Kostisfire Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I don't think there are 2 army builders, but we did just get 2 in Wave 18. Eight different figures. Not themed, a pretty diverse group. Avengers, X-Men, GOTG and Spider-Man. No overlap with 60. BUT one overlap with 59. 1. Iron Man/Ronan. No other GOTG-related characters. 2. New costume/re-do. Ties in to another box set. 3. New costume/army builder. 4. Re-do/Re-do. There's one army builder, which I'd say is AIM, since it's been a long while since we last got them, and they're pretty pricey on the after market.

Everyone else in 19 we've gotten comic Mates of before, but three not for a long time, and I believe all three have been asked for. Two are new (or recent) costumes for Marvel mainstays. One is a returning army-builder. You're taking that to mean the army builder hadn't been made for a long time, but that phrasing is ambiguous. Three of the remaining six figures haven't been made for a long time. Then Zach says two are recent costumes and one is a returning army builder. Tough to say if that's a break down of the three that haven't been made for a long time or if that's describing the other three figures in the wave. Because beyond the Sentinel, what figure from 59 would make any kind of sense? Edited August 7, 2014 by Mnemosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm thinking it's Avengers themed, if there's a theme at all. It could be four A-Lister/Villain pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm getting confused. Too much cross pollenation going on already. No army-builder. Eight characters. That's all we got to go on for Series 60, right? ("Series 60." Holy cow.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Since this is about Wave 60, I'm just gonna go ahead and post these here: Under Siege was the first thing I thought of as well. I suspect the "we're trying something different" thing is a vs. theme. IE Thor vs the Wrecker, Captain America vs Bulldozer. And I think that would be great.

And... 60 is themed, though. Three new semi-classic hero looks (plus one re-do), four new classic villains.

Zexion_Armando Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm happy with the classic looks confirmation and villain confirmation. ... 80s-90s cosmic? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm getting confused. Too much cross pollenation going on already.Age of Ultron then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Not Age of Ultron or Under Siege. We are doing Vs., but the new thing we're trying is not that. I think we've done several all heroes vs. all-villains waves before, although maybe not a themed one. 47 was FF themed, heroes vs. villains, I'm sure there were others. Forgot that two of the heroes have never been made before, either! Should make people happy all around. Two instant teams, too! ...Man, I hope this gets approved.

fwoosheyman Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Ok I'm guessing it's a West Coast Avengers/Wrecking Crew setup for the entire wave. My guess would be: War Machine (white/black armor)/Wrecker Mockingbird/Bulldozer Tigra/Thunderball Wonderman (redo)/Piledriver Mockingbird and Tigra gives the rest of West Coast Avengers and a complete Wrecking Crew.

youbastards Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 So this thing you are trying to do that is new, does it involve the 'mates themselves or the packaging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Could the trying something new mean smaller figures for Marvel, such as Power Pack or Runaways? I love these threads when there is so much open potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It's amazing how fast we went from the post-SDCC "marvel minimates are clearly dead, I'm selling my collection" to "SQUEEEEEEE" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 ive put up with a lot of the negativity around here because I knew as soon as DST announced something involving "new marvel characters" people would jump right back onto the bandwagon ive always been on the bandwagon myself, im looking forward to just about everything upcoming, though 4 NEW villains is pretty awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I... don't know WHAT to think. Wrecking Crew was the first thing I thought when Zach said four new villains. The "Instant team" comment all but confirms it. And I can't think of any other team we could really get that would make sense with the WC and be completed with just four figures. So WC/WC makes sense. Tray shots will likely sell me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
