If you're up for painting, Invincible has the perfect hair/mask for that version of Pym.

Kingpin showed up as a zombie in the 3rd miniseries. Doom was turned into a zombie and appeared in the first miniseries. Magneto and Galactus were only zombified in covers and promotional art/merchandise, if I remember correctly.

Me too. It was pretty obnoxious finding out that way. I ended up buying the comic monthly so it never happens again.

That would be amazing. Citizen V, Fixer/Techno, Atlas, MACH I, Meteorite... Any combination of those would be incredible. Those are the most notable incarnations, really. Various members have come and gone, but most lineups have featured a few of the originals leading a couple supporting team members. I think the only drastically different lineup you didn't list is the Dark Reign Thunderbolts (It's the assassination team that featured Ant-Man (O'Grady), Grizzly, Nuke, Mr. X, Ghost, Paladin, Black Widow, and Headsman. It was a weird mix.). If any of those unlikely candidates get made, I'll be thrilled but surprised.

Three more zombies, eh? Sounds good to me. Gonna have to figure out what to do with the Ultron Drone though, since I don't need it.

Well that's disappointing since Ava Lord and Manute were the biggest film characters left unmade. At least the three boxsets we're getting are fantastic. Not that I am aware of. We had some ideas for some exclusive sets to finish some line-ups, but I do not think any of them found homes. Not Ava Lord, though, as she is in the second movie, and we are only doing the first.

Are there plans to release more sets beyond the third one? I'd love to see characters like Ava Lord and Manute join the collection.

Morbius gets a zombie face after all! Awesome.

I bought the Luke Cage & Iron Fist set, and both Luke and Danny have incorrect limbs (Luke has two right arms with the yellow sleeve, Danny has two left bare arms. Is there any way to get the correct limbs?

Love the news that Holly will come with an alternate head. I'm surprised that Chris and Derek are getting made given some of the characters still missing, but extra human enemies are always good. If nothing else I can use them as the start of a Saviors army.

So, any word on whether Morbius will come with an alternate zombified face? I'm not sure if he counts as a hero or not for purposes of zombie character selection.

My guess/hope is that Morbius will have a zombie head as well. Zombie Morbius masqueraded as his 616 counterpart for a while during MZ 3.

Sounds great, Luke! I don't usually display unmasked variants like Cletus, so I'll look into combining a spare Carnage with a spare Ock to make Monster Ock from the old Spider-Man '64 video game.

So for preordering, will we be charged now or when the items ship? Just gotta plan accordingly, because this set is begging me to order multiples.

Well I absolutely need one, but now I have to see if I can justify buying three for extra goodies.

Man, I'd love more street-level heroes and magic users, but more Thunderbolts would be a dream come true. I wouldn't call them neglected, but we do still lack half of the founding members in any form, two in their actual Thunderbolts guises, and plenty of other members from their history. DST has so far only shown real love to the Ellis Civil War Thunderbolts. I think Ghost Rider and Punisher have probably been most neglected. Not much attention for characters who have anchored multiple movies each.

man, you are always so great about talking to us and giving us info on upcoming product. Thanks for that open communication!No Axel is a shame since he lasted 35 issues in the comics, but maybe he'll be revisited one day if the line lasts long enough. I'll just hush and await the upcoming Carl now!

Man, that Luke Cage will be a fantastic addition to my Minimate Thunderbolts.

So we have Alexandria sheriff uniformed Rick and Michonne, party dress Michonne variant, Carl (bandaged and standard heads), Douglas, and two cool zombies. Since we're diving into Alexandria characters so quickly, I hope this doesn't mean that Rosita and Father Gabriel are out as possibilities in upcoming waves. I know both of them made it to Alexandria and were alive as far as I've read, so I hope they're still contenders. I may have to get multiple Carls and scrape the shirt design off so I can have templates for Ben and Billy.

Aw, sad to hear that characters from earlier stories will be less likely to show up now. Thanks for confirming though! Now to figure out how to fill in the missing gaps. I figure we still have great-to-decent odds of seeing Carl, Sophia, Ben, and Billy since they were all around when Abraham and Eugene debuted. The only big missing characters in my mind are Axel, Thomas, Allen, Otis, and Patricia.

Does getting minimates of Eugene and Abraham mean that characters from earlier stories have worse odds for showing up in future assortments? I'm just hoping we still have a shot of getting characters like Axel and Allan. I'm very excited to get these, even though Eugene looks a little off.

Love that display! Galactus's head has a great deal of black paint on the sides/back, so his head could work for a character who has hair/ a mask to cover it up. I need to get another MZ head (or Walking Dead head, if I find a good one) so I can put it on the battle-damaged Mr. Fantastic. That just leaves Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Thing, Thor, and a couple of minor characters missing from my ideal MZ display. Hopefully we see more villains down the line.

Man, just got this set and I love it! Norman's unmasked head is now sitting on a Raft Sentry body and sporting a spare hair piece so I can have my zombie Sentry. I hope this set sells enough to justify more zombie packs, because I'd love to get a few more (with extra heads so I can turn my battle-damaged minimates into zombies)!

Is this post-prison Maggie? Can't recall her sporting that look on the farm, but who knows what I've forgotten? Maggie, Martinez, Tyreese, all great. I can live with variants of Glenn and Morgan. The zombie is the most disappointing inclusion since we already have a nerd zombie, but thankfully we got plenty of zombies in TRU Wave 4.

OK, I love the character selection, but I really hate the face on Martinez. I thought it was an old dude with a mustache until I read the article. That open mouth just looks weird; I remain optimistic pending a few pictures of the finished product, though. I would never have predicted that we'd have three different versions each of Glenn and Michonne, and two versions of Morgan before we saw one Carl. DST must be saving him to help anchor an upcoming wave, I guess.
