Gillbob316 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Stepford Cuckoos... I know there are 5, and five is not an "army", but I think they might actually sell better than most army builders, because there's a finite number of them. By that I mean, many people, like myself, don't go out of their way to collect alot of army builders. Between the one I get with the normal fig, and the one I get with the variant, I'm fine, so I don't buy extras. Diamond hasn't been getting extra buys from me with the army builders, I just stopped selling the 8th figure loose. Hehe... The cuckoos would be the first one I actually went out of my way to buy three extras of... because I'd want all five. Capping the maximum number actually encourages me to buy 3 more sets. PS. Oh, and also, a Doombot that actually looks like Doom, and 90s Multiple Man. Edited June 3, 2011 by Gillbob316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 90's Multiple Man (To go with the 90's X-Factor set that i'm praying for!_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It'd also be real nice to start seeing some FEMALE army builders. Female SHIELD agents/Skrulls/Hydra Agents/etc . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It'd also be real nice to start seeing some FEMALE army builders. Female SHIELD agents/Skrulls/Hydra Agents/etc . . . It amazes me that such a simple idea never occured to me... lol... Good one, hehe... Oh, and I have another Multiple Man idea... just because the Age of Apocalypse figs still seem to have a little life in them, between AoA Sinister in the new wave and the recent TRU sets... I wouldn't say no to some Age of Apocalypse Madri... Not saying it's the BEST idea for an army builder, especially before 90s Madrox, just saying I wouldn't say no to it. If they wanted to keep fleshing out the Age of Apocalypse figs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 - Acolytes Yes! Yes! 1000 times YES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I feel like some of these are too specific. Like, The Reavers, and the Acolytes and the Yancy Street Gang aren't really "cookie cutter" characters... where you could get away with buying 20 of the same figure to build an army. I thought about saying Morlocks, but I didn't because well... same problem. *Shrug* They're large factions of thugs who don't speak much, but the members are still unique characters. Not nameless faceless armies so much. I certainly wouldn't say no to Fabian Cortez, Exodus, Frenzy, Unuscione, Senyaka, Vought... But a "generic acolyte" appeals to me not at all. Of course one could argue "well if you swap parts..." but that's a slippery slope. Suddenly I'm buying 10 more figures to get different heads/hair for my generic acolytes now? No. Don't wanna do that. I'd prefer to stick to army builders which require no additional work on my part, lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Acolytes would be cool. I also think Dormammu's minions would work, the Mindless ones I believe they're called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Warwolves please. Yes, those would be a great choice, and should be easy to do with the terror dog sculpt. I may have to pick up a couple extra TD's and make some customs!

NorthRaider Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) I have to admit I really like the look of those Ultimatum Troopers (maybe it's 'cause I'm a sucker for berets) but assuming they hail from the same Ultimatum I'm thinking of, it'll be a snowball's chance in hell we'll get another wave devoted to that universe.

No, they're a terrorist group that Cap fought, during Mark Gruenwald's run, led by a guy named Flag Smasher: I always liked him/them.

highassroller Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The Brood or Molemen would be great army builders that would make alot of sense in minimate form. Also if we are scrapping the bottom of the barrel how about the amazing Collective Man?

elhonez Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Kronans. the "Stone Men from Saturn." Look like Easter Island heads, fought Thor in his first Journey Into Mystery appearance: http://monsterblog.oneroom.org/meet_the_monsters/the_stone_men_from_saturn.html Dire Wraiths. http://marvel.wikia.com/Dire_Wraiths Apart from these, I'll second the aforementioned Brood, Mandroids, SHIELD, Kree (more ranks), Ultimatum, Sons of the Serpent, Lava Men, Moloids, Alpha Primitives, Badoon, Kree Sentries, Mindless Ones and Multiple Man (though I want classic/FA not 90s). To answer the question posed in this topic then: there are TONS left if DST/AA want to continue pursuing this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ahem... the Leader's Humanoids Pink skinned Kree (prefferably in a non-capain's uniform) Lava Men Limbo Demons for Inferno (which for the rank and file took a fairly generic red Gargoyle-like look) Doom "Killer" Robots Lemurians Kang's Growing Men Symbiotes And that's off the top of my head.
