Ive always thought Ikaris's look was appealing.

The problem is the character. Reading ANY story involving him is the equivalent of watching paint dry.

The same applies to this figure. Its an impressive sculpt and paint apps are fantastic. But then what? He has no appeal to me outside of it being new and I wanted that BAF piece. I was suckered when he was announced, thinking id be excited to get him. But once opened, i was more thrilled WITH A CAT'S LEG than this turkey.

Plus, his teammates get less and less interesting as you go down the hierarchy of the team. And its not like Hasbro will finish the team soon, if ever.

Nah, its a well done figure but with no nostalgic connection he is bin bound if not sold outright

Ikaris certainly wasn't my favorite eternal, he looks like a pretty standard issue super hero to me, but I always did have a thing for the Eternals and the whole ancient gods story line, I read a bunch of the books when I was younger, and it appealed to me, I was always partial to Sersi and her Avenger days, and Thena was always pretty cool, but in reality most of the Eternals seemed to lack personality, which is potentially why they didn't really have massive success in the comic world, but either way for a figure of Ikaris I'd say they did a pretty good job here, seemed like more effort was put in then expected, I'm mostly happy to get a new character and like you a Kitty leg, but I would really welcome the rest of the team eventually but I wouldn't be surprised if that never materialized. If anything I'd imagine we'd see some more outfits for Sersi before any other character gets made if at all.

anyways new character YAY.
