Same here. Third. What's with all the hate for Matty Toy Collector? I haven't used it but to me the fact it exists and is pumping out figures of characters that fans actually want is increduble. What's the beef?

I have been thinking about this for a while but, if Diamond created a line like Matty Toy Collector where they put out an exclusive two pack once a month (available online only) of figures that had a lot of fan love but may not have enough support for a wide release, who would you pick for the first year of releases? My choices: Jan- Vance Astro & Starhawk Feb- 60's Marvel Girl & Bryne Cyclops Mar - Bagman FF Spidey & Crystal Apr - Black Knight & Mockingbird May - Destiny & Blob Jun - Speedball & Aracne Jul - FF SheHulk & Wyatt Wingfoot Aug - Strike Force Banshee & Storm (with parts to turn into Forge) Sep - Tigra & Swordsman Oct - She-Thing & Karnak Nov - Toad & Avalanche Dec - Medusa & Gorgon

I'm looking for the actual stickers to print on.

Exactly. I'm quite shocked this hasn't happened yet. But with that logic, the FF Kids, Artie, Leech, etc are also big enough thata they could have mates.

Hey guys - anyone know of a place to get decals for minimates? I"m finally joining the 21st century and going in that direction but Luke's doesn't have any.

See a DR. Reyes and Forge two-pack works and gives us both genders in uniform.

This! And all of this. I would loose my sh!t over the Phoenix Saga box set you've just described. Follow it up with a Dark Phoenix Saga full of villains (FA White Queen, Sebastian Shaw, Hellfire Mastermind & Dark Phoenix) and we've got ourselves a damn fine pair of sets. I'm thinking about buying multiples of the DoFP Box set as well to make up extra M-camp mutants. I even went so far as to buy an extra Rachel Summer hairpiece to do a QC with... If only there was a guy uniform as well... then we could have Franklin, Mags, and Piotr.

YOU GET ALL THE POINTS!

Sorry but to me the biggest wants are Crystal, Vance Astrovik (Marvel Boy era), Night Thrasher, Speedball, and a freaking set of a male and female Jim Lee X-Men uniforms.

I just want a Vance Astor so I can make a Marvel Boy #newwarriorsforever.

This. all of this! Multiple rounds of it.

Wish we could get an X-Men Forever themed line that jumped around time. I'd do Mimic with Marvel Girl Forge (Banshee parts) and Strike Force Storm (I'd buy boat loads of these) Toad and Blob. with Forge (Banshee)/Storm

You have another vote for this two pack! I'll vote for whatever I have to to get a 60's Jean Grey. I mean come ON. THis is her best look ever.

PREACH it Brother! For me there was no better years than the New Mutant/AOA year and then the Alpha Flight year.

See, although the images are great and I will buy the set, it is hard not to feel disappointed that "my" favorites aren't being considered or used for this set (Inferno, Inhumans, Traditional GOTG). Also, it took me a second to look at Kitty and realize that was the cover image costume since I usually associate her with her Sprite outfit or the Green M jumpsuit in this story. I hope you get your sets some day. Traditional GOTG are currently off-limits, Inferno is getting more obscure by the day, and the Inhumans are a tough sell as a box set. But Ask DST! This Kitty changes into her green outfit, if that helps. But that jacket is pretty distinctive on the cover. Hey Zach thanks for the response. First off I think the set looks great, I just meant that for *me* I view SDCC as the time where more niche sets could be pumped out and this set seems like a LCS/TRU set. Anyway it does help that Kitty/Kate changes and yes, she is on the cover of the story but I haven't read the story in years. Interseting that the Original GOTG are off-limits. I will defend Inferno unti I am blue in the face and don't get me started on a Crystal minimate. It may get to the point that I will have to start petitions for petitions .

You just described Days of Future Past, too. 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?

What did you use for Quake's arms?

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

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)

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.
