Juggernaut really was a big win for that set though. I suspect that he would have helped move more of that set than a figure like Cerise or Kylun could ever hope to do. Don't get me wrong. I desperately want a Micromax too.... but Xavier's well known 1/2 brother and long time adversary who has appeared in video games, multiple cartoons and a movie (sort of) was always going to be an easier sell than the most obscure characters from the X-Men's weird, British, fairy-filled spin-off.

Completely agreed but my point is that logic isn't necessarily logical when it comes to who makes what assortment or group. Therefore we could easily see an Agents of SHIELD named set that then has the comics versions of characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermatt Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 So is Hydra Cap and Ironheart still in this set or the toys r us set? Ashley Barton is ok, but i'd still like to see Spider-Punk or Madam Web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 We think so, Matt. They would be the two we're less sure about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say it louder for the people in the back, Zach! I'm fairly stoked for a new Old Man Logan figure to drop. This wave has me very excited regardless.

stack32 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I guess I'll buy Old Man Logan for the jacket (why would we forget?) but I'll almost certainly wait for it to be marked down. Not sure why a completely different look in a vaguely related movie would make this 'mate more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegron01 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 So, it seems like (most of!) the mystery of this wave has been solved and I'm certainly looking forward to it finally being revealed next week. However, it just struck me as pretty amazing that we actually have a thread here with over 400 posts for a wave that we haven't even seen yet! What then also struck me is how great it is that Zach has been providing us with all of the clues. It's been a very long time since wave 73 was revealed (I'm actually not sure why such a big gap but I guess there must be a reason) but all of the speculation resulting from the clues has given us plenty of interest in the meantime, which is a great thing! Now, I wonder who's in TRU 24... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can we also include everyone from the Mark Bagely Spider-Man set too?

Mnemosis Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I ALSO want everyone from the Jim Lee cards which, coincidentally, are being celebrated as variant covers coming up. 90s X-Factor, the remaining Liefeld X-Force, Maverick, Masque, the Goblin Queen, Stryfe and the MLF, the Warwolves, and Sat-yr-9 all stand out.

Mnemosis Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 https://uncannyxmen.net/cards/x-men-series-1-1992 Black Tom, Proteus, Lilandra, the Star Jammers, and the Imperial Guard would seem the most glaring omissions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermatt Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Star Jammers and Proteus are characters high on my list of must haves or must makes. Along with Tombstone, Hammer Head, The Trapster and Silvermane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the Avengers only got card love in the general MU sets back in the day... sigh) *Pulls out folder full of priceless/worthless 90's x-men cards. Blows dust from binder and opens it up* Ok - so, from the old Jim Lee card series in 1992 and 1993, the following characters are missing comic book minimates: Arcade, Black Tom, Brian Braddock, Caliban (as Death), Calisto, Cerise, Deathbird, Fenris Twins, Fitzroy, Gatecrasher, Gideon, Hazard, Kylun, Lilandra, Lockheed, Masque, Maverick, Mojo II, Phantasia, Proteus, Roma, Sat-Yr-9, Saturnyne, Sauron, Shadow King, Shinobi, Shiva, Siena Blaze, Silver Fox, Strong Guy, Stryfe, Tolliver, Warwolves,Widget. However, there are also some pretty distinctive costumes for certain characters we haven't gotten either: Havok – X-Factor Multiple Man – X-Factor Phoenix – Rachel Summers Polaris – Blue X-Factor and Red X-Factor Sunspot - X-Force Warpath - X-Force Wolfsbane – X-Factor And then there are all the characters who didn't get their own individual card, but appear on a 'team' card: Acolytes - Fabian Cortez, Klein Brothers, Delgado (plus Milan, Voght, Uniscione - all mentioned, not pictured) Brotherhood – Thornn (Mentioned, not shown) Dark Riders – Barrage, Foxbat, Gauntlet, Hardrive, Psynapse, Tusk Excalibur – Micromax, Feron Imperial Guard – Gladiator, Titan, Starbolt, Smasher, Tempest, Earthquake, Oracle MLF –Thumbelina, Wildside, Reaper, Forearm, Zero, Kamikaze (plus Tempo, Strobe, Dragoness, Rusty, Skids, Samurai, Sumo - all mentioned, not pictured) Nasty Boys – Gorgeous George, Hairbag, Rmrod, Ruckus, Slab Six Pack – GW Bridge, Grizzly, Hammer, Weapon X (Kane) Starjammers – Corsair, Hepzibah, Raza, Ch’od, Cr’reee (Pictured, not mentioned), Binary (plus Sikorsky - mentioned, not pictured) Technet - Yap, Scatterbrain, Ringtoss, China doll, Waxworks, Ferro, Joyboy, Body Bag, Thug, Numbers (I have no idea who is shown and who isn't) Upstarts – Graydon Creed W.H.O - Dr Alistair Stuart, Alison Stuart I may have missed some - but that's mostly the gist of it.

Mirymate Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Again.. as long as everyone in these cards also gets a minimate http://www.spiderfan.org/cards/1994_bagley/index.html I'm game for all those X-Folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 So many excalibur references in a thread that's nothing to do with them also WARWOLVES!!!!!!! WARWOLVES!!!!!!!!!! WARWOLVES!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigarillo Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 So we are looking at this for 74? Old man Logan / Ashley Barton Spidey Red King / Hulk (planet or gladiator) Surtur / some variation of Thor Hydra Cap / Ironheart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we could get Anya or someone else for the Spiderverser. Big 90s Kaine would be a nice dream that'll never happen. Or recent Ben jackal. If only Chuck could make this a set Edit: also maybe it's just cause he's my favorite but I think classic Scarlet Spider Ben could use a redo. Minimates have come a long way since the FYE exclusive. I mean if they made red suit jackal Ben all they'd need is a different chest block and mask head for Scarlet Spider... but alas I think Barton is probably right :/ Edited July 10, 2017 by The Scarlet Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
