hellpop Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 So it's probably a big early for this, but over the weekend I just finished reading this: And MAN would this make for a cool exclusive. You'd obviously have to cut one of them, since there's five members of the Sinister Six; I'd go Boomerang, Beetle, Overdrive and Speed Demon, since Shocker wasn't as... involved with the team throughout the run, and there's already a shocker figure to sub in a pinch. Throw in the head of Silvermane, maybe a corgi, and you've got yourself a box set! I know it's probably a long shot, but I could see this set doing well with a comic con crowd that goes for the more offbeat, like the Deadpool sets. Heck, CM Punk likes this book! You could get CM Punk into Minimates!!!! Any other exclusive suggestions (he asks, knowing full well this thread is about to be taken over by Moon Knight Through the Ages suggestions...)?

Shanester Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 We already have a good Shocker. My concern would be the lack of popularity with the other four. Maybe its a moot point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Uh, let me think......MOON KNIGHT THROUGH THE AGES! Seriously though, I'd absolutely LOVE a Superior Foes 4-pack. You could release a Shocker/Living Brain 2-pack in a Spidey wave later down the line to complete the team. As for other suggestions, well, here's what I'd like to see: 1)Illuminati: Namor, Black Panther, Beast, Doctor Strange 2)GotG: Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, poseable Rocket (movie Groot is fine as is) 3)Ultimates: Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Wasp, Ant-Man 4)Bondage-Men: Magik, Emma, Cyclops, Magneto 5)2099: Spider-Man, Doom, Punisher, Ghost Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) how about an unworthy/Roxxon Thor 4-pack Unworthy Thor (with extra metal arm) New Female Thor Minotaur/ Transforming Dario Agger Comic Malekith Edited April 6, 2015 by Nervous Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Last year's was a tie-in to the DOFP movie. That didn't seem to do very well. (It should have been a complementary set to add to the movie assortment but... ) So I'd rule out Fantastic Four, Ant-Man, or Avengers tie-ins. That leaves a Spider-Man or X-Men set, given their popularity. And since we got an X-Men set last year, there's a better chance DST will shake things up and offer a Spider-set, possibly to coincide with Spider-verse. I'm going with Web Warriors: Spider-Man Spider-Man Noir Iron Spider Spyder-Knight (Or Moon Knight Through the Ages. That'd be friggin' awesome.)

fwoosheyman Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Since when didn't the DOFP set do well? There's gotta be an Avengers boxset of somekind, due to AOU. Also, Walking Dead boxset, Translucent TMNT and Predator Jay & Silent Bob (Zombie 2 pack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm expecting an Ultron story boxset, but ugh, Uncanny Now, now and forever, to end my ceaseless whining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 We're doing two one-packs, one two-pack, two four-packs and a five-pack. Two of those are exclusive to other retailers. No TWD set this year. One is not a traditional Minimates release. Promos TBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No TWD set this year. One is not a traditional Minimates release. Promos TBD. Curious about the "not" traditional Minimates Minimates. . .but I'll ignore that for the purpose of rampant speculation: One packs: -ALF -Jack Kirby Two pack: -Nighthawk/Hellcat Four packs: -The Beatles -Frightful Four (original version) Five pack: -Husker Du + Hall and Oates Sounds like a good year to be at SDCC IMO.

karamazov80 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 In fairness, the writing has been on the wall about the Husker Du/Hall and Oates set for quite some time. I'm just connecting the dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Of all bands, why Husker Du and Hall and Oates? Just curious. I'd be down for a Bob Mould Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm going to guess that the 5 pack is Spinal Tap. It's really just a 3 pack that goes to 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Because they're awesome. And that jerk Jordan won't allow his likeness rights to be used for a New Kids on the Block (Figure) set.

Seriously though, two of their drummers shouldn't be a problem, with alternate dead expressions/bodies/accessories. Maybe the Stonehenge Leprechaun?

hellpop Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 You need Mick Shrimpton and the keyboardist (his name escapes me) to accurately capture the band at the time of the movie. Accessories must include Nigel's double necked guitar, Derrick's pipe, and a Stonehenge triptych. Oh, and an all black record, of course.
