Silver Jet Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Mine would have to be Wave 8, and not just because I'm a big FF fan going way back before the movie (soon to be movies, heh). I just love the look and quality of these figures, from the Torch's perfectly recreated enflamed look (complete with blast-off base), to the regal and confident appearance of Mr. Fantastic, and of course the best part, I think, is the two Sue's, one that I think completely captures the demure 60's blonde bombshell look, and the other a fantastic (pun intended) portrayal of her main super-power. Plus she's transparant, and transparant figures are awesome! Add in two new versions of the Thing, plus an alternate Wolverine, and this set is clearly my favorite.... So, what's yours?

Valo487 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Well out of the waves that have been released (considering some of the future ones may force me to change my vote) I'd have to say Wave 10, the Spider-Man wave for a couple of reasons. It gave us a lot of new Spider-Man characters, some of whom were more obscure, which at the time led me to believe more mainstream ones were headed our way. That didn't exactly happen, but I'm still glad we got these guys, as big names sell themselves, but obscure ones don't always do as well. Plus, personally I liked that the chase was a whole other character. I know it's kind of a hassle to get but at the same time I usually don't get too excited for the chases unless it's something that really intrigues me, like Raft Sentry, and honestly, if they hadn't released her this way I doubt we would have ever gotten Spider-Woman II. They could make a U.S. Agent with just a new coat of paint, and we still haven't seen him although he's apparently been discussed as a retailer exclusive or something, but that's just talk until he's actually out there. So all in all I was pleased with this wave, although I reserve the right to revisit my answer when the future waves come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 For it is close between x-3 wave the ff wave 8. While I really love the style of the x-men movies and I am a big fan of the ff and they were really well done, My final vote is for Spiderman Wave 2. has there really been such a cool wave with so many cool figures? spiderman, venom, carnage, green gobin, what more could you ask for in a wave? black suit spiderman prehapes, oh wait he was in it too!

Dan Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I love the whole first 2 waves, although I haven't got any from wave 1 yet and I love wave 8 ff, put my favourite wave is Wave 3 Ult. X-Men as they are all in the same style of costume and I love Ult. X-Men comics. Still need Ult. Wolvie and Storm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Wave 6: Iron Man, Gamma hulk and ghost Rider... All in one wave!! Not to mention possibly the coolest Variant since black spidey... Stealth Iron Man. The Avengers wave my make me change my mind though... T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Mine is also wave 8. I am a huge FF nut. (Or maybe I am just a huge nut? Who knows...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Minw would be Wave 2 for 2 simple reasons: Black Spider-Man and Carnage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neolego Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 For classic reasons I would have to say Series 2. It was the Spider-Man wave, and holding that little Spider-Man is when I knew my life as a collector would never be the same. Include Vemon, A Bad-A Carnage, and Black Suit Spider-Man and even by today's standards it's still the best. neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Jet Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 I knew Wave 2 would feature for many, as I teetered on it for a bit while thinking about this. A perfect Spidey mate on the first go, plus the black chase. But I guess I'm just too big of an FF fan, and the Invisible Girl chase pushed me over the edge. Still think Stealth Iron Man is pretty damn cool, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The upcoming Avenger wave (16 I think). Yeah Thor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Jet Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 As future waves go, yeah, this is DEFINITELY the one I want the most. The 'Mates look amazing, and because I'm also a big Avengers fan, this might be the first wave in a long while that has the chance of stealing the top spot from the FF series, at least for me. But I just can't get enough of that transparant Sue. :emmafrostdiamondform: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 oooh a favourite wave is a hard one to pick cause i like most of em, its just to hard though im pretty keen to get the X3 wave as well as the Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 A toss up between Series 5 and the Avengers series that comes out this year (hopefully). The Series 5 showed that they could put enough different characters in a line that we hadn't had before and really made me hope for future waves of other super heroes. The Avengers wave because it's the first time SINCE Series 5 that they've really made good on my hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Jet Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Yeah, it just won't be a full and proper Marvel Minimates collection for me until Thor and the Scarlet Witch are part of it. Of course, then I'll be needing a Vision, and you can't have a Vision without having a Chase Vision that's transparant. Also, I want a Scarlet Spider. Hmmm, okay, what was the topic again?

DocVicVonDoom Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Although wave 5 is the best one yet, simply because among other good characters, there are 2 Dooms... Nuff said... however, I have not looked forward to a Marvel wave the way I am Wave 16... there is literally not 1 minimate from the Avengers wave that I do not want... not quite so with all the other waves, wherin there were always at least one or two figures I didn't really want... with the possible exception of Wave 8, of which I have many and would not be opposed to getting the ones I'm missing, but at eBay prices, I'm content with what I have for now.

jcastick Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 For me, it is simple: Zombies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Jet Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Are Zombies a wave, though? Aren't they a box-set plus one two-pack? I suppose this is the difference between a Series and a Wave, right? Myself, though, I always considered the Giant X-Men box to kind of a wave, at least early on. It has six connected figures that came out all at once. No varient, sure, but then questing for the hard to find box (for myself at least) seemed sort of to make them all chase....

jcastick Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I consider the Zombie box set and 2 pack it's own series, doesn't co-inside with any other set coming out.....so to me, it's a wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Jet Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 I agree. The 24 series will all be done in box-sets of four, with each box covering a season as the series progresses, and that's considered waves, so Zombies definitely counts as a wave. Can't wait to have it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtf this isn't Sparta Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Wave 2, though Wave 10 is another favorite of mine. Wave 2 has the greatest superhero ever to grace the Earth, plus some good villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Wave 2, though Wave 10 is another favorite of mine. Wave 2 has the greatest superhero ever to grace the Earth, plus some good villains. You seem to be a spidey fan . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
