Man, Boomerang is quick becoming one of my favorite characters. And after his Marvel Legend figure this year, I'm super jonesing for a minimate of the same.

Honestly that seems like the most rational way for Marvel to do a line-wide reboot. Keep all the events, just change the details to make them more modern. Rational, but incredibly stupid. Let's just hope this is another effort from Marvel to break the internet and it ends up being a purely superficial event that gets forgotten after 6 months. That said, I would be really interested to see how they would redo Fear Itself. That storyline had nothing but promise and ended up being one of the worst things ever.

Danny Glover minimate? yes. and zach said he even wants to do all the supporting cops. So... Gary Busey Minimate. Finally I can start building my Point Break customs.

Wow. I am shocked. I mean they look great, but I was for sure that it was a pipe dream. But hey, Forge, Banshee, and the Brotherhood, what's not to like. Bring'em on!

I'm in. Here's hoping we'll finally get the Gary Busey minimate we deserve. Also excited to see get a predator too.... I guess.

Dangit! I forgot to include Gilgamesh. I can't tell if that's legit, or a really funny reference. Either way, of all the Eternals, Gilgamesh is probably the only one I would want.

Sorry, buddy. No offense meant, just good fun.

I was being snarky because I thought Tenime was being snarky. You know, because every discussion on a new wave starts out the same way: Brotherhood, remaining Giant Sized X-Men, 90s X-Factor, and 90s Blue/Yellow X-Men. Alas... Honestly though, series 61 is totally going to be an Avengers thing. Back on topic (and all snark aside) I picked up a pack of these yesterday and they are AMAZING! Sharp, clean lines, great accessories, and just fantastic all around. As a matter of fact, I think the Sentinel from this wave is my favorite they've done. I just can't stop looking at it. Great job, DST! Can't wait for more comic waves in 2015!

?? I dunno man, I'm pretty sure it'll be Blue and Yellow Jim Lee X-Men paired with the Brotherhood. The clues are there, it just makes sense.

Thanks man! Exactly! Figure if I was going to rip something off, why not rip off the best.

I went a little nuts and made an animation. It's rough, but I learned a lot. I'm already thinking about doing another one. Hope you like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B98YPZs8DWs

I'm not going to lie. I look at those costumes and I think "Dull, Dull, Dull". Is it neat to have one or two characters with that look? Yeah totally! How else am I gonna get a Forge? Is it worth having a whole wave of a singular look? Totally not! The Brotherhood I can get behind (even if I doubt it'll be them), but these yellow training costumes I cannot. Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope all of you hoping for these looks are disappointed. If only because I'm jonesing for a wave I can get excited about again.

I totally see where you're coming from, but two of your points are based in a fallacy 3 - What Zach actually said was half the wave was guessed, but he didn't specify which half. While it could be the Brotherhood, it could also be The Enforcers (highly unlikely), members of the Masters of Evil, the Frightful Four, the Defenders, A version of the Offenders, or any of the wacky (and I mean that lovingly) lineups that people have come up with. 5 - Zach also made it a point to say that Doc Ock isn't always correct. My reading being that the information was either wrong or out of context. But I dunno man. Personally at this point I'm holding out for some kind of version of the Masters of Evil consisting of the Wrecking Crew spead between two sets via interchangeable parts OR some kind of weird Brotherhood that's just gonna make everyone sad, like the one that had Exodus and Mammomax in it (who are both dead, BTW). I'm excited for the news coming out of NYCC.

Dumb question, but why does everyone assume we're getting another X-Themed wave? With 57 (technically), 59, and a boxset in such a short period, wouldn't it make more sense for 60 not to be X-Themed? Plus didn't Chuck say in one of his latest QnA's that they weren't looking heavily at any X-Men for 2015? Or at least something like that (I'll look for the link) Given that, what if 60 is Spider-Man themed? Like something bouncing off of one of his recent big events, like Spider-Island, War of the Goblins, Spider-Verse, or Identity Crisis (RAMPANT SPECULATION, my Slingers love strikes again). Thoughts?

Someone connected to Quicksilver? Not on the same team in the 616? Well clearly the new wave will include this guy: Exodus: obsessed with the Magneto bloodline and team member of Quicksilver in the AOA but no where else. How's that for rampant speculation?

Thanks guys! Glad you like it.

For being a wave with a ton of redos, I find myself pretty excited about everything. The armor on that Godkiller Iron Man looks amazing, that Ends of the Earth Spidey looks sharp as all get out (I'm kinda surprised it took so long to get him), and Ronan is really just the icing on the cake. Can't wait to see the rest of them! And doubly can't wait to have them in my grabby little hands.

I decided to try something a bit different and instead of a JPG I made a GIF. Hope you like it.

Those are amazing! Fantastic job! Is it weird how much I want that Montenegro?

I really hope it's The Mindless Ones. I would love to have more supernatural minimates to clutter my collection.

I'm shocked that these guys aren't getting more love. While it's mildly annoying that Jules doesn't have regular hands, I kinda don't mind it. That soda/burger combo give him so much personality I prefer to display him that way anyway. Fantastic stuff. Can't wait for the bigger 4 packs to hit.

I got mine this morning and man, are they AWESOME. I'm flabbergasted at the amount of accessories and what-not in here. Definitely a strong contender for best box set of the year.

I'm back with even more exciting news! You can now see Love in the Time of Monsters in Theaters! WHAT?!?!!? I know, super nuts! So here's the thing: Regular theatrical distribution is a pain in neck in terms of sales and returns (as in the movie has to rent the space and typically makes no money off of it) and is increasing tougher to do what with studios hogging all the screens for their latest big release. Our solution to this problem is a service called TUGG. The best way to describe TUGG is that it's like Kickstarter meets VideoOnDemand. It's a way for the audience to demand a movie and pre-buy tickets for it until it hits a certain threshold and is shown in your hometown. It seems more confusing than it is. Let's use an example. So, say you live in... Toledo, OH and you really want to see this amazing bigfoot movie you've heard all about. Step one is to head to TUGG to see if there are any screenings ramping up in your area. Assuming there isn't, then you request one and become it's host. From there you pick the venue, the date, and the time you'd like the screening to happen and, after a few days of processing, the page will be live and ready for people to buy tickets. At this point it's up to you, as the host, to get the word out about the screening. You need to get a certain amount of butts in the seats to cover the cost of the theater and the admin costs from TUGG; typically it works out to about 50-60 tickets (at least that's the rough numbers I've seen). Once that number is hit, everything starts to take care of itself. TUGG swoops in to deal with the boring parts of exhibition and you, as the host, have the option of just sitting back and enjoying the picture or working with TUGG to create an event around it. FUN STUFF! And listen, if you're thinking about doing this, remember you're not alone. The guys and I have been pumping the movie since 2011 and available to help you promote any way that we can. You can drop me a line here (because I'm always checking this place), on the facebook, or even just leave a comment so everyone can see it. Also, if you let me know before you start to schedule an event, us behind the scenes guys can try to come with the movie. I mean, I can tell you right now that we want to come to every screening, but things like work, life, and bank accounts might make that more dream than reality. However, we will always try to do something if you let us know. In the meantime, here's the link to our TUGG page so you can peruse at your leisure. WOOO!

Hey. Waitaminute. I'm going with bzorio being the happy camper. I dunno man, I'm going with TENIME and a 90s X-Factor wave. Course, I don't know if that version of X-Factor had any villains that I would call classic...
