Some more alt costumes have been announced for UMvC3. The first one, which you get from Amazon.com can be seen here:

The second batch have been announced as GameSpot pre-order bonus:

Chun-Li: Street Fighter Alpha Costume

Storm: Morlock Costume

X-23: X-Men Evolution Costume

Morrigan: White Shirt, Pants/Business Attire Costume

Now I'm all for the alts for the Capcom characters (especally Strider; two different Strider minimates will make me a happy bunny) if this means we can get more minimates of them.

Also is it me or does one of the (cropped; grrr...) silhouettes at the bottom of the screen shot look like Talbain...?

[edit]

Scratch that it's just Zero.

Haha! November! That may be the WORST time to do an updated re-release. Not long after Arkham City and literally 4 days after Skyrim! Few people will have left their TVs much less gone to get a new old game. It's opening day sales are probably going to be crap, but it'll probably do well in the long run.

Maybe we'll get a Hawkeye in original colors but in the style of the Dark Reign Hawkeye, slimmed down and all that,. As for those Capcom characters I have no idea who they are. Give me Mega Man!

I posted supposed leaked new characters in the videogame thread. If true, Rocket Racoon and Nemesis could make awesome Minimates. We could also use an update of classic Iron Fist, IMO.

Best Buy will also have exclusive costumes in a Villains Pack. I only post this because one of the exclusives will be Elvis MODOK:

I'll be starting the petition for the Elvis MODOK Minimate shortly.

So IGN just posted this... http://ps3.ign.com/articles/118/1182876p1.html

If you don't want to follow the link, basically there was a huge possible leak of the next character set and they seem to be the following...

Capcom:

Firebrand

Strider Hiryu

Phoenix Wright

Vergil

Nemesis

Frank West

Marvel:

Hawkeye

Ghost Rider

Dr Strange

Iron Fist

Rocket Raccoon

Nova

Now, it does clearly state this is rumored, but they are basing this off of "MVC3 style" character art.

Well - i think Hawkeye could do with a new MiniMate. The original was a little bulky, so seeing a MVC3 version of him could be great.

These characters are great for the game. I think they'll offer some very diverse & fun game-play. . . but they don't offer much new stuff for Marvel Minimate fans...

Rocket Raccoon, eh? As a minimate? I'm almost hoping he comes as an accessory rather than a full scale minimate. I'd love to see him as a Pack-in for a Nova/Nemesis set.

Most of those characters make me Very VERY happy. But there is also Rocket Raccoon who, despite being an interesting design and would be fun to fight with, makes me wonder what the holy fuck they're thinking? Are they so out of Marvel characters they have to resort to THAT!? I mean Good God, if you wanted someone silly to balance out the fact that Phoenix Wright is on the other list (Damn he'll be awesome), HOWARD THE DUCK would be more recognizable. What the hell are they thinking... Though these are the guys who chose Zero over Mega Man. So whatcha gonna do?

Talked with Chuck.

The new characters revealed to be in Ultimate MvC3 is not part of the licensing deal and thus are not set in stone to be made as minimates. Discussions ongoing between the parties... DST were informed earlier in the year about the new characters.

Chuck is pleased that the MvC minimates are going to be in stores around the time the video game launches.

3 series (TRU/Specialty) seem to be set in stone. 4th is a wait and see depending on sales. Specialty orders were not good... Hoping things will pick up when it is released.

Considering as how RGB wasn't part of the GB licence at first, I'm optomistic. Strider has been a favourite of mine since MvC1 so it would be a huge shame if he can't get released. And if Rocket is indeed in it (I think the likely hood is 99.99999r%) it would be a great way to add in an awesome Cosmic character. Heck, the entire Ultimate line could be done in one combined Specialist/TRU wave, with perhaps the second Strider skin for another boxset ;).
