One A Day 2.0: Day #292 - Nocturne

[fingfangfoom]

I'd buy them all. I love the idea of these international heroes.

 

[fac]

Somewhat on-topic, I never read the miniseries, is it any good? I don't get the sense any of these characters did much afterwards...

 

[Thor-El]

Fully in for the international Contest characters. I've always liked them all and would happily add them to my shelves.

And @fac , it's "of its time", as they say, but still a fun, solid, and enjoyable read. Lots of great characters in it.

Instantaneous, first day available yes to all of the international heroes introduced in the first Contest of Champions. Would prefer original costumes but would also pick up later looks for Le Peregrine and Collective Man.

Agree. The other cool thing about it I loved as a kid were the pages in the back that listed literally every Marvel hero that existed up to that point with some brief info about them. Unlike subsequent hyped-up claims to contain "every hero", this actually does it. Also, I think pretty much every currently active superhero at the time does get seen on panel in the story.

Great box set potential.

 

[TFitz]

Even I barely know most of those. I'd likely be a pass on all except Arabian Knight.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Ha ha makes me think of non-US dubs of the GI Joe theme song: “INTERNAAAAAAATIONAL HEROOOOOOES!!”


Totally would buy all these guys.

 

[puckace]

I'm a sucker for international competitions. Loved all these characters in the Contest of Champions. Bring em on!

I'd buy figures of these characters if they were to get made, but they're not ones that I'm lobbying to get made.

Day #291 - Genis-Vell

Would I buy? I'd buy almost all of his looks
Which version? Update the Legends figure first, then we'll go from there.

Yet another figure in need of an update.

 

[fingfangfoom]

That ToyBiz Genis Vell is one of the ancient hold-outs that's still in my collection.
Definitely worth an upgrade in that look: starfield within the classic Mar-Vell costume

 

[Chooch555]

First look, ChrisCross look, update, and Thunderbolts looks for me.

 

[NORM]

yes to GV

 

[DetectiveHoag]

Yes, and Marvel, please, please settle on a name for him, and quit stealing Monica Rambeau’s codenames for him.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Yep, gimme Genis.
Starfield suit with Clooney cut for the win.
