Ideas for new minimates for cheap. For example you got Shogo as Sentinel X can take up extra Ironman armor pieces same for Raze the blue wolverine/ mystique can reuse wolverine extra parts.

With the conclusion of Battle of Atom I think there's a lot of potential minimates here.

He'd be a new character (as would Wiccan, BTW).

True however his story is close to Steve Rogers....close enough

Isiah Bradley anyone???

As long as we get that Nate Grey (Age of Apocalypse).

I hate the shirtless one with the pec tattoo.

Its aweful! plus last time i saw him he was all emo...

Nate Grey an alternerate version of Cable.....kinda

Kaipo......why????

Keep it simple for me

A symbiote needs a living host right? I agree Peter been boring for years. Which is why I enjoy Superior Spider-Man. That's why it needs it's own wave.

I'm looking froward to this wave ! It's been a while since there's been a Spidey wave.

As for a 2099 wave I feel it's a lil outdated with the current Marvel fan barely knowing the there was a 2099 comics.

However a superior wave would be great have you seen the superior venom ?

I wonder if wave 50 is a massive success? I got everyone except the Maria Hill pack .

I tend to think the minimate collectors are more adult and would like more diverse characters in both race and sex

Like I said, race doesn't often factor in to our decision to make or not make a figure, but not all Minimate collectors are adults, and the kids who buy them (or receive them) are mostly boys. So while we certainly try to get female figures out there on a regular basis (at least one per wave, often two), we know that boys and parents of boys will usually choose the males, which is often why the women are short-packed.

I meant to say the characters that can easily be mixed up aka "cannon fodder" or army builders.

Who do you got in the wave? Most the team has been made....

Blue Marvel

Luke Cage

Spectrum

Spider Hero

Power-Man

As much as I love to see this there's not enough drawing power....right ??

I tend to think the minimate collectors are more adult and would like more diverse characters in both race and sex

Other then Tigra and Mockingbird the rest of the team has been made ?? What happen to just having a random wave ?

Luke Cage modified would awesome and that's a custom who I would love to give credit for but I don't know who....Let's get this done Zach...please man?

Credit to Mini-Fiend for the Luke Cage

Has there ever been a limited set of minimates? What I mean by limited is 1/3000 or something like that. The closest thing with out researching is SDCC. Or has minimates always been mass made? Since Zach explained the market for the minimate and timing. Has there ever been consideration for pre-order. I know video games do it. But they do it to compete to retailers. Any thoughts on pre-orders? All these names are making me look up who's who on Marvel database. Adding to the mix , Marvel Now Young avengers(even 2006 version). I want to see that set.

We offer everything we sell as a pre-order to retailers, and they offer them as a pre-order to customers. But we do have minimums of how many we can produce. And 3,000 sets may sound limited, but it's a lot of sets to sell on the specialty market. There have been occasions where we have not hit the number to produce a set -- Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose was a mostly female set, Godfather was mostly male, neither reached the necessary numbers to go forward. Not sure if it's ever happened with a Marvel set, but some sets we've made have NOT sold out. TRU does order larger quantities, which is why we try to make EXTRA sure it's a set or assortment they can sell to the masses.

>The thought of a Blue Marvel minimate is exciting and Luke Cage is in a major need of an update seriously.....have you seen the Luke Cage minimate???? Sweet Christmas!!!!!

It's not awful, but it definitely needs an update.

Zach, my man I respect you brotha but to say that Luke Cage minimate is not awful is a lil crazy...he has a Fu Manchu. Black man + Fu Manchu = Awful. I'm sorry

The thought of a Blue Marvel minimate is exciting and Luke Cage is in a major need of an update seriously.....have you seen the Luke Cage minimate???? Sweet Christmas!!!!!

Never heard of most of the characters mentioned here... which is why they probably aren't Minimates.

Gotta keep the line strong for longevity.

He's right....

Ummm the Black Panther is T'chala sister 2 birds one stone

The Scarlet Spider and Hobgoblin is nice! Considering that I got it at an FYE

You may be right but if they are on the Avengers team and its one of Marvels big salers i dont' see why not..

Man, I'm really out of the loop. I didn't even know they were kicking off a new event. But I do like Hickman, mostly, so I'll check it out eventually. As for 'mates, I'd be all for most of the characters you mention, depending on their outfits. But we certainly won't see a box set made up of the characters you mention.

Why not ? Can you tell me the 4 minimates in the Worthy Box set?? 4 unknowns that are tied to an event..Just saying

I look at the event based boxsets (Civil War/Fear Itself) Those were major events and if this happens to be a major event which is looks to be I don't see why not. Infinity is taking place in space and on Earth.

Now that Infinity is here, isn't there room for brand new Minimates? Look at all the possibilities that can come from an Infinity box set. New characters like Black Swan, Star Brand , Nightmask , Hyperion , Blue Marvel the list goes on. Is there any interest in the Minimate Community??
