Taskmaster and Black Ant could be a Merc duo pack.
-
Domino, Diamondback, and Outlaw are all female mercs currently.
-
All villains? That'd be ballsy.
-
Individually I like all of the choices outside of Angela. Collectively it feels lacking cohesion after such a focused X-Factor wave.
-
A Machine Man/Jocasta 2-Pack would make a lot of sense. I really hope he comes with telescoping arms if so.
-
Aw man. Hopefully it will be a slow death and we'll get a few years more out of Walgreens.
-
I found the Venomized figures today. I passed as they didn't yank my crank, but I've been seeing strange mixes now with this, Endgame, Wave 10, and Wave 8 pieces here and there. I think someone at Walgreens finally coded a true random algorithm.
-
I found a lone Wasp/MODOK today. First sign of Wave 8 in the Denver area I know about.
-
Found 1 each of Dracula, Hammerhead, and Adam Warlock in the 'burbs of Denver. No Strange/Rider though.
-
Damn. That's how you do a wave.
-
Ditto. The movie costumes are kind of same-y. I think that's part of the downside of introducing a bunch of characters at once - the designers tie the uniforms together which keeps any character from standing out.

80 at 80 would be a catchy gimmick. 80 on it's own not so much. 100 is a celebration. I don't think it would cause people to shy away. It's a round number and it's so many that no one would worry about having to catch up. I have a friend that got into Magic rather than a new card game precisely because he wouldn't feel the need to get them all.
-
I'd buy that sight unseen.

I’d take some Great Lakes Avengers, please. ?
Seconded!

The curse of doing a modern comic set of toys is that the costumes are outdated by the time they hit retail in most cases. Minimates seems to be the exception, but I don't know that Gamora will still be in that get-up and Moondragon already isn't if the pic above is accurate. I'm okay with the assortment. Not disappointed, not excited... just whelmed.
And I do not suffer from helmet-gate. I don't personally think there needs to be much in the way of detail for Minimates. I kind of love it when they're simple.

If the don't do an X-Factor Wolfsbane she'll dominate want lists for years. But agreed these look great. Having an almost complete team in a short time from Marvel Legends is astounding.
-
Maybe Vance can come with an extra head and cape. Then boom! - Marvel Boy
-
O:GS would be great, but I do curse the day the mathematics took the New Warriors out of the running.
-
Three sets ordered. This is such a great idea!

I am in total agreement. Been wanting more Warriors for a while.
i just recently put together a Namorita but would love some official Warriors.
More Warriors please!
-
Any chance to get more comic Minimates is alright in my book. Multiple Jamies seems like a no-brainer for repeat buys.

Considering 76 was a 90 storyline, 77 is mostly classic themed, and 78 is 90s inspired too. I hope we get something more recent for 79!
They could probably turn around a War of the Realms wave in time for the trades. Golden-arm Thor and... looks like literally anyone else in the MU right now.

Saw the Captain Marvel minimates at Walgreens for the first time in Denver today. Endgame may be a few months off around here.

Seconded. It's one of the main reasons I joined the forum in the first place.

I certainly don't hate the series - I actually ordered an extra Darkhawk pack because my friend will lose his mind when he sees it. That being said the line-up feels kind of hodgepodge after the X-Factor wave and how Marvel Legends has been working on completing teams of an era lately. Yes, they were all Guardians, but not at the same time and they're not really completing a lingering line-up. We're super-close to completing both the Liefeld and Capullo X-Force costumes - but not quite - and that's been going on for years. I know it can serve to keep interest in a line by holding back, but that strategy has fizzled so many times for collectors of various lines that a rapid completion like the X-Factor wave brings back a spark of joy.
