One A Day 2.0: Day #206 - Howling Commandos

[d2bruce]

Big pass on Synch. Gen X or otherwise.

 

[Piffy]

I need not just one Synch, but two! One in his classic Gen X look, and one in his Hellfire Gala look with the hood. His was yet another, like Havok, that should have just become his uniform look moving forward. Some very wasted designs got set aside after those Gala issues were all over.

Catching up:

Classic Handbook Attuma is a yes. Long overdue.

Sin is a maybe, depending on how the figure turned out. Not essential for me, but if done right she'd be cool to have.

Pass on Synch. Don't know anything about the character. Does he have siblings named Toilyht and Showhyr?

Day #206 - Happy Veterans Day featuring the Howling Commandos

Would I buy? 1940's versions of the main cast? Oh yeah!
Which versions? WWII versions

WWII Logan is lonely. The Howling Commandos might keep him company.

Sergeant Nick Fury
Corporal Dum Dum Dugan
Captain Samuel "Happy" Sawyer
Private Isadore "Izzy" Cohen
Private Gabriel Jones
Private Dino Manelli
Private Robert "Rebel" Ralston
Private Jonathan "Junior" Juniper
Private Percival "Pinky" Pinkerton
Private Eric Koenig

I'd REALLY like to have the Howling Commandos, but I know that a) I have no room for them and b) I'd have to have them ALL, which would be cost prohibitive. Still, if I'm being honest with myself, I doubt I'd be able to resist the temptation if they started making them.

Before I would have been a yes on the Howling Commandos. Now I am a pass.

 

[Thor-El]

I’d be a pass on the Howling Commandos. I don’t have any kind of dedicated WWII display, so they’d just languish in storage. And at today’s prices, that’d be a waste of money.

I’d be a pass on the Howling Commandos. I don’t have any kind of dedicated WWII display, so they’d just languish in storage. And at today’s prices, that’d be a waste of money.

Here would be my issue. We don’t even have the Invaders fully represented. We have only one enemy character for them, and the Howling Commandos would look kind of silly all fighting a lone Red Skull. If we get the Howling Commandos, they need enemies. We can’t get Axis super villains out of Hasbro, much less Axis soldiers. I would love more Golden Age representation from Hasbro, but it just doesn’t seem to be coming. It light of that, pass.

 

[BasilElks]

I'd get some of them. Including Pamela Hawley.

 

[Chooch555]

Box set or bust.

 

[renfield75]

Missed a few days: All yeses on Attuma, Sin, and Synch.

And yes to the Howlers! A box set would be a cool way to kickstart the team and get the most essential members done at once. Get some re-use out of those WWII Logan parts Hasbro (but make sure you get the height right for the Howlers)

 

[tasmaniantwister]

If they'd start doing the much requested WW II superheroes (Torch and Toro, Bucky, Liberty Legion, etc...), then they could be a cool complement. If they did them, it'd be sweet to include accessories specific to each of them: Gabe Jones with a trumpet, Dugan with the unique hat, movie guy with a comb for his wavy pompadour he's always combing, etc... Agree about a boxset and the villains, but also the expressed skepticism about their doing Golden Age characters.

 

[Reno]

Yes, I'd buy them all! I can't help but feel that these are coming sooner rather than later after WWII Logan. I just hope that Hasbro does a better job than McFarlane did with Sgt Rock. LOL

 

[AceofKnaves]

Gimme all the Howlers!!

Yeah this is what holds me back from saying yes along with today's prices. I like the characters, but probably not a high priority right now.
