I've yet to print them out to make it. I'm too lazy for my own good!

Heinous Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 1 hour ago, BuffaloDelorean said: The Mark III was the one I was thinking of too. The one that got a Spider-Man Classics figure, right? I just always think of it as Leila Davis' since she wore it as a member of the Suicide Squad-esque Redeemers. Abe's one of my favourite Marvel characters, so I'd take both of those designs, as well as the original Mark I with suction cup fingers. Plus Mach-I to X from his time on the T-Bolts. I haven't gotten around to reading Superior Foes yet, but I'd definitely like a Janice Lincoln Beetle, especially if we got the rest of the "Six". Classic Mark II Abe should come first though, IMO. You Def need to read superior foes. It's great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man-Spider/Tombstone Shocker (w/Silvermane head)/Speed Demon Abe Jenkins Beetle/ Janice Lincoln Beetle/ So who would our troop builder be? This could be a fun place for mix-and-match masked thugs.

Mnemosis Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 We'd also need a Boomerang/Overdrive pack at TRU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Spider Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) No Hammerhead? I feel he's long overdue :/ but I want tombstone is as well >.< I'd take random thugs. Easier to make for DST probably? Pack em with like 2-3 guns and I'm good. Pistol, rifle, shotgun. This wave is still a total must buy for me though Edited July 13, 2017 by The Scarlet Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard mixed things about Nick Spencer's other work, but everything about Superior Foes has been positive. It's definitely more of a time/cost issue than an interest one. That wave sounds good to me. I wouldn't be interested in Man-Spider or Tombstone, but I'd collect the Superior Foes, and anything that gets me an Abe Jenkins minimate is aces.

Heinous Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I don't think we need another speed demon, the one from Walgreens is pretty much perfect. I'd thrown hammerhead in the mix though. He and tombstone were kinda heavily in the story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I, too, would be fine with Walgreens' Speed Demon but I know many wouldn't. I'd also be totally on board with getting Hammerhead in here somehow, but assume we'd need SOME kind of Spider-Man to anchor the wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 The differences between animated and comic styles don't really bother me, and Walgreens Speed Demon is a great figure, but he still isn't really accurate. Avengers Assemble Speed Demon is black, and 616 Speed Demon is white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Fandral and Hogun not getting minimates is a travesty. The paint apps on the Spider-Man Friends and Foes boxed set are a travesty. The eyes on the first Civil War Iron Man, that's a travesty. That would just be disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mixed reaction I've ever heard regarding Spencer is for Captain America, which, fair enough, but he's one of the best writers in comics right now. Superior Foes is one of the best books Marvel has published this decade. BTW, Overdrive is a super easy quick custom. Save that spot for the female Beetle.

I've heard some negativity for his Astonishing Ant-Man, but not to the degree of his Captain America. Those are the only books of his I can think of right now, but I'm sure he has others. Some people have said they'd like to see him on an Avengers book, which doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Spider Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 If I were gonna get Slayers I'd want there to be a wave with like Spidey Tombstone Robbie Robertson JJJ Smythe Scorpion Spider Slayers Smythe can be the variant, we could have one of Alistair Smythe and one of his father. And maybe the the TRU exclusive could be a mutated Smythe and a different version of the spider slayers. Robbie and Tombstone could be the LCS. Hopefully we could get a camera accessory with Spidey and a cigar hand with JJJ and maybe a newspaper too with Robbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Even if you ignore the animated styling on Speed Demon (which would be silly) it's still far from a perfect figure. A slip-on mask with a visor like Vindicator, changing the colors to a darker blue and gold instead of yellow, and getting the skin tone right would all be notable improvements. Some extra speed effects would put it over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life's short, the lines not going to last forever, unless it's just poorly done I'm done niggling. Or I'm going to try to be done niggling... it's a goal... which I will probably fall short of by the next reveal... but it's a nice sentiment anyway.
