Yeah - Wolverine could defs use an update. I thought the treatment of Cage was innovative though: printing on a clear block so you could have large portions 'missing' from the figure. I think having Wolverine's skeleton printed in silver on a clear block would look pretty cool for a Zombie set.

I know we haven't seen a Marvel Zombie Villains set for a while now, but it looks like Funko have announced a zombie wave that includes heroes (Wolverine, Gambit, Hulk, & Black Panther). Minimates were given a bit of a directive a while ago that Zombie sets could *only* include villains. With Funko releasing heroes in undead format, could this open up things for DST to do the same? @DSTZach any insight?

My nieces play with toys. They showed a keen interest in toy cars (Matchbox, HotWheels and the like) at a young age, so their Nana bought them lots. I've often bought them creative gifts where they get to make something (craft kits, art supplies), but I've also bought them lego and action figures. They play with the action figures the way kids do... give them voices, send them on adventures, zoom them around the living room. I'm pretty sure kids still play with toys if you let them.

Ha ha ha - alas no. I have a little bit of a side project that might bring me to the states in July, though. But it will probably be Missouri...

Ha ha! This might have to wait till your next holiday to the east coast of Australia? LOL

I'm in two minds about it. I think that the X-Factor wave was a pretty good balance between the two. We got a BAF, but still got some cute pack-ins (alt hair for Cyke, power effects for Havok & Polaris, Flight stands, etc..) I could have used an alt head for Mutiple Man or an optic blast for Cyke, but if it meant not getting the BAF - then I'm fine with a couple less accessories being packed in.

DST - If you're looking for a way to cash in on a bankable, well known a-List character, I can vouch for this lady. I'm currently only collecting X-Men themed figures, but I would make an exception for Grey Widow. Pack in arms so she can go with or without her 90's leather jacket. And those smoking wrist blasters!!!!! Marvel Legends is really taking a page out of Minimate's playbook with the extra pack-in's on this one. Thanks to Jason for the heads up on these!

Guh - every time i try to give up on Pops, they do something like this. The new X-Men and MOTU pops all look bloody cool too!

Voted! There was some great stuff in here, and an amazing mix of characters and eras. It was a lot of fun seeing what people had come up with.

YAASSSS! Very excited to see this one. And very glad I held onto the TRU King Pin figure!

These look like prototypes to me. I reckon the final products will be bloody lovely. Keen to see how GR looks with the transparent helmet.

Ooooh - I hadn't thought of that. I could totally go a Kingpin style Shadow King with an astral form monster cutout! TO be honest - that formula would work just as well for Proteus. Might not be a bad idea for an Armor custom, either.... just sayin'

Ah - I didn't get Quicksand. That's where I missed it. Yeah - As soon as you said the Animated series, my mind went straight to Proteus. That was the first place I saw him too!

I think I missed a clue - where'd we find out it would be an Omega level mutant?

It has been huge. As someone who's been thinking about getting back in - it's, frankly, overwhelming. AoA is my childhood though - so this wave is hitting all the nostalgia notes for me. I'm a bit surprised by the character choices. X-Man & Dark beast make sense since they crossed to the 616 and have a bit more value in terms of display. We don't really end up with any one particular team/book from AoA with this wave tho.

Looks like we're getting a full Age of Apocalypse wave. BAF is yet to be revealed. Most peeps seem to be talking about Sugarman or Sabretooth. I kinda figured Victor for a regular sized figure. I'm hoping we see someone who's a bit bigger (Nemesis/Apocalypse/Colossus) or a character who's a bit less likely to sell well on their own (Abyss/Mikhail?). I'd really like to see an alternate head and collar piece for Clarice thrown in with one of the characters that makes her previous figure more in line with her AoA look.

New Crossbones, AOA Sunfire & AOA Wildchild Marvel Legends announced. Looks like AOA is getting a pretty serious wave. With Kyle announced, one would have to assume a new Victor isn't far behind. Not sure if CB or Shiro are very different from previous releases tho...

Oh wow... Maybe Yellow DD?

Ha! i screen shotted this when I saw it was your walking buddy so I could show my partner. We both loved demon hula girl.

This is so freaking cool!

There is literally 1 new figure in this wave... and I could not be more freaking excited!!! I've been Jonesing for Peter David X-Factor for ages now. This has to be my favourite assortment of the last couple of years!

It's a real shame too. I remember those sets fondly, as they were released at my first ever ComicCon. Getting to buy them when and where they were released was a bit magical. They were pretty great sets too. a whole team available all at once. great pack-ins like the Puck handstand piece & the Northstar/Aurora hand holding piece. Alt white hair for the twins. Flight stands. Bulked up Sasquatch. Those sets were packed. DST may have over estimated the viability of the team to attract casual buyers, but for long time collectors and AF fans, these sets were golden!

Welcome to our happy little home. Can't wait to see your set up once you get some higher shelves!

I would very happily buy any/all of the Life Foundation symbiotes.

Yup - this would wok just fine for me. Only 2 Max statues ever made it to retail; the Sentinel & Galactus. Prototypes existed of Spider-Man & Wolverine... and I think some lucky bugger here might actually have them! But no - they did not come with a Minimate figure. I am pretty sure they were licensed under a different agreement as ceramic statues. I wouldn't be surprised if the licensing had prohibited the statues and figures from being sold together.
