One A Day 2.0: Day #163 - Maximus Boltagon

[Justice]

Probably yes on Nitro and Blackout. Artie and Leech are must-haves even though they give me the creeps.

 

[akajomiha]

Pass on that Blackout and Artie and Leech.

Day 147 - Guest Starring Ru1977 - MCU Thunderbolts Taskmaster and Ghost
Many thanks to Ru1977 for supplying the pictures!

Would I buy? YES!

Where are they Hasbro? Let's complete the team! Update Bucky too.

Thunderbolts* is definitely a film from which I want *all* the characters.
Yes please to Tasky and Ghost.

 

[Reno]

While I respect @Ru1977's desire for these figures, and I hope that he gets them - this is the rare double pass for me. I already have MCU figures of both of these characters. Ghost could certainly use an upgrade, but I think the Taskmaster from the Black Widow movie is fine and she was barely in this movie.

For me, I also have comic versions of these characters that I love as well before they were gender swapped for the MCU. I generally don't care much about the gender swapping itself, but sometimes it reaches the point of being overdone.

From Thunderbolts, I'd personally much rather have a figure of Val. From the MCU in general I'd rather have Echo or Cassandra Nova.

I do hope that our MCU collector brethren see a little more love in 2026, though! However I will say that I loved the Shalla Bal Silver Surfer and Joaquin Torres Falcon figures this year from the MCU. The only other MCU figures from this year that I've bought so far are Red Hulk, RG/Yelena and flamed on Johnny.

 

[Ru1977]

I get all that, but even if Taskmaster was in the movie for two seconds, this costume is so much cooler! Echo and Val are firmly on my list as well, but I actually feel both are more likely than Taskmaster, whom I chose because I feel of all the figures on my wishlist, she is the least likely to get a figure these days.

 

[puckace]

Double pass for me as I generally don't collect mcu now. I did make an exception for the Thing.

I do hope you get some mcu love this year Ru1977.

 

[Schizm]

Bucky, Ghost, Taskmaster, Val & Void! All of them!

Looking at those images it looks like Taskmaster could use Domino's lower body - the design is not unsimilar. Ghost has a lot of design elements in common with Wasp so the Quantumania version is a good match.

Please finish this team, Hasbro!

Also yes to Artie and Leech!

 

[TheSameIdiot]

I don't buy MCU, but if I did, I'd get these.

I'd like a single-carded release of the three-pack comic Taskmaster.

 

[canprime]

Double pass.

I want classic 80s MU Handbook looks for both of them well before any other version now.

 

[Thor-El]

I know that fans of the MCU really want them, so I wish them all well, but personally they’re a pass from me. I’m not a movie guy.

As far as Artie and Leech, Robo did some really nice customs of them so if we could get figures of them similar to those in a 2-pack, I’d bite. But generally they’d be passes for me. Especially if they’re just pack-in slugs.

 

[TFitz]

No MCU for me, so these are a pass, but they definitely need to be made so the MCU collectors can complete the team.

 

[tasmaniantwister]

Enjoyed the movie. Definitely think they should do figures of all the main characters but don't collect movie figures unless they can stand in for comics characters who've never had a figure. Val does qualify and would be a pickup. Hope they do these two for the people who want them.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

These would be a pass for me, as I’m not generally a movie collector. Hope those that want them, get them though.
