The blockiness is definitely more noticeable at 3" as opposed to 2". However seeing as a 6 foot guy would be 2" a 3" inch 9 foot hulk just makes sense to me. I guess it depends on how you think of the Hulk. The ones we get now would be a bit short for a 9' Hulk. With all of the bulky parts, most Hulk minimates are ~2.5" tall, which IMO is pretty spot-on for his official height of 7-8'. Still, he's been shown larger, so I can see where you're coming from.

I'd like any version anybody would care to suggest but what I'd like is a torso that allows her wings to be directly attached . Now that's what I'd like Touché. Good point about the wings though. Keeping her sleek would be preferable. DST seem to be happier not altering the chest blocks though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Spider Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm a big fan of the MCU design for Antman and I'm thinking the updated wasp design will be killer since we all know DST is 99% likely to make minimates for the upcoming film even if it's not Janet in the suit and a long wait :/ For you guys' sake I hope she gets made in comic form too though! I'd have preferred her to QCQuake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortherX Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 it's too bad we didn't get that gold and black costume while it was still relevant. i'm not a huge fan of her current look in uncanny avengers. maybe they could do current look with the older look underneath, as they're both based in black and gold. and it's even a throw back to her original mate that came with THREE different looks.

I was talking about him having the T-Shirt underneath instead of the all-black under-armor. Still, I'm liking this, although, like I said, I would've liked an extra body and a different expression.

Pepe the Prawn has a mini head ,sculpted feet,arms as legs ......& extra arms that attach to a custom-made torso . I like the new Spiral but how I would've loved that 'mate with a similarly designed torso . 2. "Zik " .............I'll say no more . 3. ....a bathtub ,we've had a bathtub 'torso' 4. Ant-thony ......ironic ? There are others . I'm not begging for another Wasp Minimate, I am just hoping against hope that if we are to get future versions we get a 'custom' torso which could eventually become the standard winged minimate torso.

Onyx_6 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hate to break it to you, but that Toybiz Red Wasp never made it to production. So, Marvel Legends is tied. Both scales, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 False. It did make it to production. There was a blue suit variant also that barely made production. I think there are only 5 or 6 in existence, but they were in the clamshell package and everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) I hadn't realised MK had a variant. Apparently it was just silver vs. darker silver, so I guess it slipped by me. I'm not really a fan of the MCU Wasp costume. Hopefully DST uses the exposure of a movie with her name in the title to release a 616 Janet or two. Or eight. Wasn't the reasoning for no winged chest blocks that the smaller pegs would be too fragile? A specific chest block would probably look better than the Angel harness we use now, but I don't mind it that much. My biggest problem is that it makes her a bit taller. More important to me would be the inclusion of a miniaturised version. If Tinkerbell can get one, why not Wasp?

stack32 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I actually checked eBay to see if there were any red Wasps listed because I couldn't remember if it was ever in stores. Variants of that era were a real mess. There was also a Wasp pack-in with a Goliath figure. Another thought on the BAF: If Quake is just a new head and gauntlets on a body we already have are the packs without those parts not going to sell as well? I know I have an extra Maria Hill being used a generic agent that could easily be converted to Quake if I had the gauntlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
