Mirymate Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Oh, we're very, very curious to know what you're planning. Hope we see it sooner rather than later. And now that you had to go and prove you're listening... For the love of Pete, Make KANG already!!! Ahem. I feel better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has my two-post 'Make Grizzly!' campaign finally paid off? I'm surprised DSTChuck hasn't slated more goofy Spidey villains before now. The only reason I can think of is that Grizzly would need a fully-sculpted, bulked-up body. But where's the Kangaroo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 But where's the Kangaroo? Classic Kangeroo would be easy enough. His sucessor... well... He might need some sculpting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Haha. I was blinded by the sheer awesomeness of Tapeworm that I didn't recognize that he's DC. But I don't know about that successor Kangaroo. He kinda scares me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 And now that you had to go and prove you're listening... Careful, Zach. We're like that awkward girl you ask to dance at the party because you feel bad she's just standing there, and then she starts calling every day and telling her stuffed animals all about you and takes secret pictures of you to put up around her vanity and carves TOGETHER 4-EVER!!!!!!! on the hood of your car.

stack32 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 2) Not sure, but if we are strictly talking core Marvel 616 characters, it's possible. Close, but possible. I think the biggest hurdle right now is that MU has produced some of the characters that have been in Minimate Wish lists for some time... People are seeing these characters being done in MU and feeling like we are missing out while getting more Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man variations. I think this is exactly right. Minimates certainly has the largest representation of the Marvel universe, even if you were only to count current style and the not the earlier waves. But MU has done a surprisingly good job at incorporating a wide variety of characters, especially ones (Wrecking Crew, Constrictor, Darkhawk) that have not been made before. I think this makes it feel like Marvel minimates are falling behind even if it isn't true when you look at the selection of characters.

