D_List characters 3 pack - Your picks

Another possibility for this line could be sprinkling in easy (but wanted) variants of existing figures: Mockingbird and Puck with full pants, Box in blue, Crystal in F4 deco, Morbius in blue, Angel in red with yellow gloves and boots (Angel in blue would probably be better served in the main line), Luke Cage with blue pants, Spider-Woman with full mask (no hair), Tarantula with black mask....*ahem* X-Factor Marvel Girl with yellow boots.

I know these characters have been done before and are better than D-list but maybe they add a little sales boost?

Classic Iron Fist! Packed with a new Misty Knight and Colleen Wing. Or El Aguila and Steel Serpent.

Good idea! Walgreens was a good place for costume variants, but with them gone, this is a good place for easy repaints, as well as easy redos. It might not be all D-List characters, but it's a good place for more obscure costume choices and much needed updates.

Alpha Flight
1. Box (blue repaint)
2. Puck (pants repaint)
3. Shaman (Vulcan base body, Hawkeye boots and bracelets, box set satchel, new head and belt/loincloth overlay)

Alpha Flight II
1. Aurora (Deluxe Phoenix base body, box set head)
2. Northstar (Blur base body, Box set head)
3. Vindicator (Deluxe Phoenix base body, box set head)

Alpha Flight III
1. Guardian (2-pack Punisher base body, new head)
2. Snowbird (Deluxe Phoenix base body, box set head and cape, Owl's owl)
3. Weapon Omega (Vulcan base body, Retro Madripoor costume Wolverine glove cuffs, new head)

Avengers Villains
1. Mr. Hyde (Mr. Fixit base body and fists, new head and cloak overlay with attached collar and bolo tie)
2. Absorbing Man (metal repaint)
3. Korvac (Blur base body, new head, cast in translucent purple plastic with glitter in the plastic ala 2019's Genis-Vell)

Avengers Villains II
1. Leader [classic] (Amazing Fantasy base body, Leader torso overlay, new classic head)
2. Graviton [classic] (Vulcan base body, Jack O'Lantern gloves, new head and cape)
3. Norman Osborn (MCU Matt Murdock body, new head)

Doctor Strange
1. Astral Doctor Strange (Wal*Mart Doctor Strange, Blue legs, cast in translucent plastic)
2. Dweller in Darkness (MvC Venom base body, new head)
3. Kaecilius (Vulcan base body, TAS Chameleon boots, new head)

Hulk
1. Captain Universe Hulk (Deodato Hulk head, Hulk base body, blue and white repaint)
2. Madman (Hulk base body, new head and collar overlay)
3. Ravage (Hulk base body, new head)

Captain America
1. The Captain (MvC Captain America repaint)
2. Left-Winger (2-pack Punisher base body, MvC Captain America forearms, new head)
3. Right-Winger (2-pack Punisher base body, MvC Captain America forearms, new head)
 
Vanisher {80s vol.2 handbook} {Easy to do, just the blank black body, and Prof. X's head. I did that, about 5+ years ago, as a custom. lol
Unus {80s handbook}
Thornn 2 {Feral's sister} {Should be fairly easy, if anything, just a new head, they basically have the rest.}

Exactly. Absolute bare bones. I don’t even know if he meant including extra hands at all. But I am still 100% here for it if it gets us some of the “easy” characters we’ve been suggesting for years.

Which is why the idea would probably die a quick death. The idea of doing a bare bones set with little to no investment would be shit on pretty quick. I don't want this idea if it is basically just the figure and nothing else. Each offering should have at least one accessory.

You also have to remember he said "with old school pricing". How old school we don't know, but not at current pricing for these. I think that would pull a ton of people in.

My expectations for a figure are directly proportional to how much I'm paying.

I'll forgive a bare-bones figure for closer to $20, and complain at closer to $30.

Exactly. He said these would be 3-packs, so we're looking at at least $60 per set. I'm fine with bare bones, no accessories that aren't absolutely critical to the character's identity (a gun for Chemistro, for example), and no swappable hands. If it gets out more unique D-Listers into our collection, all the better.
 
Windowless packaging?
Yeah I'd be the one that gleefully orders my Firebird, Dr. Druid & Graviton 3-pack and get a rock, fugly ToyBiz Scarlet Mitch and an MCU Eternals figure after some jackhole swaps out the figure I want through an Amazon return.
