Captain Marvel or Dare Devil for me. Thor and Cyclops would be good, but we basically already have most of the possible variations on these guys. Captain Marvel could be a ten pack...

The only Through The Ages set I'd be interested in would be:

Punisher:

1. Classic Punisher (black gear with white boots, gloves, belt, and skull...not blue, not gray, but BLACK)

2. Captain America Punisher

3. Camo pants, t-shirt, face paint Punisher

4. Black cargo pants, black t-shirt Punisher

(with extra parts to give him a brown trench coat or a black trench coat)

Please and thank you!

I doubt this would have enough appeal for the casual buyer, but I would really love to see a Jean Grey Through the Ages set. It would be the perfect place for our Marvel Girl in green dress. There could be a Jean in her original civilian attire when she first came to Xavier's (poodle skirt, pillbox hat), A new stab at Dark Phoenix with awesome effects would be cool (though I know she wasn't literally Dark Phoenix); then you could also throw in Jean in the yellow and red X-factor get-up or any number of her modern costumes. She could also come with a little translucent cocoon to keep her suspended under Jamaica Bay while Phoenix runs amok in her place. :)

I've never felt that any of the Punishers have been perfect so I like the idea of this set .

Oh really? I kinda thought Best Of 2 nailed it.

I honestly didn't expect to care about the Punisher at all, but he was one of the stand-outs of that wave for me .

And Wes - you're not the first person to suggest a Jean Grey TTA :)

I'd be all over that set!

My favourite Minimate Punisher is the movie version ...that is one hell of a minimate IMO. As much as I like the Best of W2 'he' isn't the version of Punisher that I identify with , that version is the ASM #129 version which ....for emphasis .... was the one I first saw 41 years ago confused.gif We've had a minimate version of that one &...... I'm sorry......but the toothless chest logo was an epic fail .

The FA Punisher minimate would probably be more appealing if it was more like the cover of the issue and less like the interior art.

Best of 2 is good, but I would have liked it much more if it was black instead of blue. It's not necessarily a bad choice, just not my preference. Not a huge fan of the head and hair either.

yeah - i can't argue with you about the movie punisher. That bulky little armour piece with the stylised logo is hard to beat.

I never noticed that PA Punisher had no teeth! i can see why that'd be a problem for a Frank fan now.

Man, a Capt Marvel through the ages set would be fantastic, I would prefer: Current Captain Marvel, an updated Cockrum (lightning bolt) design, original (with exposed belly and farrah fawcet hair) and Binary costume. Wishful thinking: including pieces to de-powered Binary and a second original costume chest block like the Dark Ages release but in a lighter red.

A set with Current Carol, Genesis-vell, Mar-vell and Rick would be pretty awesome too.

We've already seen so many versions of Cable, but a TTA set with a Stryfe would be awesome.

The first Punisher ever with Battle Damaged Captain America is still the best to me.

I agree, it just looks way outdated now.

Yet again I agree with both of you .....to a degree. Nothing identifies the age of a Minimate more than the syle of its 'face' & [that] Punisher's face instantly says "I'm a ten year old Minimate" ......nothing too much wrong with being old whistling.gif but it becomes harder to blend in with the new . That first Pun/Cap set is a classic ........even the packaging is fairly unique .

I'll confess to not studying this whole thread .....has anyone mentioned Thor ? Tales of Asgard Thor (very young) .....female Thor .....Thunderstrike ...... the list is almost endless .

You're thinking "haven't we had enough Thors ?" After 20 or so 'mate versions maybe I'd agree but there is one thing that identifies any 'Thor' I've ever seen in a comic or in a movie that continues to be sadly missing with all the ones we've had in minimate form ........biceps ....big biceps ....massive biceps . Google 'Thor' [images] & you'll see instantly that every single incarnation of Thor has massive biceps/arms ....his costumes, generally sleeveless are designed to emphasise this singularly most important feature..... his biceps & massively strong arms .

No big biceps = no lifting of Mjolnir = no Thor . There are some nice Thor Minimates ...most of them in fact ....except for their arms .......IMHO of course. Easy fix .yes.gif

Anybody reading 'Thor' at the moment ? If you are take note of how her distinctly feminine,slender arms appear to be developing page by page , issue by issue . It's not coincidence .
