  1. After watching the movie, I think marvel studios need to be mores generous with other parties making merchandise when it comes to previews and scripts and whatnot so that they can do better character selections.There were two or three break out characters in this and maybe a couple in guardians of the galaxy that missed out on minimates while we ended up with minor costume variants and what have you of other characters that really didn't need figures. I understand marvel are concerned about leaks but I'm guessing if your the sort that is scouring the internet for spoilers for the upcoming wasp and antman movie there is an almost certain chance your buying a ticket to the movie. Also if it turns out that firestar or doctor druid or moondragon or whom ever is making a solid cameo I would much rather that information potentially leaks and we get a figure then its all kept under wraps and we get an antman in winter coat he wears for two minutes variant instead.

  2. I know at times they can be kind of dumb but I really enjoy the x-men movies and I dont like their future if they get folded into the wider MMU, I could be wrong but I would guess that Wolverine and maybe the Thing will turn up in the avengers (if they are still a thing after infinity war) and maybe the x-men will get a movie once every 4 or 5 years (if this superhero movie thing lasts that long) and it will probably be recast with all the boring mutants like cyclops, jean and logan.

  3. For my money I think simple designs tend to be more iconic, I think the original Julia carpenter spider woman costume completely nailed it but spider-gwen has so much going on. First I would loose the teal, the feet should just be black and the teal coloured webbing just confuses things, actually doing a image search I noticed some of the more recent art have these white which in my opinion looks miles better. Another improvement, in the animated series at least is that the eyes are just thick pink lines not the gradient shading which looks like some nasty skin condition. If these changes were made I don't think the costume would be iconic but it would be greatly improved.

    Mind you having said all this when marvel launches their all new probably slightly different trust us different marvel she will probably be wearing a mecha iron spider outfit for no particular reason.

  4. Ah minimates whats not to love. As somebody that isn't American I have always identified more with characters that were also outsiders culturally. For some reason Captain Britain and Meggan were my favourites, so when these characters were folded into an X book well that was the book for me. Of course Excalibur collectibles have always been few and far between and the only collectibles that have ever touched Meggan  have been heroclix and minimates, Now I do have Excalibur figures from both lines but I tell you what one is a hell of a lot more fun than the other lol. Also I am very limited for space and do love a nice diorama and minimates lend themselves so well to dioramas customs and whatever else you fancy.
