It's funny - but a lot of people who vote will remember Onslaught etc from their childhood, yet to me he's a recent cheesy fad. On the other hand, for me Mr Sinister is a "classic villain" because he appeared when I was a kid getting into comics... for a lot of you guys though, he's some cheesy late era knockoff!

I think anytime anyone says "classic", they should type instead "When I was eight, this guy was cool.."

(I mean, I think Galvatron is one of the coolest comic characters ever... :-P)

For a "Classic Marvel" figurine collection, I am still surprized EM has not released a Conan the Barbarian and a Red Sonja figurine so far ...

Marvel do not have the license for these characters so they won't be part of the collection.

>Omega Red getting more votes than the Wasp or Sauron! The definition of
"classic" once more takes a beating.

Couldn't agree with you more JB! When I used to go on the figurine forum, I was always voting against characters like Omega Red but a lot of the people on there are the sort of guys who literally only know the X-Men and assorted spin-offs from the 90s onwards.

Agreed, there doesn't seem to be too many oldtimers like us over there :^)

I used most of my 10 votes on Alpha Flight characters, but I think only Northstar and Sasquatch had much of a showing.  I'd love a Terrax figure!

***********

Terrax would be great, but the base should be a stone (like the Abomination). Box would be cool too, but let's EM release Sasquatch first !

I'd cast my "vote" here against the variant bases. Keep 'em simple,
clean and classy!

Woo hoo!! New arrival via eBay.  The 2nd to last older figure I've been hunting for (until I need a fix and break down and get Daredevil, Storm, etc), just Colossus is left to find.  With shipping, I paid about what I would in the store with tax, so I'm very happy.

The only old figurine I need to find is Iron Man.  Passed on him originally because I didn't like the armor, now I kinda want him.

So you're the guy that outbid me by FIFTY CENTS!!!

Well played, sir...well played!

I'm down to nine "back issues"...the Goblin, Cap, Phoenix, Thor, Torch, Black Panther, She-Hulk, Nightcrawler & Shadowcat.  Plus Thanos & Colossus.
