kaipo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Don't scare me like this Zach. I don't mind movie 'mates for Captain America 2, but I want a comic Winter Soldier. I'm prepared to beg. Who knows, there might be a comic wave to go along with the movie wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I never said every movie design worked with comic stuff. Destroyer, yes. Volstagg, maybe not. Gwen Stacy, Ben Parker, Curt Connors, Blob, Wraith, Odin, Frigga... It all depends. If you have a specific comic look in your head, then no, very little will work. If you simply want that character, and it's close enough, then you might be happy to have it. We haven't yet received Frigga and Wraith. So I assume they're coming with the Wolverine & Thor 2 lines? And if we are getting Frigga, we better be getting the remainder of the Warriors Three (Hogun & Fandrall) and Heimdall too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaipo Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I like how now we are talking Winter Soldier on the Wolverine thread, and meanwhile on the Winter Soldier thread they are talking Wolverine (kind of). If they do a Cap themed wave though, a Winter Soldier/Falcon 2 pack would do nicely, and perhaps it would be a good opportunity to reboot classic Nick Fury. (Variant could be WWII Nick Fury).

MisterPL Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Bad news for anyone hoping that we'd get a Banshee out of a possible Days of Future Past series. It's been confirmed the character will not be returning for the sequ-- er, preq-- ummm... next X-Men movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Also, the movie lines bring a lot more attention to Minimates than a comic series. Our Extremis Soldier got us coverage on sites that wouldn't have cared otherwise. That helps the brand overall. And we only get the one chance to do a movie line. We can make comic characters whenever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Misspoke on Wraith (can't believe we didn't make him) but Frigga is coming. Also, those other guys you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I attended the Thor premiere and Rene Russo called my wife a "cute little girl", so my wife will totally want her own Frigga minimate for her own collection too! (In the lobby after the movie, she excused herself from someone she was talking to by saying she had to say hi to "that cute little girl over there" referring to my wife. Of all the premiere's we've attended Thor is in our top 10 because *everyone* was nice, no divas!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorshotz Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I cannot wait to rip off the hair piece that comes with the inevitable Viper 'mate and restore her hair-do to its proper verdigris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 What???? That can't be right.... huh - maybe it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yeah they've been saying that for a bit now, the question is what Blink are we getting? 616 or AoA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 So - is *that* how they're going to do the cross-time fun? Blink is now a time-travelling teleporter? Could this open the way for an AoA-style movie following DOFP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I would guess it's going to be DOFP in the same way that First Class was "First Class," or X3 was "The Phoenix Saga." There are going to be some X-men in it, there's going to be time-travel, and there are going to be a bunch of randomly-selected characters that look look on posters and may or may not have some relation to their characters in the books.

Well put. although X3 was technically "The Last Stand" bwahaha. We'll see how close "The Wolverine" is to "The Wolverine". Trailer was "meh" IMO.

winkerbean Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 So it looks like Blink, Bishop & Warpath are going to be in days of future past, the cast just keeps growing http://m.superherohype.com/news/articles/176415-bryan-singer-confirms-bishop-and-warpath-are-in-x-men-days-of-future-past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 So it's... a mashup of every X-men time travel story? I'm guessing it will be an alt-future story where Prof X is assassinated, leading to a DOFP-ish future that isn't quite as wacky as AOA, and the X-men have to travel to the future with Bishop to figure out whodunnit, Scooby Gang style. And it turns out it's Cyclops. Dun dun duuuuuuun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 And Magneto would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those pesky X-Men and their dog-man Wolverine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijames Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I hope Mystique is more of a badass in this one, she was the worst part of First Class IMO. I dont know if it was the actresses fault, the disturbing naked 8 year old version of her, or that lame scene where she half-hazardly names all of the X Men I hated the most, but all of those contributed to my lack of enjoyment.
