Marvel Legends X-Force Retro Cards Coming Soon?

[@PhoeboBuffay]

Domino in her purple attire,and long hair. That's the Dom we need.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I do still need a domino in my collection so I could go for that look.

[@jasonmisla3405]

Marrow was indeed part of X-Force, but not the 90's version. She was in the 4th version of the book back in 2014. Her uniform was very different from what we all would want, but having her there is technically correct.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah I kind of realized maybe she wouldn’t be the best fit while editing so maybe it would be better if we saw her on the regular xmen card.

[@T3COLLECTS]

Rob Liefeld's X-Force with some new tooling, pinless bodies and make it 7 figure wave Cable, Domino, Shatterstar, Feral, Warpath, Sunspot & Cannonball or maybe 3 heroes and 3 villains for wave 1 and same for wave 2

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think those would all look awesome to display in box together.

[@T3COLLECTS]

@@thestrongcollectors that's what I'm saying making it a box set

[@privateprivate31337]

I think if we get an X-Force series we would probably see Kane and more MLF villains. But rereleases of Rictor or Domino feels like a lock. I think it's too soon for another cable but I wouldn't know who would anchor it. Probably another Deadpool

[@thestrongcollectors]

True we do have a few cables and I would guess there will be an xmen 97 version coming in the next wave as well.

[@joehauptfleisch3967]

I feel like this line would be a great opportunity for some MLF figures. Guys we saw a lot of, like Tempo, Wildside and Reaper. Strobe would be an easy re-use of a body. Reaper could go on a Black Tom body. Garrison Kane and G. W. Bridge, Giddeon

[@thestrongcollectors]

Those are great ideas. I feel like reaper and wild side would be perfect candidates

[@dirki5339]

Warpath and X-23 in black/grey (and with knives for Warpath).

[@thestrongcollectors]

I agree we could use an update of warpath but I don’t think that costume would fit the retro card. Maybe a baf wave or a 2 pack.

[@demetricsmith471]

1. Fully-powered Sunspot 2. Buzzcut Cannonball 3. Feral 4. Tempo (MLF) 5. 90's Cable 6. Shatterstar I think Exodus would be a nice figure for a 2 pack. He feels too deluxe for a retro card. I would love to have a full line of X-Force vs. the Mutant Liberation Front. Hasbro doesn't go very deep into the rogues gallery of any X-title. I honestly wish that the "bring on the bad guys" theme was a yearly event. They could do X-Men this year and Avengers next year. If the build-a-figure is good, the rest of the figures are guaranteed to sell.🤷🏽‍♂️

[@thestrongcollectors]

I would love if that was a yearly wave. I thought the xemnu was excellent.

[@demetricsmith471]

@@thestrongcollectors I absolutely agree with u. I don't even have to know the characters in the wave if the build-a-figure is top notch. I had never seen Xemnu battle the Hulk. I just vaguely recalled him from an issue of She-Hulk that featured Razorback.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah i think the only time i had seen or heard of Xemnu was from the Marvel Encyclopedia.

[@teresaravenshaw5477]

You can't make a 90s Cable and expect it to stand up without a stand. Just because the feet would be wee tiny things!

[@thestrongcollectors]

if it were true to Rob's art that would be true. But i think they'd fix the proportions for a figure.

[@teresaravenshaw5477]

I want more Excalibur and New Mutants - and not some Amazon or Walgreens exclusive things. Walgreens is something like the American version of Boots, right?

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think they are all done with Walgreens exclusives. It never made sense to me why they would have exclusive figures in the first place. I'm not sure what Boots is but Walgreens is a pharmacy/convince store.

[@soulcraft_84]

Give me Exodus and ALL the Acolytes!

[@thestrongcollectors]

Once they start acolytes I hope it wouldn’t take too long to get a good number. I feel like that’s a team that could take a while though.

[@soulcraft_84]

We need that Domino in purple from X-Force 23, which is also the one the old Toy Biz toy is based on.

[@thestrongcollectors]

That would be perfect for the retro card.

[@tomfin-wo5vc]

Not really hankerin’ for retro carded X-Force figures. That’s the one of the few X-Teams that I just could never seem to get into, and they’ve been fairly well represented. Far be it from me to spoil anyone else’s fun though, especially after receiving Count Nefaria and Whiplash the last two days.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah I don’t know how many of these we would need either but I kind of like when the make cool figures that aren’t for me. Saves me money and I’m happy to see them out in the world.

