Awesome collection, awesome photo.

Makes me want to see the no names all scattered and beat up in a circle with an angry Hulk in the middle.

Found in Boston newbury comics.

Right and I'm happy.

I woulld be happy if each year had at least one wave of classic comic book designs and one wave of current comic designs.

I thought The question would be who is The third of The three overlapping figures? Does this mean were getting another falcon?

Huh. I'm on Firefox version 22.0 with JavaScript enabled. I click on Firefox > Help >About Firefox and Firefox > Help > Options > Options in the upper left corner to see this info.

This is the primary Nick Fury I want (and people make fun of the 90's for the number of pouches superheros had).

I'm having trouble finding one page that lists expected release dates for the various releases. Tomb Raider, Marvel Wave 50, Invincibles, Walking Dead 4, Aliens, etc. Some stores carry the different types of mates in different areas of the store and I would like one central location to let me know what to keep an eye out for.

It looks like you are using Internet Explorer. Click on Help > About Internet Explorer on the toolbar and give us the version number. I'm using Mozilla Firefox and it works fine.

Has xmen been ruled out as a possible option? All this talk of cyclops gets me excited. Once a week a thought occurs in my head. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we got as many of the other xmen as we do wolvie. Hmmm....

Is Josh psychic?

Interesting... Putting sculpted toes on the bigger Hulk feet (starting back with Wave 41 Hulk IIRC) sort of "broke" with the cleaner, non-sculpted foot aesthetic of the standard base body, but became the norm for bulked-up barefoot characters (mainly Hulk) since then. Is this an intentional shift back to the non-sculpted foot for bigger characters going forward, or a one-off for this particular iteration? Or, does it just depend on the designer's mood the day the control art is getting made?

I'm curious about whether there's a design standard being established for limbs on bulked-up characters, or if it's always going to vary from character to character, and not necessarily in a consistent or predictable way. On non-bulked bodies, uniquely-sculpted hands and feet are the exception, not the rule, but it seems to be the reverse for the bulked-up characters. Obviously the larger hand and foot caps are going to be sculpted, I'm just wondering if the aim is generally to have them sculpted in the same way (toes vs no toes; fingers vs fist).

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a concern for consistency, as with Hulk's color of green. Not that a lack of consistency is a bad thing, as Hulk has been drawn with various shades of green over the years, but as far as I know, he's always been drawn with toes.

I wouldn't say he's always been drawn with toes.

If we're at the point where we're complaining that we aren't getting a Marvel Girl Deadpool variant I'd suggest that we don't really have anything to complain about.

The only thing we have to complain about is complaining itself.[/JFKpool]

Red Skull Onslaught version? Anyone have a pic & comic book #?

Uncanny Avengers, but in my opinion its a book filled with cool ideas but that never really develops into a good comic. YMMV

Guys... are we forgetting the villain ratio? We're supposed to have four, three new. And the army builder is supposed to be a villain, too. Unless we're counting SHIELD as "the Man" I don't think SHIELD agents qualify as villainous. Just sayin.

From youbastards list, we are counting Winter Soldier and Black Widow as villains as that is how they were both originally introduced in the comics.

So the other two villains would be....?

Frankly, it seems - based on the clues - that the variant figure will be a separate character altogether.

2 heroes and 4 villains PLUS a villainous troop builder. Now, theoretically you could do something like...

Black Knight II (heroic, new) with variant Black Knight I (villainous, new) or Black Widow I (villainous, redo) with variant Black Widow II (villainous, new) but putting Nick Fury/Sgt. Fury doesn't really work, and especially not with any other heroes in the wave, based on Zach's hints.

- Captain America & Winter Soldier

- Falcon & Black Widow

- Baron Strucker & Hydra Soldier redux

- Madame Hydra & Hydra Soldier redux

The ones in bold would be villains.

No, there will actually be three figures overlapping, and one additional figure will get a slightly different version.

So not like 48/15.

Don't panic, it will all be okay.

This could also allow for Black Widow I and Black Widow II.

- Captain America & Winter Soldier

- Falcon & Black Widow

- Baron Strucker & Hydra Soldier redux

- Madame Hydra & Hydra Soldier redux

Captain America & Falcon

Winter Soldier & Black Widow

Seems like a more natural pairing to me.
