Oh look, Magneto's pissed off... again... and now he has this ultimate Human Killing Weapon... again... HEY HE'S F**KING UP A LANDMARK... again... yeah it was basically X-Men 1 with like twice as many mutants.

You just described Days of Future Past, too.

I'm sorry. I enjoyed X3.

Apology noted, but not accepted. This is pretty inexcusable.

For such a hated film, so is its box office take. It's still at the top of the franchise, even in adjusted dollars.

That is like saying The BillBoard Music Awards gives out prizes to the BEST in music instead of what sold more. In the end it is everyone's personal preference that matters. To Me X3 was below X1 in quality and story just because it added too much in than needed. It should have stuck to one story either Dark Phoenix or the Cure. Perferably in that order so that there is an even greater reason to have the cure be needed.

Have I missed out on a Hydra Bob recipe in my slight absence from the board?

My favorite SHIELD agents

Top Row: Clay Quartermain, Jimmy Woo, Gabriel Jones, Kate Waynesboro

Middle Row: Alphonso MacKenzie, Valentina de Fontaine, Nick Fury Sr., Dum Dum Dugan, Alexander Pierce

Bottom Row: Daisy Johnson, Sharon Carter, Nick Fury Jr., Maria Hill, Phil Coulson, Jasper Sitwell

What did you use for Quake's arms?

I think my biggest wants are pretty "mainstream". I don't consider 90's X-Factor or Generation X to be "obscure" character lists.

But, man, oh, man, I want a Cardiac Minimate so badly, I don't care how D- or E-List he is.

Yeah, I don't know. I think mine are mainstream too but they keep getting passed by. Like a DOFP wave

Pyro/Colossus

Destiny/Nightcrawler

Blob/Sprite

Storm/Sentinel

Mystique/Sentinel

or even a Galactic Storm

Crystal/Shiar Solider

Sersi/Shiar Solider

Black Knight/Ronan

Quasar/Binary

Gladiator/GiANT Man

Lastly the New Warriors Beginings Trade

Marvel Boy/Firestar

Namorita/Kid Nova

Speedball/Night Thrasher.

I'd think those were all mainstream but odds are I won't get them.

I may be the only person on this planet that feels this way but I have a visceral reaction to Skottie Young's work. I cannot stand it in any capacity and will actually skip issues that he guest pencils. But back on thread...

Inferno would be a KILLER line except no headliners I can think of...

Goblin Queen with S'ym

N'Astirh with DarkChilde

Demogoblin with Goblin

I picked up TRU Wave 17 tonight. And not to throw gasoline on anyone's fire, but Pepper Potts has four mates. Pyro has zero...and he was in three movies. Sorry Zach, I couldn't resist.

You forgot to mention he has been in 5 different cartoon series and 9 different video games. But, who's counting?

Ok, so sticking to the question who is the most important character than hasn't been made I'd have to pick between these three:

Banshee - Longevity, has been featured in multiple mediums, and the last X-Man from the Giant Sized team that hasn't been made. (Sunfire technically has a mini).

Crystal - Longevity, has been in every major team of the Marvel Universe (Inhumans, FF, Avenger, X-Men Associate).

Black Knight - Longevity, has been in multiple teams (Avengers, Heroes for Hire, MI-13, Defenders, UltraForce, Excalibur)

Rad, I completely agree with your opinion but Cyclops still has to answer for Prof. X murder and to me he's not educating these newer mutants they are just inexperience that may be his next victims. But this team needs to be minimates!

I think murder is a wee harsh. Manslaughter at best. He didn't mean to kill Charles and he was under the influence of the Phoenix force. I agree about the teaching aspect though. They very rarely show it happening but it is one of those things you have to assume is happening behind the scenes. I wish there was a way to make the waves happen where one was classic and one was contemporary. Like for example, an 80's wave of Inferno and then a BOTA wave followed by another classic wave then Marvel Later (since it ain't now). WIsh the gang at DST could get more of a heads up because it would be awesome to have a set of mates during a storyline or right after similar to how DC managed to get the Blackest Night figures out.

You could always include the parts for Synch and make him from Chamber.

We've got some cool comic X-Men sets coming up, as well as movie stuff, but nothing based on the classic storyline that I know of. And "two women, one set" has definitely been done before! Hail Ivan!

Hey Zach:

Y'all have but in this last year it has been a one woman if you are lucky per set on the Marvel front since the Alpha Flight sets (Strange Tales,Wolvie, Hulk, AVX, Deadpool, etc). ThunderCats being a great non-marvel exception.

Meggan in her first costume for me

Perfect excuse to get us more Excalibur. Kylun/Meggan, Cerise/Pete Wisdom, Widget/Nocturne?

Damm straight!!

I would LOVE to see all those characters, but i can't see official releases of them coming anytime soon

One variant that i think we will see one day is...

THIS is my ultimate get for a variant. Crystal being my ultimate new figure get.

My Alt version wish would be the Strike Force X-Men:

Just give me a Gambit with parts for Forge (head, hair, leg) and Banshee (head, hair, wings) and a Storm body with Jubilee (head, hair) Psylock (head,hair) parts and I am a HAPPY man.

Actually Mask figures are slightly smaller than Minimates,

Even my largest Minimate is still smaller than a Mask figure with his helmet off

Hmmm... now to track down a MASK motorcycle for Deadpool...

It's not like other chain stores are banging down our doors to get exclusive Minimates rights.

Toys R Us takes a gamble on a lot of our stuff. Next year they're taking a lot of new lines. I don't blame them for being a little selective, and I think they distribute as best they can. It's better than nothing.

