I think (and hope) we’re getting a supernatural wave. It would line up with the Ghost Rider Hulu stuff and Dr. Strange 2 hype.

Magik, Dormammu or Mephisto could be the second version in 10 years.

Dr. Strange and Ghost Rider could use redos.

Loki could also use a redo.

That just leaves the new characters. Daimon Hellstrom, Brother Voodoo, Vengeance, Blackheart, etc.

My fingers are crossed for:

modern Dr. Strange/modern Loki

modern Magik/Daimon Hellstrom

Ghost Rider/Brother Voodoo

BAF Blackheart

I love the idea of RPG minimates.

DST will never go for it though. Not enough men in business suits. Haha.

But seriously, the non-humanoid and larger scale monsters could be a serious problem. And other than the fairly recent Mojo minimate, DST has been falling kind of short in the ingenuity department.

I would have loved more Invincible and other Image characters, although I’m assuming those just didn’t sell well.

Indie comics in general just have so many great characters that don’t have any figures from any other brand. And a ton of them are crossing over into movies and tv now.

I really think that’s where minimates could have struck gold.

Wow dude, you sure put me in my place.

Saying things like "I don't like these pairings so I'm not buying them" adds nothing to the conversation. But sure, if you want Minimates to die, keep nitpicking.

I’ve never read X-Factor, but I bought a set with the Multiple Man pack to support the army builder exclusive. Such a great idea.

I didn’t go overboard, but I may buy more in the future if there are any left over.

Ugh, the complaining....

Very cool sets. Glad you were able to get an exclusive Luke!

Complaining about complaining is still complaining.

And just because someone’s opinion isn’t positive does not mean that it isn’t valid

I actually said this a while back (probably way earlier in this same thread) but I'm honestly thankful that Archangel is paired with Multiple Man. I wouldn't mind having multiple Warrens to update the wings on some of my older Archangels. I can't stand the wings on the older figures. Mine are constantly curling inward and forming a metal shield tube around him.

At least I'll at least get some use out of those multiple Warrens!

Honestly, I'd probably buy one or two just for the wings even if the two-pack IS Multiple Multiple Men.

Having you tried warming them in hot water, molding them to the desired shape, and then shocking them in ice water?

According to BBTS, each member of the 80s team is packaged with a member of the 90s team.

Dick move, DST.

It looks like the first Extremis Iron Man to me, from the pack with Titanium Man.

That’s the one, although the movie slip over chests have a similar look. Wave 32 Extremis Iron Man.

That is awesome! What did you use for the chest piece?

Thank you. I knew I wanted to make this guy the second I saw the bearded Odin from the BC wave.

Modern Thor with some Dr. Doom, Iron Man, and Odin parts.

Spotted in Kentucky.

I also wonder if the Loki show will give us another shot at getting the Warriors Three.

I’d really like another MCU Scarlet Witch.

She’s been in five MCU movies now and has two minimates. And one was an SDCC exclusive.

Since it's unlikely we will ever see an official one, here's my attempt at Captain Marvel in her Binary form.

Wow. Now that’s one cool ass custom.

You guys are so miserable  it's depressing coming here because all I hear is "DST isn't doing this" "you did this wrong DST" your move, DST" "i can't believe DST isn't doing this" "the end is near" 

I love minimates, maybe it's because I don't collect the movie mates but you guy suck right now, hard. I can't wait for the x factor wave and the spidey wave. Geeze 

So why are you coming to the Endgame movie minimates thread?

I don’t think anyone is complaining in the X-Factor or Spider-Man threads.

Probably because DST delivered a solid product on those fronts.

So you're saying because FInal Battle Thor was absent from the IW waves, we should have known to make him in a final battle look for Endgame, even though (we were not sure when or if he would wear a final battle look? (I'm fairly certain that is true, maybe I missed a very early trailer that showed him in his full costume, but I don't think I did.)

So you're saying that we should have done an IW look in an Endgame wave? That would never have happened, unless he wore the exact same look and we were also told that, which I imagine they would have. 

I mean, the IW costume has been on all the Endgame marketing material since (at least) February. I'm fairly certain that costume was marketed before the QC suits. And the Thor you gave us isn't in the movie at all...

I'm not trying to shut anyone up, I do not think more Endgame MM are forthcoming, so discuss away. But as far as I can tell the final battle Cap and Thor looks are very similar to what has come before, are usually very heavily repeated characters, and are easy QCs. I may be wrong. Sorry if people are unhappy. 

So now is the time when minimates decides to shy away from heavily used characters/costumes?

Also, I read "are easy QCs" as, "We don't want to give you the minimates you wanted, you make 'em".

It is truly baffling to me that a toy company that has provided toy lines for a movie series for 10+ years doesn't bother to have ANY plans to release the most pertinent figures from the epic conclusion of a 22 movie saga that just grossed $1.2 billion in four days.

Like, throughout all the meetings and paperwork, etc., etc., no one ever raised their hand and said, "Okay, well, what about when we don't have to worry about spoilers?"

Wow.

I gotta say, I am not a fan of how this movie wave was handled.

I feel like the decision to do the quantum suits, that have minimal screen time, was more a cash-grab business decision than fan service.

I believe most people would gladly trade all of those QS figures in for the epic, final battle costumes of Thor, Cap, Rocket, Pepper, etc., etc.

And I know the response will be that DST did not have access to that concept art, but I’d counter and say that I think most fans would happily wait six months for a wave that accurately portrayed the movie.

Granted, these characters may be announced down the road, but until then they just seem like massive holes in MCU collections.

Not releasing them has pretty much convinced me not to buy any of the movie mates because I don’t like having gaps in my collection.

I personally think exclusives should be characters that are both fun and exciting, but are not integral to a collection.

Many people are wanting an updated Infinity Gauntlet-era Thanos without the hassle of it being exclusive to a Con.

Infinity War Thanos w/ Infinity Gauntlet, classic Black Panther, Ronin, Ms. Marvel, Uncanny Avengers Havok, Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider, and Danny Ketch Ghost Rider.

I’m hoping for a War of Realms themed wave.

Thor and Malekith

Dr. Strange and Loki

She-Hulk and Ulik

Valkyrie and Minotaur

Laufey BAF

I think it’s a solid mix of new characters and classic characters with new costumes.  Heroes and villains.  Probably a long shot though. Better start getting excited for a hot claws Wolverine...

You guys must be great at parties.

I want one.  Who would you put in a Stan Lee box set?

Which is kind of ridiculous really. It's weird that they started another version before finishing the first. I don't mind having both, it's just strange.

Neither iteration of the black and grey X-Force teams are completed either.

Still waiting on that Vanisher, Wolfsbane, Elixir, and Nightcrawler.

My biggest pet peeve with every single toy line is their refusal to finish what they’ve started with superhero teams/themes.
