Pretty sure that tune is going to be stuck in my head all day now. . Funny stuff!

Definite potential, especially if they made it a Midnight Sons themed wave. Ghost Rider, Morbius, Nightstalkers,... Some great characters To show some minimate love.

I'd love this idea! And related to a couple of your ideas - a Thor set with Rogue Thor, Storm Thor, Robot Thor and Thor Frog.

Not to mention, a What If set would be a great way to sneak a Watcher into the minimate world.

They all look great, but that River Song combination is perfect! All you need now is a Captain Jack hanging on he outside of the TARDIS.

There appears to be something printed on the back of the Lego foot soldier' head. Alternate face maybe? Maybe that's the real face that's the secret...

Who's Kang?............. (kidding).

They look like Asgardian zombies. Maybe Loki's daughter Hel has something to do with it.

Saw them in-store today as well. Apparently they weren't quite peg-worthy as they were just stacked on a shelf randomly near the MU stuff.

What if tta:

Alt spideys

Flash Thompson

Betty Brant

John Jameson

Aunt may

Alt ff

Mandroid

Ultra woman

Dragonfly

Big brain/mr. Fantastic

Rouge as Thor

Doom as sorcerer supreme

Venom as punisher

Storm as phoenix

And there's always marvel misfits

Golden oldie (aunt may as a herald)

Marrow

Obnioxo the clown

Spectacular spider kid

I love these ideas! How about an "original Marvel bullpen as Fantastic Four" set? Great way to get a Stan Lee minimate. And if only they could do my all time favorite What If re-imagine... "What if Conan the Barbarian were trapped in the 20th Century?" well, he started a street gang, became a pimp and fought Captain America! Pimp Conan minimate!

A few more, for the troop builders.

"We Need You!": Skrull, Kree, AIM, Hydra (or Atlantean)

"Jamie's Bad Day": Sentinel, Hellfire Guard, Brood (or another X-villain troop), Multiple Man (X-Factor classic costume)

Each troop set could come with either 4 alt heads, or 2 different torsos ( male, female, battle damage..,)

8 Sentinel sets in stock at tru.com as of 11am. Not sure if there were more earlier or not.

I see minimates menagerie has 44 Sentinels available. Guess we know where a large portion of tru.com's stock went...

How about something a little different? How about Marvel Wolves thru the ages? Man-Wolf, Werewolf by Night, Cap-Wolf and... Well, they already did Wolfsbane, Feral & Jean DeWolff, so I'm stuck.

I'm still waiting on a diaper Hulk from Earth -X with a kid Banner piece that attaches via some innovative minimate style.

I lucked out and managed to get the my Sentinel sets today. Unfortunately, I didn't see them until I had bought the Taskmaster set from TRU's ebay store. I watched them after that, and I think they were all gone within the hour, while the Taskmaster sets didn't appear to move at all. Never saw the Redfield set come in stock.

I got the Taskmaster set from their ebay store and the shipping seemed to be a few dollars cheaper going that route.

I have 10 Jamesons. One is mine, the other for said board member. I don't mind having all those newspapers, but I'm not sure what I'd do with eight blue suits, lol.

Some ideas... Matt Murdock, Det Stan Carter, Peter Parker, prof X, Beast, comic Spirit, Clark Kent...

Personally, I'd rather see a new bulked up Planet or King Hulk or even better - Spider-Hulk! (similar to the Toy Biz version) than composite Hulk. I don't know jack about Rulk, except what I've read here...

After getting my set, I had to sit down and actually read the original comic story. So, whether intentionally or not, DST gave us something really cool with this set. In the first issue of the series, JJJ, Det. Stan Carter & Matt Murdock ALL have on the same blue suit! Maybe the tie was different, but the same nevertheless. So with the extra heads and/or hairpieces included in the sets, with extra JJJ sets, all three can be made! Plus, now that I see the SHIELD connection in the story, they make sense in the wave.

Funny thing too... After I read the story, I sat down and watched the first story arc of the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon. Guess which characters popped up in the closing credits? Jean DeWollf & Stan Carter. I guess I had no idea they were in that series as well.

Fantastic job DST! This has to be one of my favorite waves to come out. I'd personally LOVE to see more waves focused on classic story arcs like this, with all the cool little things thrown in. Having started reading comics in the 70s, I found this pulling me back into the classic days of old school comics with great stories & art.

I think now I need a Robbie & Betty to complete the Bugle's roster.

At this point, the villain would have to be Godzilla in a Darth Vader mask riding the Kraken from the original Clash of the Titans for it to live up to all the hyped up secrecy.

Brock ended up getting cancer due to prolonged exposure to the symbiote suit. So, he auctioned it off, and a mob boss (Don Fortunato) bought it for his bitch of a son Angelo Fortunato. Well, the symbiote didn't like him so it dropped him to his death in a mid air swing. Then the suit went and found Gargan (Scorpion) and he basically let the suit control him completely. The dude was like a million times more monstrous than Brock ever was, actually went around eating people.

Well, eventually he was caught and turned into a Thunderbolt then a Dark Avenger. After the "Siege" event the government removed the suit from Gargan and made an attempt to militarize it with the former war hero (and leg less) Flash Thompson. Flash basically accepted the duty to get back in the field and also have temporary legs whilst wearing the suit. However, Flash is on a strict time period to wear the suit during missions, if he is in the suit for too long it takes control of his body and basically turns into what we know and love as Venom (like big bulky huge tongued Venom).

Now, where is Brock you say? Eddie is currently Anti-Venom. Apparently, remnants of the symbiote were still in his blood stream and reacted with his white blood cells when Mr. Negative got all negative on him. So, Brock is now cured of cancer and has the ability to basically cure most ailments and can also turn off some superpowers.

Wow, cool. Thanks for the summary! I had no idea about most of that, especially Flash. Really looking forward to the set!

I'm not really familiar with any Venom past Eddie Brock other than passing knowledge. That said, a bonus pack-in of a venomized scorpion tail would be nice for that previous release.Can anyone give a condensed history of the Venoms? Is Flash current? Haven't read comics in a while, probably since around Civil War timeframe.
