One A Day 2.0: Day #164 - Maelstrom, Helio, Gronk and Phobius

Been waiting for Mandrill. Enthusiastic yes.

Last time I checked in on this thread was Calypso on p89. Too much to catch up on at the moment, but I’d buy her too.
 
Day #100 and the day before SDCC!
For this momentous occasion, let's go with something big...
Erik Josten!


Would I buy? Several
Which version? I would buy Power Man, a made-to-order large size Goliath and Atlas


20+ years and still no version of Erik? Hasbro needs to take care of that ASAP!

I only need one version and strongly prefer him as Atlas (because I primarily think of other characters under the monikers of Power Man and Goliath). When I think of this character I mostly associate him with the Thunderbolts.

I likely also prefer the red, blue and yellow costume to the brown. No need to go Giant-Man HasLab size here, just a simple 12" version would work for me as I really don't want to pay $200 or more for him. I figure that they can do the 12" for around $70.

I had that Luke Cage Power Man vs Power Man comic as a kid. Definitely want Josten as Power Man. Goliath would be a maybe depending on price. Atlas is after my reading days so I'd pass.
 
Enthusiastically in for Erik Josten in each of his personas. Preferences would be : Jack Kirby first image for Power Man; that second Power Man costume pretty much covers his Smuggler identity in Spider-Man, so a pick-up; Goliath was a key part of the classic Masters of Evil takedown of the Avengers so would go for him as a BAF, oversized or even a reasonably priced Haslab; ditto for Atlas (yellow/red/blue costume) as an original Thunderbolt.
 
In order of preference:

Masters of Evil era Goliath costume. I still get a laugh out of his West Coast Avengers appearance where he refused to shrink back down to normal size so they had to feed him dozens of burgers and they all knew it was on purpose. He got a laugh out of putting them out a bit.

Original Thunderbolts Atlas costume.

Kirby era Power Man (though I don't really think of him as Power Man).
 
Yes to Mandrill! What a cool figure that could be.

And yes to LOTS of Erik Josten. His Atlas costume (either/both) is essential for the Thunderbolts. His original Power Man costume is such goofy fun, and he's a classic Avengers villain, so I'd get that. But my biggest want is Josten's Goliath. Iron Man Annual #7, the Siege of Avengers Mansion, the Marvel Handbook...that's how I first came to know the character and would love to have that version in figure form.
 
Definitely want Goliath from the Masters of Evil and Atlas for the Thunderbolts!

Day 101 - Your Pick!
AKA - Beamish and family are traveling so Beamish won’t be posting a “real” post.

What ONE single character, 2-Pack or 3-pack do you want to be revealed at SDCC?
 
If I have only ONE pick: Rachel Phoenix. Really hoping they have some long sought after characters revealed though. If we get either Rachel or Gene Colan Dracula I will be extremely happy!
