One A Day 2.0: Day #279 Guest Starring renfield75 - Arkon

[tasmaniantwister]

Perez Beast is a big want. Same thing for the red and blue human form graduation suit, especially by Neal Adams. Would likely pick up human form first costume and X-Factor version.

 

[puckace]

Perez Beast is a day one purchase. Otherwise, I'm happy with the Beast's I already have.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

Of course the Perez beast. The Adams beast. And the OG first appearance beast.

This.

 

[RichardSimmonsRobot]

I always wondered why people argue for/against Asian/Non-Asian Psylocke, and for/against for 90s vs. Cat Beast. No one ever argues they want human looking pre-furry days Beast back.

Day #278 - Beast (alternate looks)

I'd buy these. We already know we're getting an X97 Animated one.

 

[Misfit]

I think we're going to get a lot of these Beasts and fairly soon (1-2 years). We know we're getting a 97 one and they'll probably do new, pinless, parts which could then be reused for a lot of variants. And with X-Factor Cyke and Jean already a thing, human Beast seems like a matter of time.

 

[Piffy]

Perez and X-Factor are the only Beasts I *need*, but I only say that because they haven't made any 1st Class figures yet. If I know I can get all five OG, I'll take that look, too.

Not a damned thing on this planet could ever get me to buy a single black leather look, though. I absolutely loathe that entire run.

 

[Thor-El]

And with X-Factor Cyke and Jean already a thing, human Beast seems like a matter of time.

Here's hoping! Because like others have said that's one step closer to a classic Mimic figure as well.

 

[Resilient]

Perez Beast - PLEASE HASBRO.

Day #279 Guest Starring renfield75 - Arkon

Would I buy? YES!
Which version? Classic

Thundra is lonely.
I always forget that Arkon has interacted with so many groups. I many have to move him up on my Top 100 list.
Maybe an Arkon/Thundra (new She-Hulk body) 2-pack?

 

[NORM]

Is Arkon a bad guy? How come he fights all these good guy teams? Are they all classic misunderstandings that lead to team ups?

Arkon

Is Arkon a bad guy? How come he fights all these good guy teams? Are they all classic misunderstandings that lead to team ups?

He's not really a bad guy. The energy source for his homeworld/dimension was diminishing. He was seeking new energy sources which led him to Earth. At least some of his stories end up being the misunderstanding, eventual team-ups you referenced. If I recall correctly, the X-Men story involves him wanting Storm for his consort.

 

[tasmaniantwister]

Definitely want Handbook Arkon. He'd be a first day available pick-up. He should come with the depicted lightning bolts and the lightning insignia shield.

 

[Misfit]

Normally I'm a sucker for characters who appeared in the X-Men cartoon, but I have a strong dislike for that two-parter so I'd give Arkon a pass.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Definitely yes to Arkon.
