Hopping from reading "West Coast Avengers" #65 to this forum because it reminded me: I'd kill for an updated Grim Reaper on an updated body with better articulation. One of my absolute favorite villains. All the better if they sprung for swappable parts for his silver/bronze age look and the copper age (and EMH) hood.

Everything on the Grim Reaper body needs a redo. Terrible base body.

Wow, I know tastes vary widely, but there wasn't a single thing in that list that I care for a remake on, at all... that surprised me.

Like I'd probably buy a couple - Kamala and Reed with added stretchy limbs, day... bit I don't need Hasbro to do any of those..

Thats ok, you can be wrong
;):p

Joking. I dunno, I just know those are figures Im unsatisfied with. I mean some, like Miles, I know are probably just my personal bug bear for scaling. Others, like Carol, just havent had a new figure in that costume since 2015, and the technology on faces ALONE is so much better that she now looks out of place, let lone a body with single jointed elbows etc.
 
... I created my own head-canon that basically shuts off somewhere before "Onslaught."

One of the major exceptions? Carol Danvers! Always a favorite of mine, and she's gotten to shine in the past twenty years. I'd be elated with a non-crap figure of her as Captain Marvel, the old one sticks out like a sore thumb on my shelf. Perfect for a mini-comic wave, I think.

I just hope they put her on a larger frame than Ms Marvel, which I feel is too small. Ideally something closer to the Gamerverse Psylocke or recent Phoenix Deluxe proportions.

Next year will be the 35th anniversary of the Infinity Gauntlet? Maybe that's where we'll see Magus, and a comic book version of classic Nebula? :D

I’m down for a classic Magus in a big way, if for no other reason than it makes it super easy to do a proper original Adam Warlock. Like they should have done a long damn time ago.

It's also funny because it really does feel like a lot of folks (And old Fwoosh folks, which I know a lot of us are) stopped reading comics in the 80s or 90s and just don't like new stuff, which is always weird to me. I love comics, i dont imagine I'll ever stop :)

Solidarity!

Sure there's a lot of classic looks that might need updating, but also there's classic characters that i wouldnt care less if they're never made. looking at you worst avenger Doctor Druid
 
I'll save my real thoughts on re-dos for that thread, but I am sitting here with the Marvel display I have above my desk staring directly at Squirrel Girl and just said "YOU" out loud. It is criminal that we only have that one version of her. I want a re-do but at this point I'd settle for a Rivals version and make it work with the collection.

Old man yelling at clouds coming through.

See--I feel like a lot of the newer books lost me due to too many "Big Blockbuster, Earth-Shattering Events".

Just tell me a simple, good story, and you have me hooked for life. I don't need all the gimmicks. I don't need this character to die, or this character to come back, or all mutants to go away or whatever. Just a great read with no flourish, and I'm there. MAYBE a superstar artist whose art I really love (God, what I wouldn't give to see Jim Lee back on an X-Men book, even for just a short time).

That said, I still read, because I like and need the escape from life for even the short time. I always have read them since I could read, and I'll never stop. I may take breaks here and there, but just like my video game playing, I always come back with full enthusiasm eventually. Lame big blockbusters and all.

After all, why we are here, right? They all serve each other--the media breeds the love for the subject, and encourages our desire to own stuff of the thing we love. Very symbiotic relationship.

Jesus, I'm the guy campaigning for the likes of Zarrko the Tomorrow Man and Reno Jones, but even I think Doctor Druid sucks.
