The Asgardian I'd guess is Balder - Grandad I dunno. Odin in mortal disguise?

The Asgardian is a troop builder: there were two of them walking down a hallway together and a bunch standing in a line later in the trailer

These guys:

EDIT: Also, the middle Frostie there looks to be the same one from wave 39

Hopefully boxsets give us Sif/Warriors Three/Heimdall

Let me predict this wave's content

Spider-Man/Green Goblin

Hulk/Abomination

Wolverine/Sabretooth

Yay?

Actually I'd almost guarantee the opposite. Iron Man may tweak his suit again and Cap may get a new look for the modern age but the rest will look identical.

Well, most of the characters in the Thor movie are wearing colorful costumes. Can't say the same for the Cap movie or First Class.

Another thought crosses my mind... next year's Avengers line may be an almost complete retread. Movie Iron Man, movie Cap, movie Thor, movie Hulk, movie Black Widow, movie Nick Fury... we've already seen all of them as mates. So that leaves, what, movie Hawkeye as a new mate?

First Class minimates... wasn't expecting that.

Thor waves at TRU and in specialty stores, probably means the same for at least CA movie mates, maybe First class too.

For movie-mate haters, at least take heart that movie Destroyer looks identical to comics Destroyer. So there's at least one new character in it for you

This was the thread with the last poll.

A TON of those various mates listed in the options have been made since it was made

Looking through it:

AGE OF APOCALYPSE - Jean Grey, Nate Grey, Weapon X, Cyclops, Holocaust, Sunfire

ALPHA FLIGHT - Guardian, Sasquatch, Snowbird, Shaman, Aurora, Northstar

AVENGERS - Falcon, Black Panther, Kang, Black Knight, Tigra, Super-Adaptoid, Mockingbird, Yellowjacket, Hellcat

DARK AVENGERS - Norman Osborn/Iron Patriot, Moonstone/Ms Marvel, Noh-Varr, Ares

EXCALIBUR - Captain Britain, Phoenix, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, Meggan

INHUMANS - Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, Gorgon, Crystal, Maximus, Triton, Lockjaw, Quicksilver (Green)

MASTERS OF EVIL - Baron Zemo, Radioactive Man, Moonstone, Mr. Hyde, Black Knight, Enchantress

SINISTER SIX - Electro, Lizard, Vulture, Doc Ock, Scorpion

THUNDERBOLTS - Baron Zemo, Moonstone, Songbird, Mach IV

NEW THUNDERBOLTS - Penance, Radioactive Man, Swordsman, Venom, Songbird, Green Goblin, Bullseye

VILLAINS, IRON MAN - Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Mandarin, the Ghost

WRECKING CREW - Wrecker, Bulldozer, Piledriver, Thunderball

X-MEN, 90's - Jean Grey, Storm, Cyclops, Omega Red

X-MEN, FIRST APPEARANCE - Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, Angel, Cyclops

YOUNG AVENGERS - Wiccan, Patriot, Hulkling, Hawkeye, Iron Lad, Stature, Speed, Kang, Vision 2.0 (Does the older one count?)

I think there would definite interest in running this again. And this time the Wrecking Crew will be number 1

Just replace Black Bolt with Triton and that's still a viable option, too

Hmmm...

Thor/Jane Foster

Loki/Destroyer

Odin/Heimdall

Sif/Frost Giant

Some Thor Variant/Warriors 3 Boxset

Yeah, a TRU wave and a boxset could probably cover all the core characters

So these are scheduled for April, right?

And the Thor movie comes out in May.

Might we not see Thor movie mates in the regular comic-shop series? TRU only, perhaps?

What I'd want

Avalanche/Pyro

Enchantress/Executioner

Helmut Zemo / German Soldier

Variant Heinrich Zemo

What I'd except

Captain America / Thor

Iron Man / Hulk

Spider-Man / Wolverine

Variant Pantsless Spider-Man

Quite possibly . . . i've never actually read the wreching crew in anything aside from Runaways and there was talk of some kind of enchanted shovel or some such. LOL hence the picture.

Excavator, the temporary fifth member of the Crew, wielded an enchanted shovel

I'd be surprised if we don't see the Crew soon, to be honest. Obviously the fans want to see them and they've shown up in two cartoons recently now, Super Hero Squad Show and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

In terms of comic-accurate mates to tie in I'm hoping for some nice boxsets

Thor's Bros:

Balder/Fandral/Hogun/Volstagg

Wrecking Crew:

Wrecker/Piledriver/Thunderball/Bulldozer

Cap's WWII Baddies:

Red Skull (Mask Version)/Arnim Zola/Baron Zemo/Baron Strucker

Maybe but we didn't exactly get comic-accurate Iron Monger or Whiplash

What waves do you all think these are going to be? Not sure what it means in terms of DST's schedule (if anything), but Hasbro is going to be releasing their Thor line in March and their Cap line in May.

With the recent trend of TRU getting entirely different waves from comic-shops, might we be seeing these only at TRU? Or completely unique waves, so they can pump more of these out (so we aren't left with a Final Battle Whiplash type situation )?

Do you think they'll be more retrained in how many they pump out as these are relatively unproven properties compared to IM2, which was all but guaranteed to be a success based on the first one?

