My best case scenario would be getting regular looks for characters with white suits as add-on parts.
I would be ok with this. I am not a fan of "one-off" costumes and I prefer iconic looks.
My biggest problem with the MCU is the minor variations in looks between films. I stopped buying some figures, even of my favorite characters (like Dr. Strange) because there were no discernible differences between them, other than a slightly different face.
I'd have to be really convinced to buy these figures if this is the only appearance of the quantum-zone costumes.

Only if Red Guardian can have an alt female chest block too (and alt female head) too!
!
I do think Red Guardian is likely eventually - he's managed to have both Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe figures made already - but since he's a character that really is only going to be made for the recognizable design/costume and representation status as a notable flag hero rather than for any character - I'd really hate to get him and have DST miss the opportunity to get one more classic Defenders member out there.
Especially since otherwise her chances are zilch (despite being the most long-lived and notable of the Red Guardians).
now I want a gold Valkyrie

It was my understanding that likenesses aren’t legally an issue since the portraits are noseless caricatures protected by parody law. Technically, DST could offer a box of “comic book creators” that just happen to look like Stan and Jack and Joe and Jerry. They simply wouldn’t be able to use their names.
That said, any attempt to circumvent a proper license to produce anything based on Stan “The Man” Lee (or any other beloved comic book creator) would likely be met with litigation from more than one corner. It simply wouldn’t be worth the effort.
Get the license. Tie it to a charity. DST can write it off and those of us who want one can get an official Stan Lee Minimate.
Even if legally allowed and litigation avoided, I'm sure Marvel would be pissed off enough to pull all contracts. Legality is not always the litmus test of good business relations. One should also consider the politics of the relationship.
That being said, IMHO, as much as I appreciate Stan Lee, I am not exactly clamoring for a minimate.

Hepzibah has a cool look. Or had, before she was made to look more like a cat.

I'd love to see a super natural wave with brother voodoo, son of Satan, Wiccan, satana, modern doctor strange, a new Johnny blaze ghost rider and blackheart
I second all of this

Given all the hype around the Captain Marvel movie, I this it would be the perfect opportunity to release a Binary figure.

Gotta say, I know it stirred a lot of controversy when first shown but I really love these green costumes. They are very sleek and the accessories are awesome.
Also, they make better looking Green Lanterns than the Green Lanterns Corp. I need a little green army!

Plant Master???
I was going for The Gardener. It was either him or the In-Betweener. I couldn’t think of a cheap pun for the other guy.

Got my Mahkizmo figure with Reed Richards backdrop yesterday. Excellent work!
That hint, though... way to "sow some seeds" of intrigue. "Planting" any other hints soon?

accidentally typed in Walmart instead of Walgreens today to search for mates. They seem to have links to a lot of older sets, in case anyone is looking to fill holes in their collection. If anyone is interested

It's The Stranger. He's a cosmic character from the 1960's

That Huntress is REALLY clever! I never would have thought of that but I'm totally stealing it. I'd suggest getting the Marvel Girl 'mate with the pointy mask and painting to get her a little more accurate, but otherwise she looks terrific.
Thanks! I thought of using Marvel Girl and then realized that I am terrible at painting ?

Can i ask about the gold applied to Black Cat's chest? Was it a pen? Any recommendations on that front?
I picked up a gold paint pen at Michael’s a while ago. It is a thin pen with a black case. It is old so the label rubbed off. Sorry.

Nice try on Meteorite. That costume is really hard to resemble
Thanks!

Finally got wave 76 and worked on some quick customs:
Aleta Ogord and Meteorite (which, I admit, is a stretch)
and two DC mates we will likely never see: Huntress and Orphan
anyone have any suggestions about changing the orientation of these pics? the originals are not sideways.

Went to three Walgreens (all both within about 2 blocks of each other) during their restock times and watch the staff fill the pegs with...Wave 8
They all said that they did not have any others in stock.
And for those of you who stated that your stores have 2 pegs (one for animated and one for comic waves), I have never seen this. All of the Walgreens that I have visited in NY seem to display 4 mates at a time on one peg. It varies between movie and comic waves.

I realized that I sent out all of the Night Thrasher customs without his skateboard! I will include that with future shipments.
My next custom is another New Warrior from the same era as my Night Crawler, but it isn't Speedball.
Whichever 'mate you do, please do it "justice."
I'd be cool with an updated Firestar, too.

Yeah, I'm kind of over trying to collect these. There are definitely some cool ones that have come out, and I appreciate getting characters that haven't come out in the mainline, but showing up to the different stores in my area and seeing:
1. Peg with two Roadworn Thor/Civilian Loki packs
2. Peg of Wave 7
3. Peg of Black Panther Wave
4. Don't Carry Minimates At All
It's, needless to say, been pretty frustrating. I'd really only been collecting the main Marvel line before these started coming out, so I'm probably just going to go back to sticking with that.
I've had the same experience. There are 3 Walgreen's/Duane Reade stores within 3 blocks of my office. One has the latest Wasp sets, one has Animated Spider Man/Iron Fist, and the last is devoid of minimates.

I will co-sign any reason for a Binary figure. X-Men 171 was the first comic I ever bought. Seeing Carol punch Rogue in orbit (and having no idea what was going on) solidified the character for me. Unique and visually stunning. Totally neglected by the toy market.
