Like hardcore violent, with lots of gore and blood.

Dream Waves: The Defenders

Happy Hump Day!!!!







What's up folks, welcome to another edition of Dream Waves, where I offer you the reader and hopefully Hasbro, a suggestion of a possible roster of figures for a particular themed wave.

This week, it's all about that beloved oddball team of heroes, The Defenders.

Defenders Wave 1:

1). Nighthawk


They made a Nighthawk figure for the smaller  Marvel Universe line, but not a 6 inch version for the Marvel Legends line. We NEED a Nighthawk figure. Do It Hasbro!!!!

2). Classic Valkyrie


The current modern version that was made in the Hulkbuster wave was pretty good, and they have made a classic version before as well, but not as good as they could've. Time to rectify that Hasbro.

3). Masked Dr. Strange


Yeah I know, we've already a shit ton of Dr. Strange figures being made, but not this one.

4). Damien Hellstorm


It really is waaaaay past time we got a Damien Hellstorm figure, so why not use this wave as a proper excuse. We'll go for the classic version first, then go for the modern version later.

5). Classic Hulk

We've had tons of Hulk figures in the past, but not too many that really captured the likeness of a Sal Buscema Hulk or a Gil Kane Hulk. Do it Hasbro!!!!!

6). Classic Green Trunks Namor


I didn't like the one we got in the FF  wave, so it's time for a true classic Namor figure to be made that a decent body buck.

7). Female Red Guardian/Elf With A Gun

Why not right? We got a the male version, so it'd make sense to make a female version since the female version used to be an actual member.

Oh, and she'll come with the infamous Elf with a Gun too!!!!!

BAF: Gargoyle

I think a character like the Gargoyle is PERFECT for a build-a-figure, so why not this one?

DC's Version of The Defenders

Happy Taco Tuesday!!!!








Thought I had a skit done in time for yesterday's post, but clicking on my blog, nothing.
Damn.

While I work on this week's skit, here's a fun idea to mull over.

After sparking some ideas, I started thinking about what DC versions of established marvel teams would look like and vice-versa.

Today, I'm humbly presenting what I'd imagine the DCU version of The Defenders would look like:



1). John Constantine - Dr. Strange

This one really needs no explanation, as Constantine can and would clearly be the DCU counterpart to Dr. Strange.

2).  Swamp Thing - Silver Surfer (Alt. The Hulk)

I think John would personally recruit Swampy, since he trusts him, and he fits nicely as the earthly avatar counterpart to the more cosmic Silver Surfer. He could also serve as the counterpart to the Hulk as well, but I think he fits the Surfer's role better.

3). The Demon - The Hulk (Alt. The Beast/Gargoyle)

It doesn't get more duelistic than the Demon, when going for battling alter-egos, and thus The Demon and  Jason Blood perfectly fit the Hulk's role on the team.

4). Zatanna (Alt. I, Vampire) -  Namor

Zatanna should be an automatic in, and yet with her powers she'd be slightly redundant.  She could still take Namor's role as royal heir ,especially to a family and race of magic creatures like Zatanna is, so there is that. If not, Maybe Andrew Bennett, a.k.a. I, Vampire could fit the role instead.

5). Deadman - Hellcat

Deadman would be an automatic in for me on the team, so I guess the only role that would suit him, would probably be Hellcat's role. Plus their both athletic and deal with magic, so......

6). Black Orchid - Valkyrie 

I figure the Black Orchid could fit the role of the strong woman on the team, much like Valkyrie does, so that take cares of that.

7). Animal Man (Alt. Robotman/B'wana Beast/Shade The Changing Man)

This one might be a bit of a stretch, but I'm including Animal Man on the team. He fits the role of as a somewhat mainstream superhero, yet weird enough to justify hanging with this team of misfits. He'd basically have Nighthawk's role on the team, but without being the money to fund the group. Other suggestions would be Robotman from the Doom Patrol, B'Wana Beast, and/or Shade the Changing Man.

Associates/Other Members:

 -Phantom Stranger


-I, Vampire


-Frankenstein's Monster

So that's my take, and yes I know, a team like that already exists, and they're called the Justice League Dark, but hey, it's not my fault they have a similar line-up.

So, what would yours be if you planned on creating your own Defenders team with DC characters?
