hellpop Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Intriguing question from the Minimate Q&A this week: J.D. StetsonHello again! I was just going through my minimates collection and noticed there was a hole in a certain segment of my Marvel figures. Frankly there just aren’t enough figures based on female villains outside of the X-Men. This gave me an idea based on what I had read about the future of the Femme Fatales line ending after the second wave. Would it be possible to do a Marvel Femme Fatales four pack/exclusive? There are several characters to choose from: Viper, Enchantress, Madame Masque, Diamondback or Lady Octopus from Secret War (Does Spidey even have any female villians?). I’m sure there are others, and I think Mystique could be updated and reissued similar to the recent Hawkeye in the Disney store set if necessary. Thanks, and keep up the good work! Can't seem to get Chuck's response to format, but it's basically "I can't see why we can't to a Marvel Femme Fatales set". I think this is a great idea, and it sounds like a fun thing to talk about. I like J.D.'s box set suggestions, though I'd probably drop Diamondback for... hmmm... this is harder then I thought. A new Mystique? Spiral? Titania? The female Yellowjacket? Morgan LeFey? As for a Spider-Man set... it begins and ends with her: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Lady Stilt-Man. A lot more, but that one is the most hilarious. Also the easiest custom since it's just a female head on Stilt-Man but still. I would love a Titania though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Queen Bee, Jack-o-Lantern, MJ in Spidey costume, Scorpinetta. There, a female Spidey 4 pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappymojo Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thundra * Titania * Deathbird * Spiral * Anaconda Typhoid Mary * Enchantress * Tempest Vertigo Whiplash (the one in the comics now) Abominatrix * the ones I would most want to see. Also, Viper or Madame Hydra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlecat Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Madame Masque and Enchantress would be the biggies for me, and a great Mystique or Black Cat redo would be cool. White Rabbit would be amazing but never happen. Maybe they could shoehorn Hellcat in there? I know she's not a villain, but she can be quite snippy.

Twisted Two-Face Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Viper, updated Black Widow, Enchantress for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I was thinking perhaps a 4 pack could be: Madame Masque Enchantress Black Widow (Yelena Belova) Or Black Cat (Redo) Mystique (Redo) I think the problem with a set like that is that it doesn't have a big name to carry it, so lets blend them seamlessly into a big hitters wave: Iron Man (NOW! or Rescue) /Madame Masque. Thor (NOW! or Frog Thor) /Enchantress. Cap America (NOW! or Commander Rogers)/ Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff). Variant: Winter Soldier/ Black Widow (Yelena Belova). TRU matching sets: Wolverine ( NOW!) /Mystique (Redo). Spidey (NOW!) / Black Cat (Redo). We get femmes and DST gets its big seller names. T.

ndb Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 My picks are: Mystique Rogue (current) Black Cat Mary Jane Domino (current) Enchantress Madam Viper Jacosta Justine Hammer Wasp (Avengers:earths mightiest heroes) Danger And there are probably more, but these were of the top of my head.

MiniFiend UK Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Madame Masque Enchantress any other 2 and I would be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegron01 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Love the idea of a set like this. With a mixture of (minimal!) realism and hopeful wishlisting my choices would be: Enchantress (much needed thor villain and fits the theme perfectly) Medusa (if we don't get her in the current FF waves not quite sure when we will) First appearance Black Widow (a semi big name after the avengers movie in a cool retro costume who again fits the theme perfectly) Mary Jane or Black Cat (probably much more likely to sell with a spidey connection!) However, I'd be pretty happy with most of the choices mentioned in place of either of those last 2 tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I still want a Women of Spider-man set with Gwen, MJ, Felicia and kissy face Parker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) White Rabbit would be amazing but never happen. She would be amazing. They need to have a female rabbit in the Battle Beasts comic. Then WR would be feasible, because her hairpiece could be reused... :biggrin: Edited September 11, 2012 by TENIME_art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think the key to making a four pack of Marvel women characters work would be to load up on accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) When i think Femmes Fatales i think about women who are as dangerous as they are beautiful.... deadly, sneaky, knife-in-the-ribs dangerous. Covert, cloak & dagger types, rather than power-houses or leader-types. I feel like the title lends itself to women who operate in the shadows a bit. With this in mind, i think the Marvel ladies most suited would include: Domino, Typhoid Mary, Elektra, Mystique, Black Cat, Black Widow, Psylocke, Viper, X-23, SpiderWoman, Lady Bullseye, etc... Possibly even Hela, Lady Deathstrike. I'd like to include Spiral too - but she may not be quite 'shadowy' enough. In any event, if a 4 pack ever did get announced of Marvel Femmes Fatales, i'd love to see Hela, Viper, Psylocke as Lady Mandarin & either an updated Lady Deathstrike or Spiral Edited September 12, 2012 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on previous Femme Fatale minimates, however, it doesn't seem like there is a precedent that they be cloak & dagger types. http://www.minimatedatabase.com/series.php?i=211&n=Femme+Fatales+Minimates+Box+Sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Here's a potentially fun one: evil versions of Marvel Heroines: -Avengers Disassembled/House of M Scarlet Witch -First Appearance Rogue -Susan Richards as Malice -Polaris as (a different) Malice Or you could swap in a FA Black Widow, or Spider-Woman (who was originally a HYDRA agent), or Psylocke as Lady Mandarin (that's a good one, Nessex, I forgot about her), or Medusa (a former member of the Frightful Four), or Moondragon (originally a villain named, I swear, Madame MacEvil :biggrin:). Man, Marvel's ladies have some checkered histories, don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
