I actually sometimes enjoy being even more extreme, and thinking about characters who have never had any action figure, period. It's a cool way to look at the line holistically within Marvel toy collecting and think about how far we've come. To use last year, here's the characters who have never...

Oh, man, I have been tempted to pick up the Remco DC stuff so many times, but can never bring myself to pay fair market value. But Machiste and Warlord, particularly, are so cool looking.

I think my statute for "new" character is definitely anything pre-Marvel Legends Infinite in 2014. On a related note to this list, man do I hope they make Shanna available to those of us who missed the SDCC set. Super bummed I didn't get that figure. Edit: Marvel Legends Infinite, not Return of...

I just bought the DCD Enemy Ace, because I figure there's no way in hell Mattel ever gets around to him. And he looks pretty damn good with my DCUC stuff.

This is exactly what I figured, and I'm interested to see how it affects long-term line health. I'm hoping they can continue to strike a decent balance and find ways to keep getting them out there. For us long-term collectors, the fun of Marvel Legends is the ludicrous depth of characters and...

Pro mixed comic waves: gets out cool, odd characters who don't quite fit in the common BAF wave themes (Phantom Rider, Werewolf by Night). Con mixed comic waves: they're larded up with A-listers (especially this one), and the scattershot character selection means you may be SOL if you love the...

Here's my contribution: My only fellow collector friend fell head-over-heels for this stupid, ridiculous, awesome toyline back in November, and it's been a blast finding them with him at local toy shows and collectible stores. The fun of collecting weird-assed, obscure toylines is that...

Here's where I stand with it, for my Defenders shelf: Valkyrie is a member of the OG team from issue #4-152. You can't have a shelf without her. And the most recent existing figure is an antique, it looks embarrassing, especially side-by-side with Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, and the Hulk --...

This unironically is exactly the kind of crap I'd buy at any price. Forgotten Heroes (Dolphin, particularly) are my top want for a DC line, besides a proper Silver or Bronze Age Supergirl.

Ooh, yes. One of my top most wanted villains.

I imagine toy companies back in the day just had a big blackboard labeled "things boys like" and just picked like, three or four of them at a time at random and tried to combine them into a single product. Like Madballs: "boys like monsters, boys like sportsballs, boys like gross stuff." Put...

Yes, actually ... I recently went back and read/ reread 90s FF, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I'd need era-appropriate FF costumes and Lyja to pair with them, I think. And maybe Kristoff Vernard.

As the proud owner of a "Disco Sucks" shirt, it was really about this. I just like railing against the thing that feels corporate and stale, especially as a fan of all the music I just gushed about a little ways up the page. Every movement/ sound/ scene is eventually ruined once some douchebag...

Listing a critically high volume of my favorite bands here. In my humble opinion (likely because I grew up with my old man blaring it constantly), early seventies Mick Taylor Stones is the best Stones. And early, weird Blue Oyster Cult pairs superbly with reading seventies horror comics. My...

Even Vincent Price! P.S - the seventies were the literal only decade where "Theatre of Blood" could have been made.

1) Kitty Pryde (Training Uniform) 2) Psylocke (Mutant Massacre) 3) Valkyrie (Classic) 4) Dani Moonstar (New Mutants) 5) Wolfsbane (New Mutants) 6) Namorita (Classic) 7) Hepzibah 8) Mantis 9) Hellcat 10) Magma 11) Karma (New Mutants) 12) Firebird 13) Nikki Gold 14) Miss America 15)...

I'm curious what eras are prioritized for world and team-building. DCUC felt very bronze age-y, Marvel Legends is sweeping enough that it's covered at least a bit of everything (Golden Age notwithstanding, sorry SD). Like, what version of the Justice League will we see them try to build out/...

Upgraded Suit Miles Morales is $11 on Amazon at the moment: https://www.amazon.com/Spider-Man-SPD-Legends-GVERSE-2/dp/B0D9ZTC95M/?tag=enewsi-20 Now that is a ten years ago impulse buy level of discount!

Why sir, add in Doc Savage (who, in the original graphic novel, created the Rocketeer's jetpack!), and I'm absolutely IN! I love crossover stories like that ... I always wanted to have Indy and the Howlers on Skull Island.

One of my favorite ML figures. And one of my favorite characters, which made the figure all the better!

Recorder would make a great figure! Especially if they went high effort with the panel on his chest being removable -- kinda like the Playmates Data, if anyone remembers that figure. Also yes to Tana Nile. She's the exact kind of weird and the exact era I collect with enthusiasm.

This, broadly. At this stage, I have moved into roughly pre-1990 displays for reasons of both space and funds. I used to be willing to research an unfamiliar character to psyche myself into wanting a figure, but I've shifted to only wanting characters I have an existing need for/ attachment to.

My first Mezco arrived in the mail yesterday ... Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze! Usually Mezco's price point makes their figures cost-prohibitive for me, but I love Doc too much to pass up his first-ever action figure. I couldn't be happier with him, I carved out a whole shelf to display him...

I really want Green Goblin and Vulture, but I honestly feel secure that Hasbro will circle back around to every A and B-list Spider-Man villain given enough time. We've got to be due for a pinless scaled buck that they'll redo all the Goblins on (and maybe update Dreadknight, if we're lucky).

The exact artist I had in mind. One of my favorite X-Men storylines:
