I am, it's bloody awful 

 Nah, just JK. I know the modern costumes don't have many fans in these parts, but I love them, for the most part.

Ahhh god no, classic Kirby all the way.

 The Kirby one is a classic, but you're telling me you don't like this one at all?

 Each to his own, but personally speaking, I love it!

They did not make a Crystal. As probably Crystal's number one fan this is a real sore subject. Especially when a Squirrel Girl gets a figure or a Deathstrike gets a redo. I know it is silly but we all have our favourites. 

 You ain't gonna get yer Crystal until I get my ANAD/NOW! Moon Knight! A book that is currently outselling Uncanny X-Men, Daredevil, Punisher and Captain America: Sam Wilson, among others. Just an FYI...

Kidding aside, I'd love a Crystal but I'd rather see her in her ANAD costume. The short hair/jacket combo really works with her colour scheme.

Not sure who my favorite, or least favorite Wolverine is yet, or even one I'd like to see be made.... BUT...... I absolutely love this mask that everyone hates. The mate is in the middle of the pack for me, but just wanted to chime in that I may be the only one who loves this mask!

 Yeah, I also really like it. I had both, but the 29 one got uhm... "destroyed", and while I'm only left with the 4-Pack one, I've got to say, the mate ain't that bad. Maybe it's because I'm really into sculpted pieces, but I find the mask cool since it's so unique. Either way, I still have the 29 mask saved, so I can change them when I feel like it, but I don't see how this'd be the worst Wolvie mate. That TRU-Verine & the ones from the TTA 4-Pack are far more deserving of that "honour".

 That's a great idea for a thread!

Favourite:

 While I love certain costumes like the 90s one or the recent Payback look, this mate captured Ultimate Wolvie perfectly. Plus, it's got all of my favourite things: X-TREME muscle detailing, metallic colours and not to mention that great hairpiece.

Least Favourite:

  I could've easily picked one of the early mates, but this one was really, really bad. Flimsy limbs, bad plastic, muted colours, a huge mask, just... bad.

 Future Mate:

 That's a tough one, because we've gotten pretty much every important version of Wolvie, but I really liked this variant, so... yeah. If other Wolverines count though, I'd love a Dark Wolverine Daken:

 Glad to see this thread back! Anyway, here's mine (no, it's not about Moon Knight): You wake up and find out you're a mutant. Sentinels are human soldiers with special equipment to track down genetic anomalies, but they don't patrol the streets yet. However, there are mob lynchings and constant hate crimes. What do you do? The options are:

1) Join Xavier's school.

2) Join Magneto's Brotherhood.

3) Take the cure.

That wave sounds pretty good, but personally, I'd prefer a more classic wave. Something like this:

LCS:

Space Armour Iron Man/Comic Iron Monger

Stealth Armor Iron Man redo/Madame Masque

Hydro Armor Iron Man with classic horned armour parts/Attuma

Modern War Machine/Modern Whiplash

TRU:

 Modular Armour Iron Man redo/Classic War Machine redo

 Nothing wrong with such a wave, but most things from there we already have. Modern War Machine is identical to MCU War Machine, of which we have three, considering the molds from IM3 haven't changed. Classic War Machine we already have, and while it's pricey, it's a near perfect translation. Same goes for Modular, which isn't that pricey. As for the rest, Madame Masque is a must, and Monger would be a welcome addition, same goes for Attuma, but gimmicky Iron Man armours don't excite me that much. I'd rather get new characters, like Detroit Steel, Stane, Masque, Laser, Ghost and Whiplash instead of redos of already pretty accurate figs and one-off armours. Just a preference thing.

I'd kill for a comic Iron Man wave. But personally, I'd base it mostly around Fraction's Invincible book. Anyway, with the recent Wolverine Wave as a template, I'd go with:

LCS:

Iron Man 2.0 (Ezekiel Stane) / Detroit Steel

Whiplash (Modern) / Living Laser (Modern)

AIM Agent  (Modern) / Iron Man (Bleeding Edge Re-Do)

AIM Agent (Modern) / Ghost (Modern)

TRU:

Iron Man 2.0 (Rhodey) / Madame Masque 

Sign me up for the Twix Ghost Package!

 With 68, 69 and 72, I gotta update my list as well.

Top 10 Characters:

1)  Infamous Iron Man/Iron Doom (with ANAD Victor Von Doom head & hair)

2) NOW! Mr. (Moon) Knight

3) Black Cat (ANAD or just a redo of her Classic look)

4) The Maker (Ultimate Reed Richards)

5) Ultimate Captain Mahr Vehl

6) Ultimate Xorn/Zorn

7) Deathlok (Classic)

8) Death's Head (Mainly I, but I wouldn't mind II either)

9) Doctor Strange (Black & Red outfit)

10) The Wizard ("Superior Carnage" Look)

Top 5 Army Builders:

1) Mindless Ones

2) HAMMER Agents

3) Hatut Zeraze

4) The Children (Ultimate Reed's Race of Evolved Humans)

5) Doom-Bots (Doomwar)

Honourable Mentions (Re-Releases): AIM Agents, Skrulls & Hellfire Club Guards

Top 3 Box-Sets:

1)  Doctor Doom Through The Ages: Doctor Doom 2099, Classic Doctor Doom Re-Do, God Emperor Doom (with Future Foundation parts), Mystical Armour

2) NOW! Uncanny X-men: Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magik, Dazzler (Punk)

3) Annihilators: Gladiator (Classic), Quasar (Annihilation), Nova (Richard Rider Re-Do), Silver Surfer (Re-Do)

I dig the brown Wolverine. I more so meant replace the battle damaged wolverine with a different one.

