Enthusiastic yes to classic Starhawk. Hard to believe Hasbro hasn't made him yet with multiple Guardians' movies out there. Would also be up for the Valentino blue starfield look. What about a two pack with his partner/merged other-self/fellow Guardian Aleta ?

Aleta is as necessary to my collection as Starhawk is. So many leave her out when they are listing the GotG they want Hasbro to make though.
 
I want Starhawk, Charlie-27 and Martinex so bad i can taste it. Its super frustrating to have had Vance Astro since 2017, to finally get classic Yondu six years later... and now... two more years down the road and no further along on that team. Its maddening.

Starhawk was the first member added to the original 4... he joined in Defenders 28... but he was a member by the time I encountered the team so to me he's one of the original team. I need him. and the others as well. Nikki is invited too, she joined only like a year after Starhawk, so I don't know why my brain doesn't include her as a "main" team member... but it doesn't.

Anyway... no stupid Stallone version... but pretty please for a classic 70's looking Stakar Ogord

You forgot "adoptive sister / mother of his three children" (three children he then had to kill after his (adoptive) father/father in law turned them into energy vampires) in your description of Aleta... and that stuff helps explain their complicated and traumatic relationship.

That was hilarious. I'll be sure to add that next time.

I mean... thats partly because she joined the team 22 years after they first debuted. I fell in love with Guardians of the Galaxy in the late 70's and 80's. .. Aleta joined the team in 1991, so she was a late comer.

Its not that she's unwelcome, just that to me she is less essential than the first six. I would be happy to have her as a figure but I need Starhawk, Charlie, Martinex and Nikki.
 
Now Aleta, I actually prefer the modern gold and black look over her classic look. But I still want a figure of her too.

Aleta debuted in 1975, in the pages of Defenders, v1 #29, she existed as a merged/composite being with Stakar (Starhawk)

Celebrating the release of the Thunderbolts film -
Day #19 - Fixer/Techno

Would I purchase? YES and YES
Classic Fixer with some sort or devices affixed to his suit such as pictures #1 or 2 would be a Day #1 instant purchase. Put him in a 2-pack with Mentallo or classic fin helmet Moonstone.
Bald T-bolts Techno with a lot of cool weapons and gear would also be a Day #1 instant purchase, alternative head with hair and the headband would be fun to include.

Another classic character that should have been made in the past 20+ years

I’d enthusiastically take both classic Fixer and Techno, preferably in his debut Thunderbolts look with giant tec-pac accessory.
 
Heck yeah! A Fixer with tech vest, &
Techno, human form, with tech pack and assorted attachments, would both be desirable purchases.
 
EquiNOx
Grizzly is just a head sculpt away from done. Yes.
Starfox is the huge resounding YES
Techno is a big YES as well.
 
Classic Fixer is a yes, mostly for the sake of a complete "Under Siege" MOE line-up. He's definitely the character from that group I'd be least enthused about picking up, but I'd still dig having him.

Techno is probably a pass in this environment: they've waited so long to complete the T-Bolts that I've lost my enthusiasm for them. I've also been scaling my collection & displays back, and don't really have anything post-Onslaught/ Heroes Reborn out.
