What's under the Sentinel's chest cap?

At the end of the day.................. it gets dark . The only reason for the hole in the head was for production purposes .......if there was another reason ask yourself why & how a pegged hairpiece is going to be interchangeable with a 'hole-less' headed Minimate ? Pegged hairpieces have 0% more efficiency of 'staying on' than a non-pegged hairpiece . Pegged hairpieces have one chance of being applied to a non-holed head ...........that chance comes after the use of an x-acto . Devil's advocate: Rufus' topknot, Lady Deadpool's or Nukpana's ponytail, any other "shallow" piece like a small cap (e.g. Glenn or Chef Duff's) or tiny hairpiece (e.g. Ult Hulk's hair or World War Hulk's hair). These would not stay on without the peg. Totally in agreement re: x-acto though: I've performed that surgery before and will likely do so again. So a few more "un-holed" heads when appropriate would not be the end of the world for me. But to maximize possibilities, I say pegs are warranted, independent of the overall head-hole strategy for baldies. But I think the thrust of my initial post was just to say that aesthetically, for me personally, I don't mind exposed holes. And there goes any chance I ever had of running for office...

Count mine as a vote for liking the holes, even for bald or masked characters. I like the customizability & accept it as part of the aesthetic of block figures. At the end of the day though, it doesn't matter either way to me.

Don't want to know because of spoiler material, or because you don't like the direction things are headed?

Maybe the real whammy is making people think he looks like Errol Flynn, when he actually looks like Sloth:

Ammo for the masked Strange vote...

I am loving that Ronan... so cool.

That is a badass Orson Randall.

I would LOVE to see any control art for Shuma Gorath that might exist... Zach, if you're reading, are you able to confirm or deny that Shuma was ever on the table for MvC? And although it's a long shot, I think this Bowen bust of Eternity is amazing - it really shows the potential of the design in 3D:

I was really hoping we'd get a Shuma Gorath with the MvC3 series, but it was one of the very few that didn't happen before the line ended unfortunately. It's one of those wacky "how will they do it?" scenarios, like MODOK from the same series. Could be very cool. Nightmare and Umar I've done QCs of in the past that are good enough for now, but of the two I'd really like to see an official Nightmare, because he's a cool character who has menaced many heroes through many appearances. The two I really "can't live without" are classic Baron Mordo and Dormammu, along with Mindless One ABs. ...oh and I forgot I had done Clea as well:

Give that we've got Pumpernick Cumberbund finally cast as the Good Doctor, I thought it relevant to consider those characters that fall under "musts" or classic characters in relation to the series, that you think should be MiniMates. There have been no doubt all sorts of rarities and also-rans (I'm looking at you, Silver Dagger, Zom, etc.), but I'm trying to assess what the "duh" characters are for everyone. Off the top of my head: Dr. Strange variants: Astral, Masked version (from when he was called Stephen Sanders), Eye Patch Allies: Clea, Wong, the Ancient One Arch Enemies: Baron Mordo, Dormammu Other Key Enemies and Entities: Nightmare, Eternity, Umar, Shuma Gorath, Mindless Ones Shuma might seem an oddity to many, but he/it was instrumental in Dr. Strange graduating to become the "Sorceror Supreme" and taking the Ancient One's place, Shuma having possessed the latter & Dr. Strange needing to assert his magical badassery to turn the tide. Is there anyone else "obvious" I'm missing from his rogue's gallery, or allegiances? From this list one could bang out a wave: Strange (w/ parts for masked) vs. Mordo; Clea vs. Dormammu (classic); Wong and Ancient One both packed with Mindless Ones. And a box set: Astral Strange, Eternity, Nightmare, Shuma Gorath. That would be pretty sweet.

I feel like the idea of other universes is a good way to bring in the other properties, if Disney ever wants to sign those checks. Even still, I'd be okay with them all being re-cast and re-developed. With the exception of maybe Spider-Man... I'm actually a big fan of Andrew Garfield, even if not Webb's execution otherwise. What do you think, has that world diverged so much as to not be possible to be concurrent with the MCU? Should Disney just decide to coordinate story with Sony, rather than buying the property back? - Sony already has some depth planned w/ Venom, Sinister 6, etc., so a buyback seems unlikely for years. The first movie could be in the same U. Lizard people in NYC, sure, but it was largely contained. Wouldn't need to have been necessarily addressed in the Marvel movies yet. It's also plausible they could not talk about Spidey - they hardly mention the Avengers in e.g. the SHIELD series as it is. Have the events in the Spider-U been "small" enough to be plausibly folded into Marvel should Disney pull a whammy and throw Garfield into the Infinity mix? Or is this a shitty idea?

How about a Uwe Boll Devil Dinosaur?

Hulk as the Apocalypse Horseman War, Hulk with white tatters left for a shirt, Buscema style, Byrne style with shorts instead of torn pants... yeah I guess there aren't a ton I'd want. Villains I'd want: Zzaxx, Bi-Beast, Wendigo, Dark-Crawler, Harpy, U-Foes, Tyrannus Associates: Jarella, Classic She-Hulk (Savage, torn dress) Army Builder: Leader's Humanoids, Hulkbuster troops

In AOS it's not the scene-chewing Gregor Shapanka, but rather a young Donnie Gill. They've tried to really humanize the character, making him a tortured genius. Personally, I prefer this costume - its contrast really makes it pop: ...but now we're officially off-topic. OK, here goes: Netflix Defenders Daredevil: Wave Option: Vigilante Daredevil / Wilson Fisk Costumed Daredevil / The Owl Hand Ninja / Karen Page Hand Ninja / Foggy Nelson Box Option: DD Costumed, Kingpin, Owl, Vigilante DD ...no one has mentioned Bullseye being cast, right?

The Owl is already slated to show up in DD, which always gives me hope for a comic version coming out in MM form. You'd think media exposure would up a character's profile a bit. Although this hasn't been proven true in the past necessarily... e.g. Blizzard, Deathlok, Warriors 3... but hey, Ronan has a pretty sweet comic version coming. A complementary comic box set would have to have the obligatory DD, plus Kingpin or Bullseye, but I'd like the other two to be Owl and Melvin Potter-Gladiator. Should such a wonderful thing materialize, of course.

That tears it. We need yellow slipper feet so we can put Power Pack in these costumes.

I think it's time for a GOTG Origins box set: ...and since we already have Drax and Rocket's tiny:

They all look pretty swell. I'm happy with the updates, PSYCHED for comic Ronan, and appreciate dynamic variants of anchor characters to keep these waves flowin'

All of this has happened before, and will happen again... (minus Talos and Corsair-Skrull)

Wow! We guessed it... awesome! I am SO excited for the Brotherhood! They were easily the most major X-villains needing 'mates, and I love that we're getting a Destiny! Very, very exciting!

Does Iron Fist come with a tunic for the classic look? Or just the alternate green torso?

Sweeeeet. Nice stuff man.

@Arnim - 2015 sounds pretty Avengers-heavy, I for one am psyched. Also psyched to see this Wave 60 on Thursday, I hope?

Zach, can you confirm FF comic mates are off the table?
