  1. youbastards, those are some awesome customs!
  2. Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks!
  3. Kazar wasn't around prior to 1960. He first appeared in X-Men #10.
  4. Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates Squirrel Girl. I'd accept Squirrel Girl if we could get Mockingbird. Actually, as much as I despise Squirrel Girl, I do hope that they make a Minimate of her. I personally hate her, but a lot of guys here disagree, so it'd be cool for them if DST made a Squirrel Girl.
  5. That's one of my favorite things about Minimates: Even the obscure characters get some love. Heck, I'd have never even heard of Spymaster if I hadn't bought the Minimate of him.
  6. This. There are obscure or barely popular entities I'd love to see made too... but sometimes you just have to swallow them and realize they ain't gonna happen. To be fair, DST has released 'mates of some pretty obscure characters (I'm looking at you, Spymaster), so I'd say anything's possible.
  7. Yes, please. Sorry, but I am NOT willing to pay $100 just for Gambit. I'm willing to go to semi-extreme lengths to obtain certain characters, but this is ridiculous. Releasing a new 90s Gambit as part of a "Best of" wave would be a great compromise. Those who missed out the first time can have a chance to get him, and those who got him the first time around can pass him up. Plus, he won't take up a slot in a "normal" wave that could have otherwise gone to a new character (or a character more in need of a remake than him).
  8. Hell yeah a updated 90's gambit !Hopefully he will have 2 hair pieces ! I missed on the first gambit so i'd like to see a 90s gambit and psylocke 2pack. It'd be the same but maybe with more accessories and it would give newcomers another chance at these hard to find characters. Come to think of it, i like a new uncanny x force 4pack. Psylocke, puck and the two fantomexes with a complimentary two pack of bishop an the evil fantomex. Just buy the first one!!!! I know you live across the sea but for real if you want them so bad you want a remake, you should just pony up. You to MinnesotaIceman He's pretty pricey. But like I said, if they do remake him, it should be AFTER they've released several characters that haven't gotten the Minimate treatment yet. Or release him as part of a "Best of" wave, like the others said.

Psylocke, puck and the two fantomexes with a complimentary two pack of bishop an the evil fantomex. I missed him, too. I wouldn't mind an updated 90s Gambit, but not now. I'd rather see a lot of new characters get made, first.
  10. Gladiator is a Dave Cockrum design so that automatically means he translates well into toys. Minimates and Universe are very different when it comes to marketing. I wouldn't assume the Minimate would peg warm just because the Universe figure does. I say bring on Gladiator and everything else from that era of X-Men. All right, but pair him with someone like Spider-Man or Wolvie (I know, these two are overdone, but they DO sell well). Just to clarify, I have nothing against Gladiator as a character, I'm just worried he might occupy the pegs for months, if not years (like the MU figure does). My local Target has 16(!) Gladiators. I kid you not.
  11. No Gladiator Minimate, please. I don't want Minimates to suffer the same fate as the Marvel Universe toyline.
  12. Don't worry, I'll always be around to disagree. I've felt especially snarky recently so know that I'll oppose pretty much everything you say. Vision needs an update because: A ) He's phasing. Yes, you can always switch parts with some other figure, but that's not something easily done for casual collectors. B ) He's outdated. DST makes almost every redo look leaps and bounds better than the original and Vision definitely looks like he was designed in one of the earlier waves. C ) He needs a white variant. As a player of the old coin-op Avengers arcade game, Vision looks way cooler when he's all white. D ) He needs an update because bhm doesn't think he needs one. I think those are good enough reasons to expect one in the next year or two. White Vision would fit in great with a West Coast Avengers themed wave. Just sayin'.
  13. I thought there was only one Sauron.
  14. I'm hoping one of them is Falcon.
  15. Ah, okay. Either way, it's still cool.
  16. Finally got these today (wave 49, not the TRU ones). Love 'em! I thought it was cool how the Iron Patriot Minimate .
  17. I've never even heard of Reverend Stryker, Bastion, Purifier or Dr Nemesis. If this were their idea for a wave that 'crosses names off want lists' I might as well just give up on this line now. Reverend Stryker = crazy anti-Mutant religious fundamentalist from the graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills. Colonel Stryker from the X-Men films is loosely based on him. ^ I wish.
  18. Blaine, MN Toys R Us still doesn't have 'em.
  19. For the Hulk: Bulky Gray Hulk/Abomination Red Leader/Red She-Hulk T-Bolts sounds like a good bet. Hoping for some new characters though (like everyone said, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Blob, Pyro, Toad, Mockingbird, Tigra) Hulk might be the way to go, since we haven't had a hulk wave, well... ever. I'd love to see a Annihilus Human Torch and Non-phasing Future Foundation Sue too. That's a long forgotten box set though... Wait, when did the Leader turn red? Or is this a different character? Also, we did have one Hulk wave awhile back (the Incredible Hulk movie wave), but another one would be cool.
  20. The Wolverine, Thor 2 Ah, must have missed that. Thanks! Hopefully Hogun and Fandral will be included in the Thor 2 wave... Sorry, this is probably a noobish question. If we do get Mockingbird and Tigra mates, what Iron Man armor is Rhodey wearing on WCA #1? I'm by no means an Iron Man armor expert, but it looks like Silver Centurion to me. Yup, it's Silver Centurion. And it's not a noobish question.
  21. Better than 'The Defenders' .......? As much as I love the Defenders box set, I'm gonna have to concur with Mystery Man here. Still the definitive Hulk in my opinion. It's the only non-zombie version I have on display I think. Yeah, that one's my favorite, as well. Even though he's not bulked up, he's still the best version so far (IMO).
