MinnesotaIceman Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 X-Villains you say? In keeping with my love of obscure or utterly cr@p x-villains, maybe we could get: Number 1 Fan & Peepers Thumbelina & Kali Romulus & ... GIDEON I've never heard of any of those characters.

youbastards Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Would they redo the old DOFP Wolverine variant? Because I'd love to get him and the GSXM box set Thunderbird redone! But I thought the rule was they would never be remade and were "exclusive". Thunderbird is sorely in need of a redo, IMO. I'd love to see a redone Thunderbird, classic Sunfire, and Banshee all released in the same wave. Yeah, a Thunderbird redo would be cool, especially if he came with alternate parts to make X-Force Warpath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X-Force Warpath we have now is decent, but I'd prefer a bulked-up version of him at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 So this has basically just devolved into an X-Men wish list thread? That was quick. And where's Xorn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yay, wishlisting! Alright, let's get it on: LCS: NOW! Cyclops/ NOW! Magik NOW! Emma/NOW! Magneto Mystique/Purifier Quentin Quire/Purifier TRU: Thunderbird/Sunfire Legacy Rogue/Xorn Banshee/Siryn Black Tom/Gambit And 2 Brotherhood box sets would be swell (nycc exclusives) 1)Avalanche Blob Pyro Quicksilver 2)Toad Mastermind Destiny Omega White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegron01 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Just a thought amid all the xmen speculation: it's actually been longer since there was an all spidey comic wave than xmen, and he also has a movie coming out earlyish next year...

Very true. However, I'm sure we're getting an X-themed wave soonish due to the heavy hinting that DSTChuck did in the Q&A's. X-Men also have a movie coming next year as well, and I think Movie Spidey mates are more of a sure thing than Movie X-Men. I would LOVE to be wrong as I'd much prefer Movie X-Men which we're really lacking, versus Movie Spidey that can be covered in pretty much 2 2-packs. Another Spidey themed comic wave coming soon wouldn't surprise me either. I did like the mixed feel of the last one with the TRU overlap including Daredevil characters, and I'd hope to see that Typhoid Mary that's also been suggested. Whatever we get, whatever corner of the MU is covered, I just want to see more classic comic designs. There's still a long way to go before we ever reach the bottom of the barrel, and they just interest me far more than movie or current storylines do.

And don't get me wrong, I think an xmen wave is as likely as spidey, I was just pointing out that there are other strong options to xmen.

Zexion_Armando Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would like a Battle of the Atom boxset/wave. Uncanny Now! Set, then an Adjectiveless boxset (Modern Rachel, Modern Rogue, Modern Kitty, and Lady Xorna (with Xorn pieces) I thought Xorn was Magneto? retconned. Lol marvel didn't like that Morrison made Magneto a drug addicted cliche, so Xorn became an imposter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm definitely hoping the next wave is an Xmen series over Spidey. There's a lot more left to cover in the Xmen area, compared to Spidey. There's enough Spidey stuff for me with TRU 17 and Spidey 2 movie mates (yea they haven't been announced but u know they coming) Also the Spidey characters I'd like to be made probably have little chance (chameleon, classic beetle, tombstone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that like it's a bad thing! I was a huge Palisades Muppets collector back in the day. The company rep said their biggest problem was they did all of teh iconic versions first and were not left with much new to do, only variants. Marvel isn't going to have that problem. How many versions of classic Cap, Iron Man, etc do we have? They get refreshed somewhat regularly. I feel like DST could easily knock out every classic character still unmade and it wouldn't hurt their sales, they'd still have new movies, plenty of Modern stuff, and could still redo and refresh classic characters as needed. Marvel will never have a bottom to their barrel, but classic designs will. So yeah, scrape that barrel, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a future wave they should feature Mach-V, with classic Beetle as the variant (or vice versa). Satisfy both Thunderbolts and Spidey fans.

Valo487 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 If we get an X-Men wave where yet again The Brotherhood is absent completely, it's going to get flat out ridiculous. I know Mojo has his fans, but we need Toad, Blob, Pyro and Avalanche before we need Mojo in my opinion. Toad especially is just absurd in his absence.

Josh2382 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think we need at least one before 2014's end. We haven't had a definitive version of any of the four, it seems, and even I(an often lurking,mostly easy to please mate lover)am beginning to think it's about time. However, I believe I would prefer them in a boxset that joins a wave compared to a wave. To me, boxsets just feel different when you open up the themed box.

stack32 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Seems to me the problem with the Brotherhood is that the characters are "important" rather than popular. They have a long history of... existing. They're kind of like the Wrecking Crew in that there are various reasons why the group is notable but the characters aren't terribly compelling. And the costumes are pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blob is a flat bloke in a wrestling singlet. Makes sense given his carnival background. Toad was portrayed as Magneto's lackey early on, the court jester look makes sense. And Mastermind doesn't have a costume. Edited September 14, 2013 by bigvis497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
