But I have the Thing already, and they gave us MCU Korg.
In seriousness though, I have no real attachment to this character, so while he looks okay, I’d probably pass on him.
Yep, and that's the rub. Rockslide is easily my most wanted figure right now so thank you to Beamish for including him today! Once they decided to make MCU Korg look kind of like Rockslide to look less like Thing then I knew that we'd never get Rockslide from Hasbro. For what it's worth I'd still like a true comic version of Korg as well. I know that I probably just need to do a kitbash/custom of Rockslide with parts from some combination of Black Dwarf / Cull Obsidian, Colossus, Korg, Strong Guy and Thing to make what I want.
Did you know that Rockslide has more comic appearances than any of Galactus, Toad, Thunderbolt Ross, Moon Knight, Red Skull, The Watcher, Miles Morales, Thanos, Elektra or Johnny Blaze? (Reference Source is ComicVine)
I'd also love two different versions of Santo so I could use one as "Wrongslide" from the Krakoa era when they resurrected him with a different personality.
There are still so many previously unmade X-Men characters that I want badly with Rockslide topping the list ahead of many, many others including Pixie, Anole, Armor, Magma, Cypher, Sage, Krakoa, Hellion, Valerie Cooper, Dust, Surge, Mercury, Glob Herman, Dr Nemesis, Elixir, Frenzy, Exodus, Temper, Synch, Prodigy, Box, Mariko Yoshida, Blindfold, Leech, Mimic, Skin, Bling!, Abigail Brand, Cecilia Reyes, Hepizbah, Scalphunter, Genesis, Henry Gyrich, Cerebella, Pete Wisdom, Gentle, Tempus, Trish Tilby, Deathbird, Proteus, Egg, Kavita Rao, Loa, Broo, Skids, Feral, Lila Cheney, Match, Trance, Layla Miller, Vanisher, Artie Maddicks, Kwannon, Raza, Rusty Collins, Gateway, Empath, Ernst, Cassandra Nova, Amanda Sefton, Arclight, Nocturne, Indra, Andreas and Andrea Von Strucker, Triage, Graydon Creed, Lady Mastermind, Warbird (Shi'ar), Masque, Eye Boy, Ship, Scout, Transonic, Cameron Hodge, Hollow, Oracle, Harpoon, Shark Girl, William Stryker, Joseph, Tempo, Angel Salvadore, Bolivar Trask, EVA, Yukio, Mesmero, Manifold, Jamie Braddock, Graymalkin, Manta, GW Bridge, Jimmy Hudson, Unuscione, Benjamin Deeds, Kid Gladiator, Thunderbird (Shaara), John & Elaine Grey, Primal, Smasher, Malice, S'ym, Shogo Lee, Emplate, Mondo, Stevie Hunter, Sabra, Irene Merryweather, Krakoa Grandchild, Copycat, Bedlam, Riptide, Scrambler, Unus the Untouchable, Mikhail Rasputin, Velocidad, etc., etc., etc.
For as many X-Men as we get, these lower tier characters always seem to get ignored just to make the same A-listers over and over and over again. I loved the Ch'od BAF wave and the recent Nemesis BAF wave because they went out of their way to actually give us new characters, so more waves like those please! Husk has easily been my favorite figure from the line so far this year.
Thanks again
@Beamish for including my top pick and allowing me to "guest star" today!
