Nessex Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) We've got a LOT of speculation going for an all Spidey wave. I know it's not been officially declared that it wont be a Spidey wave, but didn't Zach mention that Miles is for a TRU Exclusive 2-pack & NOT tied into a LCS wave? Don't want to be the bubble-burster, but i also don't wanna see angry fandom meltdown when wave 43 turns out not to be an 'Obscure Spidey' Wave.

Valo487 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 If it's not I'm fine with that as long as they don't turn it into a Rehash wave, we've had a lot of those lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Have they given a concrete statement on how close variants need to be? Not trying to call you out or anything, I'm just curious. I cannot give you an exact quote, (NR? NorthRaider? Need a look up here, my friend) but I do remember a statement that variants were going to be limited to variations of the non-chase figure rather than a different character. It seems to me they started this rule about the same time as they started the army builders, but it may be earlier. They justify the Spider-Girl/Ult. Spider Woman sets by the characters being so very similar. (in theory) Of course, they also once promised to never re-release a chase figure later on. So whatchagonnado? We've got a LOT of speculation going for an all Spidey wave. I know it's not been officially declared that it wont be a Spidey wave, but didn't Zach mention that Miles is for a TRU Exclusive 2-pack & NOT tied into a LCS wave? Don't want to be the bubble-burster, but i also don't wanna see angry fandom meltdown when wave 43 turns out not to be an 'Obscure Spidey' Wave. Can't speak for the rest of the gang, but I for one am operating under the assumption that we're guessing a combination of Zach's clue, and Chuck's "spider-wave with SHIELD army builder" comment. Whether that's 43 or not, I know not. Wheher the comments are related, I know not. But that's the game we're playing right now. If we're wrong, so be it.

Rheul Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Boomerang is a huge want. Some of my favorite comics are Hulk vs Boomerang stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowlar Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'd be all for a version of the Beetle armor with Mach 1, 2, 3, or 4 armor variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I second the love for Boomerang, I always thought his costume would make a really cool 'mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I second the love for Boomerang, I always thought his costume would make a really cool 'mate. Agreed. I never ended up customizing him because I have always been counting on DST to make him. Actually that applies to nearly everyone on my list above.

Mystery Man Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 As a life-long Marvel & Spider-Man fan, I'm ALL for this Deadly Foes line-up! I hope if they do a SHIELD army builder they'll include a female torso piece as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I hope if they do a SHIELD army builder they'll include a female torso piece as well. I wouldn't mind seeing two separate army builders. A Generic Male one & a generic female one. I know it's contentious to be requesting double-ups of army builders when we have so many yet to make, but Shield is one group that could really do with proper treatment. The female ones could some with a reversible head and short dark Maria Hill hair & longer, blonde whats-her-name hair too! It's kind of an army builder while also getting two specific characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Dude they could do an entire SHIELD LCS wave to my mind. Nick, Dum-Dum, Gabe, Clay Quatermaine, Sharon Carter, Maria Hill, and generic soldiers. And that would still be leaving out Jasper, Val, Peggy, and G.W. Bridge.

manthony8899 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'd like a transformation carnage with removable parts like the transformation venom. Hobgoblin with dark face similar to magnetos alt. Head with glider and a morbius. Amazing bag man variant. 1st appearence punisher with a Spiderman.Peter Parker with a camera web shooters? How about a spider man man spider like the six arm Spiderman but with spider claws and it might need a head sculpt with fangs that would be cool!!!

boyd Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Major tease for the next wave now up at Marvel.com. Looks like it's a "Death of Jean DeWolfe" themed wave? - New Jonah? New DD! Sin-Eater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) I see a skirt!!!!! COME ON AUNT MAE!!!!!!!...Definitely (someone) holding a newspaper on the right.

buttheadsmate Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Daredevil NEEDS to be painted red not cast in red plastic . I'm over the moon that we might get Betty Brant ,JJJ or Joe Robertson Edited October 3, 2011 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) - Black Costume Spidey (a nice improvement) - Red Costume Daredevil - Betty Brant - J Jonah Jameson - Sin Eater - Jean Dewolff or Aunt May - SHIELD Agent (Army Builder) My guess at the corresponding TRU 2-pack: - Kingpin / Robbie Robertson Edited October 3, 2011 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Easy. Sin-Eater/Daredevil J Jonah Jameson/Spider-man Captain DeWolff/616 Shield Variant Aunt May/616 Sheild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I can't see them giving us Aunt May without Uncle Ben. I'm wondering if it's not Betty Brant. Also that looks a lot like a policeman's hat and revolver to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Not horrible, really. That new Black Suited Spidey, while annoying, is a nice improvement. JJJ and Aunt May are always welcome, of course. And I may have been one of the biggest advocates of a new Daredevil and the SHIELD Agents, so it's extremely cool to get them finally. What stands out the most is Jean Dewolff. I didn't know who she was so i resorted to Google. Got a few in her skirt/hat outfit which seems to be the one we're getting, but in one of them, someone ELSE is in that outfit: Chameleon. Is it possible we'll get an alternate head for him with Jean?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Besides SHIELD agents and Daredevil, if this wave is what it seems to be, then what a dud. Who the hell even needs a DeWolff minimate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It might not even be SHIELD agents... it might be NYC police officers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 nah it is a shield agent look at the side arm. that is standard shield issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 That's... an interesting way to justify (much-needed) updates to two figures we would otherwise complain about as wasted slots... on the whole, though, it seems like a bit of a soft wave. Two anchor characters surrounded by a really, really obscure villain who hasn't appeared in almost 25 years, and (if the JJJ/Aunt May guesses are right), two not-super-exciting civilians (sorry, I say that considering the perspective of a casual collector, not a hard-core completist). It looks like that army builder (?) has some kind of hat thing on... could that just be a police officer and not a SHIELD agent? It kind of looks like glove cuffs on there, too... hmmm...
