I like to remind myself that at the end of the day, it's my fucking hobby. It shouldn't be stressful, it shouldn't be competitive, and it shouldn't come with any feelings of obligation. It's a hobby. I went to a flea market over the weekend. I entertained the thought of leaving at the crack of...

Absolutely! I'm a big advocate for civilian characters getting their due in the line, and Foggy is one of the most consistently important civilians in the whole Marvel Universe! Something like the third or fourth image would do it for me. In a perfect world, I'd want two-packs of civilians and...

Only Marvel character with the bizarre pedigree of being created by Harlan Ellison.

Stylistically, MF Doom usually wouldn't be to my taste, but just in principle, I gotta love a guy who loops audio from Godzilla movies and the 60s FF cartoon to a beat.

My top wants are a classic Wendigo, Bi-Beast, Zzzax, Glob, and Doc Samson. The 80th two-pack Hulk is honestly the last version of the character I need, unless they gave me an even Trimpe-ier headsculpt and maybe a Marie Severin portrait:

In a perfect world, I'd add Madison Jeffries and Diamond Lil to that list, too! The rumored Marrina also has me really jonesing for Master of the World: ... this was one of my favorite stories from the original Byrne Alpha Flight run.

Yeah, sure. Gen X was right at the tail end of my X-Men reading, and I have a lot of affection for the characters because of it. Like Doc Samson yesterday for Toy Biz redos, Penance is emblematic of another thing I'd like to see Hasbro prioritize: team completion! Although they've been doing a...

Wow, some major upsets. Surprised to see the love for Talisman. Not that I mind, but definitely unexpected! I wouldn't be mad with any of these, really. Interesting that three of the four top vote getters are team-builders (Gargoyle, Talisman, Doc Druid).

Yep, I have an unfair bias against the name and concept for the same reason. It immediately evokes snowboarding, frosted tips, limited-edition Mountain Dew flavors, and Jacoby Shaddix.

Hell yeah to classic Doc Samson. Let's wrap up the Toy Biz redo! I'd also take his dance-off jacket and fingerless gloves look, but t-shirt first.

This is exactly where I sit with the character. He hasn't made many appearances, but I have very strong memories of the ones he did (after all, his first appearance was in a bronze-age Spidey book). I recently cut down my X-Men shelves to basically just be GSXM to Fall of Mutants era, and Moses...

I'd have to think about it. The look is cool, but she's not really a character I have any attachment to ... I've never read anything with her, and am really only familiar with her from Wikipedia/ Marvel Encyclopedia perusals of Avengers membership. I think I'd be more receptive to her if we...

If I could figure out the space, Ymir would be a yes, but he'd be heavily contingent on getting some Asgardians to stage a diorama with him fighting. It also took my brain about three seconds to realize we weren't talking about this Ymir: ... who I would also pick up. When will someone...

We can make sweet jizz music.

That's no moon ...

Amazingly no, despite showing a girl I was crushing on my room and having her response be, verbatim: "how would anybody have sex in here?"

Classic Salinger Foolkiller would be a yes. I have an outsized memory of the character from his bronze-age appearances. He'd be a cool pick for a Spidey wave, or you could display him with Man-Thing if you're so inclined.

Jesus Christ, Debbie Harry's my first, last, and only answer for "celebrity crush." Or ... as I'm sure you'll appreciate, Gill-Man ... Julie Adams. Debbie Harry's been such a thing for me since high school that basically every friend, relative, and girlfriend of mine has at some point or...

... once in a while, I'll be talking to a friend about a run/ character/ era, he'll ask me "what about this issue/ story?" and I will stare at him blankly and say "I read it in my freshmen algebra class. Ask me about Gerry Conway Spidey instead." Obsessive fandom demands some degree of memory...

White Hat: 1) Firebird 2) Red Wolf 3) Two-Gun Kid 4) Shooting Star 5) Texas Twister 6) Kid Colt 7) Wyatt Wingfoot 8) American Eagle 9) Rawhide Kid 10) Reno Jones Black Hat: 1) Nekra 2) Mandrill 3) Gila 4) Cactus 5) Sunstroke 6) Butte 7) Rattler 8) Living Totem 9) Jesse James...

On principle, I should want Marvel Cthulhu. But despite the badass name, the character and design have never resonated with me. It'd be a pass, personally.

X-Factor Jean's boots. They were painted correctly on the card!

That is definitely a key detail. Made all the funnier when ALL the other pictures around it are congruous with fan concensus of what the character/ costume "should" look like.

There are an excruciating number of Marvel Legends figures where this is evident. I have a chuckle and a scowl at the ones where it's apparent their reference art was Google Images (Jason Wyngarde comes to mind). The best and worst thing about ML is, as others have said, every figure is...

Man ... classic Brother Voodoo has been a top twenty five want of mine for ages. When he appeared in the leaked listings for the wave, I was *sure* my time had come. After all, they had already done the modern version. Womp womp.
