Starlight

Ditto, although I'm not sure which Kaine I want. The causal dressed one from Lost Years, the healing suit from the Clone Saga or the snarky one from Spider-Girl.

Just wanted to thank vbpanizzi for the awesome care package I got today. I didn't even think I'd get mail this week given how horrible the snow has been. I got a DCC Blue Beetle, Spider-Girl, Gina (the one with the glasses), some of the accessories I asked for in trade, a mixed mashed mate figure and a nice card. I loved it!

Are you kidding? This is my number one pick for needing an update. The web shooters are painted on sloppy, the ankle packs are brown smudges, his hoodie is flat and no removable mask. Mary Jane is the second on my list. I'd like any MJ but her wedding dress is her other iconic look. And really I'd think it would be hilarious. "No, Mary Jane never got married!" Nightcrawler: Just because he's impossible to find but he has a lot of looks to choose from. Professor X: Hover chair and with the 90s X-Men out he could wear the "action" outfit he wore on the cartoon.

Ditto.

I haven't received anything yet.

Nope, didn't receive anything from a Santa.

Mine too! Now the search begins!

Booster Gold. The figure captures the character well and has some nice detail. His smirk, the wavy hair, the wrist bands/shooters and even a little flight ring. With the bonus of a little Skeets to fly around his shoulder.

Here are some of the baddies that have shown up in Booster Gold. From the Time Stealers an early version of Despero. I wanted to use Havoks' weird head piece for something but I wasn't sure if I should sculpt the fin. The jewel works as his third eye. Rick Remender used Lady Chronos to fight Booster in his series as well as the All New Atom. She teams up with the original Chronos, as his partner and lover. Sharing his interesting fashion sense.

For Fire I went over different hair styles but decided to go with the biggest hair next to Starfires' that I could. And just for comparison sake I have Fire and Ice together for the shot. Along with the guys of JLI. ...Which wouldn't end well if Booster leaves Ted alone with Guy.

Thanks! Chubby Ted. "Fat" makes him grouchy and hit Green Lanterns.

At least this way I get to have the figures I wanted that would likely not get made or not for a long time anyway if the line continued. With Marvel most of the characters I want are already made while the rest are likely to get done. I am fond of Chubby Beetle maybe because I love that era so much. Thank you so much! I do have a fair amount planned, many of which aren't big names, a few "newbies", and much older characters.

Yeah, I wanted to start on something simple. And I suspect that if I ever get around to doing a comic with these figures that I'll have much fun with chubby Ted. I'm almost done on Fire. I thought about her flamed look but it was too simple to work on, and the new look isn't iconic. So it's the 80's duds. I actually haven't thought about doing a Miracle yet but I have thought about a Max Lord.

I've been working on getting the characters I wanted made into customs. Since DC gave up on minimates it doesn't seem likely that we'll see them get made anyway. Being a big JLI/Booster Gold fan my interest tends to lean directly towards characters from those books. The first one I finished was Ice, and while Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) is not finished and already has a figure I wanted to see how he looked in his chubby stage.

Thanks! Hopefully it won't be too hard to find.

I'd like a Summers wave but I'd like some members that weren't done yet. Nate Grey, Rachel Summers, maybe Hope, Corsair and Maddie.

As much as I love the blue costume I say that should be the variant. Having the Original X-Men with no Angel would tick me off. I like having them all together. Speaking of which, what about the X-Factor Angel? Where will he be issued? Because the blue one isn't from X-Factor if memory serves.

I'm trying to have limits with how many X-Men 'mates I get and they make the original X-Factor with a smiling Iceman, a lot of nice looking Angel variants including his original X-uniform and CB/Shadowcat with Lockheed. Guess I'll be getting more new 'mates than I expected.

Just some idea a newbie had that I'd like to see or maybe try: -A line based on a specific movie/tv show/book, or comic ex: Star Wars Attack of the Clones. -Characters that normally don't get made into customs. Lesser known or simply overlooked. -A team of bad guys like the Injustice League, or maybe anti-heroes like the Secret Six.

With Marvel and DC I can pick and chose which ones I want without having to get every wave. I'm not sure I could do that with Star Wars. I'd likely have to get every different variant of characters that appear in more than one movie like Obi-Wan, Luke, etc. All the Sith lords, Jedi, and even a few comic characters. So while I'd want minimate Star Wars my wallet is happy that it's safe.

I admit that I'm pretty bummed about not having the line go any further when I see all that Marvel is doing with Minimates. I am glad that we at least got Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Guy Gardner, Cass/Batgirl in c3, some TT and a few others. But then you start thinking about the could have beens, Fire/Ice, more Green Lantern figures based on Blackest Night, never made figures like Rip Hunter--it's pretty frustrating. But based on how DCD handles some of their other lines I think I have an idea of what you mean for what they had in mind.

That's the general theory a lot of fans have. I'd feel the same if it's true. That's my favorite lantern. But of course they also said that

Keep in mind, Rad, these are figures for Blackest Night. I'm assuming that DCD already knows DC plans for the entire event, or else making some of these would be pointless. With Hal coming to SDCC (at limited supply AND each having a wearable Corps Ring ), i can only assume this is to mean that Guy, G'nort, and Kilowog won't play major roles in the actual event. Not having Guy surprised me a little as Booster Gold #2 which was co-written by Geoff Johns said that Hopefully that's a good thing.

I'm not sure how good the story will be but then again I've never saw the appeal in zombies. Very curious to see that they planned this far ahead. I know some GL fans have been waiting for another Kyle figure, Arisia and Larfleeze. Curious to see that Wonder Woman is in this line, that now DCD has accessories (which I thought they got rid of) and Star Sapphire has another new figure. I'm most amused with the alien babies and the bat skull. The babies because I can only image them trying to sell this in Toys r Us and the skull because of the green eyes and pointed bat ears. Thanks for posting!

I didn't mean to imply box set seasons outside the first set each offered just an idea of what a good starting point would be from their POV. I don't know, everyone seems to have a different idea of what is the iconic versions of the characters. Some see geeky Willow, others will say powerful near god level witch Willow. But I'd be more excited about the Angel sets. Believe me after all the disappointing teases I've had with DST over more Jossverse figures I'm not going to believe it unless I see them in the store first. I'm already planning how to do a Fang Gang set.