[@Lee86THUNDER]

90's cable is needed

[@LosMSR]

Dan Yun hinted that he is on wave 3 of X97.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I’m surprised we haven’t got an animated version of him yet but I’m sure we will at some point

[@soulcraft_84]

We could use a Shatterstar in the Orange suit like the old Toy Biz toy!

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think if they did him that would be the look I’d expect

[@alecovan2856]

I'm hoping for a grizzly and killspree

[@thestrongcollectors]

Me too. I feel like they aren’t as likely because they are more of a deep cut and probably need more tooling but we can always dream.

[@soulcraft_84]

They could put Warpath on a wider/bigger body. He was large in the comics.

[@thestrongcollectors]

True but you don’t want him to be as big as hulk right?

[@genericyoutubechannel3790]

I don't want them putting non-1980s/1990s costumes on these cards. Them doing so with the Spider-Man ones is so annoying, so i dont want a black leather suit Domino. We already got one in the Sasquatch wave, and its not very interesting to look at. But instead of retro cards, id rather have them rerelease the Riktor/Domino/Cannonball set since Hasbro's been reissuing figures, and those are impossible to get. Id like to see a New Mutants 5 pack with the original team members. Would be cool to see some of the later New Mutants characters since New Mutantas was relaunched into X-Force, which continued the story.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah we aren’t a fan of the Spider-Man retro cards adding non retro figures. Seems like a cheap way to get out of making a baf.

[@shanehai2699]

I would like a retro-carded wave or two for X-Force... some solid options could be: 1) Cable 2) Domino 3) Richter 4) Feral 5) Kane 6) Shatterstar 7) Cannonball (WITH LEGS & Blast) but because of the card standard might be a regular line re-issue type figure...🤔 8) Reignfire (aka future villain Sunspot) 9) Sunspot (powered up) 10) Grizzly 11) G.W. Bridge 12) Exodus (although he and some Acolytes would be better X-Men villains) 13) Moonstar 14) Forearm 15) Wildside 16) Reaper 17) Phantasm (?) 18) Gideon Thereare several more MLF members and a Sixpack team member or 2 that I'm forgetting besides Cable, Domino, Kane, Grizzly, and Bridge... I would love to get a Marrow, Exodus, Acolytes, and several others in an X-Men wave or 3, including a freaking RED costume with yellow 'X' version of Jean Grey from X-Factor 1.5 to finish that team... and a pre-Apocalypse X-Factor Caliban with regular and helmet heads...

[@thestrongcollectors]

Those are all great ideas.

[@popzeus3000]

I personally want the Milligan/Allred version of the team (X-Statix) but it seems that no one else wants it besides me. We got a Toy Biz Doop with Deadpool but that’s it. The team looks weird and toyetic in design. Perfect for toys with retro cards

[@thestrongcollectors]

They would probably work best on retro cards but I don’t know if they have enough popularity to sell.

[@popzeus3000]

@@thestrongcollectors and that is the real travesty! Some of the best X-comics to come out in the last 30 years and hardly anyone has read them…

Never really read xforce since i stopped reading comics in the 80's so i really dont have any suggestions even though i have xforce wolverine since i like the colors . I guess colossus and cable would look nice in those costumes .

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah we could use some more of the modern x force looks but probably not on the retro card.

[@scottreadscomics148]

I just started reading X-Men and X-Force so I don’t have much to contribute, but I think a Domino would be pretty cool.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I feel like she’s the perfect candidate for the super articulate body.

[@slibertas1996]

Cannonball in his blue and gold suit

[@thestrongcollectors]

I feel like he makes sense I just wonder how well he’d sell.

[@LosMSR]

According to REK, Professor X, and Quicksilver are retro, I guess Rachel might be retro too. Don't know about the others of the wave.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Rachel on the retro card would be interesting. Didn’t he say age was going to be deluxe?

[@LosMSR]

@@thestrongcollectors He only said Phoenix is on the way.

[@DantesToyz]

Winner winner chicken dinner! Keep up the great work!

[@thestrongcollectors]

Congrats. Comic and capsule coming your way!

[@ryanwillard9192]

Space Cable was a great looking fig back in the day. A new one on retro card would be killer!

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think each wave had a cable right?

[@ryanwillard9192]

@@thestrongcollectors it looks like there were officially 5 editions then moved to a name classification with “urban assault”. 2 & 3 are tops for me.

