Surtur is perfect. Depending on how he's put together, I may need a couple for customs as well.

NICE. I would be psyched for any one of those. There are definitely still some great spider-villains to mine.

Either Ulik or Surtur would be my biggest want from this wave, assuming one of these guesses is correct. I want 'em both, and it's great to see Thor villains getting some love.

If King Hulk is the same as World War Hulk, I'm liking this list as potentially accurate. And also: I support a Binary / Classic Rogue 2-pack. EPIC.

That's what I'm guessing. Although i should formally retract Destroyer Thor for Frog Thor, since apparently everything has been guessed already, and AFAIK Destroyer was never guessed.

Hmm... Destroyer Thor / Surtur ----- Avg alt look, nearly naked Asgardian villain World War Hulk / Red King ----- re-do Avg look, armored alien Hulk villain Ironheart / Hydra Cap ----- Riri is coming, +repeated guess for this wave I have no idea for the last two.

Maybe a bit premature to ask, but is a Series 6 possible? Or is there a plan to take a break after 5?

I guess Ymir is pretty nekkid.

Yeah I tease but I would be first to preorder these sets, no joke. I would LOVE a Farouk packed with a Shadow King alt look.

Do you not count the Secret Invasion version? I guess he does have a little green peeking under his hair... Hail Ivan.

Ha. Almost as good as the Jahf / Amahl Farouk 2-pack.

Welcome back Miry! And thanks for the vote of confidence, but BD is right to remind me of Zac's definition of "Legacy." I think it definitely disrupts my calculus. All I'd be willing to bet on at this point would be: Surtur, "A Thor", Planet Hulk, Red King, Ironheart, "A Spiderverser" I'll never be able to guess the modern iterations of Spider-people or Thor - alas, my days of keeping up with Marvel comics are past me. So that would still leave us to meet the following criteria: Another woman (may or may not be the Spiderverser) 2x characters with "villainous leanings" (may or may not include the Spiderverser) One more from BD's list (may or may not be Spider-UK, may be HydraCap, may be Rogue) An X-Char who was/is also an Avenger I suppose HydraCap would qualify as villainous leaning?

I'm gonna guess that the correct guesses were: Rogue & Ironheart. Ironheart b/c Zac revealed that one somewhere (although not specifically as W74). I am feeling pretty strongly about Surtur & Red King being the villains. Which means a probable Planet Hulk to pack with Red King. And that leaves only two core Avengers variants, of which Ironheart is one. And we know "a Thor" is the other one. So far, then: Planet Hulk / Red King [Thor variant] / Surtur Ironheart / [Spider-Verser] "modern unmade legacy Avenger" / Rogue In this lineup, either the spider-verser or the legacy Avenger could have villainous leanings, since Rogue fills the other slot. IIRC, Zac's definition of a "legacy Avenger" meant a former Avenger or perhaps a satellite Avenger, not a traditional Avenger. They've done a Swordsman. Vance Astro as Justice? This list has: -three modern unmade Avenger variants (including a Thor): Planet Hulk, Thor var, Ironheart -a modern unmade Avenger legacy character: Vance Astro / Justice? -a modern unmade Avenger/X-Man variant: Going with the prevalent wish/guess of Rogue -a modern unmade Spider-Verse hero or anti-hero (not AU Peter Parker or an AU version of any previously made character): real talk: don't know, don't care -a classic unmade Asgardian villain who doesn't wear much: Surtur -a modern story specific unmade alien Hulk villain who wears a helmet and armor: Red King

Yah kinda sounds like Red King and Surtur now.

Surtur? Ulik? Man-Gog? I can't really think of many other Asgardian villains who'd be considered "new" (comic Hela? Karnilla? Ymir? comic Destroyer?). That's it. I've tapped my Asgardian villain knowledge, unless you wanna go d-list like Geirrodur, Utgard-Loki, Fenris Wolf... ...but this is now full-on "wrong thread" territory.

Any more upcoming blind bag assortments?

Bwahaha. Awesome. Yeah I don't get the crouch hate. I do second the motion that SW and QS merit a classic two-pack for their proper Brotherhood/"Cap's Kooky Quartet" Avengers looks. But I don't want to detract from this awesome moment of a great 4-pack reveal that over-delivers on some key fan demands. Kudos!

Awesome! Ms. Marvel is perfect. MiniMates officially beat out Marvel Legends to be the first toyline to finish the Classic X-Men #1 cover team. I think my only critique would be that Pietro had dark green gloves, boots and shorts in the brotherhood days.

A skull/spine combo would be pretty interesting, especially if it was in two pieces, and the spine had a ball joint at the top. That way you could Mortal Kombat-ize any of your MiniMates. FINISH HIM. Poor Captain America... (or Kermit, John Travolta, Chef Duff, etc.)

In thinking further about it, I guess there's also room for a "battle damaged Blain." Pack him with the Predator and a plasma-casting effect piece, that could be pretty sweet too. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, you could also do a thermal version of e.g. Billy, and a nuke-arming battle damaged Predator with his wrist gauntlet opened up.

Sounds like the other villain is "modern," so if Skurge is coming (and he'd make sense, behing Tango to Enchantress' Cash), that means it's some cosmic dude I'm likely unfamiliar with. Marvel Legends just did Ex Nihilo... ?

P1 in S5? Interesting. I thought it was pretty well covered. Maybe we'll see "bro arms" Dutch & Dillon?

Oh, or are you saying TRU4 has Danny & Leona?

No Predator 2 preds in S5? I think we're short "Boar" and "Lost." Also, Danny & Leona from the LAPD. Garber would be cool too. Keyes' second-in-command, AND a Baldwin.

My wishlist for the villains is: Grandmaster Hela OR Executioner
