Spiders Man?

Fingers crossed we can see them in October, that would be great. Sticking with the 5-pack format?

I'm always down for Spidey mates.

I'm in it for DD, Mary, Kingpin and some cool parts. Kingpin's design actually lines up with a special project I have going on. I will concur that one of the "cons" of the box set format is the diminished likelihood that I'll buy more than one. Which is a shame, because I'd want at least two DDs. Hey Zach, sorry to have missed you at the con this year -- I couldn't swing it. Are there any hints for Wave 85?

Thank you!

Aside from Walgreens Adam Warlock, who else has these slick neck peg-based shoulder flares? I feel like I've seen them somewhere else. Shoulder flares are essential superhero gear, right up there with bootcuffs and capes.

Wow! I am so all over this. I never QCd any of my own, so I'm psyched to get the whole crew.

One of my favorite things right now is the Super7 D&D ReAction line, which draws on vintage print material. They look awesome although as toys they are very simple. YES PLEASE bring on more MiniMates!

Updating here that this is almost done, and looks good enough for rock 'n roll (in case anyone else would like to try it). Unfortunately I inadvertently spilled super glue juice on the head I was using, which ruined the decal. I'll post a pic once I acquire a replacement part, and add a little finishing paint.

Thanks everyone! I had a lot of fun planning this wave. And I agree with you BHM -- this genre still has a lot of legs. I clearly doubled down on the "kid" theme, but that meant I left a lot of heavy hitters on the table like Phantom Rider, Red Wolf and Masked Raider/Rider. If I ever get around to the other two waves I planned -- "Slap Leather!" and "Owlhoots" -- I will feel that I've finally wrung this one dry. At least from a bronze age perspective. I know a lot of these characters have more modern designs now from various revivals.

Are you sure it's translucent? I'm not seeing it.

Or maybe it's Thor's goats? Just... kidding? I was actually able to finish all the painting last night. So I'll be able to take pictures tonight or tomorrow night (PST).

It's pretty spot-on:

Amazing! I love it. That is creative and unorthodox Luke.

Paints arrived early! I might be able to get them over the line by Thursday, we'll see

I love the box!

K I D [S] T U F F Well played BHM! You had gotten it half right before. So what is "Kid Stuff?" Unfortunately it will have to wait until I get a shipment of Vallejo paints (I am missing the last couple of colors I need), so the ETA for the photo is Saturday.

That's looking pretty good!

I'll stay mum on any full guesses, but BHM has granted our little fellow a stay of execution: Guessed: H, T, X, O, A, E, I, U __ I __ __ T U __ __ Hangmate:

BHM is a man of great vision. Guessed: H, T, X, O, A, E, I __ I __ __ T __ __ __ Hangmate:

Survey says... WHAMMY! (I think I'm mixing up game shows). This one isn't easy! Which will prove to be ironic when the name is revealed. Guessed: H, T, X, O, A, E __ __ __ __ T __ __ __ Hangmate:

Yikes! Guessed: H, T, X, O, A __ __ __ __ T __ __ __ Hangmate:
