  1. As a classic Marvel character minimates collector, I cannot be happier with the Marvel’s Chameleon and Spider Sense Peter Parker two pack. I've been waiting for a while for an updated classic Peter Parker and Mary Jane, both being two of the essential civilians of the Marvel Universe and they don’t disappoint me. The execution is perfect and the new sculpted hair pieces add a lot. And if it was not enough, for the same price we get Chameleon in his dressing gown none less and a lot of classic accessories (webshooters, belt, half-mask spider sense hair piece and my favorite: the hand with the radioactive spider). Thanks, DST!

    This made me think that it would be nice if they released some kind of deluxe or ultimate packs including the super-hero, his civilian identity and a lot of accessories:

    an Invisible Woman that matched the Best Of Mr. Fantastic would be fine, but there already exists a Sue and Reed in their original blue and black costumes for a classic Fantastic Four set.

    Quite so, but then you cannot display Mr. Fantastic with his stretched arms.

    BTW, I really like your instagram account, suicidewatch.

    What's wrong with the John Byrne FF from wave 48? Are those particularly difficult to locate?

    Nothing wrong with her, but I'd like to display them in the traditional blue outfits.

    In the meantime, I kitbashed a Invisible Girl using the "Best of" Mr. Fantastic torso (kinda unisex) and TRU Sue Storm head and limbs.

  4. This is my kitbashed classic Professor X:

    I used the 90s Professor X head (I took advantage of the headhole to throw in a Spider Sense effect as some kind of telepathy effect), the suit from The Puppet Master (It's the same mold as 90s Xavier and the color fits  the one he wore in Giant-Size X-Men, I just trimmed a little the jacket so he can sit properly) and the wheelchair from the original Chuck (because originally he used an old and plain wheelchair with no X-shaped braces on the wheels and a blanket over his legs).

    Anyway, I wouldn't mind an updated one.

  5. At this point, I think that there's a high possibility of the upcoming boxset being X-themed and probably something in the lines of "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" or "Friends and Foes".

    I think that the characters with more possibilities of being included are:

    -Toad (one new classic character, a long overdue character and the fact of Zach not bursting our bubble is a good signal)

    -BOTEM Scarlet Witch (one of the two never-made classic costumes, she got a lot of exposition in the Avengers movies and fits the BOTEM theme)

    -BOTEM Quicksilver (one of the two never-made classic costumes, the same as his sister)

    -Marvel Girl (one of the two never-made classic costumes, she was highly requested recently and she complements the recent wave 68)

    -BOTEM Rogue (one of the two never-made classic costumes, she was in Secret Wars and fits the BOTEM theme)

    -Magneto (one requested update, it's been a long since the last one and maybe he could share some cool accessories with the one in TRU 23)

    -Professor X (one requested update, it's overdue and complements the recent wave 68)

    -Juggernaut (one requested update, I'm ok with the one in the Excalibur boxset, but I know it's difficult to get nowadays)

    The best case scenario for me it'd be the one proposed by fwoosheyman (Toad, Marvel Girl, Rogue and Chuck), so I hope it's him who guessed three of four.

    Anyway, we cannot discard the 90s X-Factor or the Shia'r/Dark Phoenix themes...

     

  6. I just remember Zach gave us another clue at the TMNT post telling us that two characters from a list given by BHM will be made. The list consisted of WWII Nick Fury, 60's Swordsman, Deathlok, Marvel Girl, Toad, Executioner and Super Adaptoid. But I suppose those characters also could be released as part of the non X-Themed Wave 75/TRU 25 (Maybe the Marvel Knights wave hinted at Ask DST in answer to Kostisfire question) or as part of the next walgreens animated wave (I'm betting that Super Adaptoid will be there) or even in later unknown releases.

  7. Being "mixed titles" and given DST is constantly throwing us oddballs, TRU 24 could be literally anything, I suppose we'll have to wait for it being revealed at C2E2 or until we get more hints from Zach.

    And about the classic title-themed box-set, I'm inclined to think it's either X-themed or Spider-themed. In the case it's X-themed, I'd like a classic Brotherhood of the Mutants box-set including Toad (new classic character), Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (two never-made classic costumes) and Magneto (one requested update, I think), but I see more likely a Factor X boxset with Havok and Polaris being the two never-made classic costumes, althought I'm having problems with Quicksilver qualifying as the "one requested update I think". 

    I hope we get either Toad or Bulked-Up Abomination or even an updated Mary Jane out of this, but in any case, Zach teasing us never-before made classic characters and updates of classic characters really made my day.

  8. As a classic character collector, I'm ecstatic with the current trend of comic waves. Also, I love the fact we’re getting characters like Mojo or Spiral, something unthinkable from the design point of view when I started this hobby. Even the Frank Milleresque touch of arrows piercing the body of Wolverine looks interesting.
