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

Hope everyone in your family is doing well, Beamish.

Yes to classic Collector, and yes to Zzzax. Zzax would make for such a striking looking figure.

I’ve been banging the drum for Zzzax for years now - he replaced Fin Fang Foom in my ‘probably never happen, but damn it’s be cool’ list.

I’d be all over this. Do him as a MTO - big chonky figure, translucent yellow with some frosting. He’d look super awesome.

I’d be cool with a figure of Zzzax. Biggest issue is capturing a being of kinetic energy, in a solid plastic form. If Hasbro is going to make him, it’s got to be a dedicated, intricate sculpt to do the character justice. If Hasbro can do it, I’ll by it.
 
Zzzax would be a buy for me, but I would need to see how they executed his look. Electricity based characters in toy form (powered up, not human form) are tricky. They can look good, or terrible.
 
Totally in for a well-done recreation of Zzzax. Regarding the unique sculpts, they're doing a universe of characters that draws from pretty much every fictional idea and mythology. That's one of the greatest strengths of the property. I get, more than ever, there are factors they don't have any control over, which we all have to deal with in one way or another. However, didn't it used to be a consideration if there were precursor toys like those pictured above ? Plus, they now have different options like the MTO category for larger characters. Anyway, any interest in doing him with Graviton ? Zzzax was in that villain grouping in West Coast Avengers that I don't think Marvel ever named, but gets referred to online as Fundamental Forces/Graviton's Fundamental Forces. Maybe in an all villain wave ?
 
Zzzax is so overdue and is a major want!

I've wanted another dedicated Hulk wave ever since the Fin Fang Foom BAF wave. Imagine my disappointment to hear the leak about the Hulk wave only to realize there's not a single character rumored that I want. I was hoping for anyone from Zzzax, Bi-Beast, Ironcald, Lyra, Red King, Rick Jones A-Bomb, Miek, NoName (Brood), etc... and what does it sound like we're getting? More of the same retreads yet again. The only one from the leaked list that I'd be excited for is Hulk 2099. Sure the other figures mentioned are certainly overdue for an update, but after 25 years what I really want is some never before done characters.

Most enormous of yesses for Zzzax.

One of my earliest figure customs was turning a 5" Zzzax into a Man Thing and I have thought more than once about trying the reverse with a Legends Man Thing, but I have held off hoping Hasbrobwill eventually deliver one.
