Okay, so everybody (well, at least me) needs something on the horizon to get excited about.....I got tickets for Tim and Eric's Philly comedy show (check them out if you like weird humor), and there's Avengers 2 and the new Star Wars to look forward to.........but now there's something new to really get me excited .......Comic-Con announced new action figures.....and there is FINALLY going to be a Starfox figure.
Sure it's only for the 3 3/4" inch line (which I generally have avoided, except for some confused ebay purchases) but Eros is finally getting some respect!
.......and all you haters out there can finally have a Starfox figure to burn! Ha-Ha

Ha-Ha starfoxxx Hoo-boy, SF-- given the title of your post, I truly thought this was going to be a COMPLETELY different sort of announcement, and was all ready to whoop and holler and beam and help you pass around Kirby-sized cigars-! But still, one does appreciate when a comrade's wistful dream is fulfilled, eh? (Mind you, I don't think we've generally had a particular anti-Starfox bias 'round here, have we? I know he took some heat recently over on BAB. . . but surely we wouldn't be so harsh here about a fellow's namesake favorite character-? Why, I was thinking of changing my handle to "GilgameshBelly". . . ) HB |

Still, it's cool that Eros is finally getting some action figure love. What's even better you may ask? How about Starfox returning next year to play a big role in an Avengers story featuring Ultron? Yep, a new Avengers OGN, entitled the Rage of Ultron, by Remender and Jerome Opena set for release next spring. Ultron apparently takes over the moon of Titan and Starfox is a major player in helping the Avengers thwart the robot's latest scheme (which may also set him up with a confrontation with a certain Mad Titan). Either way, sounds like a whole lotta of Starfox love in on the way! |

I agree that the action figure sounds cool, SF. However, for me personally, I collect mini-busts rather than action figures. Now I'm ready for you to announce that Bowen is doing a Starfox mini-bust. Oh, and a Captain Marvel/Photon/Spectrum (Or whatever you want to call Monica this week) bust would be awesome too. Okay, and while we're going, it's way past time for the Impossible Man to have one.

I would love some mini-busts. There was one of Thanos holding up his hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet and snapping his fingers. That looked great. But I feel so ashamed for spending that much money on one, let alone telling the wife of how much it cost.

So, basically, it looks like he gets army boots, making him look more militant, like so many other heroes of the past 20 years. Meh. |

You're right, he has a much more military/commando look, which I think can also be attributed to an apparent change in what SF's outfit might actually be made of. He's always been one of those single-piece, ultra-skin-tight (nothin' left to the imagination--! *ahem*), spandex union-suit types. This outfit does appear to be constructed from different panels and pieces of a thicker, bulkier material, with obvious seams where they join. Actually, a pretty good job on the artist's part conveying something like this. Boots- legitimate, practical boots? Sure-- heck yes. Realistic superhero footwear is long past due for its place in the sun! HB |

For a significant lasting change, everyone knows all you really need is a bomber jacket.   |

Man, he could carry it off because he's an alien anyhow, and not particularly well-versed with any contemporary fashion trends here on earth--!! And his pheremone/charm power could convince all of the nay-sayers that they actually love that distinctive fashion choice! HB |

How about shark skin jackets (you know, the kind with the velvet collar...) and ditty-bop shades...? |

HB Yes, it's more functional and more realistic, but a lot less fun and pleasing to the eye, IMHO, which is one of the things I read comics for. Also, somebody as powerful as Starfox doesn't need real boots. He could walk around barefoot and his tootsies won't get hurt. Somebody like Cap could use those boots (though I'm thinking they'd slow him down which might one reason we don't see martial artists & ninjas in the movies wearing boots). |

somebody as powerful as Starfox doesn't need real boots. Agree. It's one of the less-often considered advantages to being an Eternal. You don't have to worry about stubbing your toes. |
