What was this thread about again?

Kang?

FYI, we're supposedly going to be debuting the Hulk Minimate this Friday at 3 pm EST on Marvel.com, in a liveblog where you can ask questions (possibly via Twitter, but I'm not sure). Once I have the address, I'll let you all know.

I'm HOPING that we can also debut the rest of the TRU assortment. Not sure if that should be mentioned here or in a separate Avengers Movie Wave thread. Didn't see one.

The rest of the characters in the TRU wave are Fury, Widow, Hawkeye, and Loki, right?

I can see this at sdcc because of the stormbreaker set beta ray bill was the only debut minimate and special one in the four, also bill was release shortly in a 2-pack which they can do with jack-0-lantern and his fugly messed up face.

Um, Sif?

Will get the one set for Odin. Would pick up the other if you could take off all those pieces for a regular Grey Gargoyle but that doesn't seem to be the case

We're getting there with the Asgardians. Now make the Warriors Three and Heimdall

What if Kang comes out and clogs up shelves to the point where DST has to cancel the Marvel minimates line? It seems likely

Oh, come on. You have four fan favorites and two characters starring in current books (WS in his own and Falcon in X vs A), and it's a convention set targeted to comic people. Maybe swap out Zemo for Commander Rogers just so you can get a star-n-stripes shield in there, and you can't say this lineup is any less feasible than the Stormbreaker set from last year.

That set did have Thor, and a Thor movie had just come out. Comic-con sets aren't just targeted at hardcore Minimate collectors, they're targeted at non-Minimate-buying comic fans, and even attendees who don't read a lot of comics. So you need an A-lister. Kang, Falcon, Winter Soldier and Zemo are high Bs (most, if not all villains are Bs), and while I love Commander Rogers, if he's not Cap, he's not Cap. Not saying we won't make those characters, just not THAT box set.

So you're saying you'll never make a Wrecking Crew boxset

I think people will be happy with our box sets.

Captain America in hot pink pants / Thor with only one eyebrow / Iron Man with a single dent in his armor / Hulk wearing sunglasses

I'd buy 17-23 of them all by my lonesome

For the record I would not mind a single one of these getting made. Except maybe Jane Foster, or Jessica Jones.

Voted for Zemo, the Wrecking Crew, and Blob/Toad/Pyro. Bummed that I couldn't toss Avalanche a vote just to round out the (box)set

I'm more surprised that we haven't seen this Thor

I can't see collectors being upset about this one, and surely it would sell just as well as "regular Thor with stubble"

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting.

Glad I can skip the Nick Fury pack since I already have Samuel L. Fury, will probably get the rest

I like this wave. All I need is the Lang/Sentry pack and I'm good. My wallet is thankful

90's X-Factor is pretty high up on my list

And I don't even want too many, just stick a Havok/Polaris pack and a Multiple Man/Strong Guy pack in a TRU wave and I'm good

There's only one who can be the next one

I'm guessing Ultimate Spidey is the Eighth mate.

I'm liking the wings of Spider Sense Spidey.

Kingpin is really odd looking.

Avengers: Under Seige

Baron Zemo / Hercules

Mr. Hyde / Black Knight

Absorbing Man / Female SHIELD Agent (Just Because?) (Specialty Set)

Metallic Absorbing Man Variant

Blackout / Wasp (TRU Set)

Moonstone / Beardy Thor (TRU Set)

Accompanying Boxset: Wrecking Crew

What was the point of the Civilian Thor/Asgardian Guard TRU Two-pack, then? I'm sure fans would have been much more content if the two TRU exclusive packs were Volstagg/Sif and Fandral/Hogun.

Anyone have a pic of the mini movie Avengers assembled? (sans Hawkeye )

Why can't they just give us a 6 mate set

My thinking is that if Galactus doesn't make the box set he'll definitely show up in a two pack somewhere.

I'm not sure the same holds true for the 5 heralds.

Nova / Terrax / Air Walker / Firelord

Although I want them all

It looks like the Beta Ray Bill and Armored Thor TRU pack is one half of this boxset.

So if we get another boxset we should expect it to include Civil War Captain America and Arnim Zola.

I am going to hazard a guess that it will be Sif/Loki/Enchantress/Executioner.

Hopefully we get a Warriors Three + Literally Anyone from Simonson's run boxset as a companion piece.

And this is a pack that will sell (if its what it looks like it is). Who doesn't want Sif and the Warriors Three?

Although now I'm beginning to fear TRU Balder being a nightmare to find.

If we get a comic Sif and Warriors Three box set to go with Balder and Beta Ray Bill we are an updated Loki/Heimdall 2 pack away from extreme awesomeness. Although Enchantress and Executioner wouldn't hurt. Or Ulik. Or Malekith. Or Kurse. Or Hela.
