Pass on Rachel Summers. No affection for the character. I'll get the others. Klaw is a fun villain, as is Batroc. I like Triton and want to have all the main Inhumans. Typhoid Mary was a great character introduced during Ann Nocenti's run with JRjr on DAREDEVIL. Depends on the sculpt, but the JRjr design is really cool.

If the sculpts are truly "classic", I'll definitely be picking up Triton, Batroc and Klaw.

Probably unlike many of you..I don't buy or read comics. I don't know most of these characters. However, as long as I have the space, and the characters keep looking cool..I will buy them! (Buying some of the DC characters has eaten into my Marvel space) Keep them coming!

Steve, can I ask why you buy these figures if you don't "buy or read comics"?

I buy them because they look cool. I like the various sculpts and colors of the characters and who should be grouped with who.

Picked up Taskmaster yesterday. Nice sculpt with plenty of detail (although I can't understand why Cap's shield is smaller than his).

Okay, I gotta ask JB - why no Quasar "in a million years!"?
I have no fondness or knowledge of the character beyond a few brief appearances, I'm just curious (and near totally ignorant of the guy).

Originally was the criminal Screaming Mimi. First appeared in the Project Pegusus story in MTU. Most people know her as one of the founding members of the Thunderbolts, now under the new name Songbird. Reformed criminal. "Before she burned out her original sonic powers, Melissa's cybernetically enhanced vocal cords could produce super-sonic screams causing effects such as disorientation, hallucinations or unconsciousness. She can still produce inaudible ultrasonic waves with which she can subtly influence the emotions and conduct of people around her. Her other current vocal powers only function in concert with her high-tech harness."
