Maverick Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 One of my favorite Minimates waves is the Jean DeWolf Saga. It's one of the most, if not THE most "themed" wave yet to be released in the Minimates Universe. That being said, what other story lines would you most look forward to seeing as a themed Minimates wave? To start, I'd love to see a Second Coming story line. The costumes are still modern and blend well with other recent sets such as AvX. It features many major characters and gives an excuse to release some fun and unique figures as well. 2-packs could feature : Cable w/ baby Hope Hope (w/ phoenix flame) Rogue Nightcrawler (w/ phasing legs) Cameran Hodge Purifiers (army builder) Bastion w/ Nimrod armor Wolverine (berserker rage) PS this is my very first post.

youbastards Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Welcome! X-Cutioner's Song would make a great theme and would be an easy way to work in some 90's X-Factor.

Zexion_Armando Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 1. Maybe an update on the Dark Phoenix Saga (A lot of the figures from this era could use an update) Dark Phoenix (with M'krann Crystal accessory) / Yellow Boots Cyclops White Queen Emma Frost / Sebastian Shaw Mastermind/ Wolverine Lilandra/ Gladiator Maybe take out or throw in some characters, but I feel this would work best for updates and new characters. 2. Murder at the Mansion ( same as above) Quitely Emma Frost / Leather Jean Grey (with phoenix flare accessory) Xorn / Leather Wolverine Leather Cyclops / Stepford Sister Quentin Quire / Stepford Sister Lovely redos, a fix on Emma's flawless X-Flesh costume, 2 sort of demanded characters, and an army builder that fits well (plus Leather Cyclops's costume can be reused a lot, on top of Quire's school uniform) 3. X-men Now! Modern Rachel / Now! Storm Now! Psylocke / Monet Now! Lady Deathstrike / Enchantress Classic Lady Deathstrike / Typhoid Mary The worst wave DST could make, lol.

Tetton517 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I know it will never happen, but I'd like a Mutant Massacre wave. I'm too tired to think of a complete wave right now, but I know I'd want a harpooned Angel and the Morlock Tommy. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060713200154/marveldatabase/images/4/4b/Tommy_%28Morlock%29_%28Earth-616%29.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidman911 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I wish we could get some more packaged sets with Minimates on the art like we did with this featuring you know...modern comics. But for now I'd like some red & blue Bamfs as accessories. Maybe an Amazing X-Men wave: Pirate Nightcrawler & a new mohawk Storm with a blue Bamf Azazel & Beast (Wave 34 Beast would be great) with a red Bamf Iceman (with ice spikes all over) & Fire Star with blue Bamf Northstar & an updated Nightcrawler (it is HIS return) with red Bamf Yeah the series lacks villains but that's never stopped toy makers before. And it could always be condensed into a 4-pack with hopefully 4 Bamfs. The Ghostbusters I Love This Town set got 4 Proton Packs...it would be around the same amount of plastic. I'd love to see some Skottie Young baby Minimates. His babies covers sell like hotcakes so I can imagine the toys selling like crazy too. So darn cute.

cidman911 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) A little off topic buuuuuuuuuuut...I'd love to see Minimates Shadowboxes from DST. I mean they're not that hard to make yourself but if priced right and in a nice looking but cheap plastic box, I think they'd do well. This is one of the cooler Shaboxboxes I've seen in person. Imagine something like this but with Minimates? Ughh...I'd die. I would absolutely die. Edited March 9, 2014 by cidman911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I may be the only person on this planet that feels this way but I have a visceral reaction to Skottie Young's work. I cannot stand it in any capacity and will actually skip issues that he guest pencils. But back on thread... Inferno would be a KILLER line except no headliners I can think of... Goblin Queen with S'ym N'Astirh with DarkChilde Demogoblin with Goblin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Welcome! X-Cutioner's Song would make a great theme and would be an easy way to work in some 90's X-Factor. Cable/Stryfe Professor X /Bulked up Apocalypse X-Factor Havok/Multiple Man X-Factor Polaris/Multiple Man X-Cutioner's song would be cool, but X-Factor needs its own dedicated wave. Getting half the team would drive me bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) The others would just be in a corresponding TRU wave!

