No interest in... X-Files?

 

So... we're getting more X-Files 'mates?

I'm guessing Black Lantern Superman will be the Walgreens exclusive for this wave, since he's the only one with a matching design.

Will Rebirth Superman ever be available at retail, since the first one was a promo? I'd rather get (semi-)classic versions of the characters I want, like Green Lantern, retail Superman, and Joker, but that seems like it'd be an issue for anyone who wanted the modern looks.

I know this is a thread necro, but between waves 68, 69, and 72, and the upcoming X-Men box set, quite a few of the most requested characters have been made. I'd be interested to see which characters would take the place of Tigra, Banshee, Toad, etc..

The most requested of the unmade characters seems to be Mockingbird, which I'd definitely agree with. My last wave would be:

Sprite & BoM Rogue
Classic Wasp & Vision
Emma Frost & Sebastian Shaw
Mockingbird & Beetle
BaF: Executioner

Skurge looks great, even without weapons. I still don't think he works for 616, though.

Civilian Loki looks even more boring next to all of the other colourful, interesting looks.

This Wonder Woman is Rebirth, right? It's a little weird that she's mixed in with two classic character designs, but that Superman looks great.

Is that the unreleased vehicle? Where did you pick that and those guys up?

Those look like prototypes, so I'd guess that that picture's from a Toyfair or something.

The X-babies would be kind of cool, but it'd be a shame to get any more Mojoverse characters without Warwolves, and I'd like to see regular versions of that Kitty and Rogue first.

Is there anything you can say about potential Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite Minimates? Maybe we can finally get Frank!

Zach and Chuck have both said we aren't getting MvC:I minimates, sadly.

Could we be getting live-action Inhumans?

That would make sense. Some of the designs are pretty weak, but I wouldn't say no to a second chance at Lockjaw.

I've always hated Vengeance's design, but I'd definitely take Blackheart and Blaze/Ketch redos.

When the suit was shown in Ant-Man, I was hoping it would end up looking more like the modern black & gold costume, not less.

All I really want to see in this line are more fun Xenomorph variants, like the Burning and GitD. A Dog Alien would definitely contribute to that.

Lineup speculation:

LCS:

Black Panther

Gold Panther Killmonger

M'Baku

Shuri

TRU:

Black Panther & Gold Panther Killmonger

Everett Ross & Klaue

Nakia & Okoye

Walgreens:

Black Panther & Gold Panther Killmonger

Everett Ross & Klaue

T'Challa & ?

Erik Killmonger & ?

Thanks @BuffaloDelorean :/ damn now I wish she did have the ugly silver dress cause I don't like buying hulk figs.

If you can find the pack and would be willing to ship Hulk to Canada, I have a couple of MCU army builders I'd be interested in trading for him.

A Marvel expansion sounds interesting. Maybe older cartoons? It doesn't sound like we're going to get MvCI 'mates, though, which is a shame.

Hail Ivan!

No accessories...? I guess because of all the bulked up characters. That's a blow to my will to buy these. I buy so many multiples just for accessories sometimes. I don't even want the hulk or any bulked up characters I just want stuff likeThor and his swords, an army of Valkyries, and Executioner with weapons. And Hela of course. I hope Valkyrie comes with accessories and a non-hulk boxmate :/ otherwise I may only get one or two. And I hope we get the actual warrior looking outfit and not that god awful sci-fi silver dress. Then again I guess that'd keep me from wanting to buy multiples if it's that costume for the mate and she's packed with hulk so I guess there are advantages. 

This is Valkyrie, and she's only packed with Hulk.

No accessories for Skurge is a shame, but on the purely selfish side, it makes me feel better about that pack not being available near me.

We only ever got Picard, but IMO he should be redone too.

I'm not particularly fond of TNG, but the main cast at least seems like a no-brainer. DST wasn't able to get enough orders for the classic crew, though, so maybe there isn't support for Trek 'mates in general.

1885 box set Marty's jacket, AoA Sabretooth's hair, and a detailed chest tampo would make a pretty good Sebastian Shaw, IMO.

I think Lego is making Teen Titans (Go?), actually. And I'm pretty sure one of the SDCC figures was from Arrow. 

Live-action Batman is something I'd like to see, but it's probably tied up.

It's a shame these waves are canceled, but I can't say I'll miss them too much.

Later than Sept. 6, but not sure how much longer. May still arrive that day, I'll keep people posted.

Thanks, that's good to know.

I can't get rid of this quote frame to save my life.

The box set hits comic shops on September 6.

Is there a release date for the Iron Fist box set yet, or is it coming later?

DCC is still offering single figures in the 6.75" scale for $26 but I think that has a lot more to do with not stepping on Mattel's toes, which they've done a LOT of lately. Since no one else is offering 2" block figures, there's a chance but I'd say it's pretty slim. 

I've heard that DCC is moving away somewhat from action figures in favour of statues, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

DC Minimates were definitely more impressive than their Marvel contemporaries, even if I don't particularly like some of their design choices (bulky chests, slipcover masks, 2.5" 'mates...).
