One A Day 2.0 Day #449 - Black Mamba

I always get confuzzled because I know there was some sports guy who they called “Black Mamba”, not sure if it was self-chosen or an insult.
 
Absolutely yes to Black Mamba and the rest of the Serpents! I'd prefer classic Handbook but could live with the more modern take (which we're probably more likely to get anyway)

Kobe Bryant called himself Black Mamba because of his killer, relentless instincts on the court. And that's about the extent of my basketball knowledge lol

Classic eighties handbook look, please and thank you. Definitely one of my most wanted Serpents, along with her BAD Girls Inc. teammates Asp and Diamondback.

A three-pack of them would stop me complaining about the lack of new serpents in the line for a good, long while. Then I'd start up again about Death Adder, Sidewinder, and Anaconda.

This. An instant and enthusiastic “Hell yes!” to Black Mamba.
 
It's funny, every time we do a most-wanted poll I just reshuffle like four or five Serpent Society members for variety. Mamba's one of my most-wanted but honestly, they could release two Serpents a year and they'd get my money every time. I'm the jackass who keeps voting for a Bushmaster BAF every year.

The dude who “famous-guy”’d his way out of being held accountable for sexual assault, right? Still beloved despite being a rapist piece of shit, mostly because he died in a copter crash, right before COVID I believe?
*That” is the extent of *my* sports knowledge.

Anyway; yay Serpent Society.

Glass half-full for me is that with the strides they've made with articulation on female bucks the past few years, if/ when Hasbro gets around to the BAD Girls, they'll be much better figures than they would have been even a couple years ago.

It's funny, if we'd gotten our wish early we'd have Diamondback on that old spindly female buck they used for everyone for years, but now we might get her on a Widow buck and Mamba on something closer to the new Psylocke or something.

Exactly this. And it wouldn't be able to hit half the poses you'd want for her. I'd probably be campaigning for a redo like I am with Hellcat, who is creeping toward my top ten because of how lame the old figure looks next to her teammates.

Hellcat is very close to the top of my "got a lot of good years out of this figure but needs an update" list.
