nate_studio Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I know some disagree, but I do feel like long term collectors have less to look forward to than newer fans Isn't that literally always going to be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Here's a sortable MU checklist, with a separate visual guide by year. Actually very well done. Rivals the Database in terms of sortability. But I don't have time to count. http://www.itsalltru.../?page_id=10987 Roughly 26 names on the MU list that are not currently (or currently announced) minimates. I will let you crunch the hard numbers Miry I will say I just went with names, not costume variants. I consider Winter Soldier and commander Rogers unique in my count and included the MU 12 incehers as valid since we have mates of: Galactus Goliath Frost Giant Sentinel I love minimates. I am a completist with them. MU is a way to get characters that are (were) not out as MM. I only get one version (or I try) of each character I AM INTERESTED IN in MU form. Minimates are definitely the best and I would probably stop other scales if we got more unique characters sooner. But I do not intend to stop:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 However, both lines neglect the Brotherhood of Mutants equally so I mega-loathe both Hasbro and DST for that. :tongue: It is truly, an injustice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Okay, I counted Characters-by-Secret ID's, Ronin and Hawkeye were both Clint Barton, Bucky, Bucky Cap, and Winter Soldier all count as the same character. This is the same way I counted characters for Minimates, so the counts are equivalent. So by that count MU has 127 unique Earth-616 characters, and 8 alternate reality characters. The 616 count could technically be lower, since Wasp and H.E.R.B.I.E. have only appeared in that line as unmoving accessories. That's 91 more minimate characters just from the 616. 39 more alternate reality characters. So by raw count, it's not even close. But, I think the recent for the perceived inequity in their favor is that some of the characters who are unique to the MU line also just happen to have been on long time minimate collectors' lists of character's we'd like minimates for- Kang, Falcon, Winter Soldier, the Wrecking Crew, the Enchantress, Nighthawk, more Inhumans. So it's just pure jealousy on our part for a hand full of characters that they have that we really want. Overall, Minimates are still kicking their butts. Badly.

Lobsterman Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Overall, Minimates are still kicking their butts. Badly. And I will be very surprised if Hasbro keeps MU around long enough to catch up. It would just now be the ten-year anniversary of Legends, and they took a three-year hiatus for that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would also be interesting to see the ratio of new characters to rehashes. I'd imagine over time the ratio is going to get smaller. Might make more sense to break it down by year to see if MU is following a similar trend as Minimates. Anyway, I'm just wondering out loud here, I'm not actually going to take the time to do this, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 If the new Marvel vs Capcom hit TRU this week, I can only hope that these will also come out soon. Has anyone heard about these being released anytime in the near future? I need me some Kingpin and Punisher!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazwinski Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I want Moonstar/ Magma. We still haven't seen any pics since the Toy Fair have we? I kinda want to see if Magma will look different ( translucent with maybe veins/swirls of red?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Zach's production sample pics are on page 10. You should be pleased with Magma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I can't wait to get that Punisher and Kingpin. Yes, the mutant characters look rad and I can't wait to get them, but I can't wait to get that Punisher and Kingpin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsMarvel fan Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 pretty sure the dst face book page has more photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MST3KFan Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 So much want in this wave, hopefully it'll be abundant. A new improved Kingpin, a classic Punisher, and more members to 90s X-Force (Just need a 90s Warpath really to be complete) and the the last of the New Mutants! So...much...want.

MST3KFan Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I thought x-factor angel tru warpath was the 90s version? Nope. That was supposed to be modern Warpath right before he became part of the modern X-Force with his black/gray duds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 90's Warpath had a lot more fringe, and occasionally some oversized shoulder pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 would be awesome if when they get to a 90s X-Force Warpath, he has a Thunderbird variant. Can't see him getting a redo otherwise. perfect opportunity imo . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
