My comment about 'that day coming' was , in retrospect, a bit dramatic. Sorry! I'm 70 next year & it has slowly dawned on me that St.Peter ain't going to be interested in my 'inventory' of minimates .
You could have another 30 years!

My knowledge of Firestar as a character is limited , obviously . I am however on record somewhere as saying that she is arguably the oldest Marvel minimate which hasn't had a review . One other character that comes to mind as being 'overdue' is 'comic' Valkyrie , maybe people would like another but she is almost (in my eyes) perfect ,14 years on .
Big bold statement : if I were to sell any of my Marvel Minimates ....& that day is coming .... I wouldn't miss much from the pre-2008 waves .
It will be a sad day when you get out of the game. All I did to mine was update the face with a more modern one.
As for Firestar I’m more than happy to talk about her at any time :).
Going through Spider-Man issues, I paused on the long forgotten Round Robin: The Sidekick’s Revenge. Which could actually solve two problems if it was the wave in question. It is a team up of Spider-Man, Punisher, Moon Knight, Nova and NIGHT THRASHER against Midnight, the Secret Empire, and THUNDERBALL!
If this happened: this set could be Spider-Man, Punisher, Moonknight, Night Thrasher and A member of the secret empire which would free up the slot we needed for a New Warriors 5 pack of Nova, Firestar, Marvel Boy, Speedball, and Nita.
If the went for THUNDERBALL as the villain, a Thor Vs Wrecking Crew set would be feasible as well!
I hope that DST explores other means to crowdfund (Haslab) or even made to order (Dragonman) because 15 Marvel Mates a year is not enough for this greedy Gus.

Does anyone have an alternative to Shapeways since they closed down their marketplace?
-
Any hints on your next amazing custom? And why is it Marvel Boy, Speedball, and Rage?

NGL Im just happy to finally get a Stryfe.

This reminds me. I have been meaning to make a PowerHouse custom.

I love the Morbius we have ,why would we need another ?....is often the sort of comment that first comes to mind whenever I see requests for a revamp* of any character that we already have .I then realise that many characters that I have are not always in the hands of other collectors
. Morbius,for example, arrived in the 'Strange Tales ' boxset 11 years ago & I can't see it being bettered but I see why many people would want another . Same goes for Firestar in every respect .
* see what I did there ?
I use to be more anti-redo but looking at the database and seeing how long it’s been for some of these characters I really feel like anything that is older than 10 years is basically a new character since the line has evolved so much. As for the Firestar comment, sir, she was done wrong and should have been fixed by now. That mask doesn’t match that costume. And the costume wasn’t even painted correctly lol. Justice for Firestar… in more ways than one!

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.

Every Spidey set I just want a new Firestar to be announced. Maybe a new Morbius if we are doing 90s storylines?
Firestar in which outfit though?

The GI Joe set is now available on Mattel Creations. Looking at the set...boy I don't know. They look tiny even for the Mega figures, especially the HISS tank. Mattel does tend to discount this stuff, so I think I will wait for a deal.
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.

I'll take hodgepodge. I loved how dynamic the blue water elf look was.
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?

Nikki doesn't count and Starhawk can only counts with generosity because shifting goalposts is the only way to make things "ok". "Original Guardians" becomes even less feasible when you take it to mean 4 dudes who appeared in a single story that didn't have any ripple until a few years later when they were brought back and half of them entirely redesigned. Speaking of, flimsy argument because to go off the unpopular one-off 4-man team then Vance's original design was an all purple suit anyway and he didn't even get the Cap shield/Cap connections until 1990.
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.

And you realise - even if we do someone get both New Warriors and the original Guardians of the Galaxy - you are going to have to drop a member from that team too?
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…

Marvel Boy could be skipped over, and done as an alternate look for Justice or Vance Astro in an Avengers or Guardians set, maybe.
That’s what I did in my wishlist. With a fast follow GOTG set.
5 hours ago, Navaan said:Absolutely not the blue skinned one with the red singlet or the Kymaera look. That said, I suppose I am failing to recall which other Firestar I am thinking of. But seriously, no Namorita, no buy, for me. As much as I appreciate needing tent pole/anchor characters, I am getting really, really, really tired of characters I already have or have no interest in.
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.

Nova, Namorita in her blue form, Justice, Night Thrasher, Speedball. That's your set. Firestar has had a couple.
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.

I've waited 30+ years for this set.
It's too expensive and the minifigures leave a little to be desired in terms of selection & number, but I *will* be buying it day one.
Same. Did we figure out the magic formula to get it into minimates scale?

Idk, someone who wants more characters and considers Absorbing Man a member of the crew. If you want to get technical though,
