karamazov80 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Heck yeah, we needs all the classic Brotherhood members (Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Toad, Mastermind), Blob, Mimic, and Banshee/Sunfire, for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 One of the con exclusives is indeed X-related, as is an upcoming retailer exclusive pack we haven't announced. But unless there's a big event connected with an anniversary, like a movie about Wolverine or something, I can't see any real impetus for us to coincide with it.

Nessex Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) TWO X-related packs this year that have yet to be announced? Freaking AWESOME! EDIT: oh wait - The Many Faces of Wolverine has already been announced, hasn't it? Still - one more X-pack is reason to be excited Edited June 3, 2013 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroic Slacker Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 So happy to have new X-related 'mates coming soon, I've been fiending for some after reading all the current X-titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants. Took me a second, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks, Ten. I was just headed back to edit my response to "Derp." It is not the Brotherhood, which, while composed mainly of movie stars, is thematically and compositionally similar to Alpha Flight. (A team, and not really a headliner team at that.) The unnamed set is the "unique" set, but it's closer to the Wolverine set than it is the Brotherhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Ten, I was unsuccessfully googling for BOEM. So then, to recap, the unnamed Marvel SDCC 2013 Exclusive set is an unique x-related set with one Uncanny Avenger on it and thematically and compositionally more closer to The Many Faces of Wolverine set than to the hipotetic Brotherbood set, right? Or am I mixing two sets? If i'm not mixing things, being x-related, it means that Havok, Rogue, Sunfire or Wolverine should be on it. Maybe an "X-Men Friends and Foes" set with a mix-up of characters including Sunfire, some overdue Brotherhood and some A-lister? An "X-Men Females" set including Rogue, Storm, Mystique and Jean? "The Many Many faces of Wolverine" including... hurm... Wolverine (Weapon X Wolverine with helmet, I'm looking at you)? Right now, I have no clue what it could be.

karamazov80 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) So not a team. Headliners are likely to be included. What's the current or forthcoming Marvel "event?" And does it include Wolvie, Spidey, Iron Man, and Spidey in another/modified costume in some capacity? Because that is my guess at this point. My second guess would be "Spidey Through the Ages." --edit: I thought the X-set was a retailer exclusive, and not the exclusive Zach is referring to. But. . .very possible I missed something here.

groundhog7s Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I do believe that Chuck has said before that a Spidey TTA probably won't happen. If I remember right that is. I beleive the thinking behind it was that they put enough Spidey's in other waves that doing a set would take away some of those options. I'd love to find where he said that, but I'm pretty sure I'm remembering it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 That's surprising, considering how many wacky variations of Spidey out there. And of course, any given variant could be "upgraded" after a couple of years, so I have a hard time see the flow of potential Spidey 'Mates ever running out.

hellpop Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's a set based around the legendary X-Men softball games, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, could you please translate this to me, sir? Anyway, I think we'll get some Brotherhood love soon mainly because the blatant absence of them in the Wave 50 poll. Maybe we get lucky with the x-related upcoming retailer exclusive pack that Zach mentioned. For God's sake, put three Wolverines with Toad and I'm sold!

I'm just having a lark with your typo, ....it just reminded me of Jive talk which never fails to tickle me. On a serious note...... I was playing around this morning trying to pose a Minimate,any Minimate,into a typical 'Toad' stance with little success ,maybe that is the reason we have no Toad ?
