The villain is not the new character, but he looks very different from what we have and he hasn't been seen in a while.

New character is a relatively new Marvel character, not a classic.

And there are plenty of villains coming up. There are three new ones in Series 50, two new ones in Series 17, four new ones in 54 and 18...

Wait a holy pronoun second there... The Villian is male but the new character's gender isn't revealed BUT is a relatively new character not a classic? My money is on Abigal Brand for the win. She is popular but not a classic and relatively new in Marvel speak continuity wise.

that songbird piece is awesome.

and LOL @Lobsterman

The songbird is making me crave a Genis Marvel. We almost have the complete Avengers Forever lineup. Now THAT was a good yarn.

These are not mine but I just HAD to share. This guy, dinosaursinf14s, has a great blog and I am so freaking jealous of his Power Pack. You should all take a look. It makes me wish I was a better painter/decal user. I would totally buy these in store. *** Note the multiverse wasn't letting me link the image correctly so I had to put the image on my photo bucket.

I don't know why this popped into my head but didn't someone somewhere say something about redoing Kitty Pryde? Since this version (Hail Ivan) was out of date and is part of Marvel Now? Be gentle, I am on cough syrup.

In-hand, according to the picture.

Somebody is about to be in a world of trouble..

MINE! Gimme Gimme Gimme!

Wow. This got me interested. Previously I was just going to buy a loose Rulk since he was the only character that I didn't have but these all look good. I'm holding my breath on Elektra that she has something to redeem her but if not 3 out of 4 ain't too bad. Funny how this set is better than the comic it is established on.

As much as I love Sue, I would rather have a character that hasn't been done before or is in a need of a redo. That said the Galactus line has been a peg warmer at my TRU so I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have a set of lesser known characters again.

I thought that set did fairly well. There was maybe one or two sets that hung around for a while between 3 different Toys R Us stores. It seemed like the Secret Wars and Captain America sets hung around lot longer on the shelfs.

That is what is so funny about geography. That Secret wars set flew off the shelves in NYC but the Galactus set has been hanging there for months.

I was thinking of doing This version of DarkChylde

Using a Seven of Nine as the base, remove the Star Trek insignia, Vorin's Feet, Azazel's Tail, and then I got stuck... I was debating taking a Disney Thor helmet and choping off of the "ears" and glueing on painted red Loki Horns. But that seemed too messy. Then I thought about Gluing Magik hair to a painted silver Loki Helmet and that didn't sound right either. Would love to hear what you come up with.

nothing heard yet...

I am confused by this too. Do we know when we are getting what? I am starting to feel like we are getting wave 51 before 50.

Anyone remember Mantra from the Ultraverse? Emma Frost makes for a nice base. Great, just what I need to do, start thinking about Ultraverse customs.

I am in a huge minorrity but I LOVED the Ultraverse! I am still annoyed they didn't mention it during the Exiles run or during any of the Phoenix sagas. Last time we saw the Phoenix Force and the Infity Gems they were in the UV but then they magically appeared here and all of those stories were forgotton.

The Avengers movie Hulk had toes and no tattered pants.

Hail Ivan

Could one swap out the feet then if Toes are your thing? I can't believe I just typed that...

I didn't have issues but I remember reading soaking it in hot warm did the trick. Anybody confirm?

Has anyone put the "flash" spider sense piece on a Magma yet to see what it looks like?

I think that her Shadowcat costume still works but it is my favorite look of hers. To make the one you suggested would be tricky unless you can use decals for the chest. If so it is pretty simple since it shares parts with 90's Scott and Jim Lee Logan. I wish they would make her like that since it is very similar to the Jim Lee X-Uniform for a woman and then I could finally get my Strike Force X-Men.

It helps that Goldeneye is the BEST Bond film of all time. Even Natalia is stunning. And Trevelyan is my favorite Bond villain.

...we really need Bond Minimates...

Also, yep, i'm seeing The Wolverine solely for more Phoenix. With her having a poster, i'm hoping she's more than a flashback cameo.

I second both of these things. It should at least be the set up for the next X-Film.

I wish I was able to show off as many of my mates as you all do! I have a 25 mate display policy only. It is good because it doesn't look cluttered but I do get sad that some of them are just in the "toy box".

ah, makes sense.

What really makes sense is the 3inch DC Figures. I wish there was a way to make Giant-Man Taller and still look Manufactured. I use to pose him with Bane legs for added height but got ashamed by my false hood.

oh snap didnt know

why does puck look shorter than the peter pan kid

I didn't know either at the time and bought the Peter Pan set so that I could add the slipper feet to the Kid legs to make a shorter Puck. Whomp. I think he looks shorter because of the hair.

Sorry guys but I have been on a vacation. The Shorter legs don't add that much to the overall figure and actually are the same height as the slipper feet. For S&Gs I put a puck on the shorter legs, regular slipper foot Puck, a figure on shorter legs, a regular figure, and a DC sized figure next to each other.

For customs! Not to overload existing figures!

Sorry bud, I am trying out the Polais reciepe and already using them ;(

Well, Been working on Kazar and a little happy just not quite there yet. I feel like he looks more Kamandi than Kazar... Also, how is he so freaking smooth in the Savage Land. They don't have razors?

Yeah, a slightly hour-glass shaped torso could work, but adding a physical chest would be a tampo alignment nightmare, not to mention eventually resulting in TM2 creating a whole bunch of inappropriate customs I'd rather not see.

I am so against this that my body hurts. A change of that nature to make curves for a female goes against the established Minimate brand. It would be one thing if they did what Lego did which was create a separate brand but I wouldn't want them to inflict the new form into the existing brand. But, that being said, they sadly need to do something to get out of Lego's shadow which is picking up some serious steam and Marvel support.

As to the shifting height debate, Maybe it's because my spouse only lets me have 20 displayed at a time (whipped) that it doesn't bother me to do a size change for Wolverine or at least the option. If he is displayed on my shelves he is always crouching anyway. I wish I could just have a Wolvie that would fit on the Throwing Hand piece.

Overall, the 2 inch rule I feel limits the brand. I would do the short arms/legs for kids, standard size for Adults, and then 3 inches for Robots. I took a quick photo to show what I mean. And don't get me started on how sad I am to not have a Giant Giantman, Galactus, Watcher, or Sentinel.

I don't want to see shorter body types used unless it's absolutely necessary. Franklin Richards, maybe. Wolverine, no.

I can't wait for a Franklin Richards! I have a lame custom right now but can't wait to see a real release.

Wow. There has always been something thta bothered me about Thunderbird's epaulette shoulders that bothered me but the black underneath it really solves that. Great job! Now to get the pieces together so that I can do the same. PS these are great photos too.
