Not “impossible”, just seems like reaching and myth-making, to the point of trying to make something out of nothing. And you have definitely asked it. So I guess that is the stage we are at, yes? Sounds like 1) a question for a DCD thread and 2) an answer that will actually have to be *waited...

That’s my preferred continuity, for sure. No Adam, no Keldor, no “Captain Glenn”. I think the dividing line is that beyond having some Eternian machines and stuff, I have no interest in this property being “science fiction”. I prefer it as fantasy, without needing to explain where the humans...

Oh wait, MF Doom is a separate thing. Not sure if musician or Internet personality or what, but doesn’t look like my jam. Anyway, I want a motherfucking classic Doctor Doom Marvel Legends figure.

Yup, and if I wanted that, I’d go watch Superman, or John Carter of Mars. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t like John Carter much, either. I’m just not into those “human guy goes somewhere, finds another culture, winds up leading said culture in battle” stories. Also I hate He-Man/Prince Adam being a...

Are we though? A license is changing hands. It happens all the time. I always admire your enthusiasm, but so much of this seems like wishing for things to be more dramatic and cloak-and-dagger than they are. I just don’t think there is all this intrigue behind the scenes. It feels . . ...

A lot of it looks cool. I just . . . really, really, REALLY hate tying any of this to Earth. I hate Marlena being from earth in older continuity as well. It takes the specialness away for me, just another “chosen Earth guy vs aliens” thing. That said: I’ll check this out.

They swap with Origins heads/bodies, too!

Super easy, generally! I’ve got that bearded head on the Flying Fists body/armor with the gold Power Sword from Thunder Punch, and that’s my “older/King” He-Man. Although since Eternia is a democracy now, I guess he’s, like, Prime Minister He-Man? Actually he probably wouldn’t run for office, so...

Da, da! In Soviet Russia, Oktober Guards you! Hell yes to Gorky. Park optional.

“I’ve grown accustomed to her face!” The face in question:

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Well that’s head canon now.

It’s most likely this. That’s the actual genesis of his name, pig mask aside. His whole deal is “remaking” people, like Professor ‘Enry ‘Iggins but with more blood and power tools: which, to be fair, would have made My Fair Lady a lot cooler.

Classic Punisher is obviously coming in a “Greatest Black-Costume Characters of the 70s” two pack, with classic Dracula.

I find Professor Pyg utterly delightful in all his incarnations. Gross is awesome.

I’d buy them. Reptil make me chuckle. I love Superhero Squad.

Yep, I’d grab him.

So my Retro case is still “processing”, but I’ve got headswaps set aside already for poor Crazy-Legs. I’ve got Night Force Falcon, whitebro cop, and Mainframe heads on standby to see what looks best, C-L’s head is going on a cop because of course it is.

Wow, just occurred to me that depending on who winds up managing the brand at Mattel, this could be the first time in a generation that DC action figures aren’t being peddled by a grandstanding narcissist.

This. He’s a very nice figure and by far the closest to a “novel accurate” Dracula ever done. I’ve got a *lot* of Dracula toys, and he’s probably my overall favorite.

Yep, love her look.

Medics kinda do it for me. I think because I read that “Ratchet stands alone against Megatron” arc in the old Marvel Transformers comics, and the idea of a guy who’s not a fighter stuck in crazy, scary situations stuck with me.

I love all the love for Carla! Gotta have her.

Duke is TERRIFYING there. He looks like he’s eagerly anticipating the sweet taste of human flesh.

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR DRACULA!

Mmmmmm good question!
