For me, every set is a build a figure. To really make me interested I would want to see something really unique that would otherwise probably never get made, even if it were Spider-Ham or something kind of goofy.

I think that's the problem I have with the availability these, they all look too good to be this limited.

Exactly. Everyone is both a potential army builder and custom fodder. Their site has the 2-packs marked as "Back-Order". Maybe they'll put the remaining ones up after the show?

Can you post a link to where they were found on the site? I had trouble navigating the store.

This looks great.

does the Beast have toes?

I dont buy it. It's in their best interest as a company to make, market and sell good products.

Like Rogue with parts for Brotherhood of Mutants version and Uncanny Avengers version or like the Black Panther having parts for the Shroud?

Either way I like it and think it could help market the fun interchangeability of minimates.

Cloak needs to be more cloaklike. I would suggest a modified flight stand type thing where you could have his floating head and the cloak but no body. Ideally, it would allow you to position Dagger as if she were jumping out from under the cloak somehow.

Also Dagger should have, you know, daggers. I would suggest modified versions of Longshot's throwing knives.

If we're talking Ultimate designs I really like the design for Cloak.

THos

This release should have come with a Lara Croft Minimate, not a generic 3" figure.

Anyway, I don't suppose we'll be seeing any more 'mates, despite how well the Legacy assortment appears to have sold.

Those are some great designs.

Sigh.

Not a guess but more of a wishlist.

Hasnt every Marvel hero been a bad guy at some point?

My vote is Quicksilver.

So, the villains have been guessed, and yet the heroes they're paired with are nearly unguessable?

The new thing, I believe, is multiple figures per body. We were talking about doing it with the Jim Lee X-Men. I think it's going to be 90s X-Factor, though. It's how you get a complete team with only 4 figures:

Havok (with parts for Multiple Man)/Toad

Polaris (with parts for Wolfsbane)/Pyro

Strong Guy (with parts for Multiple Man)/Blob

Random/Quicksilver (with parts for Avalanche)

Look at Multiple Man's costume. Add a bulked chest piece and arms and a new head, voila! Strong Guy! Same if you swap Havok's head and leather jacket for Jamie's brown duster. Change out Polaris's head, arms, and legs and clip on a tail... Ta-DA! Wolfsbane! And then all you need to do to Quicksilver is add chest armor, a new head, and new gloves and boots to make to make Avalanche!

It may be a pipe dream, but it's really no more parts than DST packs in for certain alternate looks. This would be a really clever way to get a whole team knocked out in one fell swoop, and it would certainly make things seem "unguessable" at face value

If I'm right, it's not something DST could pull off with every wave, but we could see it used in the future for other uniformed teams:

Jim Lee X-Men

Guardians of the Galaxy

Fantastic Four (getting us Bagman/She Hulk/etc)

Pollina X-Force

Acolytes

I like the idea but is that a new thing? Didnt we get something similar with Nick Fury Jr. and transforming Thing/transforming Hulk?

Thanks. I tried that but didnt realize that no results indicated no matches. Just assumed it meant it couldnt search by eye color.

Could the trying something new mean smaller figures for Marvel, such as Power Pack or Runaways?

I love these threads when there is so much open potential.

Wasn't sure where to post this? Is there a place to find or search for specific characteristics? For example, I am interested in finding a white male face with green eyes. Any one got any suggestions?

I'm getting confused. Too much cross pollenation going on already.

Eight different figures. Not themed, a pretty diverse group. Avengers, X-Men, GOTG and Spider-Man. No overlap with 60. BUT one overlap with 59.

1. Iron Man/Ronan. No other GOTG-related characters.

2. New costume/re-do. Ties in to another box set.

3. New costume/army builder.

4. Re-do/Re-do.

>Everyone else in 19 we've gotten comic Mates of before, but three not for a long time, and I believe all three have been asked for. Two are new (or recent) costumes for Marvel mainstays. One is a returning army-builder.

You're taking that to mean the army builder hadn't been made for a long time, but that phrasing is ambiguous. Three of the remaining six figures haven't been made for a long time. Then Zach says two are recent costumes and one is a returning army builder. Tough to say if that's a break down of the three that haven't been made for a long time or if that's describing the other three figures in the wave. Because beyond the Sentinel, what figure from 59 would make any kind of sense?

Shouldn't this be in the other thread?

Since this is about Wave 60, I'm just gonna go ahead and post these here:

TRU 15 included Kuurth/Nul that complimented the Mighty/Worthy boxsets and the Firelord/Air Walker set that complimented the Heralds boxset (plus the Silver Surfer/Thing set).

So maybe TRU 19 includes a two pack that compliments the Infinity boxset and another two pack that compliments another box set.

A set with another Sentinel (army builder) that compliments the DoFP boxset? Foes of Spiderman? Age of Ultron?

AIM for the army builder is an obvious guess, but what other ones are out there? I suppose a sentinel would pair well with cyclops and magneto but is that too soon after DoFP? The Hand? That may make sense if there is a connection to the forthcoming tv shows?

Is there a themed connection between 60 and TRU 19?

If not for Best Of 3, I would have thought Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Ant Man. The last Bullseye was good, but I imagine he may play a big role in the tv show.

I suppose the new Ghost Rider look might count as an A-Lister.

Using this list (because I'm lazy). http://www.comicvine.com/profile/stayclassymarvel/lists/a-b-and-c-list-superheroes-marvel/45202/

Possible B-Listers that may be entering A-list (depending on future movies/tv shows/comics):

Spider-Woman

Spider Man 2099

Captain Marvel

The Wasp

Magik

Abomination

Moon Knight

Storm

Wonderman

Apocalypse

Gamora

Possibly the rest of the Guardians if the movie 'mates are considered the first version and comic version is considered the redo.

Possible A-Listers with updated looks in the comics:

Young Thor

Old King Thor

Cyclops

Magneto

Cyclops/Magik please!

And, perhaps the Wasp might be featured in the Ant Man movie.
