with SDCC avengers recently and now wave 84, i’ve been thinking about going back to the beginnings how about two sets from X-Men (2000) first box: Wolverine Storm Cyclops Jean Grey Professor X second box: Rogue Sabertooth Mystique Toad Magneto since it would be five figures per box there could be extra pieces for their civilian clothes, cerebro helmet, hair for magneto, and then a different sculpt with a white streak for rogue’s hair from the end of the movie. and if the boxes could be ‘mate versions of the posters/promo art i would buy them up real quick.

my thoughts went to the possibility of an intricate and highly-detailed, deluxe graydon creed minimate black suit with custom head and hair!🤪

and just like that, i found myself using MMDB yet again since that femme fatale hairpiece ended up being perfect for qc zombie wanda in a marvel thread. HAILS 🤘🏽

it really is a great resource to have and i’m always using it 🤓 i’ve seen other posters mention using a spreadsheet to organize things, which is great and i’ve started using one since lol. the release dates really come in handy!

i’ve already posted in the mcu thread about wanting namor, and i will post it here as well imperius rex!

i opened my retro set, really stoked on this one. the vhs package is fun to look at and the characters look great i’m happy with this set since it’s my first tmnt set, i’ve not noticed it before and i’m sure it’s been mentioned elsewhere, but why not use three-finger hands like nightcrawler?

and they didn’t even re-wind it!

i still have a soft spot for that first DD w his yellow suit from all the way back, so i’m really excited to see it again 20 years later and the kingpin in black/purple is nice! i really liked the TRU w13 version, he needs to be huge

84 might just be my fav of all the new stuff! can’t wait to see the finished product, they all look really cool

so i didn’t know there was a cartoon…and i’ve sat for a few minutes while my friends had a session for their campaign and thought it was really fun, but that’s about as far as i got. that being said, these look badass and i’ll be getting them

*searched ig for a shot, here’s a screen grab

the hellfire club set is a cool idea that i would get behind. and of course inhumans. an exiles assortment could throw popular members from different eras together and i would get that too. since i’m not particularly fond of the astonishing xmen that were already released and i never got them, i would definitely get an updated set if it was offered. throw in new mutants while we’re at it since i never got the box set or magik + warlock either haha i’m also a big supporter of the gargoyles idea, they could even have the box look like the castle maybe??

it’s big! could be cool as a a helmet+cape that fits into a larger flight base

as more promos come out for mcu namor, i’m really hoping for a release with his green trunks and also the ceremonial headdress

Reveal them, reveal them now…Dewit!

how could i forget peter porker?! and plankton would be great i imagine him looking like the thing’s cigar from the super skrull 2pack lol and now i’ve had time to think about how a smaller daxter would have looked next to jak

or if we ever got some of the reavers, it could be cool to throw in gateway as like a “half figure” where his bottom half is cross-legged and sitting on a rock but his top half is one of the kid-sized torso so you can still pose him w a bull-roarer that’s got the spinning effect.

alligator loki comes to mind, if we ever get a wave for his show. or morris from the shang chi movie and the tiny turtles from the new retro TMNT box are pretty cool, i could see that being a stepping stone for nightcrawler’s little bamfs or the x-babies

his movie wasn’t so street-level but the character shang chi has yet to be done so he could be considered “new”? other than that i’m coming up short edit: chigarillo beat me to it

just that it’s got three heroes and 3 villains + accessories for some additional costumes/characters and that it’s not avengers or ant-man related so i really don’t have a guess but it sounds promising

i’m already liking the waves being released as a box set a lot, this year we’ll get a whole new team to add to the avengers and a new look for a classic team so i’m eager to see what else is on the way. i’m still hoping for the animated x-men and maybe a hulk set with lots of villains, but i know 84 has already been teased so i’ll try to be patient!

i’m ready to check out those pics tomorrow morning for sure, and pre-orders are still good for this friday? an exciting week!

bumping this thread just because when i look at storm collectibles, i really wish we had minimates with the same colors and designs from the classic MK games. mostly because i would actually be able to afford an entire run of the ‘mates lol

turned fett into dangerfield, “no respect! 👋🏽“ vader and kenobi fight scenes were cool but yeah i can’t think of any ‘mates i would want from either of those series…except for maybe Thundercat as the cyborg surgeon lol but! it won’t stop me from spending stupid amounts of money on star wars minimates if they ever get made.

i saw the box set on the shelf at midtown comics a few days ago and it looks like all the upper arm pieces for the thing have that split? so i’m guessing this is a new development for those pieces and i’m not as worried now
