Welcome!

Maybe hype was the wrong word. For a while, everything I read online that mentioned Spider-Gwen also brought up how great her costume was. It's not that people can't like different things, I just thought it was odd how unanimous the praise seemed to be. The internet isn't usually that agreed on something so subjective.

Me neither, I never really got the hype around the design.

As a Thunderbolts fan, that Zemo is my favourite of these. The Rulk looks solid too, if not really an improvement over the Now! box set version.

I'd definitely buy Avengers movie 'mates done to the standards of the AoU and CW versions.

A bulkier Abomination, Thor characters, and IM3 armours seem like good choices. I'd take a new movie Red Skull, too.

How are the thirteen KH 'mates going to be divided?

The Tron and classic Disney characters are nice.

The X-Men vs. Brotherhood looks amazing, I can't wait for it to be released. It's nice that I won't have to destroy the box, because that's some very impressive packaging.

Spider-Ham is the only main Web-Warrior who hasn't been made.

I'd be surprised if DST made many more USM minimates, but it would be nice to finish off a few teams.

No new comic waves at NYCC is a shame, but it's not really surprising.

Do we know when 74 is coming?

@BuffaloDelorean, that's assuming they kept that mold after all these years. And given the odds it wouldn't be used again I wouldn't blame them if they did. I was fully braced to be underwhelmed by the sword.

I'm not saying DST should have used Dante's sword, a generically inaccurate sword seems more likely to be approved than a specifically inaccurate one. I just think the Dante sword could be a more impressive alternative for anyone who wants to modify the figure.

Would Guillotine look better with MvC Dante's sword?

They look decent, but I'm not particularly interested in the characters.

Happy birthdays!

If I find these I'll get you that Odinson set. I have that Hulk if you still need it. 

Thanks! I'm looking for Gladiator Hulk if you'd still be interested in the trade.

I have no interest in the Spidey sets, but that Odinson/Collector pack looks great. I hope I'll be able to track one down.

I could be wrong, but I thought in the MCU you only had to register to work with the the Avengers. Luke and Spidey are unlicensed superpowered vigilantes, but they aren't causing international incidents.

They made penance 

I think he means the Monet St. Croix Penance from Generation X.

TRU Canada doesn't carry minimates at all, and it's been years since I went to my nearest TRU.

The handshake piece is just Northstar and Aurora's hand, right?

While I have no interest in getting CW or Guillotine, the game has a lot of looks and characters I'd like to see. Classic Vision and Ms. Marvel re-dos, modern X-Men, comic GotG...

I'd like to get All-New X-Men X-23 to complete that team, but it seems pretty unlikely.

My LCS box set had a few paint flaws (alignment issues on Thor and Hela's left arms, really sloppy paint on one of Thor's swords), but it's easy to look past them since this is such a great set of 'mates.

Some accessories for Hela and Loki would have been appreciated, but it's understandable since there's so much new tooling. Hela's cape is a bit too long for her to stand up straight, but the stand helps.

Banner's still boring, but his gamma head is pretty nice. Professor X will appreciate the suit when the X-Men vs. Brotherhood set comes out.

Can you say if we're getting (an) LCS wave(s), or just a box set, like Ragnarok or Black Panther?

Oh man, a hit monkey pack in would be an awesome accessory! Typhoid Mary would be a good figure too, I guess she's more of a DD villain though, huh? 

If Hit-Monkey was a pack in, then the wave could be four Deadpool variants and four other current Mercs for Money (Machine Man, Negasonic, Gorilla-Man, and Masacre). With the wave 65 Deadpool and Domino, you'd have the whole team.

Anyone recognize which set this axe comes from?

That looks like Dark Avengers Ares'. It'd be my first choice for Skurge, personally.

DC Ares' axe is a bit closer to his classic style, but it has a pretty simple sculpt and it might not fit in a regular minimate's hands (?).

Isn't Stingray a Sub-Mariner character?

He is/was, but he was also in Deadpool and the Mercs for Money fairly recently.

The second lineup of that team included Machine Man in more or less his Nextwave look, which would be my biggest want from another DP wave.

Do we know if we're even getting a DP2 tie-in wave? 

@DSTZach Any comment?

I don't think we know anything about upcoming Marvel releases past wave 75 and the BP movie.

Idk where else to ask this, but does any figure besides the infinity gauntlet box set Thanos come with an Infinity Gauntlet? 

The first Thanos has a really simple one, but I think that's it.
