I don't think it's surprising that we haven't had a Toad minimate. He's only really been importang as a member of the Brotherhood, and DST has yet to make a Brotherhood that he was a member of. As for the crouch, minimates don't have double-hinged knees, but you can fake a crouch pretty well.

This Toad's certainly been crawling toward an assortment long enough. Now watch; we'll get a Daredevil series with Leapfrog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Minimates can absolutely crouch - it's the only way I pose Wolverines. (Old, literally dusty pic incoming) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 5 hours ago, buttheadsmate said: I'm one of those hankering for a toad but the reason we might not ever get one is probably this.......... you can't pose a standard Minimate in a crouched position . No crouch no Toad ........as in I wouldn't want one , If however someone decides to design one that could crouch ( someone needs to look at a Vorin minimate) then a purpose-made clear stand accessory is essential ......one that could pose him mid-leap . That would be toadly awesome. Did you know ? Frogs leap whilst toads generally crawl . With that argument, we shouldn't have spiderman Minimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyTrev Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 One of Zach's clues was how it isn't title-specific and literally every guess has been a classic X-Men set. Since it's the 15th anniversary, I'd expect a mixture of characters. Toad will be there as well as a requested update and two requested new costumes.

Or Daredevil. Or Captain America. Or Iron Man. Or Supernatural. Or Cosmic. Or even Modern X-Men. Just... not Classic, 60s-80s X-Men. Just... no... Like, are people excited about Green Quicksilver, Magneto Re-Do & Mastermind, if that means getting Toad? We get very few 4-packs compared to the old days, so such a set would make me extremelly dissapointed. Different tastes and all, I know, but... PS: I wouldn't say no to an MK TTA set. Or any new TTA set for that matter. Considering centered waves like 24 have stopped, we could use them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach says it is title-specific, and the Toad clue has people guessing X-Men. I can't say I particularly want Toad, but I've never been too shy about my general lack of interest in the X-Men. And I certainly would vote for a box set covering just about any area of the MU before the X-Men. I do prefer classic to more modern, since that's what I grew up with and the costumes of that era scream "superhero" to me. I find a lot of modern costumes are both too bland and too busy and just leave me unimpressed. Add to the fact that, often, by the time figures are made for a costume, it's already been mothballed.

Whoopsie-doodle. Sorry friends. Carry on with all your X-citement. I'd personally love a Brotherhood v X-Men box set! And now that we know that it's 50% bad guys, I'd think that Toad and Marvel Girl are on lock. I'd be between Juggernaut or classic Magneto for the one of the requested redo's. I can't really think of another classic X-Man that's a requested redo, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMiracle Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Hey yo, So it sounds like we're down to some sort of combination of: Toad / Marvel Girl / green Quicksilver / Prof. X / Magneto / Juggernaut I really hope Toad and Marvel Girl are in. I'd be okay with a green Quicksilver but I feel like it might be Prof. X and Magneto to add some more star power to the set.

hellpop Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I would be surprised if they make green Quicksilver outside of a Brotherhood of Evil Mutants or Cap's Kooky Quartet-themed set. If this is just a Silver Age X-Men set, I doubt he makes the cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's got more minimates than any other female character from the MU. In fact, she has more minimates than Magneto or Xavier, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
