It's not like getting a powered down Armor would be all that much of an exception. There are a ton of Legends figures where their power sets aren't really evident in the figure. I mean look at the Absorbing Man that was just revealed as an example. You could argue that there are just as many figures where no power set is evident as where it is. For someone who didn't know Marvel they could look at our collections and never have any idea what powers the characters have. Is that boring? Of course it is, but it doesn't keep those figures from getting made either.

This is true. I wouldn't turn her down without her armour. I think she's a lot less likely to get the BAF treatment like that, though. I, like many others, would probably try my hand at custom armour, if they did that.
 
Yes! The pieces on that Green Lantern were completely removable but IIRC the armor wasn't one piece, it was broken down into arm/torso front/back torso/arm or something like that. That DC line was really well done for its time; I think it would've done really well if they were a bit bigger.
 
I agree. As a big Alpha Flight fan, I would be super happy with Marrina, Box and Talisman and I would consider the classic team complete.

To be honest, Jim Lee's design of Box is cooler than Byrne's but I get what you mean.
 
The way I imagine a potential Armor figure is a standard figure clipped by the waist inside a translucent, hollow shell. Maybe swivel articulation at the neck and shoulders, maybe even the hips, though any leg articulation would result in the necessity of ankle articulation to stabilize the figure. The neck shoulder swivels would also remain hollow to accommodate her head and arms to float inside (again, her attachment is mostly at the waist with a clip to the back of the armor). It doesn’t need to be huge armor, it could be smaller than the Cobra SNAKE armor.
 
That Guardian/Vindicator/Whatever figure from a few years ago was bunk. That facial expression on Constrictor makes me realize how good he could have been. Heck I'd take that sneer on a Wolverine figure.

Oh. This convo again.

There are ways, and Hasbro has an entire engineering team to make work the versions we've all speculated on how to build. There is simply no way there is no way.

Hot take.

I don't need the power represented.

Just give me the figure to throw in the lineup and I'm happy.

I'm feeling the need to confess. I also do like the Jim Lee Box design better than Byrne's Roger Bochs.:) Although, I will say I definitely like Byrne's design and 100 % want both as figures.

As far as Alpha Flight members as figures, likely would pick them up through most of the first series at least. Diamond Lil especially is a big want. Legends needs more non-American characters.

Can't pull the trigger on the new Blaze GR - odd as I normally go for the most classic look, but I feel like it will really standout too much next to the Ketch cycle as too "red" and cartoonish, while the Legendary Riders Blaze looks great next to Ketch, and would look great next to an eventual Hellcharger.

Couldn't agree more.