Goblin Queen with S'ym N'Astirh with DarkChilde Demogoblin with Goblin No headliners? 1. I can think of a pretty cool blue and white x factor Cyclops we don't have yet !! 2. We're over due for an updated classic Sabretooth costume. 3. Oh and another transformed Wolverine is RIGHT up DST's ally! I'd buy an Inferno themed wave. I could imagine two box sets, featuring heroes and villains. Maybe throw in a TRU two pack so we don't leave anyone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Clone Saga Updated Scarlet Spider / Ben Reilly Spiderman Jackel / Spidercide Classic Kaine / Failed Spiderman Clone Scarlet Spider Kaine / Failed Spiderman Clone I was unfamiliar with this story line but just looked it up.

Valo487 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Clone Sage by a mile. Others I could think of would be creator based, like Dan Slott Spider-Man or Bendis Daredevil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Ive advocated for this before but Avengers Under Siege would give us some great villains and b-listers. We recently got Baron Zemo and Absorbing Man but there are still enough characters to complete a wave or a couple of box sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I was just thinking the same thing. Not sure if there would be a good army builder to go in a wave so maybe boxsets would be better? Something like Cap and Hercules with two villains in one set and Thor and Black Knight with two more villains in another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) So much X-Men love! I would love to see a Mutant Massacre wave, but mostly cause i wants more villains. Something like: White X-Factor Cyclops vs Vertigo Yellow X-Factor Beast (Blue fur) vs Riptide Calisto vs Harpoon X-Factor Caliban vs Archlight. Ok - so it's a TOTALLY fan boy TRU wave that would never actually happen.... but i want some Marauders, dammit! Alternatively, perhaps a Fatal Attractions series could be cool (not to mention more sellable) : Shi'ar exoskeleton Xavier & Moira McTaggert (in yellow jumpsuit & with a bonus lab coat) Exodus & Senyaka Cortez & Acolyte Colossus And because you couldn't have a fatal attractions wave without them...

Nessex Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Oh - and speaking of Awesome stuff from the 90's - i'd love to see a Maximum Carnage wave: Carnage & Shriek Venom & Demogoblin Doppleganger & Deathlock Spider-Man & Nightwatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Mmmm symbionts! Here's one...

MisterPL Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I know I've asked before and been told it's not gonna happen BUT: Minimates from Marvel Movies we never got: Daredevil & Bullseye Elektra & Kingpin Mr. Fantastic & Invisible Woman Human Torch & The Thing Call it a nostalgia wave. There could be a LOT more if they went after previous X-films and the Raimi Spider-Man flicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) You know what else would be awesome? Cosmic Waves. Cosmic Waves would be awesome. DnA Guardians: LCS: Starlord/Rocket Gamora/Warlock (with Cosmo accessory) Groot/Church member Drax/Church member TRU: Martyr/Bug Mantis/Thanos Moondragon/Major Victory Jack Flag/Yondu Annihilation (Annihilation Conquest, Thanos Imperative and in general a cosmic wave) Wave: LCS: Ronan/A more insect looking Annihilus (like the one from the covers) Super Skrull/Quasar (modern) Red Shift/Annihilation wave soldier New Nova Dick/Annihilation wave soldier TRU: Ultron (with the cape and all)/Gladiator Wraith/Quasar (classic) Lord Mar-Vell/Phalanx Ultimate Captain Marvel/Phalanx Oh, oh and a Heralds of Galactus wave (it'll probably never happen but oh well)!

rikfenix Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Been trying to think of a good wave based directly on one story like The Jean DeWolff saga.. harder than it sounds to come up with a full wave with a good number of our assorted wishlist characters with that restriction! Ones I'd be most excited about mentioned would be Acts of Vengeance set YouBastards mentioned (Tiger Shark! Tri-Sentinel! Even Gravitron?!!), Clone Saga and Maximum Carnage (which has both come up here many times) and of course the Dark Phoenix Saga. I'd buy any of these in a heartbeat. Surprised we've never seen a Dark Phoenix Saga wave, actually.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
