karamazov80 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Looks better than I anticipated. So now officially, this wave should be: Jim Lee Cyclops/Jim Lee Jean Grey Jim Lee Beast/Jim Lee Rogue Black Queen Jean Grey/Hellfire Goon (hopefully with extra pieces to make him a Reaver) *variant* Black Queen Selene/Hellfire Goon Edited November 12, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes cool but I think my SI Phoenix will stay as my main Jean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me. . .possibly until we get the version with the green dress and yellow mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Huh, no JL Jean. Odd. I stand corrected. All in all, this shall be an interesting wave. Though as far as all-X-Men waves go, it's still full mostly of redos with the exception of Selene and the army builder so it doesn't quite trump the awesomeness of Waves 28 and 31/32 (if only due to their breadth of new characters in Minimate form). Wait for it... wait for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel America Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 How many versions of Jean are left? If we were to get a Jean Grey/Beast 2-pack of their outfits from that pic, we could stop with variants for Beast and Jean. I like what DST has done with this wave, but I hope that we get more new chracters in future waves. 2 new characters is kinda low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I feel the same way. A lot of people wanted this era, and these are the versions of the characters I'm most familiar with (from the cartoon. I didn't get involved in the comics until a few years ago). But at the same time, we've got a small army of Cyclops already, Rogue isn't much different than the one we've already got (though I'm glad they fixed the hair), and Beast is just a more bulked up version of the Secret Invasion set. Overall, I'm happy, but I admit that the more recent assorted waves of figures from all over the Marvel Universe have spoiled me a bit. I think this one serves more as a "catch up" wave for new comers, while giving those of us who were here all along some new clothes.

karamazov80 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 What Northraider says is true, but it is good to mix in waves of rehashed characters between the waves with more original characters, I think. For the purposes of pacing, of satiating a more "general" audience who will be more inclined to buy more well known characters, for giving us newer and better versions of older figures, and for the purpose of satisfying hardcore collectors who are just missing their favorite variant. People have been moaning for that absurdly strapped and pocketed Cyclops and ridiculous looking Jean Grey since time immemorial, and Rogue desperately needed a more recognizable Minimate, frankly. So, this is a good wave that will satisfy a lot of people. When all is said and done, wave 28 will stand out as one of the all-time great Marvel waves, I think.

SErge Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 well, it was fun and what a fun wave! 90s jean looks good! and agreeing with others, SI jean is THE jean for me. but still sweet, 90s xmen.

Valo487 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Was not expecting her, she looks good. I'm happy for all the people who really wanted one. I hope now after this series and the two boxsets DST gives Cyclops, Beast and Jean a much deserved rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Wow! DST didn't put a Wolverine in the line-up. I'm shock! Glad, but still shocked. I guess we'll see brown Wolverine in the TRU wave. Edited November 12, 2009 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I like how she looks, and I like the overall wave. I appreciate how in the last year we've gotten a huge amount of new characters and announcements for more new characters. So I'm sure they will do right by us and hook us up with some xmen and avengers villains. I'm just getting ancy waiting for when the heavy hitting villains from someone other than spiderman are going to get some mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Haha, nice. I wonder what JL figure they'll sneak into wave 6, they seem to add a complimentary figure to recent waves in some of the TRU series, but almost everybody's done now, except Jubilee and Long Hair Bishop. Both of which I could honestly do without, I like bald Bishop, and Jubilee just worked my nerves although I'm sure I'm in the minority on that. I still like my Morph idea, with double sided face so you can make him brainwashed Morph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge_Havok Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 So now we can sort of complete the cover to X-men #1, the JL cover. This jean has a lot of detail. Great wave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, at bare minimum we need: Kang, Klaw, The Mandarin, The Lizard, Baron Zemo, Mr. Sinister, Stryfe, The Void, Dormammu, and Songbird. My basis for those particular people was they are either the Arch-Enemy of someone who has been 'mated, or the last member of a villain team such as Songbird, or someone who has been such an important player in the MU they deserve a spot. If anyone feels I'm forgetting someone let me know, I probably am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would love to see both a Jubilee and a mullet Bishop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 DST hasn't had a wave with 4 females in it since wave 10. Well, the upcoming Wave 33, actually. Between these two waves, the miniverse hasn't seen this many women since BSG! "Dazzler/Longshot 2-pack" Has a nice ring to it, don't it? I've quietly had that very thought, it's my secret shame. After further inspection, the Selene mate is kind of bugging me. Not the character, mind you, but the execution. She's got a funky muffintop thing going on -- a fatal flaw of trying to do a bare midriff minimate. The Jean one works because her corset goes all the way down, but Selene here, trying to be all sexy with her little strappy things, looks a little... chunky. Is that bugging anyone else? Dude, she's a block figure and proud of it! And all you Black Queen nay-sayers: give it up you know you'll be buying into it. Maybe not for the characters, but there's some great custom fodder there. I'm really liking the cape they're wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 OR, if someone did guess it, the only guess containing BQ Jean and Selene: 90s Jean, Selene So I'm still hopeful for a JL Jean. Boom. Ha. OK so it was after a couple of wrong guesses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 And all you Black Queen nay-sayers: give it up you know you'll be buying into it. Maybe not for the characters, but there's some great custom fodder there. I'm really liking the cape they're wearing. Oh, absolutely. Not naysaying her and I'll certainly buy her. I just have to chuckle when Minimates have love handles. And, yeah, between Moon Knight and these lovely ladies, Dr. Strange is going to have some serious cape envy...

gambitron Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Well I am sure glad that 90s Jean rounded out the wave, but I still think this wave could have done with a Jubilee added to it. It would of course be nice to see her in a TRU wave but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
