The Through the Ages Suggestion Thread

Recommended Posts

So I mentioned in the box set suggestion thread that we should have a separate thread for playing around with "Through the Ages" sets. I figured that I'd get it started with my favorite Marvel character: Hawkeye!!!!!

Three figures I feel are definites. There's the first appearance look:

And Goliath:

Which, with a few extra pieces, doubles as Avengers Forever Hawkeye:

And his great modern costume, by the awesome David Lopez:

But after that, there's a few more possibilities, like Ultimate Hawkeye (sorry for the language):

The short-lived Scott Kolins costume (which I kinda like):

And some truly awful ones:

Personally, I'd go with this one:

Hey, nobody said anything about Clint Barton Through the Ages! :D

You guys will live this suggestion... SPIDERMAN!

1. Wrestler Costume

2. Amazing Bag Man

3. Peter Parker (update)

4. Doppelganger

Thing is, I want all of those characters. So I DO love it.

Well Wrestler costume can go. But Bag Man is the one variant that is just disgustingly unused.

I'm actually surprised that we haven't seen a Spider-Man through the Ages set. I guess not even Chuck can justify that many Spider-Men in a given year (meaning a box set of 4 on top of the numerous retreads we'd see throughout the year).

Ms Marvel would be a good set, but she might not be a big enough name for the concept.

Same for Doctor Strange.

How about She-Hulk? I was never a big fan of her debut (actually only) minimate. Here are the versions I'd include in her TTA set.

Savage She-Hulk (first appearance)

Fantastic Four costume

Lawyer She-Hulk

And my dirty little wish... She-Hulk in lingerie

The 'Cap through the ages' set became an overnight rarity whilst the 'Wolvie through the ages' is an embarrassment. Just saying.

The Wolverine one has always perplexed me, because it doesn't actually include... y'know... Wolverine. They're all Logans (or James Howlett, I guess).

What really bugged me is that DST released the Secret Invasion box set around that time, which had a FA Wolverine taking up a slot that could have gone to someone sorely needed (MOCKINGBIRD!!!!!). FA Wolverine would have really filled that Through the Ages set nicely.

I couldn't find a picture of when he was a younger soldier, but that might be better than one of these. I really want an updated version of the first one though.

I think i'd rather see his Cyclops tribute costume (with psimitar):

or his current digs:

x-men-cable-statue-1-4-scale_32064641043

Than the recent Rob Liefeld look of the plain grey . . .

even wouldn't mind his costume from when Rogue let a team not long ago:

Chaz - JUST as i was reading through the last post about Cyclops i thought to myself 'You know what . . . we REALLY do need some Rogue variants to flesh out older teams!'

You - my boy - are some kind of mind-reader. The set you have put together is EXACTLY what i was thinking of. I was toying with the idea of a Shi'ar suit rogue

- but then decided the first 4 you mentioned were all way more important!

Hmmm, I actually like the first and third ones you posted more than the second and fourth ones I posted. Psimitar would be an awesome accessory to have too.