Zach - completely get that. I just wish that Target would take the chance again for at least a boxset. Heck even for a DC boxset since they are the home of the JLA figures. Or maybe more love from the Disney store. Please don't take it the wrong way. We are grateful to TRU for giving us a home outside of the LCB store environment. We are just greedy because we love the mates so much!

Maybe some sort of hybrid Inferno boxset would be nice

Goblyn Queen (with Nathan baby piece, like the one in TWD set)

Classic Darkchylde Magik (Or like the Slave Leia look in the promo pic)

(Since X-Factor Cyke can't really be improved, maybe Blue Suit/Yellow Buits Bryne Cyke?)

And I guess Demon Wolverine to anchor the set (Maybe with some cool demon parts to make him not a retread of Outback wave's Wolvie)

As much as I weirdly want a red X-Factor Jean Grey (I have a Jean Addicition) I think that you need a N'astirh or S'ym instead of Scott or Jean. This makes me sad because we would be required by Minimate law to have a Wolverine.

I'd buy two boxed sets. Classic Storm/Pyro/Future Logan/Blob and box set two Destiny/Avalanche/Sentinal/Sprite. But having two girls in one box set apparently is a deal breaker.

I liked it enough to read it, but i don't think i'll ever touch it again.I just didn't feel it was worth the 10 part treatment. And yeah, Kitty's choices were odd. The one thing that bothers me is that we now have two cyclopses, beasts, etc running around.

Also, the whole thing with the past-men being here with the present-men means that:

Either the Earth we've been reading about is an alternate timeline.

Or ever since AOU there simply is no past or future, only the present. Which in turn means that you can go back, bring your old self from friday the 13th 2000 and yourself from thursday the 15th 1999 and so on. Really, the whole thing is a big, bloody mess to say the least. My interpretation is that everything is so screwed up with time and space that everything goes! God, if the Doctor was here to see this he would take his eyes out.

Another way of looking at it would be that the 616 past hasn't been altered and that is why the original five couldn't go back because they never left. Instead a new alternate time line was created the instant Beast went back and brought them forward in time.

I think that this is the case. They didn't go into 616 but maybe 617.

Something that was close or almost the same until this moment happened. AOU definitely

did something to the time/space continuum, which is leading me to believe

Marvel is heading toward that big old DC Nu52 reset button. Also, I am a

believer in the Angela is Jean Grey theory.

Secondly, Kitty leaving was the only thing that redeemed this series for me.

Time and again Kitty has supported all

of those X-Men and never asked questions. She always takes their side. The one

time she asked them to take hers over a group of strangers they said nyet. I’d

be pissed too. At least with Scott’s X-Men you can argue she knows what she is

getting and may even be able to soften them. I still want them to fix this

Illyana mess but whatever.

Back to the Minimates. Sadly, this will be a box set it is a matter of when.

Personally, I would prefer celebrating the anniversary of Inferno or Fall of

the Mutants but bygones. If I had to I would want Xorn Jean, Shogo, Wolverine’s

kid, and Wiccan. Then it is half brotherhood/ half X-Men.

We're definitely doing something for the film, I just don't know if it will be a seven-figure assortment. I don't think TRU is taking it.

If it was a lighter year, we might have given it more love, but it has a lot of competition next year.

But one thing is for certain -- lots of comic X-Men love next year!

Now this makes me happy.

Am I the only one that wants to see this? Maybe it is because it gives us more civilians...

Aleta's light based powers would make for great accessories but again no one remembers her.

I remember her.

I know you do and don't think I don't covet yours!!!

Yeah, I think all have a good shot to get made at some point. I had to look up Aleta, because I'm not a classic GotG fan, but we all love those designs. Crystal is classic Marvel, and she's been on three teams. Siryn I hope will get made right after Banshee.

And kids may not read modern comics, but modern comics are where the movies and cartoons (like Ultimate Spidey) are getting most of their ideas from nowadays.

It is sad but Crystal is one of the most connected characters in the Marvel U and the most ignored. She is an Avenger, Fantastic Four, and Inhumans. She married into both the X-Men and into the Cosmic Realm. She's an easy custom but still would love a major release regardless of the costume. Aleta's light based powers would make for great accessories but again no one remembers her. You should get the trade of GOTG for Jim Valentino's run. I remember loving that book. Why not just make a Banshee two pack with both Teresa and Sean. It could even be a theme! Captain Marvel (Carol and Genius), Banshee (Theresa and Sean), Wasp (Hank Pym and Janet), Hawkeye (Kate and Clint),

Regardless of how obscure they are, alternate looks only work on bulked up characters, or characters with similar outfits, our characters with minor costume changes. You can't include parts to make an entirely different skintight costume, it would be a second full figure.

And again, we started this team with Boomer and Rictor, so we aren't starring a new team, we're adding to an existing one. I can't guarantee we'll ever make MORE characters from this era, but I think there are still places we could put a Siryn if we needed to.

Um... not to be a jerk.. but... ya need to!!! I ave three basic wants left on my cold day in hell wishlist: Siryn, Crystal, and Aleta. The odds aren't in my favor of ever getting any of them but I still try...

Did I miss a link to this somewhere?

Wait so the line up is final and was announced? Damn Columbus day! Looking through this thread it seems safe to guess that my beloved Siyrn is once again overlooked.

How big were the MASK toys? Can we steal a motorcycle from them?

I started this thread from page 1 again for s's & g's and man do I wish these were available on shelves!
