Those two I'm excited to see!

It's crazy how the Invincible 4-pack has shot up in value. That and the releases for the Sergio Leone films are pretty glaring omissions in my collection.

Except that Wolverine didn't wear the Fang costume in these comics . . . HOWEVER, Uncanny #162 (which is the issue where the infected Wolverine comes from) does feature Fang's death at the hands of the Brood aliens. So, if it were to go down that way then the box would need to advertise Fang proper and come packaged with an additional, swappable Wolverine head. Personally, I'd just prefer the infected Wolverine because a.) it's a Cockrum design, so automatically striking and interesting enough to warrant the additional Wolverine variant b.) it'll have funky pearlescent pants which are always neat c.) I'd hate to only have two Imperial Guard members and its Gladiator and . . . Fang . . . Unless we're getting Starbolt, Hussar, Manta, Earthquake, Oracle, Warstar etc. I'd rather just have Gladiator.

My only grail is Silver Age Angel.

Cockrum Brood Wolverine is markedly different from Silvestri Brood Wolverine.

They look amazing! spectacular! ultimate! web of! I anticipate Lady Ock being the sleeper hit. She looks gorgeous.

Has anybody else considered the possibility of alt-parts to create Spider-Carnage?

Carrion is a clone of Miles Warren, alias the Jackal. So, yes, we've received a non-animated version of the Jackal, in as much as every Scarlet Spider variant counts as a Peter Parker Spider-Man.

So are they all flat colored figures? Or metallic?

As if you don't already have ample amounts of the previous Lockjaw minimate. Probably.

I think one of them has to be Doc Ock. He's the only "villain we've gotten before" with much to do with this arc. Also this: Likely Doc Ock in the white suit with Kaine, Jackal, and Ben Reilly Spider-Man. Not sure who the final "villain we haven't gotten before" might be. Spidercide works. I feel like there are other characters who might be more interesting, however. Stunner, Doc Ock's girlfriend? Judas Traveller?

Absolutely not Triton. He's my favorite. May be a tad compromising, but Lockjaw could be a pack-in figure. Size could be achieved, but perhaps not mobility.

Had this thought late last night: In 2012 we received two sets of 4-packs meant to combine and form the core of Alpha Flight. On the back of each box was a solicitation image of the opposite set indicating "Coming Soon!" or "Also Available!" Even so much as recently we had the two Power Rangers box sets which were intended to be united to form a single front packaging image. Could the same model be applied to this way of releasing minimates? Plan two "waves" meant to be released within a short window of one another and intended to interact directly with each other? Example: A tandem release of Fantastic Four / Inhumans featuring two members of the Four and three members of the Inhuman Royal Family each. It could be done based on completing teams, commemorating storylines, etc.

Ah well. A boy can dream. If nothing else, I may've facilitated the beginning of a new Warlock fan!

Friday can't come soon enough!
