One A Day 2.0: Day #163 - Maximus Boltagon

I'd like Speed in a Young Avengers box or wave, or at least with some indication the other members are being redone from 20 years ago. On his own I don't really need him.
 
Loudest possible “YES!” to classic Handbook Killer Shrike.

Pass on Speed. While I enjoyed Young Avengers at the time, they’ve since come to be part of an era of Marvel I no longer enjoy. I’d take an Asgardian in his original suit (because I have my own headcanon for him), but that’s it.
 
Yes to Spot and yes to Speed. All the Young Avengers could use new/first figures.

Day #80 - Secret Wars: a Tribute to Jim Shooter
Today is the first part of my tribute to Jim Shooter's significant contributions to Marvel, and some of his creations that should have been made into figures by now.

Would I buy? Day #1 purchase - Volcana, Wasp, Wrecking Crew, Falcon

Mr. Shooter created arguably Marvel's best maxi-series crossover. The one crossover all others are measured to. All the time wrangling the Mattel toy line marketing strategy tie-in. We even have a Retro line dedicated to it, and hopefully a second wave coming soon. Love him or hate him, he was an incredibly creative man and a shrewd business strategist. All wrapped up into one maxi-series: Secret Wars.
Volcana wraps up the main cast. Wasp's costume is unique and immediately identified with this story. The Wrecking Crew needed updates as soon as they were released. Classic Colossus and SW Rogue are major wants with collectors. Where is classic Falcon?
Hasbro knows we want all of this.

I only collect MCU figures, but a big focus of my marvel collecting is a shelf for movie versions of everyone in Secret Wars. My biggest want right now, because I feel she's the least likely to ever get made by a mile, is Julia Carpenter.

Volcana is the biggest want from these.
I could go for Wrecking Crew redos. I was only able to get half the team on their previous release, so I’d welcome new versions or even rereleases.
A Secret Wars Wasp would be nice.
Zsaji would be cool to have.
Not as big priority, but still very welcome, would be a new Constrictor, a classic Falcon, a Secret Wars She-Hulk, a “shrimpy” Molecule Man.

I expect there’ll be more wants in day #2
