DC Minimates Wave 6 - Place yer bets! **Revealed Mar 16 07**

Recommended Posts

DC Direct has pretty much shown me that anything goes with their line of Minimates. Aside from characters that would be almost impossible to offer (like Starro or Mr. Mind) it's pretty much a crapshoot as to what will be offered next. But hey, let's take a stab at it anyway. B)

Here's my guess:

Catwoman & Mr. Freeze

Atom & Elongated Man

Saturn Girl & Lightning Lad

Silver Age Superman Red & Lois Lane

I was tempted to add Apollo & Midnighter because they've been offered by DCD before but I'd actually be surprised if any characters were offered outside the DCU (which means no Wildstorm, no Vertigo, and no MAD). And it seems like they're sticking to the Silver and Modern Age for now so I think I've got some pretty safe bets.

Next?

Elongated Man/Plastic Man

Professor Zoom/Bizarro

Battle Damaged Aquaman/Black Manta

Zantanna/Black Canary

Red Son Superman/Red Son Wonder Woman

Red Son GL/Red Son Batman

I'd be fine with either of those waves. I just really think a Black Canary and Zantanna should come out soon.

Wow, I really don't know much about the extended DC universe, I've always been more of a Marvel fan. But, just for the sake of playing along, I'm going to guess:

Kyle Rayner/Donna Troy

Cyborg/Starfire

The Question/Black Canary

I don't know if any of those would even be close, but I'd buy them all :). neo

That Alan Scott / Solomon Grundy suggestion is perfect. What a great idea ... you get another JSA member (actually completes the main trinity), people get their GL fix, a villain and it fills the BIGGIE slot. Perfect.

Tough call ... would I want Elongated Man or Plastic Man. I don't think they'd do them both at the same time. Then again, their selections have been fairly surprising. I think I'd have to pick classic red and black Elongated Man. Again, a really great pick.

Atom needs to be made. Right now. Ralph is a really good pairing ... nod to Identity Crisis.

I gotta say, I would die if they did Elseworlds MiniMates. My head would just explode. At the rate they're turning these out, they could do a full wave of Kingdom Come. Just make Superman, Green Lantern, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman and Gog. Rock on ...

Well... not a one of my guesses last time made it, so this almost seems like a sure-fire way for my choices NOT to make it in. That having been said, though... these are my current guesses:

The Question/Elongated Man

Arsenal (Current outfit)/Vixen

Alan Scott/Solomon Grundy

Catwoman/Scarecrow

Robin (Modern) / Two-Face

Gordon / Alfred

Bizarro / Superman (Godfall Suit)

Cyborg / Beast Boy

That's who i'd like to see anyway

I thought about this for a while.. and reviewed my Justice League Guide for ideas.. my first thought was that they may want to finish the current JLA with minis.. making Black Canary, Vixen, Black Lightning, Arsenal, et al important.. but they seem to be all over the place with this so I went with my gut:

Kyle Rayner/Sinestro

Black Canary/Huntress

Bizarro/Lois Lane

Plastic Man/Martian Manhunter (current costume)

Grundy/Alan Scott GL

Orion/Big Barda (better paired with Mr.Miracle.. but I'm going with my gut here)

Atom/Captain Atom

Fire/Ice

Hmm.. there will probably be more baddies than I have listed..

Here are a few more key characters that I think will show up soon in the line up: (again these aren't really things I'm hoping for, just things that seem to fit)

The Key

Queen Bee

Kid Flash (wally)

Mirror Master

Doctor Light

The General

Circe

Gorilla Grod

White Martian

Mr.Terrific

2.5"Atom Smasher

Dr.Mid-Nite

Firestorm

Oracle with Prof.X wheel chair

What makes me already like the DC way more than the Marvel is the lack of "theme" in the series assortments. That way you get a little of everything rather than being left out in the cold if you don't want a whole series of a certain type.

Alan Scott/ Solomon Grundy is too good an idea to pass up

Atom/Elongated Man is another great one

There are so many good combinations listed in this thread it's hard to come up with ideas of my own.

I'd really love an Adam Strange or a Metamorpho.

Let me take a crack at it...

Robin/Beast Boy

Star Fire/ Raven

Cyborg/ Kid Flash

and if there was a varient it would be

Robin/ Garfield Logan when he is cured ( read the "Beast Boys and Girls" comic to see him cured)

The next wave would be there villans like Gorrilla Grod and Slade Wilson and THE BRAIN

I think that Alan Scott/Solomon Grundy is a real solid bet. I believe DCD did a Pocket Super Heroes 2-Pack with those two characters a few years ago. I'm not saying they are following the SPH line but the paring has made sense to them before.. so I could see it happen again. :)

Great Thread

Vox :thumbsup:

ok playing along I say: ( btw this is more of a wants than what I expect list ;) )

Alan Scott GL / Solomon Grundy - as you've said it's such an obvious set.

Azreal/Armored Batman - Knightfall Baby ;)

Doomsday/ Parallax - All bad guys pack

Zatanna/Black Canary - the girls in tights pack ;)

GL Alan Scott / Kyle Rayner (Ion)

Oracle / Black Canary

Lex Luthor (in suit) / Superboy

Battle-damaged Green Arrow / Brick (or whoever that big orange guy is)

That's my guess, although it's probably more what I'd like to see than what we'll actually get :whistling:

If it's Golden Age Canary, you get a "Girls in fishnets" pack :teehee:

Anyway, this is my prediction as to what we might get:

Azreal/Armored Batman

Kyle Rayner/Sinestro

Arsenal/Nightwing

Doomsday/Black Costume Superman

Who do you think Art Asylum and DC Direct will use for wave 6?

Baring in mind that on Art Asylum's site, people want Teen Titans more than others.

I think they'll use for a Teen Titans line

Speedy

Wonder Girl

Superboy

Aqualad

Robin III

Starfire

Raven

Beast Boy

I think they'll use Kid Flash (Wally West) and Flash (Barry Allen) as a double pack.

And they've made a Robin anyway.

For a JLA Line:

Black Canary

Zatanna

Some Batman variant

Some Superman variant

Elongated Man

John Stewart or Kyle Rayner

Martian Manhunter

Random villain

And finally I would just love a Seven Soldiers of Victory line!

Stargirl

S.T.R.I.P.E

Vigilante

Shining Knight

Green Arrow (battle-damaged)

Speedy (battle-damaged)

Crimson Avenger

So there's no one for CA...
