RESULTS ARE IN! The Official Articulated Thoughts 2025 Top 10 Poll

Typically I try to “play fair” and suggest different figures that might have an appeal to lots of folks, but I’m being selfish this time…

1. Balder the Brave (Simonson armor)
2. Skurge the Executioner (classic)
3. Beta Ray Bill (Simonson)
4. Kurse (Simonson)
5. Karnilla
6. Lorelei
7. Loki (Simonson)
8. Heimdall (Coipel)
9. Dargo Ktor Thor
10. Zarrko the Tomorrow Man (crazy yellow and green costume)

BaF/Deluxe: Mangog

HasLab/Oversize: Surtur w/Twilight sword (Simonson)

Box set; Warriors Three (Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg)

Trust me, there’s plenty of Avengers-related figures and Serpent Society members I want as well.

All my costume preferences are from the mid-80s OHotMU guides, but I'll try to be descriptive since I don't feel like editing pictures today.

Wasp, in her yellow and black outfit with the high collar like she wore in Avengers: Under Siege.

A human-sized Absorbing Man

Mandarin in his bare-chested, tatted abs look.

Diablo, the Fantastic Four villain

Plantman in his full face mask and little cape that he wore when fighting the Defenders

Captain Britain in his original slimmer, lion-crested, magic baton-wielding suit.

Firebird (I'd originally wanted Phantom Rider as my Rangers rep, but Firebird was also associated with the West Coast Avengers and Rider needs a special type of release that includes Banshee)

Black Mamba, from the Serpent Society

An X-Men training costume boy, on a teen-sized buck, with multiple heads for Cypher, Sunspot and old-school Cyclops

An X-Men training costume girl, on a teen-sized buck, with multiple heads for Magik, Magma, Wolfsbane, Karma and Marvel Girl.

Deluxe / BAF - Annihilus

Maximum - Mr. Fantastic with swappable, stretchy arms and effects

Oversized/Haslab - Black Goliath on an 11" giant dude buck. I love both his old costumes, but if I had to pick one, let's say his original blue, high-collar one. If they also did his strappy chest costume from Two-in-One, I'd get both.

Boxed Set - New Mutants
While the training costume single figures I mentioned above would be the powered down version of most of the characters, the boxed set would be the more individualized characters or powered-up versions:

Mirage, with her distinctive Cheyenne belt and boots

Cannonball ('cause he needs to be taller than the others), maybe a blast effect but not if it's instead of legs.

Magma, all lava'd up

Sunspot, all-black with clip on Kirby dots

Wolfsbane in wolf hybrid form

That's five, which is typically the size of box sets, but if we're really pushing boundaries, let's include a partially-armored Magic with her soulsword. You know, the left arm and right thigh combo.

If they do Doom, it would be great to get a demonstrably Kristoff alternate head. Hard to believe they haven't exploited that as an option to date.
