Ha! i screen shotted this when I saw it was your walking buddy so I could show my partner. We both loved demon hula girl.

This is so freaking cool!

There is literally 1 new figure in this wave... and I could not be more freaking excited!!! I've been Jonesing for Peter David X-Factor for ages now. This has to be my favourite assortment of the last couple of years!

It's a real shame too. I remember those sets fondly, as they were released at my first ever ComicCon. Getting to buy them when and where they were released was a bit magical. They were pretty great sets too. a whole team available all at once. great pack-ins like the Puck handstand piece & the Northstar/Aurora hand holding piece. Alt white hair for the twins. Flight stands. Bulked up Sasquatch. Those sets were packed. DST may have over estimated the viability of the team to attract casual buyers, but for long time collectors and AF fans, these sets were golden!

Welcome to our happy little home. Can't wait to see your set up once you get some higher shelves!

I would very happily buy any/all of the Life Foundation symbiotes.

Yup - this would wok just fine for me. Only 2 Max statues ever made it to retail; the Sentinel & Galactus. Prototypes existed of Spider-Man & Wolverine... and I think some lucky bugger here might actually have them! But no - they did not come with a Minimate figure. I am pretty sure they were licensed under a different agreement as ceramic statues. I wouldn't be surprised if the licensing had prohibited the statues and figures from being sold together.

YB - why must you break my heart so?

It's SUPER tenuous, but I'd kinda love a bunch of MCU characters in their unmade 616 looks. It doesn't really have a lot to do with the Marvel 80th, but a wave that paired any of the 616 versions of Mantis, Iron Monger, Whiplash, Malekith, Heimdall, Batroc, Nebula, Agent 13, Yondu, Ayesha, Shuri, M'Baku, Killmonger, etc... with big name classics would be kinda cool.

Damn. NM was the film I've been looking forward to the most for some time. I didn't hold out much hope for Dark Phoenix, but NM looked like it had real potential.

Call out to the collectors on here, particularly those from the U.S. Have any of you dealt with Bazooka Toys before? http://bazookatoys.com/ I've been looking for some recent, but now out of circulation, Marvel Legends. BT has the ones I'm looking for listed at RRP, rather than the insanely inflated seconds prices I'm seeing on eBay, but their website is a weird format. The logo is a little... busted. The whole thing looks kinda shifty. I haven't been able to track down much in the way of reviews. I'm a wee bit hesitant - I don't really wanna spend money there if they're not on the level.

Having not bought Cyke or Wolverine in those costumes from Habro, I'm ok with this 3-pack, but I can understand frustration from those who only recently purchased the Jim Lee Cyclops.

Well this might be it. I thought I was out, but between Jason's semi regular encouragement and this year's announcements at SDCC ... I might just be back.

A cosmic wave! So freaking cool. I know a lot of people have been asking after this for a while. I'm excited to see it happen. Does anyone have a clearer pic from the panel? I'd love to get a better look at that Ghost Rider and Gamora.

Unrelated to minimates, but: Damn! The cell shading looks so bloody cool on these! Jean's not *quite* right (can't put my finger on it. Maybe the hard black lines don't suit her face as much?). But the others look freaking cool. Link: https://news.toyark.com/2019/07/18/sdcc-2019-diamond-select-toys-marvel-354015
