I think it was a joke... 

That was my guess too, but I was interested to see if he had a rationale.

 Well, Classic Falcon was at the top of lots of people's lists for a long time. I get why, it's his classic costume (the hideous green one doesn't count), but for me, it's an eh mate. I have the Wave 54 one, which is what I consider THE Falcon costume. It was sleek, modern, yet still super-hero-y. I get why some/most wanted this one, but it ain't for me. Still, there's only so many times you can say "yasss" about a fig. It's the reason most threads "die" and are resurected only when yay shots arrive. 

 

 

I guess that's fair. I do definitely agree that Wave 54's Falcon is his best costume. In my mind, it's up there with John Cassaday's X-Men redesigns in terms of faithfulness to the original costume while still looking modern. Unfortunately, I missed most of that wave, so I'm getting this Falcon for my Avengers.

 Yup, same goes for me. Dane/Amora is a must, but... I have no real interest in Tigra, Classic Falcon is at the bottom of my wants list, and I don't know why we're getting 2 Blizzards. Thing is, I loved Series 50, so to me, this is something along the lines of... Wave 44 I'd say. But, it's a "return" to the more "classic" Waves, so I like that. I long for the days of Waves 48, 42 and the like.

 

It's funny, before Wave 69 was announced, I saw multiple members clamoring for a classic Falcon. But when the pictures were shown, there were a few people who said "Oh, that's nice, I guess." and that was it.

Alternate looks are a must for blind bagged Minimates.

 

Blind bags still suck. Look what the gimmick did to Hastings.

 

I'm not sure I see the connection.

I don't think we've seen these band members yet.

One thing I would like from a hypothetical Elf line would be a classic, Coca-Cola Santa Claus.

undies ripley is comic shop then ?

Yes, packed with spacesuit Ripley.

Just thought I'd put them together somewhere.

Alternate looks and physical samples. 

I have no real interest in a Beetlejuice Vinimate, but I hope it's a sign of minimates to come. The Iron Giant, on the other hand, looks fantastic and seems to be exactly what people have been asking for from the Vinimate concept. I'll get one, especially if we get a box set of Hogarth, Dean, Hogarth's mother and Kent Mansley to accompany it.

I know people here are really jazzed about Series 69 and I'll be picking it up, too, but it looks like another Series 50 to me. I hope it sells well.

I agree. Only the Dane/Amora pack excites me, but I'll get the other non-variant sets just for some more classic characters. I am a bit worried about its performance, especially since it's an army builder wave, with more of the non-army builder packs.

EDIT: There's a new Cheshire Cat Vinimate too, who I might get just out of love for the character. Plus, due to his... hallucinogenic nature, who's to say he couldn't be that size?

I don't think we've had a packaged shot of this set yet.

Did we know about the alternate hood for the Ancient One? I'll definitely get the Strange/Ancient One pack and maybe Kaecilius/Mordo, depending on how much I enjoy the movie. Wong and the zealot are also tempting my love of purple.

The only new predators are the three cloaked ones photographed together, right?

I'm excited for Daredevil, but I still wish Foggy had alternate parts for Ben. Honestly, for Jessica Jones, I think it would have been better to wait until after Luke Cage and Iron Fist and offer a Netflix Defenders wave with a JJ/Kilgrave two pack. I'm sure we'll be getting another Luke for his series, hopefully in a yellow shirt, so this one seems a little pointless and non-combatant Hellcat isn't especially interesting.

I think at least some of these are new.

Happy Birthday!

Is the Classic Predator different?

Does that solicit mean we're getting another wave where the variant is packed with a duplicate character?

I assume so. DST seems to count Predators as army builders.

We still need pictures of the Classic Predator, Cloaked Berserker, and Muddy Royce, correct?

I think packages usually take about ten days to get to me, so I'm hoping I'll get it by Thursday.

EDIT: I got it today! They're fantastic figures, especially Taskmaster. Is this the animated look based on a comic costume of his? Thanks so much pk13 for bringing an exclusive to a country without Walgreens.

I haven't read a new marvel comic in ages and looking at those covers it looks like a confusing mess not a jumping on point. 2 things stuck out though, whats the rational of having multiples of the same character? there were from what i could see 2 thors 3 hulks about 17 different captain Americas about as many deadpools and 162 spider man, girl, boys, whatevers. Also i get that diversity is a good thing and all but why does marvel feel the need to get every black character they have out of the back catalogue and have them all on the same couple of teams? 

Having said that looking at the covers I would like a Misty Knight, Satana 2 pack please, also the idea of mike allred silver surfer appeals to me on some level

 

I  know you're exaggerating, but there are actually two Thors, two Hulks (if you count Red Hulk), three Captain Americas, one Deadpool (he just has his own team), and seven Spider-people (if you count Silk).

I'd like a Ghostbusters II Statue of Liberty.

Haha, I suppose when I meant new, I meant the previous incarnation written by Bendis. I currently haven't read the ANAD Uncanny X-men with the roster you're talking about. I really want to see an x-face Cyclops, all-white Magneto, and an updated Magik (in black leather costume). Also, I'm right there with ya' on the inability to afford all the comics I want to keep up with. Recently I've just been wating until TPB's release so I can grab them at my library.

 

Oh, I see. I do think we have a decent chance of getting at least part of that team since I assume they're coming back for Death of X.

Can we please get some of the new Uncanny X-men costumes and characters? 

I can't really afford to keep up with all the comics I'd like to, but IIRC the Uncanny roster is Magneto, Sabretooth, Archangel, Psylocke, and M. Is that all?

I'd love to get mates of the new Power Man and Iron Fist looks. Iron Doom would also be nice. There are still so many characters from the LAST Marvel Now that I still want (namely the Uncanny X-Men team) but with the constant relaunches and costume redesigns, it's seeming less and less likely that's gonna happen. 

 

If we get a wave based on Death of X, I think there's a chance we could get Cyclops' team. I assume they'll be at least somewhat important since (I believe) it's a flashback.

I wish my LCS had ordered this instead of the Buck Rogers box set. I still need some classic Avengers.

I felt it was a good way to bring the Francise into today,
