Mystery Man Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I suggest EVERYBODY who wants the Warriors Three, Odin and other comic Thor heroes and villains go over to http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/ and chime in on the "Ask a question" bit and say that they really want these. The more people that send stuff in about the same stuff will make a strong case for multiple people actually wanting these. I'd rather do that, knowing that I've asked them about them, that do nothing and just wish they'd read our minds and make them instead. I agree with you, but seeing how DST has told us that minimates are planned out a year in advance, I could just see them telling us how "the ship has sailed" on the Warriors Three. Don't listen to me. I'm just having a moment of negativity. I understand. I'm actually the same way about this stuff alot of the time. But I really hope that enough people saying "Hey, we'll give you our money, just make these, would ya?" will do something to light a fire under them. It's worked wonders with Kang, hasn't it? I don't know. I know that other than myself, murderofcrows really wants him. As for people sending them comments, I have no idea. It may just be me.

MinnesotaIceman Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Why does everyone want the wrecking crew so much? They're fun and iconic villains. They were participants in one of my favorite Marvel story lines (Secret Wars). We are severely lacking in Thor villains. Let's see, we have Absorbing Man, Loki, Destroyer, Laufey...who else is there?

Valo487 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Plus if they had made a Wrecking Crew boxset they could have a set with new Thor villains, fan requested characters AND finished a team in one swoop. The way DST approaches teams these days, I'm a bit concerned if they do start the WC we'll end up waiting over a year for them to make Piledriver after they put out the other three. And if you think I'm exaggerating, repeat after me: Songbird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're SO close on so many teams... 90s X-Men just needs a Colossus really, though a Forge and/or Banshee would be great. New Mutants needs Danielle Moonstar and Magma... They also did finish the Fantastic Four if we want to go on about actual completed teams. Maybe next year with the Avengers movie they'll release a ton of fan wants in both Avenger teams and villains... >_> Edited May 17, 2011 by MST3KFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 They only need Songbird to finish up the Civil War era Thunderbolts I believe, and this isn't a team but they only need to make Toad to finish that poster from YEARS ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkguerilla Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Does anyone else think that the next box set to be announced will be a Death of Captain America set? With a Civil War Cap (hopefully mid beatdown and missing a tooth), Crossbones, The Winter Solider, and Sharon Carter, maybe? I'm thinking that if this Thor set seems to have a few figures that were leaked to be in the 12th TRU wave, it would stand to reason that there would be a Cap set also sharing figures. Plus, it would make sense for them to come out with a Cap set within striking distance of the movie. Anyway, just a thought I wanted to put out there.

Valo487 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'd be down for a box set like that, but I'd prefer they have one more new character instead of just two, Sin perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulik, Hela, Enchantress, Executioner, Surtur, Ymir, Kurse, Malekith, Man-Gog, Seth, Karnilla, Pluto, Lorelei... to name a few off the top of my head. (I'm a Thor fan) And also, though they went on to do their own diverse things, I believe Cobra and Mr. Hyde were originally Thor foes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Mr. Hyde could be really cool, especially with a removable bulky chest and face to create his regular persona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was asking who DST has made, not whom they have left to make. Your point's well-taken, though, as there are several great characters there. Marvel's got such a deep well of fun, colorful villains, it's a shame that the toy companies don't dip in there more. And yeah, Hyde and Cobra were originally Thor enemies.

MINI_MYTE Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Again I get sidelined with with answers of "soon" and "when will then be now" (don't ask, that second answer from DST still has me scratching me head) on FB when I've asked DST and AFX about the announcement dates for the news of their SDCC exclusives. I can understand why they wouldn't divulge "WHAT" the exclusives are (legalities and whatnot), but the announcement of "WHEN" the official announcement will be... come on guys. Every other toy company of any significance has made an announcement of WHAT their exclusives are going to be. All I want is a DATE I can expect the announcement. Is that asking too much? Ugh.....

I also get too excited when any opportunity presents itself for me to compulsively shout out Thor villains. It's a rare type of Tourette's Syndrome. Thorette's Syndrome. [crickets] Executioner!!!

Lobsterman Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 No, but I would probably budget for three to four sets total if you're a completist. I'd bet TRU will do a RGB set, AFX will do this and maybe a movie Thor set, and DST will do some kind of Marvel set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
