Yeah I remember the venom hands were a popular swap

and Caliban's

and Caliban's

Yeah I found Caliban’s worked better.

I think the final recipe I went with was Shadow King head on Joe Fixit body with the Caliban hands and then it bugged me that they rotund nature of Farouk made more sense as he’s a psychic villain it would track more that even in the height of battle he’s still sitting on his fat arse getting zero cardio, so I opted to preorder the reissue of retro card Kingpin so I could use that body for him instead. Why that body and not the baf? To me Kingpin seems like a guy who would have too much of a discerning eye to wear such a pukesome ensemble, he’s stylish in all white or all black like Donofrio’s wardrobe in the tv series. Farouk on the other hand strikes me as likely having no taste and he’d absolutely wear that awful mismatch of patterns and colours the animated/classic Kingpin wears.

My thinking was all white is sorta a Middle Eastern staple and was how he appeared in his first appearance. Purple pants and ascot for Kingpin bc that is how he appeared for 30 years.

Fair but I stand by my assertions that the fashion choices of the artists, or rather lack of inclination to adjust the wardrobe of a character don’t click with the personalities of them.
Often it’s just a shorthand way of making characters distinguishable on the page when drawn repeatedly that sticks longterm and earns them some of the more bizarre or questionable aesthetics (I’m looking at you Osborn boy - oof, those haircuts are certainly a choice…)

What do you have against crisp waves?

 

[AceofKnaves]

Yes. He’s dressed like Sydney Greenstreet in Casablanca.

Well... to say "we" are asking for it is a bit presumptive that all Legends collectors are completely unified in their wants and desires from the line. It would be an entire wave of well-selling re-dos which also appeal to the long term collectors who have been looking to replace some very outdated figures on their shelves. A couple very strong selling waves would hopefully buy some leeway to include all the wonderful and obscure D-listers every niche collector has in their back pocket in future waves for the year. Success = more of a chance 9 people get their dream of owning a Dr. Bong or General Admission or whoever.

I had a similar reaction. I guess that it would save me a lot of money.

If something has ever been made in the past, especially within the past decade then I don't personally ever need it again. I don't even want alternate costumes for characters myself. Just preferably one fairly definitive version and done, and ready to move on to a character that I don't already have. I don't want to own more than one of anybody, but I'll absolutely buy one of every single distinct character that is made regardless of obscurity.

 

[Enforcer]

Strong selling waves mean more releases which usually result in the inclusion of obscure characters. Sorry for the seizures, fellas. Chuck a Ruby Thursday in the Wish Wave to help stave off the violent shakes.

There’s ten of us, thank you very much.

 

[Sgt. Stinky]

Maybe we will get a Howard the Duck and Dr. Bong two-pack. We still don't have a proper comic representation of Howard yet! I would buy it in a heartbeat!

 

[Dek]

I don't think they can do classic Howard. Wasn't one of the conditions of the lawsuit that Howard always has has to be wearing pants now in depictions? No Donald Duckin' for Howard the Duck?

I could swear it is.

This is my absolute, no bullshit, #1 Marvel Legends wish that isn’t directly Dracula/horror oriented. I’d buy a set for every room in my house, for my car, for my office . . . just put Howard and Doctor Bong in my veins!!!!
