Nessex Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Okay... So 49 is Marvel Now, does that make 51 the IM3 wave?It's actually looking like they will trade places. Making this thread due for a name change.I was serious. 49 is IM3. 49 and 50 will solicit next month. So - with Marvel Now being shunted back to 51 and IM3 taking centre stage, it's officially time to start taking bets on who we'll be seeing in Wave 49. We've seen film images of a very gold looking Iron Man, War Machine doing his best Norman Osborn impression & Ben Kindsley dressed up as Ming the Merciless Mandarin. It's probably a reasonable bet that we'll see these three as minimates, but who else is gonna round out the wave? Do we think there might be another Pepper Potts with a Rescue Variant? Ladies and gentlemen, the floor is yours... Edited November 26, 2012 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) This shift in waves makes much more sense than trying to fit an IM3 in after the theatrical release. Here is my guess: LCS Wave: - Iron Man MK 47 / Mandarin - War Machine 2.0 / Eric Savin (Coldblood?) - Pepper Potts/Rescue / A.I.M. Soldier Army Builder - Dr. Aldrich Killian (Variant) / A.I.M. Soldier Army Builder TRU Wave: - Iron Man MK 47 / Mandarin - War Machine 2.0 / Eric Savin (Coldblood?) - Battle Damaged Iron Man MK ? / Firepower - Another Iron Man MK Armor / Chen Lu (Radioactive Man)?

youbastards Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Also, I would love to see DST release an "Armor Dump" for this wave, a single case with 12 unique armors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Did I miss an official rumor putting AIM and Dr. Lu into this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Andy Lau was cast as a scientist, but he dropped out before filming started. I think the internet collectively assumed this was for Dr. Lu, but it could just have been internet rumors. A.I.M. is just my guess, it makes sense as an army builder, and it is time they are introduced in the Marvel film universe. The Army Builder for this wave could just as easily be "10 Rings Soldier". Zach, if you are reading this, the Army Dumps need to come back. That was the only thing the Avengers 'mates were missing, a Chitauri/SHIELD dump with chase Bruce Banner.

youbastards Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Nice! How crazy would an appearance by MODOK, even just a cameo, be in IM3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Isn't there always a Tony Stark in the waves? Some suit/racing/t-shirt/pimp outfit? I'm sure this won't be any different. And, honestly, I'm okay with that. And don't forget battle damaged variants... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Wait, we now have a new thread to talk about Iron Man 3 minimates, which is wave 49, because that thread turned into one for Marvel Now, which was going to be wave 49, but will now be wave 51, and is also the de facto "let's have the Squadron Supreme for wave 52" thread? *head explodes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 brief 616 A.I.M. history time. A.I.M. was originally a part of the "Them" conspiracy that also included Hydra and the Secret Empire. It was the science arm of the organization, responsible for expanding on Nazi super science and outfitting Hydra with all their early weapons. But unlike Hydra or the Empire, AIM also did legitimate business as a technology company and weapons maker. They did business with the US government and tried using political pressure to fire Nick Fury and re-outfit S.H.I.E.L.D. with A.I.M. tech as their first step to remaking the organization into their purposes. Of course Nick, Tony, and the gang publicly proved A.I.M.'s criminal ties, and gave the bee-keepers of techno-doom their first real good whuppin'. Not long after the ultimate leader of Them, Baron Strucker, cut ties with both A.I.M. and the S.E., and Hydra went it alone. Since A.I.M. fought Hydra for years for the world's top evil army, this proved to be one of the Baron's dumber decisions. A.I.M. and Hydra did not make peace until the reborn Red Skull began funding both organizations. In several alternate futures, A.I.M. manages to re-legitimize itself in the public eye and drops its shadow conspiracy persona. So given that, A.I.M. makes since as an evil corporate entity with shady ties in the 199999, maybe even with modern Hydra remnants and the Ten Rings terror group. But given it's an Iron Man movie, I'd rather see Roxxon Energy/Oil as the business rival, but that's purely cause I'm of that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I just wanna know what comic Iron Man stuff they'll release at the same time. Movie stuff is fun to watch and I like getting some of the figures. ... but it's the comic stuff that I wanna see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 The schedules looking pretty tight in the LCS waves, assuming we factor in the upcoming Marvel Movies. I think any IM3 comic tie-ins will most likely come in the TRU waves or in Con box-sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegron01 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I just wanna know what comic Iron Man stuff they'll release at the same time. Movie stuff is fun to watch and I like getting some of the figures. ... but it's the comic stuff that I wanna see! I'm with you on that one! The movie's are great but as much as anything because they give me hope for seeing more comic based supporting cast/villains for the likes of iron man and thor.

hellpop Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Maybe we could see a mixed wave? A few movie figures with a few comics ones? After all (and I know this is going to spark long lists of Iron Man characters not made into 'mates from Miry and Mystery Man ), we've already gotten a lot or Iron Man related characters. I'd be very happy to see more IM bad guys like Blacklash and Madame Masque, but I don't know if another IM comics wave is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Plenty of fodder for another comic IM wave, no chance of mixing movie with comic that I know of. Soliciting IM3 series next month. Very cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MST3KFan Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Is it wrong of me to hope for a better version of the 90s Modular Armor in minimate form or maybe a Pepper as Rescue? Or even classic Whirlwind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
