Sometimes as toy collectors, we can look across our displays and only see the toys that aren\u2019t there. They are the missing figures. The characters toy companies never got around to, never thought were important enough, or worse \u2013 the figures companies felt the need to show us at comicon in the \u201cWe\u2019re Never Gonna Make These\u201d case. Saturdays are for these figures\u2026 <\/p>\n
This week is a request from the “We’re Never Gonna Make These” case. During this year\u2019s SDCC, Hasbro revealed 18 Marvel Legends and allowed fans to choose a top three via online poll. When the results came in, I was lucky enough to have one of my choices make the cut (Valkyrie), but, like a stake through the heart of diversity, the other two top-spots were taken by figures that were already in the line. I won’t fault anyone who voted for Deadpool, but high eBay prices on the last one really didn’t justify his place as to the top vote-getter to me. That ML6 Deadpool is a great figure and a new Hasbro one will have to work very hard to top it. For Black Widow – well, that last figure wasn’t that great, but I still think we lost an opportunity to show the big companies we want some of the lesser known characters. For this article, we’re making the case for one of the 15 figures that didn’t make the cut, Doctor Voodoo.<\/p>\n

We took our very own straw poll here at IAT and Brother Voodoo came out on top for this article’s focus. But this article can apply to any character from the SDCC Marvel Legends poll that lost out. Personally, I am crushed by being that close to Fantomex, Classic Ms. Marvel, and Constrictor. I don’t like when a company shows off figures that I can\u2019t buy, even if they’re just “internal customs\u201d. That’s one of the reasons this feature exists. I’m still perturbed with Hasbro over the Sigma 6 Joseph Colton (& Gorilla). And now Hasbro has shown us a dozen figures that aren’t going to reach store shelves.<\/P><\/p>\n
The reason it’s just a dozen is because Hasbro will choose three more out of the fifteen to be paired up with the winners in the two packs. I’m not sure who they’ll pick. I imagine the McGuinness Hulk can pair up with Valkyrie. Wishful thinking tells me Fantomex could come with Deadpool, but I haven’t got a good guess for Black Widow’s two-pack partner.<\/P><\/p>\n
So, I nominate Doctor Voodoo. Why? Cause he’s the Sorcerer Supreme. He’s making a big comeback in the comics right now (remember when I was talking about lead time yesterday?). And, well, because we can.<\/p>\n
If you’re not familiar with Doctor Voodoo, well he just got a promotion from being Brother Voodoo and maybe you\u2019ve heard of him. Brother Voodoo was created in 1973 and appeared frequently in the Marvel Horror titles during the mid 1970s. Originally, Jericho Drumm was a United States-educated psychologist that returned to his native Haiti to find his twin brother, Daniel, on the verge of death, murdered by another houngan. Jericho ends up merged with his twin brother’s soul and becomes a houngan himself after some intense training. He confronts his brother’s killer (with his brother’s help) and then goes on to protect his homeland from mystic attack. <\/P><\/p>\n
Voodoo’s use declined with those horror titles, but he’s usually somewhere to be found in the big Marvel crossovers. Heck, he even was replaced by a Skrull. Then, with Doctor Strange sort of “abusing the office” during CW\/WWH\/SI, the Eye of Agamotto left him and the search for a new Sorcerer Supreme began. The Eye ends up with Brother Voodoo, making him Doctor Voodoo.<\/P><\/p>\n
Now, you might be saying that he doesn’t qualify as a “legend”, but I say that we can’t take the names of these comic toylines that seriously. Not every DC Classic has to be a “classic”, nor does every Marvel Legend have to be a “legend”. If that were the case, we’d have wave after wave of the same handful of characters. And even if we may vote against diversity, I think we can all agree one of the great things about these lines is that the lower-tier heroes get a chance to sneak out with the Batmen, Iron Men, Supermen, and Spideys.<\/P><\/p>\n
It’s likely that Hasbro has already selected which three figures will share those two-packs, but we’re taking a stab at suggesting Brother Voodoo for inclusion as one of the other halves anyway. If it is too late, then we’ll campaign for his placement in the next round of two-packs.<\/P><\/p>\n
But which one of the remaining fifteen figures do you still want to see? Here’s the list:<\/p>\n
Fantomex, Hulk (McG), Brother Voodoo, Warpath (X-Force), Ms. Marvel (Classic), Havok (Modern), Terror, Inc., Constrictor, Madrox, Paper Bag Man, Phoenix (White), Nuke, Wolverine (X-Force), Lady Bullseye, and Bi-Beast. <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[18,10],"tags":[328,329,2575,2563,2560],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pObc6-ze","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2890,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=2890","url_meta":{"origin":2184,"position":0},"title":"Most Requested Year-End Poll: Choose Your Own","date":"December 18, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"This year, we've featured eighteen Most Requested articles.
