  1. Maybe it's because I am spending most of my days with people that discuss/work in pop culture but I disagree. I think there is enough there to qualify them as A-Listers. As for the Big 9? I wouldn't consider those 9 A-Listers they are more like Icons. Similar to how Kim Kardassian is an A_lister but not Iconic (i.e. Marilyn Monroe). God I want to vomit by saying that. I'm tapping out of this because the fact I had to use Kim K for anything but a joke makes me need booze.
  2. Just because they have appeared in movies and cartoons doesn't mean they are well known. You know who is Marvel's A list female? Aunt May. Sadly, you are right about Aunt May. Back to the debate at hand about Jubilee/Firestar, there is a difference in between appearing in something and starring in a long running show which is why someone like Tigra/Crystal/Julia Carpenter didn't fit the bill. X:TAS last for close to 5 years in first run and then had reruns for years. She also was the lead character in several series (X-Men, Generation X, New Warriors, X-Men again). I am working off of the definition of an A-Lister being someone/character that people outside of the specific genre (comics) would have a passing familiarity with and not limiting it to my age group. That does not mean that the character is talented or can support their own series but rather that people are familiar with them. For another example, Will Bruin is a football player that shows a ton of promise that people in soccer talk about that is not well known to the masses. Landon Donnovan is known to a majority of people with a familiarty with the genre. David Beckham is a superstar. If you apply that level of thinking to comics there are going to be some people that grew up in the 80s with a strong memory of who Spider-woman and Firestar are. There are also going to be people that grew up in the 90s that have a strong affinity for the X:TAS cast since again the show ran for 5 years during the collector craze of the 90's at the same point that Firestar was starring in one of Marvel's hottest teen properties. The 90's also had the great trading card era in which all of the ladies mentioned were included. I didn't even want to go into the 70's where 7-11 did the collectable slurpee cups and that featured certain characters like Crystal that fell off of the list. If you asked me if Marvel had a superstar/iconic female character I would say no. But then again the most Iconic characters are Superman, Batman, WonderWoman, Spider-man, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Wolverine. Those are the 9 characters that I think you can ask regardless of age and at least 5 of them would be named.
  3. I'm really thinking that Multiple Man is part of this as the army builder. Considering how often we have requested him I would be surprised if he wasn't. Also A LIst Ladies in the M-U? In my opinion an A-List lady is anyone a casual person ( not a comic fan) would have familiarity with that to me means from a female perspective we have the following: Invisible Woman, Spider-Woman/Girl, She-Hulk, Ms Marvel/Capt Marvel, Firestar, Phoenix (Jean Grey), Storm, Rogue, Jubilee, Kitty Pryde, Black Widow, Elektra, Wasp, Mystique, and lastly Spider-man's loves Gwen Stacy & Mary Jane.
  4. Ok so this could be Banshee, SUnfire or Rogue since they all had a little shade in their past.
  5. You know I love ya Zach but you are wrong on Firestar. I mean come ON look at all of the speculation on Sony's rumored Female movie. Firestar is quickly listed as one of the top three. As for the speculation aspect - it is always fun to see you all get it wrong. I mean CLEARLY this is going to be the New Warriors/Inhumans to fill out the rest of the slots.
  6. Zach do you eat popcorn or m&m's while you sit back and watch us spin our wheels As for a redo. Maybe Firestar since she is an A-Lister (X-Men/Avengers)? As for the other slots I smell a Banshee / Sunfire pairing just from the amount of bitching we have done over the years.
  7. Ok so it looks like this: 1 Ronan 2. Ironman 3. Remake 1 4. Remake 2 5. Remake 3 6. New or New Costume 7. New or New Costume 8. Army Builder Redo Is this correct?
  8. I think that the original intent wasn't neccessarily a box set of the 4 characters that look like their onscreen incarnations but instead a 4 pack of the comic versions. Either way I am all for more mates.
  9. That reminds me, I found these photos of my completed Richards kids so thought I'd post here for a size comparison. Using slipper feet gives Franklin a slight edge over Val who has a kid body.
