Oh, funny thing: I bought 11 or 12 of those little guys in Strasbourg; they added quite a bit of weight to my suitcase on the way home.

Does anyone think they'll keep going long enough to do Alpha Flight? I guess readership outside of people like us will fall off as the characters become more and more obscure.
I'd love to see them produce some 'supporting cast'! JJ Jameson, Aunt May, Mary-Jane, Jarvis, Foggy Nelson, etc. Never gonna happen though. How about some Marvel animals? Lockjaw would be cool! Ooo, and Zabu! Perhaps a Ka-Zar / Zabu special edition?

Not sure I'd be all that interested in seeing civilian characters -- Jonah, MJ, Aunt May, etc -- but I do hope they continue with this series until they have exhausted the Marvel (and now DC) characters. I won't mind at all waiting thru a few duds (already have!) if some obscure little gem is coming along eventually. Bring on the Invicible Man! Bring on Paste Pot Pete!

I wish they'd do some characters in their classic Silver or Bronze Age looks, like the Black Widow, Iron Man, Storm, etc. Some of the modern costumes aren't to my taste; the Storm figurine, for example, isn't "my Storm."

I agree Thomas, the Storm figurine just isn't Storm. They should revert to a 'classic' or iconic look where a character is now wearing short term, modern garb. Having said that, "My Storm" had a mohican and I'd love to see that made but would be more than happy with the Cockrum/JB's version.

*****************************************
I've seen Guardian rumored to be a figure before they hit number 100.
Q&A with one of the Eaglemoss guys. Spoilers regarding new figures!

Ryan, let's hope so! If they've made Captain Britain they should be making Guardian! And then we're on the slippery slope to Sasquatch, Puck, Shaman, Snowbird, Aurora, Northstar, Marina!! Yes!

You will, Aric...you will...perhaps Midtown will give you the first one for free, just to see if you like them.

Yeah, Puck would be like 3cm (1inch) tall. I've been modelling one myself, he's miniscule! I was anticipating that they won't release AF, but if they're doing Guardian I'll give up modelling and start petitioning for the rest of the team!
