I'm sorry, but HARD disagree. ESPECIALLY given how many Spider-Man Minimates we've gotten as of late. I imagine most people who collect Minimates have at least ONE figure of the classic Spider-Man suit.
Unless we're talking an Ultimate Six box set, I actually think a regular Sinister Six box set would BENEFIT from a lack of Spider-Man. Just have it be the villains.
The novelty of it being an instant collection of some of Spidey's most notable enemies ALONE, I guarantee, would be an AUTOMATIC lure for people.
It must be the apocalypse… I disagree and we have numbers to prove that Z is right. Look at the Deadly Foes of Spider-Man set that Luke made. That thing was and is a love letter to the line and to fans. It wasn’t an instant success and that was in the prime years. You need an anchor character to get interest from casual fans and new ones. We would need at least two box sets to get all new Sinister Six figures and there would be a Spider-Man in both. Perhaps a battle damaged one.
If the goal is to get an Electro, maybe focusing on a storyline that he’s heavily featured in. Like Untold Tales’ Shock before Shock. We could have Electro, Eel, Spider-Man Ditko, and any other two characters from that run. We could even have Amazing Spider-Man 422-425, The Rose, Electro, Spider-Man, Nate Grey, and the female Doc Ock.

The solution to army builders in boxsets is a boxset of exclusively army builders.
Like a S.H.I.E.L.D. themed boxset: with a SHIELD Agent (M and F chest piece), a HYDRA Soldier, an AIM Soldier, a Watchdogs Soldier and an ULTIMATUM Soldier. Or a space boxset with a Kree soldier (pink and blue heads), a Skrull soldier, a shi'ar soldier (M and F chest piece?), a badoon soldier and so on. There there's a bunch of uniforms that allow for this. 2000s era Guardians, a variety of X-Men, Fantastic Four. Sure, some require specific pieces (Star-Lord for example has a unique chest block) whereas others are actually simple add-ons or removals (a hula skirt on top of a female GOTG body for Mantis). Some off the road ones like Bug, Deathcry and Captain Universe could be squeezed into a GOTG boxset like that through alternate pieces for the base GOTG uniform body.
Eh, i hate this thread i started. They changed the format and so all the great suggestions of Thunderbolts, New Warriors, Inhumans... all these 6 figure sets... basically something that felt extremely likely due to fitting the 6-figure format, something like the New Warriors, is now like we're being explicitly told we are probably never going to get them because we're only getting 5 figures.
I think if people were willing to compromise on one main Warrior being left out it could work across two packs released in the same year. We could do the 5 pack : Kid Nova, Nita, Thrash, Speedball, Firestar and then a fast follow GOTG with Vance (Two chest blocks and two heads), Marty, Yondu, Charlie 27, StarHawk with pieces for Aleta.

It’s definitely left its mark here in the city on the X-Fans. Especially, the ones here then. Great art should move you and this certainly did. I saw Lenore and was just in awe of how great the show has been. Hope we get mates from it.

Peter B. Parker with baby holder.
also X-Men 97 that older Jubilee would be awesome along with other characters that have never been produced.
For X-Men 97 I’d love to start with a Boxset of Jean, Cyclops, Magneto, Juggernaut, Wolverine. Then a fast follow of box 2: Storm, Bishop, Cool Dad Magneto, Morph (both heads), Shaw. Box 3: Rogue, Gambit, Bishop, Sinister, and Sabertooth.

Well, I think we could do some stories to fill out some slots. I’ve heard people don’t like army builders in the boxsets but as someone who buys multiple box sets it’s never bothered me. I bought several of wave 2 MMPR to display the cast changes but I wish we had a for for them like a Puddy. Imagine a uniform set of Hellions Vs New Mutants (in the new X costume) packed with the accessories to make more. The 5th figure could be a Genosian Solider or a Friends of Humanity Person or a Zero Tolerance Sentinel.
I’d love them to finish off teams as well. Greg Cap’s Feral, Moonstar, Warpath, Sunspot and Stryfe would be a great 5 pack.

I would welcome a definitive Wolverine in this costume. I don't feel like it's been done total justice yet.
Plus, it would free up a slot in an Astonishing X-Men release for Colossus, completing the team.
I don't imagine I would be the only one disappointed if when we finally get Crystal she's in a white costume wearing a bomber jacket.
At this point I’d take a Crystal head packed into an FF pack. How a member of the Avengers, FF, Inhumans, and married into the X-men has never had a figure is actually obscene.

It's a snarky way to say Wolverine because X-23 was Wolverine at one point.
Anyways. Based on Zach's earlier commentsI would be comfortable saying that it doesn't HAVE to be Wolverine. Could be a Storm variant, could be a Colossus variant. Could be loopholes saying that they're looks we haven't seen. Could be entirely fresh.
I trust DST to not make the same mistake 20th Century Fox made in considering Wolverine as the only X-Men member.It would have to be an A Lister and I think that knocks out the X-Factor team since they just got released in those costumes. It’s been years since the Outback team was released in 2012 (Hail Ivan)! So it could be fair to have everyone as a potential (including Sabertooth) but I don’t know if any of the team is a big enough name to offset the really lesser known ones. 🤷🏻♂️
and PS, she’s still Wolverine. 😘

I may stand alone on this one... but I would 1000% be down for a Malice-possessed Polaris. That costume SCREAMS 'toyetic'... and don't think we've ever seen her in toy form.
I agree with you it’s gorgeous but it’s hard to do Inferno without Maddy, Sinister, Magik, and one of the demons Sym/Naistra. That leaves one a lot left and no “big names” so Wolverines dad it is.

