Jeff Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looks like Marvel's pegged a new Fantastic Four team under the creative talent of Mike Allred. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2012/08/09/fantastic-four-ff-marvel-now-matt-fraction-michael-allred-mark-bagley/ I'm already feeling these will show up as minimates in the near/potentially SDCC exclusive/fan wave-if-they-do-that-again-but-I-wonder-since-no-one-seemed-too-happy-with-the-winners picked future. Why does Ant-Man look like Orion? Love the costumes though. Would make for a colorful set of mates. I'd buy......even if the comic turns out to be a stinker. I doubt it.

MINI_MYTE Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Those 2 FF teams would look amazing in minimate form. All DST would need to do is pop a female minimate on head on a pre-existing Thing body and voila... instant Miss Thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Agreed. And they just did Ant Man. This set is a win-win. Make it happen DST. Make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Don't we already have that white FF set? Aside from Susan? Though Medusa would rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I like the look of that FF and would love to see them in Minimate form. I know Mystery Man will be pleased with this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I would snap up the FF set, just for Medusa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I would snap up the FF set, just for Medusa. But you'd be so, so sad you didn't have Karnak, Triton, and Gorgon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I like the look of that FF and would love to see them in Minimate form. I know Mystery Man will be pleased with this news. You betcha! I think you're the only one from FB that knows any of my connection will Allred, so yeah. This is going to be THE BEE'S KNEES. The new Fantastic Four will also be great, I'm feeling. I cannot wait for these titles to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMiracle Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I wouldn't mind a set with Susan, Reed, Thing, and Johnny. I want no part of that other set with She Hulk, Ant-Man, Medusa and a little girl Thing (WTF?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Love Mike Allred. Sorta kinda dig those "FF" designs, but wouldn't have much use for the black and white Fantastic Four getups. Well past time for an Inhumans box set, though. Black Bolt and his puppy are oh, so lonely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'd rather finish off the other FF set with Doom and powered-down Sue than start a new black & white uniformed team. The Allred team could make for interesting mates, but they're no X-Statix or anything. And I really hope these books will be from the Fraction that writes Iron Man, not the one who wrote Fear Itself -- after Hickman's run my expectations for those titles is pretty (probably too) high...

Valo487 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 You guys want these? Ok... I feel like I could make my own Miss-Thing just by popping a Jewell head on a Thing body, and I'd rather have Medusa in her Inhumans garb before this. And I'm pretty sure we already have the Fantastic Four in white, the tiny aesthetic changes don't really justify a whole new set in my mind. I'd rather have a non-invisible Sue and White Dr. Doom personally if we revisit these looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Kind of annoying that they change up the Future Foundation comics after we got Minimates and Marvel Universe figures that are now out of date, isn't it? That's why I *HATE* when they make toys out of new costumes. Hope the Fracton/Allred book is good. Personally, these would be rather far down my list of Allred-based 'mates, well behind X-Statix and Madman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I *HATE* when they make toys out of new costumes. They'd actually already changed them a bit back when Johnny returned, but not being "up to date" doesn't really bother me at all with mates, I mean many of the alt-costumes released are already years/decades out of date when we get them. I'd still love a Commander Rogers or FF Doom, even if they are so totally last year :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I usually enjoy having some new costumes in the mix for minimates, but I haven't seen anything I like from Now! so far. It's killing my interest in comics and merchandise, so I hope DST doesn't jump on the new looks too quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Don't forget Reed died too- and Doom (at the same time) and Thing- then they rescued him from heaven with the help of Jack Kirby, and wait-------Sue hasn't died yet......right?

MiniFiend UK Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Seeing as most of these pics will be Marvel Now related I will put them here. Ok Zach time to get those DST designers a designing as there are lot of new costumes coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) They'll get made. I'm convinced that's why Marvel does so many costume changes- not to pull in new readers but to sell toys....and when the 'house of ideas' goes bone dry, there's always ninja astronaut spider-man and his underwater playset. Hmmm...now there's a minimate custom I'd like to see. Edited September 4, 2012 by Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
