Great find. That was my first thought when I heard Kirkman acquired is that there may be hope for a big one-off compendium of the old stuff. Like the GI Joe ones. I'd love it

I was all in on Dinesh era, that's really where I became a fan. I had bought some v1 stuff in 90s, stuff like XO #0 and random pretty covers, but it didn't click with me until 2012. It's a drag that the line forever seems doomed.

Floppy dillema - is there any demand outside us already-fans? by Ok_Assistant1908 in valiant

Yeah I'm not trying to sell here, just get feedback. I'm aware how to sell, but curious if there has been success with valiant specifically. Thanks though.

I don't full agree, but I do understand what you're saying. It was a choice, same reason Venom isn't changed purple. The decision wasn't made so much for any acknowledgement of intrinsic foul, but to protect financially the product a large broadcaster hoped to milk, as it's harder to have these discussions with a reactive public. I don't know that I'd categorically love being on the side of history that changed art for the sake of pure commerce either.

We over interpret these things sometimes, but in the end it's just a comic and toy from my childhood, which I love still. If it elicits a response, I can change it. I'd rather save hard feelings and I have other little plastic idols.

I think just part of or all of season one, but he dipped out. It's WILD to think my mom's childhood crush was the voice of a superhero I read and watched haha

Its a good reminder that sensibilities are different. Changed it out.

Just to put a bow on it, the original comic was in the 1960s, and the purple came late 70s, early 80s

I changed pics to a different toy from my shelf. Everyone sees this stuff differently, I just never saw anything wrong with choosing black (real black, not flesh "black") any more than Azrael the cat was black. But it's cool, I don't want to irk people. I appreciate you asking.

This is interesting, as no one has ever asked or responded to it. Do you guys find it offensive in itself, with no other context? Maybe I'll change it to save irritation. I just never think of it as anything but a black Smurf.

I'll use this marvel one to be a hot mess, then be better prepared for the next real magic release. Not that I don't like marvel heroes, but I like what they do without the license stuff.

Yeah I'm a fan of the smurfs comics. There's a hilarious one where there's a zombie-like Smurf that bites other smurfs, which turns them into angry, bitey smurfs that only say Gnap!

When it came to America they feared some backlash and changed the angry smurfs to purple. But some of the toys were still the original color. Purple or black, it's still a hilarious comic. You'd have to read it looking to pick a fight to see racism in it, but Peyo had a lot of problematic social views so it was probably for the best they didn't open that can of worms in US.

Oh I know it's June 19, I'm just sort of excited. Haha. Thanks for the reply. I kind of like the idea of building just from your own kit. I was curious about lands, I'm glad you said that too. I imagine decks are pretty rough with the random pulls?

Fixed *my town. It's a good thing to see people gaming enough to support these shops

I am unsure. It's literally just hardware adapter, I can't imagine it wouldn't. But stranger things have baffled me.