I read a lot of the Inferno stuff whilst it was 'current' & I most certainly recall much of it ..... so I understand the reluctance to portray the S&M gear etc. in a toy-line but TBQH I cannot fathom why anybody would want a new-born infant as an accessory/character . Maybe it's just me ?
Welllllll baby Christoper was a pretty important character for at least 5 years. He was around from Uncanny 200 til about 271 and drove a lot of story. I for one am happy to have one for my X-Factor display but know he’s not for everyone.

Locking in my guesses now:
-two new villains (Goblin Queen and S'ym/N'astirh)
-two heroes in new looks (Magik and possibly leather bikini Storm or a longshot would be Goblin Princess Meggan),
-one previously made (but long overdue) villain (Mister Sinister)
-one micro-figure (Baby Nathan).
Yeah, I think it’s going to be Wolverine’s Dad still. It gets us the main players of this classic What If? https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/What_If...%3F_Vol_1_6?file=What_If...%3F_Vol_1_6.jpg

I’m thinking the other slot is for Goblin Queen. And the alternate look is likely Magik.
So, Sinister, Maddy, Dark Child, Wolvie’s Dad and maybe a demon.

I have to say, an army builder 4 pack is really what I hear people talk about. Whether it’s two joes and two cobras or three cobras and a joe if an all cobra pack isn’t an option. This always makes me appreciate the work and care of the MAX line. That 4 pack with Kate and the others took the multiple purchase cake until the StrikeForce wave came out. Fingers crossed that we get something that sells like hot cakes. Know that crowd funding isn’t a preferred way forward for this but I would be on the hook minimum for 8 packs as my addiction likes 7 of every army builder whilst my boy scout side likes to keep one mint in box.

This must be Sinister, since Scott and Jean's looks did not debut until the 1990's
So that gives us one slot in the Inferno set taken.

That wasn't always true.
(Hail Ivan!)For Marvel Series 86 is based on a 1990s storyline, and has two new characters, plus one who has only been done animated. Series 87 is an 80s storyline allegedly mutant related, and has two new characters again, plus one in a new outfit that is very different from the one we have. Is likely Inferno.
new characters: N’Aistra or however you spell it. The new outfit character is probably Illyana but could be a red herring for Maddy or Cable.
I could see:
Dark Child (Silver Armor)
Goblyn Queen (Tamer)
Naistra (those Demon wings from DND)
Sym
Goblin Wolverine’s Dad
pack in baby Cable in a telekinesis bubble like dungeon master. Although I’d prefer Gateway.
-
Thinking it through… could the “Inferno” set have a baby Cable with it encased in a ball similar to the dungeon master? That’s a way to show off a character we have in a way we definitely don’t have him in.

Nothing against Firestar - she is great and deserves a newer Mate - but man, if we're talking about character Redos for the Clone Saga, it's gotta be a White Suit Doc Ock.
I mean, really, Kaine's gotta have someone to murder.
I completely forgot about White suit Doc Ock!

I would prefer a Marvel Now Magik but a Goblin Queen in her crazy black crop top outfit could be used for a lot of customs, as could Darkchylde hoof legs.
Having a think. Spider-Man Clone Saga could easily be:
Redo: Spider-Man in the Dan Jurgens Costume
Redo: Firestar she was around as Spider-Dan became a New Warrior and had a crush on her.
Animated: Jackal.
New: Puma.
New: Kaine.

Depending on the Illyana they can leverage the Battle Beast mold.

Clone Saga with Jackal or Kaine would make sense for the 90's set.
If the 80's one is Inferno, Darkchylde Magik could be the very different costume, with Wolverine, Sinister, Maddie, and a Marauder or demon.
80s X-men has a lot to cover! From the end of Dark Phoenix to the Brood Saga all the way to the Siege Perilous storyline with Lady Mandarían. As much as I would want Inferno, Fall of the Mutants also exists in that era. Perhaps Malice as Polaris is the alternative looked character since the tooling for Darkchylde could be expensive. I did manage to kitbash one in the silver version so maybe it’s not too hard.

As much as I'd love a New Warriors set my suspicion is that the 90's set will be X-related. We seem due.
Wait we are getting a 90s set next?
Teams That Would Fit Perfectly In The Current Boxsets
in Marvel Minimates

During the peak time, Deadly Foes, a four pack containing more accessories than a Deluxe Classified, featuring Doc Ock, Carnage, Sandman, and the Lizard was a peg warmer. So as much as it pains me to say this Z has valid points and I think he’s right. It’s a bitter pill to swallow but the fact is that you need an anchor even for LCS/online. Also, LCS are not in a boom. There’s under 3K in North America if that. They don’t want to hold on to inventory as that costs them money. They want to quickly sell out and make their profit while moving on to the next thing. The line needs guaranteed hits so I suspect we will always have a redo of a hugely popular figure in every box set go forward. Even Elektra as Daredevil with Bullseye and Kingpin wasn’t enough to get Stride of Pride DD knocked out of the boxset. Unless DST pivots on their crowdfunding positioning or an economic boom occurs the days of Alpha Flight Box Set 1 and 2 are over. At this rate we are lucky to get A con exclusive.
