    Should be, one will be in the '80s set, since the look is the same. 

    This must be Sinister, since Scott and Jean's looks did not debut until the 1990's

    I meant I should have put a smiley on mine. Let's stop not fighting. It's like those super-polite cartoon chipmunks. LOL

    PS I hope this post does not offend. :)

    I will put down my white glove..., for now

    That sounds like a call for one of my favorite things on the board, rampant speculation.

    And reading hidden messages in Zach's words (that he never intended). 🤣

    I don't know if I should feel seen or attacked by this. Probably both 😁

    And depending on how you count, there are three villains. 

    So, my guess:

    -likely a Goblin Queen

    -likely a DarkChylde (demon or fully armored)

    -Inferno-corrupted versions of X-characters (Malice is probably too much to ask for, but one can hope)

    - I hope S'ym/N'astirh (or both!!!)

    -Maybe that new Mister Sinister finally sees the light of day

    -oh, and the mini has gotta be either baby Nathan or age-regressed Illyana

    My heart yearns for a set commemorating the Brood Saga, off the heels of the relatively recent Phoenix wave. Although, I recognize that it may not be "80s" enough. 

    Sprite
    Deathbird
    Brood-Infected Wolverine
    Binary
    Maybe another Starjammer, Ch'od & Cr'reee?

    But, like I said, this storyline is the last gasp of the Cockrum era. Very 70's, not really 80s. 

    As I have said before, I would buy the s#!t out of this!

    I don't think so. Series 85 (Spider-Verse) is getting its packaging approved now, so 86 (Spidey set #2) will be hopefully be offered in a couple of months, and MAYBE ship before end of year. The X-set is Series 87, so it would PROBABLY be early 2025. 

    Did I miss Series 86? this is not the one with Peter Porker, correct? Were these formally announced?

    No plans for new/current X-Men looks -- I think we've decided that new and fresh is not always the best way to go, in case looks turn out to be short-lived or not well-received. The next few sets are decidedly nostalgic, and the X-Men set we have planned is very 1980s. BUT it does have an obscure X-Villain in it!

    Are we still talking Inferno? Is it N'astirh? S'ym? When will these be announced formally? This is my favorite X-Men era!

    They are still selling the Eternia Battleground Set on Mattel Creations online and I believe there are rumors floating around about a few more sets but it has been a slow trickle the last year or two. Nothing new since I'd say middle of last year or so I believe.

    MOTU Minimates would go so very well with my Thundercats, TMNT, GIJoe, Transformers, D&D and Real Ghostbusters mates and then I just need heroes and villains box sets from SilverHawks and we will be cooking with my childhood 80s cartoon classics.

    Although Id also take Bravestarr, COPS, Tigersharks, Voltron, Robotech, DotE, G-Force, Super Friends (Return of DC Mates) and MASK. Though that last one really screams for vehicles. Oh well, they are my dreams so bring it all on DST!

    What ever he said, I second it!

    "The Ninja" and Master Khan

    I made some minor mods to the Ninja, including the "Book of Many Things," a mystic book from which his bound soul could inhabit a human host body. For Master Khan, I added the pink fringes to his sleeves for comic accuracy and a bit more visual interest.

    Steel Serpent and Lei Kung the Thunderer

    A father and son two-pack. I updated Steel Serpent's green to be more comic-accurate, and printed a decal to capture the unique texture of his loincloth. For Lei Kung, I was never satisfied with the painted Bullseye mask, so i printed decals instead. 

    H'ylthri and Ferocia

    No changes to either. Fun fact: as a plant person from K'un Lun, this H'ylthri is technically an army builder.

    Yu-Ti and Shao Lao the Undying

    No Iron Fist collection would be complete without the "August Person in Jade" and the dragon that conferred the power of the iron fist to its namesake. No changes here. I had "halved" and glued a MiniMate head to create a moving joint between the torso pieces, and initially had more sections. It never quite worked out though. If I ever re-did this guy, I'd forego the joint and simply stack torso pieces for a cleaner look.

    As always, if you'd like to attempt any of these I'm happy to share recipes. 

    These are absolutely amazing!
