Bucky

So that means Winter Soldier hasn't been in the works? Interesting. Follow up question -- were characters reserved for the poll?

Buttheadsmate: Is that some sort of trick question? If not, Miry is he resident database for all things everything.

I'm not sure if your query on whether my question is a trick question.....is a trick question?

Either way ....you never tricked me :biggrin:

Unless I haven't yet realised that you have.

:sad:

Who tricks the trickster?

Trickception.

Buttheadsmate: Miry is the resident database for all things everything. He has been a stay-at-home dad for a while, and he has just got a new job.

Without members like you ...members like me would be left in the dark, unknowing .

Where the F*%k is Zemo when you want him

I couldn't tell if you were serious or not, so I answered it for future reference, in case anyone doesn't know.

By Zemo, do you mean Baron Zemo, or someone else?

I hope legs are the next main thing to get updated. I find myself thinking that the 'mate's torso and arms are find, but then the legs only get 1-2 paint apps. Look at the Cap Movie Wave - Sculpted torsos, simple legs. It made the figure look off-balance and odd.

Good luck Miry! And don't worry about here - I've got your job covered .

Fastpop: Yes

I am almost certain our votes will look nothing like the general vote pool. I can easily imagine Songbird being last by a longshot over there.

Why? Is she unpopular or obscure? I haven't read any recent (read: "Published within the last 15 years" ) comics.

When you google Songbird, her first mention is on the third page.

Obscure

I really, really hope we get an Avengers set with Protector, Red Hulk, a new comic BW, and a Bleeding Edge IM rerelease (He's hard to find now!).

I've been hoping for a Protector Minimate for awhile, now. He'd be cool to have. Spider-Woman is in more urgent need of a remake than the other three though, IMO.

Spider-Woman could swap out for Bleeding Edge IM, but it all depends if BW is a big enough anchor for the set. If they do need an anchor, though, a BEIM rerelease or redo would be the best option.

I really, really hope we get an Avengers set with Protector, Red Hulk, a new comic BW, and a Bleeding Edge IM rerelease (He's hard to find now!).

Thanks Gillbob and Geo!

Now what's the deal with Hope? All I know is that she returns some point in the future before the universe is destroyed in the Ultron War. Old Tony had it on his time stream map.

Dammit, who let Miry get a job?

She's the alledged Mutant Messiah who was the first new mutant born after Decimation (Scarlet Witch's temper tantrun which wiped out all but 198 mutants). She was taken by Cable into the future for protection, and after several years she is back. Hope is believed to be the host of the phoenix force heading to Earth in AvX, and this could either reignite the mutant race (According to Cyclops) or kill us all (According to Cap). What happens to Hope and how to handle the situation is the cause of the fight in AvX.

Can I have Miry's job now?

You're hired.

Awesome. What's the pay like?

i feel this is gonna be a modern catch-up wave, with characters newest looks and newly introduced characters:

my top guesses:

Kid Omega

Hope

Scarlet Spider II

Doc Ock

Noh-Varr

SWORD Agents (or HAMMER Agents)

Variant Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)

That's pretty awesome, but I'd take out Carol Danver as Captain Marvel as the variant. She's going to be in relativly high demand, and I wouldn't limit her avalibility

Howbout Cmder Rogers/Marcus Johnson as the standard/variant?

Hello,

I was wondering where this idea that MiniMates have three fingers came from. Last time I checked, there was only the claw hand, with two fingers on it.

Anyone notice that Colossus doesn't have the sculpted arm covers the new Hulks have been getting?

Did that guy just say there was a Hulk TTA set?

Cap-wolf & Ghost Rider

One question - will these sets see any crossover with the TRU waves?

But doesn't the Amazing Bag-Man need bare feet?

well yes, but doesn’t everyone have spare bare feet? If not and I’m a weirdo for having a pile of 20 bare feet in my parts bin, and also 7 pairs of flesh colored minimate feet next to them toss a pair in with half-n-half Spider-man so you have all the pieces needed when you combine with Reed.

Granted he’d have the black boot rim on his shins, but that’s going to be there regardless, even if the bag came with a new Reed or Johnny or unless it’s a shoeless Reed or Johnny which if that’s the case why not just make it a dedicated Bag-Man instead of pretending we’re slipping him in under the guise of a more recognizable character?

