Day #29 - Happy Mother's Day to the mother of the Celestial Messiah - Mantis
Would I buy? She's my #4 most wanted character, so that's a big, old
YES!!!
Which costume? Classic all the way. Human skin tone. I'd begrudgingly buy plant green skin tone in the classic costume. No GOTG jacket or insect-looking versions for me.
Super articulated body so we can do this:
A Mantis/Swordsman 2-pack is just begging to be made:
The fact that we don't have Mantis yet is just ridiculous. Since comic Wong was made last year, Mantis and Nebula hold the record for appearing in the most MCU projects as a main character yet don't have a comic figure counterpart. All Hasbro's talk of finishing teams and adding to rosters - Mantis adds to both the Avengers and GOTG rosters.
If her costume is "too problematic", then Hasbro should do what they should have done with Moondragon - don't have the bodice go all the way down to her navel (Moondragon had other costume issues that could have easily been fixed, but I digress).
Make Mantis happen, Hasbro!