[@dead_end_86]

I've been screaming for EXODUS since the first X-men retro figs. Cosplaying him is reason I am working out so hard lol

[@thestrongcollectors]

He would be the best on retro card. I’ve got high hopes he’s coming.

[@dead_end_86]

@@thestrongcollectors ugh soon needs to be up for preorder already

[@robertfalcone3025]

Id appreciate a Retro Card version of Cannonball .. the 3 Pack version is WAY too expensive on the aftermarket...

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah it seemed like that 3 pack went crazy from the start and that was back when hasbro was making a lot of figures and a lot were going on sale.

[@manimalautoman]

OMG please. I'd love X-Force retros so much. So desperate for a Grizzly and Forearm. I'm also desperate for a Mimic on a side note.

[@thestrongcollectors]

If they did four arms I’d be very tempted to get him. I just love the idea of him.

[@puffpuffpassmako]

Imo i think we'll see Shatterstar as hes in need of an update from his last figure which came out years ago. I also think we're getting a new X Force costume Wolverine as he's getting a ton of love lately

[@privateprivate31337]

Yeah we could use a new SS with a screaming head. The old one looked so bored

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah I thought the old shatter star was a good figure but now if they did pinless with butterfly joints he’d be awesome.

[@DantesToyz]

Thank you so much gents! The comic Gods were looking out, keep up the great work! I will reach out to you via email

[@thestrongcollectors]

Congrats!

[@hawesM73]

A Rictor is a must, The og is very expensive now and is an OG Xforce member and a New Shatter Star

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah they really could put him out as a single rictor.

[@JayWoods483]

Great video guys. Thanks for the discussion. A Domino and Shatterstar would look very nice if ML produced them with the updated bucks.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Agreed. The older figures are good but they could be even better.

[@JayWoods483]

@@thestrongcollectors Would you agree that each time a character gets a new variant, that whatever parts used are the latest?

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think it depends. Like with wolverine, even though the xmen97 one is pinless, I really didn't like it. Idk if it was the head being too cartoony but when I opened it I pretty much sold it right away for retail or less. Same with Jordan. So I would have wanted figures on the same older body the VHS one was on for him at least. With someone like Spiderman, it wouldn't matter if it was the version of him i had been dreaming of for years, if they put it on the retro pizza body i wouldn't buy it on clearance. so some yes, some no.

[@JayWoods483]

@@thestrongcollectors thanks. I'm rather disenchanted with the older parts (some as old as a decade - enough of the Spidey-strands and Kirby-crackle already) still being utilized then sold at today's prices. The ladies have been the most sinned against.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I agree on the ladies. Single joints for a normal figure needs to stop.

[@T3COLLECTS]

They already have an updated Stryfe from the Amazon set so put him on a retro card and he'll sell.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I agree. Especially when he was the one people wanted from that pack

[@Weskersixx]

Hoping for the red suit shatter star and feral..🤞

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think both of those are quite likely. Feral has to be a given right?

[@jwuzy3743]

i did a custom kitbash using the old leather domino figure and the new black widow body turned out pretty awesome

[@thestrongcollectors]

It seems like it wouldn’t be hard for hasbro to do that. It doesn’t have to be wildly different from the black widow figure.

[@jwuzy3743]

@@thestrongcollectors yeah, it would be epic if they would utilize that black widow body more often kinda sucks how all the female figures we get are incapable of Dynamic poses

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think as time goes on we'll see more and more super articulated female characters. it's still a decently new mold.

[@constantineholmes]

It’s “for you and me” not “for you and I”. If you remove “you and”, you can’t say “for I”.

good speculations team I got black Domino, but I d really like to have the white one I d like iceman, silver surfer, Dr doom, I m sure to get og nick fury now. mysterio, green goblin, I admit my list is getting shorter, the og leader and some synth creatures. I d really want aim - Hydra troops too. so now you know.. good show team

I need a good Mysterio. I’m sure they’ll make another. I just don’t want to pay for the retro.

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

@@thestrongcollectors yeah, I get some on clearance too, like I just picked Rogue, a great head for a shield agent I find. if it s my fav version, I ll pay full price, all I have are no compromise, new versions come out, and I m still content with them. cap am, iron man... not close. hey thanks bro

[@ladariusknight991]

The Domino from the 3 pack is technically “copycat” based off the costume
