If they did another wave of these this is whom I decided would be the best line up.

Namor - Green speedos, if they could include the bits for the black outfit that would be amazing but as this would require an entire second lower torso I can understand why it wouldn't happen.

Invisible Woman/Girl - Done as a translucent figure including 3 or 4 different hair pieces that could be used to represent Sue from different periods in FF history.

This could probably be the star of the wave as far as multiple purchases go because customisers love translucent figs and flesh body parts which this set would have in abandon

Black Panther - Done as Kirby drew him back in the day but include a civilian head, as well as gold wrist things and belt with a cape if you want to go modern

Human Torch - Basic translucent figure but with lots of flame accessories that can be attached to the body, keep the figure generic enough so it could be FF torch, Invaders torch or Toro

again a mostly black figure and a (red) translucent could appeal to customisers increasing multiple sales

Magneto - We have seen Magneto done well in the regular line so redone with a best of paint job should be a winner.

Wolverine - Brown and tan, almost the opposite to magneto we have seen this version of wolvie a few times in the regular line but each has fallen short for whatever reason so if they could nail it this would be a solid figure.

Isn't it the case that you can put the name Wolverine on any old thing and sales increase? also Magneto holds his on in public recognition so I'm sure they would do fine.

Captain Britain - Early Excalibur uniform, CB should be done as a bulky figure but with the same uniform on the under body to give the display option, as cap has been drawn pretty big at times.

Ghost Rider - Classic black leather chains and flaming skull look with maybe a couple of flame accessories.

Captain Britain actually has a fair few media appearances (Usually when something needs to be shown as a threat to the entire world, Brian will be looking concerned in front of Big Ben) also he may appeal to foreign markets, Ghost rider has had a couple of movies and has a very high visual appeal.

Polar boy: I couldn't agree more with your choices, except cap Britain, I agree a nicely done cap b would be great, just don't think he's popular enough it fit into a best of wave.

If they put a black panther and ha or together for both looks, I would end up with three of those packs easily.

All around great choices

Minimates Menagerie is a scalper. On more than one occasion, he's bought up a large chunk of TRU's online stock of exclusives, and then he turns around and charges a premium for them on his eBay store. Scalpers in general just suck, but Menagerie has a negative reputation here due to being the most prominent Minimate scalper.

Thank you, this makes perfect sense, and sums it up well.

I've always seen his ebay auctions, just didn't know his methods. Think I'll steer clear.

Stripping the paint never works, because the plastic is molded in the color.

What I would recommend is picking up a primer. You can either get get a paint on primer or a spray primer, both have pros and cons, and citadel provides both.

Paint differences (your paint will have these three options on them, it will let you know what you have - or need)

Wash - this is to fill in and darken regular paint, it gives it that extra layer, or fills in to show depth (would be hard to utilize on mates I would think)

Dry - this paint is very hard to work with, as it is very think, used for accents basically

Base/layer - this is what you need. This will cover nicely, and it will work best in tandem with a primer

I hope this helps, if I had more time I would bust out my paints, and create a tutorial, I used to be huge into customizing marvel universe figures, and learned a lot by trial and error with citadel paints.

Post the picture, or I'll mail the giant box of stuff I have for you to Menagerie instead.

Incentive?

Can someone elaborate on menagerie, I assume you're all talking about the ebay seller?

What's the story there? I've never bought from him? But I assume there is a reason I've seen the seller mentioned many times throughout this site?

I'm a noob

He's expensive lol. That and he buys everything lmao.

I don't get it though, when you say he buys everything? I guess that's what I am missing? Who does he buy it from?

Just read fraction's hawkeye and loved it hence the desire for these characters

Here's a deadpool i recently threw together using parts from the d eadpools assemble boxset and a few other fodder bits. This is the only "Redpool" in my collection so far.

Did the same thing, mine is deadpool assemble/bloodshot

There have been two. The newer one?

Yeah, newer one, I was thinking something like black widow torso and legs from cap winter soldier, and the hair from tomb raider, shaved down and painted?!?

Any one have a better hairsculpt/outfit for the domino that came in the four pack?

Thanks! I knew grabbing all those Expendables sets at TRU would start to pay off eventually (Gambit's hands came from there along with Morph's jacket)

Gambit recipe please!

All you need is the staff, Luke has them.

My LCs ( and I say that lightly as the nearest comic shop that sells minis is an hour away), got easily 10 plus sets of the brotherhood wave

Cobbled this deadpool together, as I don't foresee myself getting a 28 anytime soon.

Thoughts welcomed

Cobbled together parts from deadpool assemble and the tru valiant pack, bloodshot.

Wow, that is a haul

I need the aou set, sounds like the easiest and most cost effective way to nab a single set is probably through Luke's?

My case arrived today too. Thanks Luke!

Very cool

I don't buy a lot of vintage, so I haven't made the trip yet

Oh boy, it's vintage/new evenly I would say. If you buy modern you will be just as impressed.

I'm in Indianapolis, right by Broadripple.

Having moved from New England, I find the winters here are actually not that bad. Obviously, nothing like Florida, but still...

Nice, I may move back, might not be until next January/fen, but I still have a ton of family there. Have you ever been to Kokomo toys? Bout 30-45 north of indy, well worth the trip, best toy store I've ever been in.

Dang, nail meet hammer.

Glad I could contribute! I better see finished pics

We are packing orders and printing sticker kits like CRAZY here. Here are the open collared uniforms that were requested. I am curious - which characters will you guys be using these for?

Top row

Morph?!? Shadowcat

Bottom row

Bishop. Shard.

That's not how forums work.

For every other toy line I've collected there have been forums that have a catch all. I will try to post where appropriate.

I'm surprised there isn't just a general catch all thread though, one thread easily quantifies everything marvel mates.

Hey, don't mean to sound like a broken record, just unsure where to post thing like this:

Just got cap2 winter soldier pack...it's money, that winter soldier is ready to take on an army, very nice mate

Amazon is very good with buyer protection. Return it!

Eh, that's a whole hassle for one small hairpiece.

Think I'll keep it

That's cool, wonder if we will see a daredevil box set?

Kingpin, daredevil, foggy, and the smoking redhead
