IAs I commented to TheSteelBrigade, it seems like a proper Quick Kick would be harder to release, given the blatant racial stereotypes dripping from his design. To clarify, I want a Quick Kick as close to the vintage figure as possible, he just makes the perfect example of what would be offensive to the same type of people not wanting a Cross Country made.
. Quick Kick? Marvel Legends just released a Shang Chi comic figure that is basically Quick Kick (aren?t they connected in the comics?). He?s a karate master wearing karate gear, no different from Jinx, and Storm Shadow being Ninjas with Ninja gear. I?ve always hated the bare feet. I?d like to seem him updated a bit. |

I?ve always hated the bare feet. I?d like to seem him updated a bit. Jinx and Storm Shadow aren't really comparable. I agree with you on the needed update. Give the man some shoes and a removable gi top.

As an Asian dude quick does need a little revamp. I would rather him not be made than be a walkng stereotype in not a cool way. Maybe there could be a way where he's updated and can be reverted to his original look?

I've never seen that version before. I spent soooo much time trying to track down the Pyramid of Darkness pack for a reasonable price, that I stopped looking once I found the set (ironically buried beneath a pile of other toys at Ross).

Cross-country's mom was a trucker and his dad was a bulldozer driver. A modern trucker/heavy machinery repair guy would be a good revision. Ballcap with a big American flag. His v2 toolkit strapped to his leg. A little loving stereotypical clothes referring to his old vest even. It could be interested and new.

If they decide they want to do Cross Country, there is no way in todays world that a guy wearing confederate uniform will fly, if they decided to swap it out for union calvary much as they did with version 2 of Wildbill then that might work fine, nothing says he cant still be from the south, but glorifing the confederacy is a poor decision, just my opinion.
