watchnerd Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Okay, I'm going to modify undeadpool's guess to say: Thing Silver Surfer /Annihilus Firelord/Airwalker Morbius/Spiderman Blade Hulk/Absorbing Man (fear itself versions) Edited September 4, 2012 by watchnerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Okay, I'm going to modify undeadpool's guess to say: Thing Silver Surfer /Annihilus Firelord/Airwalker Morbius/Spiderman Blade Hulk/Absorbing Man (fear itself versions) Well,we had a blade and he and morbius are monster themed characters so they could fit into a ghost rider wave.But if morbius is in this wave,i'm a happy man!

Onyx_6 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Aside from a two-pack partner swap and a single character selection error, one of you has pretty much nailed it. Pretty psyched for this wave. Psycho Man as the error? Maybe? With Thing. And Franklin with Annihilus. For the swap. Missing Heralds. And a Mighty/Worthy pack. FTW? I like it!

elhonez Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My more realisic one is: Thing/Annihilus Fully flamed on Human Torch/Silver Surfer Firelord/Airwalker Worthy Hulk/a fairly high profile Mighty character (maybe Red She-Hulk) I think Stegron's the guy who nailed it here. So... with a partner swap & one sub: Thing/Annihilus Air Walker/ Torch Firelord/Surfer Worthy Hulk / Mighty Somebody ...just got to thinking that the Heralds poll "losers" might be a better sell if they were split & paired with A-listers.

Kostisfire Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Stegron's is spot on but I doubt DST would waste a spot with a torch. So he has a different head and torso from the other one? They could be included as accessories in the wave 48 pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That swap could make sense actually. Of course, if (and it's still a big "if"!) I did get it right I kind of cheated by having 2 guesses in one go!

bigvis497 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Fear Itself is one "look/team" I would not mind at all if DST did not complete. So many other things I would much rather see then Fear Itself. Edited September 5, 2012 by bigvis497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 This image is the reason people have been mentioning Morbius Doing some character research... can anyone identify some of the other partially shown characters? In the very lower right-hand corner is Starfox's hips/waist/upper legs. But nobody wants a Starfox minimate, do they? I'm always up for a Minimate of an unreleased Avenger.

So many other things I would much rather see then Fear Itself. I second that. While I too agree that there are lots of figures much higher on my wishlist than Fear Itself 'mates, I actually really like the designs so would still be happy to see more worthy. Although not their iconic looks, I very much doubt we would have a Grey Gargoyle or a Sin of any sort without FI and if we also got an attuma and/or titania out of it that would be a big bonus for me.

Nessex Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm with Stegron on this one. There are teams/looks i would like to see finished first - but I really wouldn't mind if they fleshed out the Fear Itself sets a bit more. Especially if the characters selected can double as standard 616 versions with little or no part-swapping. Red She-Hulk could act as both if a second set of arms were included. And i'd love to see Attuma finally get made if they include some non-neon parts with him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Well, if they're going to do more FI figures, the time is now before that book is completely forgotten. My gut tells me it's not happening, unless it's to make more variants of the core guys. I'm hoping that Zach's crossover teaser is referring to Annihilation somehow, and that we'll be getting Annihilus with... and I know I shouldn't get my hopes up... Quasar!

watchnerd Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Quasar! Which one, girl or boy Quasar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 There were more then two Quasars. Wendell Vaughan and Phyla-Vell the most notable. Richard Rider was briefly Quasar and Nuetron from the Shi'ar Imperial Guard was once called Quasar. I would love to see a Wendell Vaughan minimate, off the top of my head, I don't think he's ever been made in any toy form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 So - with the new Stange Tales box set announced, perhaps we can narrow down the possibilities for this wave. Mr Fantastic Human Torch Thing Dragon Man Zach has confirmed no DM Blastaar Appearing in Wave 48 Silver Surfer Werewolf by Night Strange Tales Box Set Morbius Strange Tales Box Set FA Blade Strange Tales Box Set Galactus Fire Lord Starfox Aside from a two-pack partner swap and a single character selection error, one of you has pretty much nailed it. Pretty psyched for this wave. With this in mind - the line-ups previously mentioned that could suit are: Undeadpool: Thing/Annihilus Firelord/Airwalker Morbius/Spiderman Hulk/Absorbing Man (fear itself versions) Kostfire: Firelord/airwalker Annihilus/thing Msmarvel(mighty)/attuma(worthy) Silver surfer/Franklin with herbie stegron01: Thing/Annihilus Franklin with Herbie/Medusa Firelord/Airwalker (a certainty I think) 2 Mighty or Worthy (maybe Attuma to fit the FF theme and Absorbing man) or Thing/Annihilus Fully flamed on Human Torch/Silver Surfer Firelord/Airwalker Worthy Hulk/a fairly high profile Mighty character (maybe Red She-Hulk) MrClean: Black Panther (Classic)/Namor(Modern X-Man) - member/associate Lyja/Annihilus - member(?)/villain Firelord/Airwalker- Heralds 4-pack Ben Grimm/Titania - Secret Wars 4-pack Taking all bets!

