15 Marvel Superheroes Who Somehow Don’t Have Action Figures Yet.

 

Its a big day for me!  Kevin Hellions on the front page of one of the world’s biggest geek sites.  My list is featured on Topless Robot today.  Originally 10, then expanded to 20, and published as 15 (which means maybe one day you all can see the unedited list).  It was a pleasure to write the column, to communicate with Topless Robot, and to see my words up there today.

From Toy Biz’s impressively wide-ranging Spider-Man andX-Men toylines of the ’90s to the Marvel Legends that dominated the ’00s, it may be hard to believe that there are any Marvel superheroes left without action figure representation. However, with thousands of characters and the need for five variations of Spider-Man in every toyline (one of which is usually water skiing or something) there are more than a few heroes and villains that have fallen through the action figure cracks. Here are 15 Marvel characters that desperately need toys. Some are new, some are old; some are heroes, some are villains and some have been around for so long they’ve been both (sometimes multiple times).

Please note: We’re not counting Heroclix here; they’re fun, but they aren’t action figures. Also, if a toy was made of a character, no matter how old and/or terrible that toy was, it’s not on this list. So there’s no need to tell us we forgot ROM, because we didn’t. But you’re welcome to tell us what Marvel toys you’re missing in your collection in the comments.
