Boooooooo

Okay, Black Panther and Doctor Strange. Done. We've never gotten a Defenders version of Strange with the all blue suit and no gloves. Plus, the last comic Strange we got was over five years ago. Don't even get me started on classic Loki. The first one hasn't aged well, but at all, and the Best Of one does not fit the look. His helmet is all wrong and the face is too maniacal. Also, you posing to do Avengers/Defenders War without Loki is like me posing to do the Kree/Skrull War without Rick Jones. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we want a new Valkyrie. The first one has never sat right with me. Something about it just isn't all the way there. Same thing with Silver Surfer. I never really liked the newest one we got that came with the Thing and the old one is, well, old. I want one with the same style as the old one (flat silver with some Kirby-esque lines across it) and only a footage on the board. No clunky hole in the Bottom to put it on a stand. I think DST could come up with a new stand that the board itself plugs into from the back. Like the all too scarcely used waist stand. Finally, not a single person on this board who has been clamoring for more classic Avengers stuff would say no to both a Classic Dormammu and Mantis and Swordsman. Getting those two in the same pack is the easiest and most effective way to get the characters. And outside the context of an Englehart era Avengers wave, and in a story that they played substantial parts in no less, I don't ever see anyone getting their hands on a Swordsman and Mantis. Sure, the Thanos story would be cool and all, but the Avengers/Defenders war makes tons more sense in terms of both character selection and selling point. Unless the Thanos story you're basing your wave off of has anything to do with the Infinity Gems (that's right GEMS) you can kiss sales goodbye.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm a hardcover snob myself, but recently I've decided that instead of hunting down old masterworks, I would just wait for the Epic Collections to release the eras I want to have most. Also, I wouldn't have to deal with pesky numbering on the side.

Haha if only it was that easy... My only concern would be the accessories. If it were to be packaged like the Hall of Armor was, I don't see any being a possibility. Not even a measly fireball for Johnny, let alone phasing arms and legs for Suzie. However, I can see this being done like the ORIGINAL original 10-pack from way back in 2004. (Hail Ivan!) Ample space for the characters and plenty of fun accessories.

Maybe skip Vision so we can save them for the Avengers/Defenders War wave! Silver Surfer / Vision Swordsman / Mantis Iron Man / Doctor Strange Classic Loki / Valkyrie BaF: Classic Dormammu This way we can have Scarlet Witch paired with, perhaps the Skrull Emperor Dorrek.

I concede and gleefully accept those changes. The Gerry Conway era of FF is my second favorite so I love how this adheres to all of that gloriousness.

Got me drooling over all those masterworks... Fantastic idea with that classic Collector! I might just steal it. Is that an Emmett Brown hairpiece?

I tend to use Imgur. Quick and easy, gives you the share codes without any hassle.

But this costume!

I would absolutely LOVE this. Any attention that Roy Thomas' Avengers gets is okay by me. Other than the Vision, people don't usually recognize what a major stamp he has on the Avengers, let alone the rest of the Marvel Universe. However, one cannot do the Kree/Skrull War without Rick Jones. He needs an official 'mate. Heck, there was even an issue of What If? that explored what would happen had Rick Jones not been there during the fight! He's perfect for a BaF. I'd like to see something like this maybe: Scarlet Witch / Vision Captain Mar-Vell (white hair) / Ronan the Accuser (bulky) Goliath (Barton) / Classic Thor Any Royal Inhuman / Maximus the Mad (its my favorite costume of his) BaF: Rick Jones

Does somebody have a picture of the Hercules custom?

Ya sure it isn't perfect, but in considering what we got? I'm more than content with it.

Even though his reappearance would be redundant, the inclusion of a Captain America would be imperative for anything based off of this story.

I've been thinking Galactic Storm would be a PERFECT theme for a wave for a few years now. A mix of some classic and brand new characters.
