I'm not sure if this is the right type of question, but if DST got the license for Star Wars minimates, how do you think you'd do Battle Droids?

It was hard for me to choose between her and the Stranger, but I went with Death. Even outside of the Marvel line, we're overdue for a grim reaper Death minimate.

Comic Grandmaster would be solid too, and he might be more likely since he showed up in Ragnarok.

I don't know much about the Kree outside of Avengers Forever, so I chose the Private because that seemed like the best army builder.

When you say the new character has ties to the Defenders world, which Defenders do you mean? 

(e.g. Strange-led Defenders, modern "Netflix" Defenders...?)

He said that the new villain once fought one of the modern Marvel Knights Defenders, but that they weren't a regular foe.

I'm a little surprised by how much support for the Shi'ar there is, but I'm glad to see classic Madrox getting his due.

And I would not have expected Arcade to be beating out Black Tom or Sebastian Shaw. 

So this isn't coming next week?

If it's only the week after that it isn't too bad, I'm just really excited for this set.

Deathbird and Shi'ar all the way. While I'd like a 90's armored Deathbird I could easily see a classic winged version using existing parts. Add in Gladiator and Fang uniform Wolverine with extra Fang head and you have the starting point for a full wave.

I know they aren't Shi'ar, but I'd like to see Binary and a new Dark Phoenix in that wave too.

As much as I'd like to see all of these, this was a pretty easy choice for me. Sebastian Shaw and classic Madrox are two of my most wanted X-Men characters, right after early 80's Sprite and Rogue.

Did we know about these?

ZomBats is a Walgreens exclusive, and not-Robin is TRU.

We’re getting a Beetle minimate? 

The Janice Lincoln version is in TRU 25.

Like elhonez said in the Wave 76 thread, Boomerang's costume has changed quite a bit. The look in the picture you posted isn't the same as the older blue and purple outfit.

Made a couple of changes to match the clues as Madame Masque seems to fit but that means Rogue is left out then. Iceman does get requested for an update when he's brought up. Mimic is just a pipedream of mine.

If the X-Man isn't Rogue, I'd guess X-Face Cyclops, but then there needs to be another modern hero variant that could pass for classic.

A couple are right, but remember there's only one female.

Are they the same right answers Dave had?

By the time I remembered only one of the characters was female, I was already caught up in how well Madame Masque fit the clues. 

My guesses:

Infamous Iron Doom & Madame Masque (Comic Vine tells me she once fought Daredevil)

Modern Rogue & imminent unrequested X-villain (could be almost anyone, really)

ANAD Spider-Man 2099 & Superior Octopus

New character has ties to Defenders universe, but I mentionrd the three corners of the MU they're from.

Modern Marvel Knights Defenders, or the Strange-Hulk-Namor non-team?

If it's modern, Nuke first appeared 31 years ago and he could make sense with a Cap variant. If it's classic, maybe a Hulk variant and new villain? Or does funkgorilla's guess mean we aren't getting Hulk at all?

Modern Rogue seems more and more likely. A recent highly requested female X-Man who's pretty close to an unmade classic look.

ANAD Spider-Man 2099 seems like a decent guess for the Spidey hero, since we've gotten Miguel before. I'm sticking with Superior Octopus for the villain.

November 1.

Is that just the box set, or the TRU/Walgreens exclusives, too?

Is the unmade villain a newer character (like She-Beetle) or a modern version of a classic character (like Collector)?

Is Jimmy Hudson Wolverine current or imminent? If we're getting a modern Wolvie variant he seems like a reasonable choice.

Iron Doom and Superior Octopus would both make sense to me. 

This would be a good opportunity for Now! Rogue or Cyclops, but I feel like the X-Man will end up being another Wolverine.

My first thought for the Spider-Hero was Spider-Ham, since he's been requested pretty often, but he isn't modern.

I reckon I will, in a little while. I'm wary of giving everyone poll fatigue. Is there a particular corner you'd want to see next BD?

The Avengers and X-Men are my favourites, but Hulk-related characters have been underrepresented in the line, so there'd be a lot of interesting choices.

Thanks for making the poll! 

Are you planning on covering any other areas of the Marvel Universe? It'd be nice to see more of these.

The one that gets me is chibi Spider-Man, since he basically was Spider-Ham, just with a different head.

The Avenger is pretty obviously Wasp, but she looks to be entirely based on her movie look. Which is a shame, because we really need at least two new 616 Wasps. On the bright side, I won't need to track this one down.

For the new version of a classic villain I'm guessing Grim Reaper or MODOK. The unmade, radically different villain seems like the Super-Adaptoid. For the Spidey villains, Jackal and...?

So...

Judging by your comment Zach, I am going to venture a guess that Angela Basset’s character and Everett Ross will not be getting a Minimate this wave.

I agree with you on Angela Basset's character, but personally I think the other missing one will be Zuri or W'Kabi.

I'd guess W'Kabi, since he isn't Forest Whitaker.

When is this series supposed to hit? Also will the toys r us series 25 hit before the end of the year? Im sooooo looking forward to all them spiderman mates and baddies.

 

The Previews solicitation says April 25th, but I don't know how accurate that is.

I can't wait for Moon Knight, Jessica, and Purple Man.

I'm not really a F4 fan, and my main wants from that side of the Marvel universe (classic Inhumans and redos of Sue & Namor) weren't on the list, so I picked the Watcher because he has connections to the general MU.

None of the army builders really interest me. I chose the Punisher robots just for the way they look.