  10. THere is something about the Black WIdow and Invsible Woman minimates that make me constantly change them. This version is based on Black Widow with a X-Force Psylocke Chest the original BW belt and then Hope's hair. She is duking it out with Black Canary made from a Stargirl's hair, Question jacket (sawed off on both collar and tails, Captive Six bust and face, Captain Jack Boots and Gloves, and Jean DeWolfe's legs. Obviously Hail Ivan and damn do I miss Pre 52 DCU and their minimates.
  11. I wish DC Minimates were still around so we could have a thread like this for them, but the brilliant minds over at DC Direct made sure that didn't happen. This makes my soul weep.
  12. Thanks MM. Not having new warriors and only having limited customizing skills has been a challenge.
  13. Val was also controlled by the Acolytes for a time, so that counts, too. Though if we get Ruckus, I'd want his variant to be one of the other Nasty Boys. Ramrod would be easy enough. And speaking of Acolytes, why not a Fatal Attractions wave? Adamantium being torn out Wolverine/Magneto Space Suit Xavier/Space Suit Jean Cortez/Kleinstock Exodus/Kleinstock Then how about we finish em off with some sort of online exclusive 10 pack? Voght, Delgado, Scanner, Neophyte, Mellencamp, Senyaka, Unuscione, Chrome, Colossus, and Frenzy. I love this idea but sadly online clubs are a sore subject around here
  14. For Nita? Gwen Stacy hair (pony tail) Batgirl face thanks to the weird green colored eyes. Madame Hydra/Viper Chest and crotch Namor arms, legs, and wings. For a while I was using the Tinkerbell chest and torso but the green threw me off and was annoying me. Ideally the Marrina swimsuit works perfectly but I am too untalented to paint over the green. Forgot to say Hail Ivan.
  15. Imma going with X-Men 275 as inspiration. Main Hero / Main Villain - Jim Lee Wolverine (parts for Forge) / Gladiator Ally & Enemy/ Closest Ally - Jim Lee Storm (Psylocke & Jubliee Heads) / Jim Lee Banshee Villain / Army Builder - Gladiator / Shiar Imperial Guard Solider Variant Villain / Army Builder - Deathbird / Imperial Guard Solider Just for fun: 90's X-Factor Main Hero / Main Villain - X-Factor Havok / Mr. Sinister Ally & Enemy/ Closest Ally - X-Factor Polaris (parts for alt costume X-Factor #93) / X-Factor Strong Guy Villain / Army Builder - Ruckus/ Multiple Man Variant Villain / Army Builder Val Cooper (she represented the MAN) / Multiple Man
  16. My quest for an acceptable Nita continues..
  17. OH MY GOD! WE ARE FINALLY GETTING A CRYSTAL/Ronan, Ironman/KAZAR, VANCE ASTRO/CHARLIE 27... oh we aren't? Meh. I'm not happy.
  18. Great idea, but I like to keep my zombis away from the other mates. I don't want a Zombie outbreak.
  19. Man did I love those exclusives!
  20. Same here. Third. What's with all the hate for Matty Toy Collector? I haven't used it but to me the fact it exists and is pumping out figures of characters that fans actually want is increduble. What's the beef?
  21. I have been thinking about this for a while but, if Diamond created a line like Matty Toy Collector where they put out an exclusive two pack once a month (available online only) of figures that had a lot of fan love but may not have enough support for a wide release, who would you pick for the first year of releases? My choices: Jan- Vance Astro & Starhawk Feb- 60's Marvel Girl & Bryne Cyclops Mar - Bagman FF Spidey & Crystal Apr - Black Knight & Mockingbird May - Destiny & Blob Jun - Speedball & Aracne Jul - FF SheHulk & Wyatt Wingfoot Aug - Strike Force Banshee & Storm (with parts to turn into Forge) Sep - Tigra & Swordsman Oct - She-Thing & Karnak Nov - Toad & Avalanche Dec - Medusa & Gorgon
  22. I'm looking for the actual stickers to print on.
  23. Exactly. I'm quite shocked this hasn't happened yet. But with that logic, the FF Kids, Artie, Leech, etc are also big enough thata they could have mates.
  24. Hey guys - anyone know of a place to get decals for minimates? I"m finally joining the 21st century and going in that direction but Luke's doesn't have any.