Ivan Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 ... 2. AREN'T we the biggest representation of the Marvel Universe? Has Marvel Universe overtaken us already in terms of the number of different characters? I don't think Legends has, and I'm not counting Heroclix, that's for sure. I should probably do this research myself, but if someone's already done it, let me know. I can't speak to MU, but here's a DB extract of Minimate characters for your new research project. (Spoiler tags used to protect the innocent.) Abomination Absorbing Man Adam Warlock Agent Coulson Agent Zero AIM Soldier Apocalypse Archangel Ares Arnim Zola Asgardian Guard Atlantean Soldier Azazel Balder the Brave Beast Ben Reilly Beta Ray Bill Betty Ross Beyonder Bishop Black Bolt Black Cat Black Panther Black Widow Blackheart Blade Blink Bruce Banner Bucky Bullseye Cable Cannonball Captain America Captain Britain Captain Marvel Carnage Chameleon Cloak Colossus Crimson Dynamo Crossbones Cyclops Dagger Daredevil Deadpool Destroyer Domino Doombot Dr. Doom Dr. Octopus Dr. Strange Dracula Drax the Destroyer Dreadnought Dum Dum Dugan Eddie Brock Electro Elektra Emil Blonsky Emma Frost Fantomex Feral Firestar Frost Giant Gabe Jones Galactus Gambit Gamora General Ross Ghost Rider Green Goblin Gwen Stacy Hammer Drone Hand Ninja Hank Pym Happy Hogan Havok Hawkeye Hellfire Club Guard Hercules Hobgoblin Howard Stark Hulk Human Torch Hydra Agent Hydroman Iceman Iron Fist Iron Man Iron Monger Iron Patriot Jane Foster Janet Van Dyne Jean Grey/Phoenix Jewel Jigsaw Jim Rhodes Johnny Blaze Jubilee Juggernaut Justin Hammer Karma Kingpin Kitty Pryde Klaw Kraven Kree Soldier Lady Deathstrike Lady Sif Lizard Lockjaw Loki Luke Cage Magik Magneto Mandarin Mariko Mary Jane Meggan Menace Mephisto Mephistopheles Mob Thug Mole Man Molecule Man Moon Knight Moonstone Morph Mr. Fantastic Mr. Negative Mr. Sinister Ms. Marvel Multiple Man Mysterio Mystique Namor Nemesis New Goblin Nick Fury Nightcrawler Nimrod Nitro Norman Osborn Nova Odin Omega Red Peggy Carter Penance Pepper Potts Peter Parker Photon Polaris Power Man Professor Xavier Psylocke Punisher Quicksilver Rachel Grey/Summers Radioactive Man Raza Red Skull Rhino Rogue Ronin Roxanne S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Sabretooth Sandman Scarlet Witch Scorpion Selene Selvig Sentinel Sentry Shatterstar Shaw She-Hulk Shocker Silver Fox Silver Sable Silver Surfer Ska'ar Skrull Spider-Carnage Spider-Girl Spider-Man Spider-Woman Spymaster Stilt Man Stone Man Storm Sunfire Sunspot Super Skrull Susan Storm Richards Swordsman Tarantula Taskmaster Thanos The Blob The Caretaker The Leader Thing Thor Thunderbird Titanium Man Tony Stark U.S. Agent Ultron Union Jack Valkyrie Vault Guard Venom Vision Volstagg Vulture War Machine Warlock Warpath Whiplash White Tiger Wolfsbane Wolverine Wonder Man X-23 The rowcount is 225. There's a bit of duplication because of things like Tony Stark and Iron Man being listed separately and potential errors in my Marvel knowledge. It also includes scheduled but unreleased figures (like Arnim Zola). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Not to argue with Ivan, but by my count we have (or will have) 192 different 616 characters represented in minimate form, some with multiple aliases (I count Brock-Venom and Anti-Venom as one character on my list) as well as multiple costumes or redos. 46 alternate Universe characters, including Zombies, Ultimates, and guys like Miguel O'Hare. And 65 characters from the Marvel Movies. Add those up however you like, or just go with Ivan's numbers. He, after all, is the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Nah, Miry's the man. All I did was run a simple SELECT query out of the database. I barely took enough time to sort it alphabetically. I'd trust your comic knowledge more than the myriad assumptions scattered throughout my database tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If we got the Serpent Society, I'd be hisssssterical. No kidding, Death Adder. Black Mamba. Cobra. Rattler. Bushmaster. Asp. Diamondback. Sidewinder. Anaconda. Cottonmouth. Obscure villain heaven and that's just the first lineup! All those guys had appeared other places before, the subsequent members were created just for the team, making them even MORE obscure!! Oh the mind boggles... As soon as DST finished all the members of the Masters of Evil, versions 1-4 (see I'm being reasonable), then that's the villain team they can start working on... Okay after finishing the classic Frightful Four (would you guys really be steamed if I wanted Sandman in his Wizard designed FrF Kirby-tastic costume?) and the Brotherhood/Factor Three/Freedom Force gang.

murderofcrows Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 here is a little data crunching straight from the data base (Ivan that is a great site) this is the break down of characters that have over 10 minimates made of them... guess who is Chucks favorite?

highassroller Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Please new characters. Shocker and the multiple Sandmen look great, an update would be a waste of a character slot when there are so many unreleased Spiderman Villains. Mobius is in no way a second string character and could be a really simple mate to make with existing sculpts. Molten man and Tombstone could also be easy without new parts, but I remember Chuck saying that sculpts were not the issue for cost, but tampos kill their bottom line. if they do bring on the sculpted peices, let it be spent on Rhino so he can actually look in scale in comparison to the rest of the Spidey villains.

Lobsterman Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 a mix of new versions of major characters (which people DO want, and which the line DOES need, both for sales and to match what's come since) He could just be talking about a stylistic update (i.e., more detailed tampos), but there aren't a lot of major Spidey characters that haven't been done in the "new" style. I'd guess this phrase does point to a bulked-up Rhino — a major villain who hasn't been redone recently. Otherwise, a Kraven with a sculpted lion vest would be nice.