 Oh, yeah, the BD Wolverine is a bit "useless", that's true. Granted, if the ripped shirt is a seperate sculpted piece that fits over a bare chest block (Zach, could you shed some light onto this?), it could be a very fun figure. I just hope it comes with a few extras. Maybe a more BD torso, some zombie limbs, a different face with his skull showing, something like that. Still, this a stellar wave in my opinion. I haven't been this excited for something in quite a while. Apart from Spiral who's a character I don't care abour that much, the selection is on point. And honestly, I'm glad DST didn't go for the obvious choices like Team X Wolvie/Sabes or Patch and the like. This is a pure fan-service wave as far as I'm concerned.

Would have preferred Fatal attractions wolverine and magneto but other than that this wave is a grand slam dunk 

I gotta disagree this time. This NOW! Magneto is on point, and a perfect Brown Wolvie is needed. It all comes down to preference, but this wave is almost perfect in my eyes (I'd have targeted Daken's Dark Wolverine costume instead of Spiral).

 This whole wave is just...

-Silver Samurai? Check.

-Lady Deathstrike? Check.

-Weapon X? Check again!

-The ideal brown Wolverine? Check!

-NOW! Magneto? Check! And let me tell you, next to a NOW! Moon Knight and ANAD Iron Doom, that was one of my most wanted figures.

-HAND Ninja Army-builder?! CHECK!

 And plus, Mojo and Spiral. I don't care much for the latter, but Mojo is such a surprise that I can't even realize it! The BD-Wolverine is extremely nice as well, but I hope he comes with some extra parts. Maybe the arrows are an add-on, and he comes with a bare chest block, so that we can essentially make whatever Wolvie we want look BDed. Man, I'm really glad they're skipping on the Fox stuff now. We're getting comic goodness in the place of boring Fox-Verse mates. And that's great. I'm just curious why Wolvie shows up twice in the LCS Wave, while DP showed up in every pack of his Wave.

 Seriously though, that's an excellent wave. I would've rathered someone like Daken or Cyber in Spiral's place, but man, this whole thing is just... great. A new great army bulder that's really pricey on the after market, tons of new characters and iconic looks that people have been clamoring for. Add to that the Kaine mate, and I'm ecstatic. 

 Bravo DST, Bravo.

PS1: And because I'm never satisfied, now go do an ANAD Wave and be sure to include MK & Iron Doom!

PS2: You could also finish the NOW! Uncanny team now. Just a 4-Pack with Cyke, Emma, Magik and White Suit Magneto...

Marvel stuff, including Minimates:

No surprises here, but everything looks good. But damn, the Netflix stuff look magnificent. Seriously, they look like deluxe mates or something. Maybe it's because more detail is put to them so that they'll look like the actors/actresses, but they're a notch above the comic stuff IMO. I'm also glad Kaine/Anti-venom can easilly pass off as comic versions.

 The whole wave is ace, but Enchantress and Black Knight especially, are ace.

 I've not invested on the animated Squadron figs, so at the moment I'm indifferent, but... (kinda)KAINE! And a Bulked-Up Anti-Venom is very, very welcome indeed... But, still, KAINE! With Arm-Blades/Other-Powers. WOO!

 I'm bummed about the Watchmen Vinimates, but maybe Minimates will follow...

While the sentiment is extremely nice, as a Registered Nurse I have to highly recommend against living quite that long.

Methusalix from Asterix would disagree...

Hopefully it won't take that long to get that Moon Knight assortment.

 When that Netflix series becomes a reality (and it will, dammit!), Moon Knight is gonna be all over the place! I gua-rant-ee it! Or at least I hope so...

Live till you reach 1000!

Congrats! I'm very curious to see what each Crate contains.

If we get Watchmen minimates (with them hopefully leading to DC mates), I'll... I don't know, actually. It seems too good to be true...

Don't get me wrong. I'd LOVE Gorgon. But I see HIM fitting in more places/having more appeal than Cyber. Gorgon has been the enemy of Wolverine, the Secret Warriors, and the Avengers. We could get him in a wave with Shang Chi, for instance

 Yeah, he definitely has more chances, that's true. But with recent Waves being what they are, I don't think there are many chances of getting such characters these days. A Secret Warriors Wave has little to no chances these days, for example.

25 minutes ago, Mnemosis said:

I can't stand the idea of getting Team X Wolverine without Maverick and there's one MAJOR variant we're forgetting, so...

I also realigned so that TRU gets the more "identifiable as Wolverine" packs and the less brutal of the two BD figures

 No Gorgon = NO DEAL!

Nah, just kidding. I'd be pretty happy with that wave, though I genuinely would love to have a Secret Warriors Gorgon. 

Live till you reach 1000!
