Just got the New Warriors Omnibus 3 and completely forgot that the New Warriors had crossed paths with the characters in this set! I am so excited now for this set.

Firestar in which outfit though?

I don’t think the tank will work, you may be better off with the 3.75 tank. The plane might look good in background.

I’m thinking Duke, Destro, Chameleon or whatever her name was and maybe Stalker or RocknRoll.

ReKennect has their next new set coming next week! I am so excited.

The selection of YA was really well timed with the characters being in the public spotlight. The comic series just hasn’t sold well since Children’s Crusade. The set was really well done but the representations are of comics. Again, a book that didn’t sell well. The FF set was near perfection. I had no context for the Silver Surfer and still loved it. We also hadn’t gotten an FF set since 2013. They also are some of Marvel’s best known properties. I have no issues airing grievances with DST but the price point for the 6 packs was not one. They were jammed full of accessories and characters for a fair price. Others disagreed. Between the sales and the price point we are at 5 figures and a mini figure for the next few sets and I’m just grateful that we are still getting sets.

The Skottie look is interesting and harder to custom so an official release would be great but given the limitations of 5 characters I can’t see giving up another Warrior for it.

So, this set would be a 2026 release. Possibly summer. 87: Inferno June ‘25 88: New FF Q425 89: Spidey 1T26 90: Deadpool 2T26 I recall someone mentioning that modern comics don’t sell well so I imagine it would be from Deadpool’s hey day of the mid to late ‘90s. Although from the 2000’s, if there was money, I’d say Hit Monkey wild be a shoe in.

It will be interesting to see what this wave will bring and from what era. Deadly Foes Perhaps?

Hi. If I remember correctly, Vance wore that costume going from their second appearance on. As you pointed out, the 90s is when they rose to more mainstream fame. It was at the same time as the New Warriors. In that series it was shown how Starhawk was manipulating events to form the team so he’s in a “original” in the same vein of Cap being an “original” Avenger. The fact still remains that Vance with the Cap Shield is popular enough to get figures made of him. Especially since he was also a part of the StarLord GOTG series. He, Angelica, and Nova are the three Warriors that would be able to be made outside of the existing 6 to get us to the goal: a complete original lineup of Warriors. But, two of those three are needed to help sell the set. Ideally, Vance and Angel would come with pack ins to make Spitfire and Major Astro. If there was a Namor set then yes, Nita works there. Speedball could go in a Spider-Man set as he was associated with him. An X-men set or a Spidey set could have Firestar. Etc. the only character that is stuck in the Warriors Wave would be Night Thrasher. Lastly, DST has to be watching what Legends does and sadly blue Nita was a peg Warmer.

The original guardians were 4 members. 5 if you generously want to count Starhawk. If there is no flexibility in the box sets, which we have seen with Inferno, then one member has to be cut. The box will need a tent poll character so that means Nova and Firestar have to be in it. Although popular, Vance has the best chance of being made as an alternate look as a Variant Cap America or as a member of the Guardians. If Young Avengers and FF sold better then we wouldn’t be in this position but it’s the reality of the situation as explained. Currently we know the slate that takes us into 2026. If Firestar got picked up in the Spidey Wave then that would give us a potential NW set in 26/27 that could be close enough.

I’m more curious about the Spider-Man set. I’m not his biggest fan but any time the possibility of getting a fixed Firestar comes up, I get very interested…

That’s what I did in my wishlist. With a fast follow GOTG set. Nita in her Skottie Young Disney Atlantis look wouldn’t match the rest of the team eras. So the blue look would have to be her hodgepodge costume to make sense. Unless we could get two box sets for the Warriors 😈. After all we are also missing Rage, Sil, Turbo, and Powerpax.

Firestar had *A* figure almost 20 years ago and it was wrong. She also is one of the better known members of the team. Firestar and Marvel Boy can even come with extra heads to make Vance Astro and Spitfire. If anyone gets the axe it sadly would be Namorita. She’s an easy custom.

Same. Did we figure out the magic formula to get it into minimates scale?
