  1. For me it's like hearing a cover version of my favourite song or watching a remake of my favourite movie..... you rarely want to like it even though you do. Recently we've had attempts at 'better' Black Spidey,Iceman & Black Spider-Woman ......is it me or are they all ....inferior? Inferior is too strong perhaps but they are definitely not superior to what we have had before.

    Wolverine has never been my favourite character & I'm not well-versed as to what would be the definitive version but I do read these boards & despite the heap of Wolverines we've got.... nobody seems to say 'that's the one' . Just to push my opinion .....there isn't a single Wolverine that sticks it's head above the parapet & 'gets the big money' on ebay or anywhere else....why???

    Update ? We just need a definitive version .

    I think the X-Factor Iceman is the best yet, and personally think the updated Spiderwoman really dates the older version. But somehow, I still like wave 5 Cap the best, so there is subjective taste for you. As for black Spidey, I agree, but most of it has to do with the mask. I've posted this elsewhere, but if you stick the slip mask that comes with the Secret Wars set over "Back in Black" Spidey's head, you get yourself a pretty spiffy looking Spidey. I'm not saying I like him more than the wave 2 variant, but I do really like him.

    As to Wolverine, we haven't gotten the updated, regular brown and yellow/burnt orange version yet. Once that comes, my prediction--most popular Minimate of all times! Or at least in the top 100 or so.

    I agree with you that a Brown Costumed Wolverine is needed and will most likely be produced in the future. I think DST has provided us with enough pieces to successfully create a decent representation of this desired costume. I have seen some images of Gaijin Wolverine with Daken’s updated mask. However I feel Daken’s body should be utilized. All one needs to do is scratch off Daken’s tattoo with a knife, use Wolverine’s face from Series 28 and presto you have a decent representation of the costume. Perhaps this poor man’s custom can keep you fulfilled until they release the official version. Picture below.

  2. I'm a new member. I've been reading this thread and would greatly appreciate DST starting a new group. Alpha Flight really deserves some love as they are an underrated group in my opinion.

    Guardian / Shaman with Puck Variant

    Sasquatch / Snowbird

    Northstar / Aurora
