That Sasquatch is just great. Really looking forward to this set - it'll be fun to finally pose the whole crew together.

Please forgive the following on-topic post: I love the 'cats. Great accessories and detail. Looks like we're hopefully hitting at least three box sets... is a fourth locked-in? That would include a proper Mumm-Ra as depicted in the control art? Or is this dependent on sales?

I really would like to see another Doc Ock, but with longer tentacles that can bend like the old Reed Richards arms. Can this be done at current price points?

A WCA box would be fantastic. SC Iron Man is the only one who's really been done definitively... a WCA box should have: 1) Hawkeye, long sleeves 2) Tigra 3) Mockingbird (with alt legs and alt ponytail hair to capture both early looks) 4) Wonder Man - bulked up classic tank top look

That would be first appearance Blade, in his vampire-hunting glory.

SQUEEE [ahem] I mean... thanks Zach! This set looks fantastic!

Anvil, did you want a different or updated Hydro-Man than the one already released? I really dig all of your other picks. It will be fun to see how they tackle Mojo if they ever get there.

What are your "essential" Fantastic Four villains yet to be made? Here's my Top 10 FF: 1) Mad Thinker 2) Awesome Android 3) Diablo 4) Dragon Man 5) Wizard 6) Trapster 7) Psycho-Man 8) Ronan the Accuser 9) Maximus the Mad 10) Red Ghost (this is assuming Annihilus is coming in TRU wave 15) Honorable Mentions: 1) The Brute - alternate universe Reed Richards who turns into a purple hulk; former/temporary member of the Frightful Four (box set, DST?) 2) Torgo - mechanical powerhouse with a long history of scrapping with the Thing 3) Darkoth - powerful and cool-looking oddball with a strange history, having been created and brainwashed by Doom and later enhanced by Diablo

I really would like to see the designs for Tron Bonne... I have no idea how that would have been accomplished. I do hope that working with Capcom opens up the possibility for more Street Fighter in the future... so many characters to choose from.

What's the latest on release timing for this wave? I want to know when to start heavily lurking TRU.com again...

I think Stegron's the guy who nailed it here. So... with a partner swap & one sub: Thing/Annihilus Air Walker/ Torch Firelord/Surfer Worthy Hulk / Mighty Somebody ...just got to thinking that the Heralds poll "losers" might be a better sell if they were split & paired with A-listers.

I'm split between the following for my current "most wanted": Falcon (classic), Man-Thing, Master of Kung-Fu, Morbius, Constrictor ...if the conversation shifts to re-dos, I ABSOLUTELY want a new Doc Ock, with bendy tentacles the quality and length of the original Mr. Fantastic's arms.

Interesting. One FF villain that's been mentioned so far. Two FF members. One FF associate. Plus two sets that build off of existing four-packs. If the speculation is gonna continue, I'd do it in a new thread. Here's my breakdown: One FF villain that's been mentioned so far. >> Hoping Annihilus. He's pretty major. (could also be Attuma, Wizard) Two FF members. >> Based on the "research" image and common sense, Thing ("negative zone," white trim) and Torch fully flamed One FF associate. >> Would seem to be Silver Surfer Set one based off existing four-pack >> Air-Walker and Firelord (Heralds four-pack) Set two based off existing four-pack >> Could easily be the AvX poll left-overs, or if I could indulge in wishful thinking, Alpha Flighters Talisman and White Sasquatch (or Box 1.0. or Aurora 2.0. etc.) I wonder if the Morbius / FA Blade / Werewolf By Night "hints" are part of some future monster four pack?

Ah, this is why I love Marvel MiniMates so much. You can do so much more to pack in cool value-adds that other lines can't, or won't. Even when I'm already happy with the character selection, I open the boxes & often find a surprise or two. Or three. Love the extra visor for Vindicator, all the stands, and all the attention to detail that goes into these.

Will Rhino come with alt hands and feet "sans bracelets" to re-create his classic look?

Scored a MODOK. Sa-WEET. Think he may be the last of that list ToyFare published (back in the day) that DST said they'd never do.

I have a bunch of "Top Fives" from various categories. Here are the villains... these are all guys I see as essential: Avengers Villains: Super Adaptoid Whirlwind Man-Ape Korvac Radioactive Man Daredevil Villains: Owl Jester Gladiator Purple Man Mr. Fear Fantastic Four Villains: Wizard Diablo Annihilus Dragon Man Psycho-Man Spider-Man Villains: Morbius Puma Molten Man Boomerang Beetle X-Men Villains: Blob Pyro Avalanche Arcade Toad

Anyone for "Atlas Through the Ages" ? - Power Man, Smuggler, Goliath, Atlas. Loving the Zemos, and I'm really only disappointed about Madrox not making it. Really, really, really want a classic Madrox. Did he at least perform well in the poll?

Fantastic Four = Complete team. Also Sinister Six. Champions. Original Defenders. FA Avengers. Jim Lee X-Men? Astonishing X-Men?

Have I missed an SDCC thread on this? There were a bunch more shown there, including (on the Street Fighter side): Rufus, Abel, Ryu, Chun-Li, Rolento, Hugo

I'm pretty disappointed that only Zemo made it from my picks, but on the other hand I'm really happy to be getting both Zemos in one wave. I think Hydro Iron Man is still a strong possibility for the IM3 movie year. Falc and Black Knight are Avengers, and so will always be on the table. But I was really pulling for a classic Multiple Man. I hope he performed well enough for a future wave consideration.

That's... very lame. I thought there was meant to be some discussion of NECA merch?

What came of the panel?

48 is blue/wht FF minus Thing, w Blastaar, Puppet Master and Moloid.

Easy to forget that most of us take this form factor for granted... Some folks have never seen a block figure before. I think many will become converts... How could you not? MiniMates are at the top of their game. Loving Lion-O's accessories, I'll definitely be picking these up in SD in a couple weeks. Looking forward to the MM panel.
