Rock The Marvel Universe Vote
Over on Hasbro.com Hasbro is giving fans a chance to vote on adding some of their favorite heroes to the Marvel Universe line up (the 3 3/4ths scale Marvel figures). Voting ends March 5th and on March 16th they’ll announce the top five characters that will immortalized into plastic.
Now remember when voting kids, if you pick a figure that’s fairly popular they’ll probably will make it anyway. For example, Psylocke will eventually make it in plastic form with or without your vote. Save your votes for obscure characters so they have a chance to shine!
Here’s my top five that are duking it out for my vote:
1. Cosmic Spider-Man (I’m thinking it’s misspelled as “comic Spider-Man” at the time of this writing): I’m lame and I know he’s just a repaint, but I have to vote for this guy. The cosmic storyline obsessed me in my youth.
2. Dagger: Why? I don’t know. She’s a hottie in a white costume and I like her. I’ve never cared much for Cloak and while not having both of them wouldn’t make much sense, I don’t care. I have faith that if they made one, fans would bitch until they eventually caved and made the other.
3. Archangel: The only time I’ve ever found Angel worth a damn was when he had metal wings. I realize this might break my advice above, but screw it.
4. Constrictor: I like crappy villains and I’ve always dug his costume.
5. Hellfire Soldiers: This is a no brainer army builder that would make an excellent addition to this line.
And there you have it, the best picks ever unless you think you can somehow top that and I’d like to see you try!
Oh yeah, if you vote for the Beyonder I will slap you across the breasts be you male or female.

There are other toy sections here other than GI JOE??? wow.
Okay my picks.
Archangel, because it would just be rad.
Magik, even though they will chicken out and not make a modern one.
Gladiotor, his head would be a fast repaint for a custom dreadnok
Madrox, Lets have a hard to find army builder right a way to drive sales.
Cloak, Mostly so he can gain popularity because he is so underrated. The figure would look awesome.

Hellfire Soldiers - Duh.

Fantomex - Cool looking character that I think would also tranfer well to the Joe world.
Starlord - About time and GotG is consistently kicking ass. Will need a Rocket Raccoon pack in though.
Havok - Just like the guy and here’s hoping for a light-up feature with the new suit design.
Tigershark - Interesting, “vintage” character look.
Brother Voodoo - It’s BROTHER EFFING VOODOO!!
