BAF suggestion that should be Regular.

Nope. IMO Super Skrull has exclusive rights to that name much like Super Adaptoid refers to that one character or Superman (???). Refer to him as Skrull Bolt, Skrull Impostor or Illuminati Skrull so readers won't confuse him with KL'RT. Otherwise, let's just call all of them Super Skrulls, or Kryptonians, or Democrats, and so on and so forth.

While that's a lovely sentiment, it's just not consistent with the comics. 'Super-Skrull' has been used as both a type of Skrull, and the title of Kl'rt, the first Super-Skrull, in the same vein as 'Green Lantern' is both a title and a form of peace officer, or 'Captain Britain' is both the title of the 616 Captain Britain and the 'Captain Britain Corps', or 'Weapon X' has been the title of several characters and the programs that produced them... the list goes on.

 

 

So I can call him a "Super Skrull"? Thats good because I think he had the same ideal and that roided Skrull could not be classified as a regular Skrull.

i kinda agree. i tink they should make figures of the few remaining "big" characters that need to be made (foom, juggy, etc.), then switch back to bases and such.

 

Foom sure, but first off why would they need to redo Juggs in the first place, and if they did why the heck would he need to be a BaF?

Until MARVEL itself goes by your proposed naming convention of these so-called new Super Skrulls, I would still name them as Skrull 'impostors' as opposed to "Super Skrull". KL'RT earned that name by being so resilient and formidable an opponent all this time and going toe to toe with FF on numerous occasions and some other heroes. These impostors did not even last much through an issue once they are "exposed" as what they are. The Super Skrull himself has a proven himself to be able to give the FF a handful.

Yes, Juggy is due for an update! He is an old sculpt that can be improved upon, with better proportions. The ML 6 six version is good for that year 2004. Time to move on and have other people have a chance to own their own Juggernaut and not wait in line paying $50 dollars a pop for a limited amount of these at the Internet. Hasbro would be wise to make these as they would sell like pancakes, I mean pancakes !!! He definitely would be a gotta have figure. ML 6 Juggernaut would be remembered as a Classsic. The XMC version is not faithful to the comic books, the X3 version does not measure up to the true version. The time is right to have a second version for the masses of people who have not had the opportunity to own him in his classic look.. Juggernaut is must for any collection, X-Men collection, Villain Collection, Marvel Universe Collection because he has appeared in a variety of books in different eras and deserves that Legends treatment again.