I don't have any spare feet...

As for the boot cuffs, why not have the Reed/Johnny use the Star Trek style boots with the removable cuff, and have a spare set of feet inside the pack?

Great idea for Bag-Man! Not sure when we'll make an original-costume Reed or Johnny next, but I will try to remember to have them add a bag. I will also keep an eye out for tiny 1" by .5" brown paper bags for all of you.

Might I suggest this:

Remember when we got a hair piece for Peter in the 3rd Ghostbusters box set despite he himself not being in that set because the understand was we’d already have a second Peter from the TRU waves?

Why not, instead of waiting for the next excuse to make Reed or Johnny, to release a sculpted plastic bag, just make an un-battle damaged one of these:

http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=890&n=Spider-Man+(Symbiote+Bond)

here’s one I prepared earlier:

Hasbro released a movie version of this concept and it was pretty cool looking

It’s something for everyone! It’s Spider-man in TWO of his iconic costumes, kids love the play value inherent in pretending Spider-man is being taken over by his suit, parents, grandparents, and casual collectors will still know he’s Spider-man since both costumes have been in the movies... and hardcore collectors will complain anyway, but might enjoy it having the cool ‘Composite Hulk’ look without it being an actual cannon 3rd personality of Spider-man’s!

Then just write up in the bio how Spider-man felt the symbiot was taking over (hence the mate itself becomes a symbolic form of such!) and had Reed Richards help him remove it, and then lend him a suit to become THE AMAZING BAG-MAN! All tied up in neat little package!!

Then it’s up to the collector at home to find a spare TRU Reed (some TRUs still have a couple hanging around, he’s not hard to find) to display the bagged head on, and a future Reed doesn’t need to waste tooling budget on the bagged head and that money can go towards giving him MvC Super Skrull’s arm in his colors and unflamed Johnny’s head.

Basically what I’m saying is: STOP DENYING ME AN IN SCALE PAPER BAG MASK!!! It’s bad enough Hasbro has a sculpted 6inch Bag-Man they haven’t slotted for release yet, but you guys already released a zombie surgeon! Why won’t you give me the missing part to make a minimate of my forum name for an avatar!

But doesn't the Amazing Bag-Man need bare feet?

BUCKY THROUGH THE AGES

Bucky (World War II)

James Barnes (Military Uniform)

Winter Soldier

Captain America (Bucky Barnes)

Bucky as Captain America could have the battle-damage seen above, and the arm stump from when his robotic arm was ripped off.

Any bets as to which poll Winter Soldier will be in? Villians or Supporting Heroes?

I heard Loeb's behind this, and he wants "one-and-done" episodes based on the "big 4" ala Ultimate Spider-Man (the comics).

God help us...

Good to meet you, Bucky.

Remember, if you find yourself on a drone plane... don't try to defuse the bomb, just jump.

I'll try to. I might be able to defuse it, though. I just need to get close to the bomb...

Old Man Logan Cap:

1602 Cap:

Welcome!

Where can we vote?

Marvel.com, but we don't know where yet. It's not up.

I think there's a very good chance the Commander will show up. He had the costume for a pretty long time, starred in like 3 series with it, it's fan demanded, AND it's being recycled for Marcus Johnson, who we can QC (though no one will).

The only other i can think of that we haven't gotten in some way is that Nomad costume, but GOOD LORD is that ugly.

HOW DARE YOU!

Other then Nomad (which is an AWESOME costume) there's also the "Man Without a Country" outfit and the Captain (AKA US Agent's costume). Those are the big ones off the top of my head.

Captain i left out because we pretty much already have him. If they want to give us Captain, i'll still take it as an update, but not in a fan poll. He didn't even make it into the Cap Box Set.

Nomad, i'm sorry, is terrible. Cap in a cape, now with black and yellow? That is something that never should have been. Actually, every time i look at him, i see Marvel's version of Ozymandias.

I've never actually read Man Without a Country, nor have i seen the costume...pics?

This is why Cap with a cape is a bad idea:

As for Cap variants, howbout Age of X Cap?

Or any of the Caps from Captain America Corps?

Where can we vote?
