One A Day 2.0: Day #282 - Grandmaster, a Tribute to Sal Buscema

A little behind -

Beast - definitely could use human beast, and as PantherCult and others noted, Hasbro could get multiple figures out of it - Training Suit, Graduation, X-Factor and Mimic (I will note that I am a little surprised we haven't gotten more Angel variants, so maybe the older X-Men are not as much of a draw...?)

Arkon - not sure, probably would pass.

Vengeance - yes, with his bike.

Red Ghost - despite being an FF fan, can't say I would be that excited for him. But if we got Mikhlo, Peotr and Igor - sure!
 
Red Ghost is a big need. No idea how they’d manage the apes (if they can pack in a baboon, I might be able to find the others), but I’d be all over a deluxe set of all of them, with a few bonus power effects.

I’d buy Vengeance, though Toybiz’s version stands up, and I wouldn’t be sad about keeping it.

I wonder if this could be a Made-to-Order set, because I'd pre-order such a set on day one! I'm sure a gorilla has some reuse potential (Gorilla Man/Men, anyone?), but I understand how the orangutan and baboon would be harder to justify outside of a MTO set. Fortunately, some tooling dollars could be saved by reusing Red Skull/Dormammu body parts. which could be used on the apes themselves.
 
I want Red Ghost SO much. In fact, this is the year he enters my top 10 wants. I'd love it if he came with some Super Apes, but in case he doesn't I have the NECA Luca and Maurice figures ready to stand in for Mikhlo and Peotor... I feel like the NECA Caesar is a little big to be Yaroslav and we don't have a good Baboon figure to be Igor...

So yes... huge definite yes for Red Ghost.

I bought Maurice YEARS ago, whenever it was first released, to have him ready as a Super-Ape in case Hasbro or I ever got around to making Red Ghost. I finally sold him a few years back, resigning myself to the fact that I wasn't a customizer, and that he'd probably look a little too realistic next to the ML style anyway. I'm banking on the fact that Red Ghost without his crew is lame, and hoping that when they make him they'll go for the whole set.
