So why not a wishlist?

With exams here, I won't have time to make a full-on post for the next couple of weeks. So just to stay in the swing of things, here's the top five non-existent bits of comic and pop merchandise I really want to see exist. In no particular order:

1) Warren Ellis Thunderbolts Omnibus: Not that there's anything wrong with the two volumes of his run currently out, but to have them both in a single edition would be nifty, especially since they're essentially one big story. It would probably be more akin to one of the oversized hardcovers Marvel used to put out a lot more frequently.

2) 6-inch NECA figures: NECA has some of the best movie and horror licenses around, but uses a scale that no one else in the action figure industry does. Hannibal Lector should not tower over Batman, you know?

3) Marvel Premiere Origin of the Hobgoblin: Since the original trade is over fifteen years old, it'd be nice to have a new edition available of the only remaining major Spider-Man story I haven't read.

4) Re-release the Cassie Cain Batgirl figure: Mattel's re-released every other major figure from their DC Superheroes line into the DC Universe line, except this one. And seeing as it goes for $50+ on eBay, it'd be nice for it to be available in soem other venue.

5) Marvel Legends Dark Avengers: Well, at least Iron Patriot and Moonstone; the Venom and Bullseye figures I have are fine. But the recent Green Goblin by Hasbro is a big pile of fail, and I'd like something else to fill the hole in my much-reduced collection.

At least that last one has a chance of happening.

  1. I'm very surprised Marvel hasn't released a deluxe hardcover of EllisBolts, given how it directly set up their entire 2009 line's direction.
