MisterPL Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Marvel has announced a licensing program celebrating the 10th anniversary of MARVEL STUD10S (clever, huh?) in 2018. This seems like a perfect time for DST to offer missed opportunities like The Warriors Three, Armored Whiplash, different armors from Iron Man 3, and others. Of course the necessary evil would be the inclusion of title characters many of us already have but this looks like a great excuse to go back and get new product to retailers and consumers with Marvel's full support. (Gotta love that corporate synergy.) Is anyone else interested in this kind of chance to fill some holes in the MCU collection or do we have enough? I certainly wouldn't mind seeing a Thor 4-pack featuring the Mighty Avenger and The Warriors Three at Walgreens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmonkey2k Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 That sounds like a GREAT idea. 100% support from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 However you may feel about it, DST has done a great job giving us all the main characters from the MCU. The only ones we really need are supporting players like Balder, Hogun, the Collector, etc. I think anything they did now would likely be rehashes or "Greatest Hits" with maybe a new version of the main characters sprinkled in. Having said that though, I would jump at the chance to get some of the ones we missed out on. If they can find a way to expand the MCU line without bogging it down with reissues and repaints of the main Avengers I think it would sell. But we all know DST doesn't like to go backwards like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I would totally be up for re-dos of characters like Cap/Bucky/Red Skull from TFA if it meant we would get more Howling Commandos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 DST should pitch this idea to Walgreens as filler waves between new MCU movie releases, a new character or variant with a redo of an existing heavy hitter character. Something like: - Iron Man 2 Mark 6 Iron Man / Whiplash MK 2 - Thor Dark World Thor / Kurse - GOTG Starlord (short jacket) / Collector - Age of Ultron Captain America / New Avengers Scarlet Witch So many of the early Iron Man armors could be redone to minimize bulkiness.

hellpop Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'm not really a movie 'mate collector, but I do think this is a great idea. So long as we get Cosmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I also could see this as a great chance to get an Odin who doesn't literally lose his head at a light breeze. And he's a big enough character he might could be an anchor. Odin/Kurse maybe? Or Odin/Warrior 3 of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) I completely understand why certain Iron Man Minimates could be considered too bulky & I would welcome some redos . Despite the fact we have had 70+ Iron Mans I could stomach more but it seems to me that the 'original' base Minimate design .....specifically the chest block....is proving to be an obstacle on more & more figures & 'Iron Man' appears to be one of the most popular characters that suffer. I'm not suggesting that there should be a dramatic change to the Minimate design but it is incomprehensible to me why certain characters get an almost unique set of parts ...legs,hands,moulded heads ,moulded feet etc. .......whilst the chest block remains standard ? I entirely understand why Minimates have standard parts but bespoke moulded chest blocks would go a long way to de-bulk many of our favourite characters . In a nutshell if we're going to have redos lets have some innovative redos . ' Edited October 6, 2017 by buttheadsmate sp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'd definitely buy Avengers movie 'mates done to the standards of the AoU and CW versions. A bulkier Abomination, Thor characters, and IM3 armours seem like good choices. I'd take a new movie Red Skull, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'd forgotten about Abomination. I'd love a bulked up version of him with maybe a Samuel Sterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Could take care of the MCU 'Mates I want most in two 4-packs: Guardians of the Galaxy Volumes 1 & 2: The Collector (with Ma-Mutt-like accessory Cosmo) Korath Nova Prime (with a head for Rhomann Dey to put on the Nova Corps army builder) gold dress Ayesha Thor: The Dark World: Fandral Hogun Kurse Frigga I'm sure there are others I would welcome, but those are the ones I'm clamoring for most.

BuffaloDelorean Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Another GotG wave would be nice. I'd like to see: Ravager Star-Lord & Rhomann Dey with Garthan Saal head Ravager Gamora & Collector with Cosmo Ravager Rocket & Kraglin with plant pot Groot Ravager Drax & Korath Nova Prime would be a good BaF, if we're still doing those.

TENIME_art Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Agreed. Those who knew Coulson need to know he's alive, and at minimum, Yo-Yo & Quake need to join them in fighting some bigger threats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't any real connection between the two and there isn't any real need to watch the show like there was after Civil War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if DST released a series with one pack per movie with an updated version of the main character from that film and one fan requested character it could do well, funko released a TFA Cap pop last year and they couldn’t keep those on the shelf, the only problem is I think DST works off of limited licenses for the films and loses the rights after their series’ but it would be cook if they did something like Thor 1 Thor with Fandrall TDW Thor with Hogun GOTG 2 Star Lord with Kraglin TWS Cap with Alexander Pierce CW Cap with Zemo Ragnarok Thor with Korg Spiderman with Ned Ravager Star Lord with Collector and so on and so forth Edited February 14, 2018 by FightTheDead118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
