Only reason to get the Dark Phoenix Cyke is for the jacket to make TAS Morph.

Oooh - very nice. Who's head and hair did you use?

I'm very much looking forward to Wonder Man, Adaptoid and the Hawkeye pack if this list pans out.

Adaptoid is meant to be huge, as well. 12", I think?

it's also 60 years of Avengers!

There's a BUNCH of Avengers stuff planned for ML too. 
Think I saw a 90s Sersi/Black Knight 2 pack, Molecule Man, Safari Wonderman,  Rambeu Capt Marvel, Super Adaptoid, Destroyer, Hawkeye Sky Cycle, and heaps more. 
Looks like there will be a LOT of anniversary figures next year.

While not “small” I would be fine with an unarticulated Old Lace. 

Runaways would be perfect for the new 6-figure waves. Esp if we can get an unarticulated OL.

It appears that Hasbro is going all out for X-Men anniversary next year:

'X-Men fans REJOICE!!! New leaks have been revealed! Looks like the ML Team is going to be celebrating the X-Men 60th anniversary with hella releases next year!!! 🔥 Not shown is a potential StarJammers multipack. Keep your eyes peeled in October and November. I feel like that's when we'll see some serious reveals. 👀'

@DSTZach - I know DST left Hasbro in the dust when it comes to the X-Men Trike Force, but do you know if DST has anything planned to celebrate 60 years of X-Men?

These VHS style boxes are smashing my nostalgia button so hard right now. 
I hope we see more of this packaging.

I was very happy to see that shout-out as well. 

This week, if rumors are to be believed, they'll be announcing a Ghost Rider HasLab that may or may not feature Robbie Reyes' Hell Charger.

Looks like the rumours were true.... but now the backers are backing out! 😮

Cardiac

Oooooh- I remember him from the mid-90s Spider-Man trading card series. 
I know literally nothing more about him than what was printed on the card, but he would make a good looking minimate!

- X-Men theme: flying Lockheed sculpt (that can be attached to a flight base)

There's an X-Men boardgame that has a cute, flying Lockheed that's kept aloft by his flame effect. 
I'd love to see DST do something similar. Or at least have a little flame effect for an updated Lockheed.

I am genuinely surprised that we haven't actually gotten a Doop already.
I bought a Slimer back in the day to try and convert into a Doop, but never got around to making him. 

Right? 
I went ALL IN on this series when it came out. I think it was the first non-marvel line that I got really hyped about. 
I was pretty chuffed that they found a way to sneak the Giraffe and Hammerhead into  one of the follow-up lines. 

That's pretty cool news!
Unfortunately, I *am* going to have to start brainstorming a wish list of accessory-sized 7th characters now. LOL

So, the new Marvel packaging format includes 6 figures per wave, but we've lucked out in the first two waves with the inclusion of a bonus 7th character in the form of an unarticulated accessory (H.E.R.B.I.E. & Lucky the Pizza Dog)! 

While we've seen these before in the old two-packs as well (Redwing, Rocket, Grott, etc....), and Zach has clarified that not every wave will have the opportunity to include an appropriately themed mini-character, I thought it would be fun to brainstorm some ideas.
What accessory-sized bonus characters would you like most to see get included in the new wave format?

I'm hankering for a Widget accessory to go with my Excalibur minis. And I know it would be something of a design miracle from DST, but I would LOVE to get a Martha/No Girl. I think she'd make such a damn cool looking toy! 

  

@DSTZach - Under this new wave-structure we've seen the first two box sets released with a 6 minimates, but also include a 7th character in the form of an unarticulated accessory (H.E.R.B.I.E. and Lucky/Pizza Dog).
Is this a trend DST are trying to maintain going forward? Will we see it in Wave 84's street-level assortment??

Holy smokes! Are you telling me you have planned out the next 41 custom minimate characters? You're working 3 and a half years ahead?

I never went in for the Micros, but I bought a couple of Mighty Muggs. 
I picked up a Venom, just because I thought he looked kind of cool. I bought a Phoenix because I'm a Jean Grey fan (I do *not* recommend. Yet another in a loooong line of rough looking figures that poor Jean has suffered through).
I do, however, recommend the Galactus Mighty Mugg. It's a cheap alternative to the MAX Statue, and while it is by no means the right proportions for a minimates stand in, it's vibrant, at a good scale, and looks great with minimates Fantastic 4 / Silver Surfer mininates posed around it. 

It's not exactly a classic costume, but the printing on Cosmic Spider-Man was just beautiful. It was crisp and clean with little/no bleed through. 

But if we're looking at Spidey's actual costume, it's really hard for me to go past the bright blue and red on the wave 2 and wave 4 figures. If you were keen for a bit more body shape/shading, then Greatest Hits wave 1 is also a beautiful figure. 

Or maybe 'Friends' is the important part? 
Friends of Humanity... Graydon Creed? With a Cameron Hodge Phalanx head that can go on Warlocks body?

Ok... I officially have no idea and am just taking shots in the dark here.

Hmmmm.... is the clue perhaps the word 'Oldest'?
Are we looking for a particularly old person affiliated with the X-Men like Exodus or Gideon? 
Though... I can't think of what accessory-character might come with either of them 🤔

I have several folks who are x-men adjacent but not actual x-men high up on my Wants list Would we call Val Cooper a 'friend' tho?

I'm going to guess Moira McTaggert & Yukio. 

Bloody great set. Seeing so many never before released characters as minimates in one line-up gives me a great deal of hope for the future of the line. 
Can't wait to see box art and yay shots.

To be fair, I'd have miscounted Nanny too.

I would be all over this, but damn - what an odd choice it would be. And of that line-up.... to miss out on Nanny would be criminal. She's such a fun, ridiculous design. 
Think I'd ultimately break it up to put Wildchild w/ the AOA stuff, Greycrow w/ Marauders, etc....

I may have miscounted the women. Two women, and there is a minor seventh member that we did not include. Sorry. 

Can I ask for clarity: is the minor 7th member the second woman and also *not* included in the new set?
