the Red Guardian existed as a sort of antihero/antivillain type that was sort of a love interest/foil to BW and sort of a foil to Captain America. I just remember him being dead in the 70s era defenders comics or sth.
He's sort of an interesting footnote and maybe one of the "legacies" that Marvel comics uses when they need a Russian Superhero team slapped together (alongside another Crimson Dynamo ofc), but it's a bit of a stretch to say that he's someone fans would want merchandise of, even as a trading card.
Oh well, they did release merch.
Ok surely they couldn't have released like, Crimson Dynamo or Ursa Major? Right?
(ok there's quite a few crimson dynamo figures. makes sense since he's one of the more well known iron man rogues. he's also pretty easy to design for figures too.)
10 year old me would have liked this. But to be fair, Bob has the mind of a 5 year old. He probably thinks this shit's high culture and all that bullshit. It's fun to look at and to be aware it exists, but collecting action figures on this scale is a hell of a consoomer hobby, unless you're a boomer or uberfan of one specific character/team, where it's slightly saner to say, collect some nice quality figures of The Defenders or maybe some specific iteration of a team like the Justice League International.
Even then, I don't see any love or understanding of superheroes from bob. All I do see is an autistic, unlovable, and fucked up manchild.
