pappymojo Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Saw this old thread and immediately thought of Dr Strange. Although not an A-list character he has been around for years and is not represented at all. There has been not even one classic Dr Strange villain released unless you count Dormammu from MvC, which I don't (don't recognize the look). Would love to see Dormammu in his classic look and Nightmare, along with Baron Mordo (who may not be as visually appealing as the other two). If you want to count Eternity as Dr Strange I'd count him as well. A year ago I may have said Cap but I think it's safe to say with wave 54 and 18 he's covered. With the dozens of Hulks we've gotten we have almost no villains for him to fight.. no Doc Samson, and new Abomination and Leader are sorely needed. Awesome we got Maestro, though. I'd also count DD - would like Owl, Gladiator, 80's Typhoid Mary and a new Bullseye due to how hard he is to find. Even if he came with Thor, I consider Absorbing Man a Hulk villain. I assume Robo-Hulk is a Hulk villain too. Really? I'd always considered Absorbing Man a Thor villain. The great majority of stories I've read of him he's fought Thor. Yes you're right.. Robo-Hulk/Gremlin does count, sweet set too. Like the alternate look a lot with the classic Gremlin decal. Still pretty sparse though! Where's ZZzax and the U-Foes? Those would be awesome. Looking into it, you're correct - he's more of a Thor villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The newbies of the 90's. Darkhawk, Sleepwalker, New Warriors, Solo, Prowler, Generation X... NFL SuperPro... The NFL Superpro corner wins hands down. We haven't gotten any of his signature villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I am the poster child on these forums for 90's X-Factor and Generation X, and every time her name comes up, I toss my vote in for this Typhoid Mary: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I definitely want to see Typhoid Mary one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Especially since Typhoid Mary is a major villain in X-women, alongside Enchantress, new Deathstrike, Selene, and Maddy Pryor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that psycho chick shit, it's really hot. I have issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Let's hear it for 90s xfactor! But, I wouldn't call that a "corner" and so I'll say "teen heroes for a thousand, Alex" Generation X? Young Warriors? Young Avengers? Avengers Academy? New X-Men Academy? Avengers Arena? We've got Jubilee, Firestar, Nova, Vision, and X-23 to represent the sun total of these books. Penance if you want to push it. I vote: Reptil/Arcade (with alternate classic look pieces) Speedball/Justice Pixie/Purifier Armor/Purifier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Let's hear it for 90s xfactor! But, I wouldn't call that a "corner" ... I wouldn't worry about that, we seem to have gone beyond "corner" and into full wishlist mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The What If? corner seems pretty ripe for the picking. Spidey with a CAPE? The Fantastic FIVE? ROM, the Space Knight! The Avengers of the 1950s! And my favorite: Daredevil, Agent of SHIELD! You have to admit, the What If? concept meshes pretty well with the Minimates play pattern.

hellpop Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Unfortunately, Marvel does not own the rights to ROM. I think doing a What If? box set, with variants of the big guys, would make a lot of sense. There's certainly plenty of source material to choose from.

MisterPL Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 A What If? boxed set would be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, Marvel does not own the rights to ROM. But What If they did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 What If? Venom Punisher. I'm still surprised that one wasn't in the TTA box set, but I guess it wasn't a real version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Venom Punisher and Storm, Goddess of Thunder seem like two good choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm surprised how little we've seen of Venom Punisher in toy form, Marvel seems like they've been chasing that idea ever since that issue came out. I definitely believe that's where the Flash Thompson Venom idea originated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undeadpool Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 how does the Rom license work? since im pretty sure Marvel still owns the Space Knights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Rom was created as a toy for Parker Brothers/Hasbro then licensed to Marvel to create a story to sell the toy. Hasbro owns Rom (or rather they own the name and the armored form- so Rom can and has appeared in Marvel comics since the end of that agreement, just out of armor and under a different name). Marvel created and owns the Spaceknights. They've appeared several times in the last decade or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel created and owns the Spaceknights. They've appeared several times in the last decade or so. They also appeared in the first few issues of Hickman's current Avengers series (a bit before Infinity I think). So yeah, Marvel has the rights to the space knights but not to Rom AS Rom specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hmm. Many corners have been neglected: Eternals (and Deviants). I'd include Celestials in this pile. Squadron Supreme. Thor Villains (Ulik, Surtur, Ymir, Enchantress, Executioner, Grey Gargoyle, Pluto, Ares (classic)). 70's Solo Heroes (Machine Man, Man-Thing, Omega, Jack of Hearts, Bloodstone, Captain Britain (FA), etc.) X-Men Villains, surprisingly (Blob, Unus, Mastermind, Mimic, Mesmero, Sauron, Living Monolith, Toad, Pyro, Avalanche, Destiny, Black Tom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think all would look good in mate form too.. Ulik is kind of shaped like a Minimate anyway and Jack of Hearts could look amazing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, the Rom trademark is now in the hands of Hasbro, and there's a rumor that he might appear as, of all things, a Transformer: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/02/17/will-idw-bring-back-rom-the-space-knight-as-a-transformer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely believe that's where the Flash Thompson Venom idea originated. Venom Punisher was the chase from series 2 of Marvel kubricks. That brings me nicely onto the subject of 'Not Brand Echh' which had a couple of it's characters featured as Marvel kubrick chases ... Peter Porker & Venom Ham . Not Brand Echh anyone ?