undeadpool Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) based on the reveal today id change my guess to: FireLord/AirWalker Thing/Annihilus Spiderman/Franklin Richards Worthy/Mighty (i cant narrow it down to any 2) Edit...based on Zachs comments (this is assuming i guessed right) ok...so one character was wrong (my guess is Morbius) and the partner swap...hmm...well im guessing the character that would be in Morbius's place will either be Franklin Richards of Silver Surfer, so...i feel like if its Franklin, hes got to come with spidey, if its Surfer hes got to go with one of the heralds...this is tough... Zach, can you tell us if any of the mates in this wave will appear in ANY other set? Edited September 21, 2012 by undeadpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 First of all, I'd like to know which issue of FF that is in the pic with the flame-on Johnny on the cover. I'm curious who else it features. Second of all, did everyone else notice just how crisp and lovely those issues looked in terms of their minty-condition? Just look at the corners! *drool* Third, I'd really prefer to see King of the Negative Zone Johnny Storm as seen in his recent return from the "dead" packaged with Annihilus - it would be the perfect complement to the whole Future Foundation set, not to mention being one of the few notable Johnny variants still available.

boyd Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Fantastic Four #233. It's pretty much a solo Human Torch story, with Johnny investigating organized crime and taking on Spider-Man's old foe Hammerhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach, can you tell us if any of the mates in this wave will appear in ANY other set? I still don't think that it's going to be another Worthy/Mighty set... or at least that it should be. The story was not particularly well received, it doesn't appear to be a big part of the continuing Marvel framework (the way Civil War and Secret Invasion were), and the designs are fairly esoteric and unlikely to appeal to a mass audience. Were I in charge of DST, I'd probably just let Fear Itself rest... ... but then, I'm not in charge of DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undeadpool Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Zach said they did a bunch of designs for fear itself that would probably be incorporated into future waves, so that was my bases, but im going to change it actually too: Firelord/AirWalker Thing/Annihilus Spiderman/Franklin Namor(Phoenix Five)/Magik(Phoenix Five) it could be Emma and Colossus since we have already seen designs for them, but really any combination fits, AvX is big, people may not want to admit it, but Marvels really pushing it hard on the masses.

Nessex Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Keep in mind that Zach also said that barring 1 incorrect character, the line-up had already been guessed - So Magik & Namor probably wont turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were I in charge of DST, I'd probably just let Fear Itself rest... ... but then, I'm not in charge of DST. Seems like people here would dig more Mighty/Worthy designs, I've mentioned that we HAVE more Mighty/Worthy designs, and most are cool variations on fairly big-name characters, which means most are recognizable to the average Marvel fan. Maybe they'd be short-packed, but I think they're as appealing as anything else we've done as a TRU exclusive. Remember, we did Boomer in Series 13. BOOMER. based on the reveal today id change my guess to: FireLord/AirWalker Thing/Annihilus Spiderman/Franklin Richards Worthy/Mighty (i cant narrow it down to any 2) Edit...based on Zachs comments (this is assuming i guessed right) ok...so one character was wrong (my guess is Morbius) and the partner swap...hmm...well im guessing the character that would be in Morbius's place will either be Franklin Richards of Silver Surfer, so...i feel like if its Franklin, hes got to come with spidey, if its Surfer hes got to go with one of the heralds...this is tough... Zach, can you tell us if any of the mates in this wave will appear in ANY other set? Nope! No overlap between LCS and TRU from here on out, as far as I know. But you're so close!
