The odds are better than not that I know that guy... Ten, you thinking what I'm thinking?

I love the look on Minimate Deadpool's face as he tries to figure out where the stand is connected...

The Mojo I was referring to was the white guy in the blue and yellow costume. Evidently Marvel recropped the image later in the day to reveal a Mojo with whom I'm more familiar. He'll be getting one of my votes. That's a 'mate I'd like to see DST tackle. Now I just need to decide on another... I have no idea who that is... What did he do? Good guy? Bad guy? Powers?

Huh... This is basicallly my reading history, too. Crazy. I started the X-Family with the Jim Lee relaunch, reading all four main books. I've read nearly every X-book since. Avengers I started with Lionhearted of Avalon (just prior to Disassembled) and have read since, though lately I'm losing steam with them. Your analogy is terrible, because they'd have whiskey and water tomorrow, as well. I used to go this one restaurant with Daily Specials. Friday, they always offered Prime Rib. They also had a great fish and chips. If I went any other day of the week, I'd get Fish and Chips, but if I went on a Friday, I'd get Prime Rib. Why? Because the next time I went it might not be Friday so Prime Rib might not be an option. The argument people are making is that of a handful of characters they like, they can only choose two, so they're choosing the two they feel they're least likely to get else wise. I'm imagining a standard head, arms and upper torso on a sculpted base, like the Halo Prophets. Torso has a "fat" chest cap like W:O Blob, hairpiece is heavily sculpted to add some mass on the sides and back (maybe dreadlock-like wires similar to Atlantean Guard's hair), and gangly claw hands like GB Theater Ghost. Awesome. I seriously hope he makes the cut. 1) sculpted base, yes, but I'm wondering.... Moveable spider legs that clip on like arms maybe? 2) I'd guess he'd have a Kinpin-esque upper body and a Juggernaut-like headpiece with the wires hanging down like hair 3) would he even have the tail? Hope so!

Hmmm... Nice drawing of Avalanche LOL Although this could be the answer... One boxset of Sauron, Phantasia, Blob, and Toad as the Brotherhood and one of Mystique, Avalanche, Pyro, and Destiny as Freedom Force Both excellent choices. I fear, though, that their popularity has peaked, and DST missed their window to make them. I don't know. I feel like Runaways could make a great boxset, ESPECIALLY if a movie ever happens. Molly, Chase, Nico, and Old Lace mayhaps? I could also see two-packs of Young Avengers every so often, or even as a wave down the line.... Patriot/Hawkeye, Vision/Stature, Hulkling/Wiccan, Hulkling/Speed. Okay, you're right.... Totally unlikely.

Since I have newfound hope for Team X, the Brotherhood, and F-Factor, it's GOTTA BE... The Acolytes! Let's go with two box sets: Fabian Cortez, Amelia Voght, Two Kleinstocks with some sort of conjoined upper body Exodus, Melancamp, Senyaka, Scanner

AND ANOTHER JOINS THE RANKS OF THE MOJONSLAUGHT ARMY! Haha - for a while, I had my superhero squad X-Men with Marvel Legends Mojo & Spiral This... this is brilliant! Now I wanna track down some SHS figs for my Mojo and Spiral! There are three Mojos that I'm aware of. There's this guy, Mojo II, and Ultimate Mojo. If you're talking about a short fat man in a suit, that's Ultimate Mojo. If you're talking about a tall thin yellowskinned dude, that's Mojo II, who usurped Mojo for a while as ruler of the Mojoverse. However, if you want the leader of the spineless ones, the original entrepreneur of reality TV, the master of Spiral and creator of Longshot, and the one true undisputed king of creepy, then THIS is the mate for you. As for Onslaught, it's just too cool and dynamic of a look for me to not want.

Except that I'm pretty sure, based on what I just outside of brackets, I know exactly what everyone else already said.

This would be great. Or sub Mystique in for Avalanche, and I'd be fine with that, too, if it raised the set's profile a hair.