These movies aren't exactly hurting in terms of potential mates:

Thor (Armor)

Thor (Human)

Loki (Armor)

Loki (Dress Robes)

Odin

Destroyer

Fandral

Hogun

Volstagg

Sif

Heimdall

Ymir

Frost Giant Army Builder

Frigga

SHIELD Agent Coulson

Jane Foster

Jane Foster's friends (Kat Dennings/Stellan Skarsgard's characters)

Steve Rogers (Pre-Serum)

Steve Rogers (Post-Serum)

Captain America (USO Outfit)

Captain America (Battle-Ready Outfit)

Johann Schmidt

Red Skull

Arnim Zola

HYDRA Grunt Army Builder

Bucky

Peggy Carter

General Chester Phillips

Abraham Erskine

Young Howard Stark

Dum Dum Dugan

Other Howling Commandos (we don't know who they'll be yet)

Wow, I didn't realize quite how long that list'd be until I typed it out

so no word on marvel continuing past wave 37. I'm not worried about the comic book store waves, just wondering when we can see wave 38.

Something to keep in mind.... Hasbro is releasing Thor movie toys in March and Captain America movie toys in May.

Not sure where they'd be # wise but next year we're all but guaranteed to get at least three movie-themed waves (one for Thor, one for X-Men: First Class, and one for Captain America: The First Avenger)

And accompanying TRU waves

How about

Balder / Volstagg / Hogun / Fandral

Wave 35:

Mark IV / Whiplash

Mark V / War Machine

Pepper Potts / Hammer Drone

Variant Happy Hogan / Hammer Drone

TRU Wave:

Mark IV / Whiplash (Same as Wave 35)

Mark V / War Machine (Same as Wave 35)

Mark I with Tuxedo Tony Stark inside / Senate Hearing Tony Stark

Mark II with Jim Rhodes inside / Black Widow

Army Builder Dump:

Justin Hammer

Battle Damaged Hammer Drone

Tactical Assault Drone

Sea Assault Drone

Ground Assault Drone

Air Assault Drone

C2E2 Exclusive:

Stark Expo Tony Stark / Stark Expo Black Widow

Borders Exclusive:

Mark IV with Sunglasses Tony Stark inside / Battle Damaged Whiplash

AFX "Battle Tactics" Exclusive Boxset

Racetrack Tony Stark / Nick Fury / Battle Damaged War Machine / Battle Damaged Mark VI

And there will be, at some point, at least one more release with a non-Battle Damaged Mark VI included

Plus there's a huge budget THOR movie coming out next May so we should expect a glut of Thor-related product

Avengers:

Updated Hawkeye

Falcon

Baron Zemo

Whirlwind

Brotherhood:

Updated Scarlet Witch

Green Quicksilver

Toad

Mastermind

Brotherhood:

Updated Mystique

Pyro

Avalanche

Blob

Iron Man:

Updated Stealth Armor Iron Man

Blacklash

Blizzard

Melter

Spider-Man:

Updated Mary Jane

Updated Rhino

Man-Spider

Lizard

Thor:

Updated Classic Thor

Balder

Enchantress

Executioner

Thor:

Odin

Destroyer

Ulik

Sif

Thor:

Updated Classic Loki

Fandral

Hogun

Volstagg

Wrecking Crew:

Wrecker

Bulldozer

Piledriver

Thunderball

X-Men:

Updated Classic Colossus

Updated Nightcrawler

Sunfire

Banshee

The TRU Mark _ / War Machine 2 pack wasn't marked with an "exclusive" stamp, so it stands to reason that it's the same Mark VI mate that come with War Machine in the specialty wave.

The breakdown of IM2 mates as we know it looks to be:

Wave 35:

Mark IV Iron Man / Whiplash

Mark VI Iron Man / War Machine

Pepper Potts / Hammer Drone

Happy Hogan / Hammer Drone

TRU Wave:

Mark IV Iron Man / Whiplash

Mark VI Iron Man / War Machine

James Rhodes in Mark II Armor / Black Widow

Mark I Iron Man / Senate Hearing Tony Stark

Army Builder Dump:

Justin Hammer

Air Assault Drone

Land Assault Drone

Sea Assault Drone

Tactical Assault Drone

Battle Damaged Hammer Drone

AFX Battle Tactics Exclusive:

Battle Damaged Mark VI Iron Man / Battle Damaged War Machine / Nick Fury / Racecar Tony Stark

C2E2 Stark Expo Exclusive:

Stark Expo Tony Stark / Stark Expo Black Widow

So now the question becomes... where/when/how are we getting a Mark V mate? No way are we simply not getting one of the three new featured armors Tony wears in the movie.

Mark IV comes w/ Whiplash in both the TRU wave and Wave 35

Either Mark V/Silver Centurion or Mark VI/Triangle Chest-Piece comes with War Machine. (Probably Mark VI, as that's the one that comes battle damaged with the battle damaged War Machine/Nick Fury/Racetrack Tony Stark box set)

The other of the two will presumably come later

Mark IV is the one we know of in Wave 35. It's fairly similar to Mark III.
