list, oh, and is there 2 Oracles? Cause you have her on the list twice, one at #10, the other at #13.


I just checked, #13 is supposed to say Magique.

My torder would be

Manta
Oracle
Starbolt
Hussar
Nightside
Magique
Warstar
Earthquake
Shapeshifter
Impulse
SmasherAstra
Titan
Blackthorn
White Noise
Webwing
Mentor
Neutron
Midget
Flashfire
Electron

I'd consider a couple more from X-Men 137, Manta and Warstar mainly, but I probably don't need $500 worth of Imperial Guard.

$250 is roughly 10 figures, and that would more than handle X-Men 137

Glad I could help.

Yeah, I was counting the whole list of 18 here - plus the ones we have already gotten - which puts it up to 20 figures.

I would be fine with just a few to stand behind Lilandra and Gladiator, so will clarify I probably don't need $250 of Imperial Guard either...

LOVE the Imperial Guard.

Electron

Oracle
Starbolt
Manta
Titan (MTO?)
Smasher
Neutron
Nightside
Hussar
Astra
Magique
Mentor
Warstar (BaF)
Impulse
Earthquake
Scintilla
Shapeshifter

There were also a number of Guardians from Quasar during Operation Galactic Storm I thought were cool like Voyager.

My current IG:

Still unsure about switching Gladiators from the two-pack, but definitely gonna add Deathbird to the display. Using "Warlord" as his own character, and not Xavier. Using Obsidian Silver Surfer as Guardmember "Cosmo":

Cosmo (Imperial Guard) (Earth-616)

5 appearance(s) of Cosmo (Imperial Guard) (Earth-616) 3 image(s) of Cosmo (Imperial Guard) (Earth-616) Cosmo (Imperial Guard) on Marvel.com

marvel.fandom.com

...but I call him "Cosmos" both because of the Guardians' Russian dog & the more "space-y" it sounds. I'll never get the Hercules: 2300 A.D. character if he's ever made, so there's no worries there, lol.
Was happy to see Vulcan with them in '97, as he's just been up there since I got him as just "the cosmic shelf" (like the Starjammers), lol.

I definitely want Manta, that look or cartoon, which is the same.
I wouldn't want Hussar, because she just looks too much like Binary, lol. And I like the flaming "star" hair better than the skullet, lolol.
I would definitely want the cartoon look for Titan - those shades of blue & orange & his hair color just look better, IMO.
I definitely want Starbolt, and that look is way better than the cartoon.
I definitely want Warstar, but definitely want that metallic green color from the ToyBiz figure.
Neutron looks cool, and could be reused for a powered-down Colossus.
Definitely want Oracle, short hair, puffy sleeves, big shoulder pads from both cartoon & comics. We need more pixie cuts on female action figures lol.
Definitely want Flashfire, also with the shorter hair from cartoon & comics.
Definitely want Smasher as in that specific pic above.
Magique looks awesome. Definitely take her.
If #17 is Hobgoblin, I want him, but with the purple skin for his face & ears. I don't like the all-green look.
I definitely want that specific Earthquake from Beamish's picture, which actually makes me want him, as the other comic & cartoon looks make me not want him, lmao.