I'm pretty sure Zach said two from the A-list poll. He seemed pretty confident they wouldn't do three A-listers and only one of the support and villians, but I don't think we'll get two from each of those groups. I recall that being said. I merely remain hopeful that it maybe doesn't play out that way. I imagine if the Marvel.com votes were extremely one-sided in the A-listers poll, they MIGHT give some consideration to only doin one of the A-Listers Luke! Youbastards! Mnemosis! Mojonslaught friends, unite!

I have one of his Onslaughts...one of 2 customs I have ever bought. It is pure awesome. Having said that I'm torn because I would wonder how a real release would turn out. I was talking the other day with my brother on how maybe a bulked up Apoc might be a possibility...though I'm not sure he needs to be bulked up. I love the existing Apocalypse. One of my first mates when I started collecting earnest. COULD they make a better Apocalypse? Maybe. But is it even close to necessary? Not at all, in my book.

I'm going to make a prediction: Team X Wolvie/Mojo Songbird/Zemo Banshee/Troop Builder Blue and Yellow Banshee/Troop Builder We all assume 2 a-listers, but maybe that WON't be the case. And while it's not reflected here, I'd bet Marvel.com is still getting more votes for a Wolverine figure than anyone else in poll one. All depending upon who the troop builder is, this breakdown would allow for some 2packs that actually make a shred of sense

I disagree entirely. Between bulked up bodies and new tooling, I'm betting Onslaught would be AMAZING, I'm also hoping - perhaps foolishly 1 he'd come with interchangeable parts to make Monster Onslaught from the end of the event Which isn't to say that's not an amazing custom. I just DO believe it could be unseated. I made a great Ghost custom that looks good alongside my T-Bolts. Could DST make a better figure? Absolutely.

I'm not disagreeing on either of those counts, but then that's part of the problem here. I'd prefer a variant of Banshee or Songbird than Zemo, so it's one more reason I don't want him to win.

Or at east a themed wave, it would seem. Hmmmmm... When does AFX announce their set?

In my estimation, Zemo has three possible variations - Citizen V, hero Zemo, and papa Zemo. Up high!

Mojo/Onslaught 1) Onslaught's days as a viable character are numbered 2) Mojo will tie in nicely with Longshot and get us some great new pieces 3) BOTH will display nicely alongside my 90s X-Villains 4) I don't need a new Apocalypse, I don't want Abomination or Vengeance, the Barons have a good shot at getting made anyhow, and Wrecker? Not without the rest of the Crew.

Yes it was!

(looks up ‘suspenders’ to see what you’re talking about) ah, okay... yeah, well it’s like those Suspenders too I guess (with the cape being the stocking) but it looks like you guys call what we call ‘suspenders’ (the two straps worn over the shoulders that hold up a gentleman’s pants) you call ‘braces’ in the UK... so in that case “Emma’s cape has little clasp on the shoulders that work like braces” (braces is the term we use for orthodontic corrective devices in the states... I can only assume you call those ‘garter belts’ in the UK by transitive property) <3 <3 <3

While we're at it, my vote for an AvX Avengers set would be: Bleeding Edge Iron Man Protector Cat-Beast Mockingbird ...or, as MM just suggested, sub in Scarlet Witch. Personally, I'd put her in place of Protector, as he's barely done anything his entire stint. #3 I think you're wrong #4 you like to push your opinions on others. The show is great but not a clone of the books. We get it, you don't like it. Kirkman has flat out said in an interview that he regrets takin Rick's hand in the books as it is somewhat limiting at times, and therefore - coupled with the difficulty of recreating the look in a satisfactory way - is against it happening on the show.

The AvX set is GOLD son! Updated modern Cyke and Emma are great, happy to have Hope, and Colossonaut is a nice touch to round it all out. Can't wait to see the extra parts... (fingers crossed for a swaddled up baby Hope to put on our existing Cable figures)

Zach, any word on what bases might come with wave 3?

So... that Kingpin would make an awesome Big Boss custom with a different head and a hairpiece. What. I can't be the ONLY one here who wants custom COPS Minimates.

That's just it though... as Bucky, he was the best friend/sidekick to the greatest hero ever. Since then, he's become a Soviet zombie assassin. Sure, he was Cyborg Captain America for a while, but I think "Bucky" IS a sign of respect. But a lot of those closes to him DO call him James.

It truly shall be a cruel, cruel summer.
