One A Day 2.0: Day #290 - Contest of Champions characters - Arabian Knight I, Blitzkrieger, Collective Man, Defensor, Peregrine & Talisman

Spider-Man: India/Pavitr Prabhakar would be a purchase for me.

We need a team of heroes that are disillusioned by their governments that ban together.

And Flag Smasher would lead them.

And since this has inadvertently turned into an Arabian Knight entry, I, too would get the original Arabian Knight.

While I'm not pining for another Spider-man India, he is one of the few Spider-verse characters that I wouldn't mind picking up. He'd be a good baf choice if Hasbro is still allowing Spider characters in those waves. Arabian Knight and any other Contest of Champions heroes from another country are all a yes for me.

I'd probably pick up Spider Man India, the Spiderverse comic versions are a fun little display all together.

My bad - I made that steer.

As penance, I’ll buy Spider-Man India if they make a comic one. He’s far more likely than AK anyway.

I think I would pass on Spider-Man India.

 

[KAILRYU]

I'd take a Crossing Scarlet Witch, although if she gets another figure anytime soon I really would prefer it was an MCU Age of Ultron version.

Silhouette is a character I'm unfamiliar with so easy pass but could see her being done well enough I'd get if it wasn't just a repaint of the generic blank body.

Spider-Man India is a hard pass unless the quality of the baggy pants makes for decent custom fodder.

Don’t misinterpret. That wasn’t a complaint. Just an observation. Besides, I think we saved @Beamish an actual Arabian Knight entry.

Day #290 - Contest of Champions characters - Arabian Knight I, Blitzkrieger, Collective Man, Defensor, Peregrine & Talisman

Would I buy? I'd buy all of them
Which version? Classic

Just giving the public what they want...

Arabian Knight I

Blitzkrieger

Collective Man

Defensor

Peregrine

Talisman

 

[PantherCult]

I would also buy all of them! I had an unhealthy love of this mini-series when it came out. I enjoyed it disproportionate to its actual quality.

I want all the figures, but in order of preference:

Arabian Knight
Sabra
Shamrock
Collective Man
Talisman
Peregrine
Defensor
Blitzkrieg

Also still needed from that book: Vanguard, Captain Britain in original costume, classic Falcon (he's on the cover of #1, I'm counting him)

 

[Ultra Seven]

I'd absolutely love this group of characters, even though basically none of them have made more than a handful of appearances since. Arabian Knight & Peregrine are priorities.

"Contest of Champions" was sort of my yardstick for a long time of every character I would need to have in order to consider my collection of Marvel heroes "complete."

 

[DetectiveHoag]

Yes to the whole lot. Marvel could really do an annual wave of international characters. There’s a wealth of characters from all across the globe yearning to be done:
Cap. Britain, Megan, Shamrock , Le Peregrine, Heroes of Paris, Vormund, Blitzkrieger, Omertà, Prodigy, Scarlet Scarab, Black Brigade, Winter Guard/People’s Protectorate, China Force, Three Peace, Talisman, Junta, Dreamguard, Defensor, Big Hero 6, Arabian Knight, Razar, Veil, Sirrocco, Sabra, El Aquila, Amendi, Box, Talisman, Wildheart, Persuasion, Mannequin, Goblyn, Master of the World, Muerto, Toltec, Pete Wisdom, MicroMax, Captain Forsa, Spitfire, Kylunn, Feron, Triumph Division, Kristoff, Haven, Man-Ape, Witchfire, Nemesis, Brain Drain, Ursula, Doctor Doom, Presence, Starlight, Remont 4/Remont 6, Silver Sable, Bloodwraith, Black Panther, Genoshin Magistrates, Savage Land Mutates, La Bandera,
That should mire than enough to get started.

 

[TheGillMan]

Honestly, I'd have to pass. They're cool, but I don't have the space or money to delve into this subset.

 

[BasilElks]

I'd get them all. Arabian Knight 1 is one of my most wanted.

Narrator: It did not, in fact, save Beamish from doing an Arabian Knight entry.
