elhonez Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Ha. "Big" MiniMates might be a dead horse, but they'll never stop being beaten. Even when they're just pulp, the ghost of the horse will remain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One with a male suited body, alt heads for: Empath, Jetstream, Thunderbird II (Warpath). Paired with: Catseye cat form. [parts for: Jestream's rig] One with a female suited body, alt heads for: Catseye, Roulette, Tarot. Paired with: updated White Queen. [parts for: Catseye's tail, Roulette's disks, Tarot's cards] That awesome & complete New Mutants team needs someone to fight... Plus, as shown above, you can pop their heads on the suited bodies to flesh out the team. I'd be down for the New Mutants/Hellion Squads from the New X-Men 2 hours ago, elhonez said: Ha.

TENIME_art Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I have never seen those purple costumes before in my life. They're hideous. I absolutely want the New Mutants/Hellions from New X-Men. After Generation X. Which I want after 90's X-Factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 aww, don't hate on history! This is what the Hellions looked like, for their inaugural years. First appearance Warpath! The analogous kid-squad of the Hellfire Club! But yes, their costumes are... vibrant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The problem with that wave idea is you'd have to buy multiple variants to complete the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yeah, that's close enough for rock n' roll. And bafflingly close to differentiate one as "hideous" over the other. They didn't have computer coloring back in the day! Cut 'em some slack. @BuffaloD - you had to buy multiple of wave 60 to complete the team too. That's why I pivoted & suggested a "New Mutants Sentinel" army builder with M/F Hellions as the swap figs. You buy multiple, but at least you get army builders out of it, rather than e.g. multiple Pyros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of that. Being swappers would make them harder to get/complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvis497 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 You could bang out the entire Utopia New Mutants team in one two-pack, budget permitting. One male body, one female body, and a ton of heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be interesting to see but I think it would limit accessories. After all Nova came with multiple heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 That Nova came with one other head. It came with three hairpieces. Maybe a Utopia team would be better off in a 4-pack or across two 2-packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 It depends which characters would need to be there. Legion and X-Man would need to be pretty much completely different figures from the standard uniforms. Warlock and powered-up Magma would be more or less the same as their 80's counterparts. The 616 version of Blink was on this team too, and she wears her own costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I still hold out hope for an AoA X-Man. I stopped reading monthlies during the quarantine storyline, but I really hated the shirtless black pants version of him with that awful chest tattoo.

He is one of the remaining AoA characters I think we need most, along with Wildchild (the only unmade Astonishing X-Man), Bishop, Havok, and X-Force Nightcrawler.
