Turtle Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (now how about 90s X-Factor and a 90s Warpath and Siryn to finish X-Force), one the teams I've pined to have a complete form of for years... Now if we ever see Power Pack in minimate form...that'll be the most surprisingly thing ever in my mind... In the meantime, if we do get a Falcon, Baron Strucker, and Winter Soldier in this wave that'll cross off some more characters on my list to be minimate made. I like the way you think. (Of course, I think Sunspot and Gideon would also be needed to finish off 90's X-Force.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I know they're impossible to get now, but with Thunderbird & TRU Warpath, we've got a "close enough" for him. New Mutants Sunspot can absolutely not stand in for 90's Sunspot, IMO. I'd prefer a 2-pack of Roberto & Theresa. If we need James, stick him with Stryfe (or Gideon, lol). Or heck, a 4-pack.

It's almost frustrating how near complete 90's X-Force is and it feels like they've stopped. Stryfe is such a cool looking design, I'm surprised he hasn't been made yet. Siryn is necessary, Sunspot too. I'd take Gideon if he were made, but sorry, I'm not going to lobby for him, He has "pegwarmer" written all over him. So, a Sunspot / Siryn 2-pack, plus slot Stryfe in with any other unmade mutant (Forge?) since he faced off against them all in one of those crossover events.

Mystery Man Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I feel you on the "almost complete" frustrating-ment. Several teams that need just a couple of folks left. Giant-Size X-Men... for Pete's sake, let's get 'em cleared off the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 At this point, I'd be happy with an entire redo of the Giant Size X-Men #1 team as a boxset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I could almost be pleased with that, but with Nightcrawler and Colossus both being re-done in recent year-or-three-ish I'm luke warm on the sentiment. Still, if they really pulled out all the stops on correct-booted Colossus, included Sunfire and Banshee and updated Cyclops, Storm and Thunderbird... I wouldn't be too put off by another "Best of" Wolverine and exactly-the-same Nightcrawler being included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 They could give us a new Thunderbird with an extra head for Warpath, or vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MST3KFan Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 They could give us a new Thunderbird with an extra head for Warpath, or vice versa. ^ This. Or...a whole wave devoted to finishing off X-Force in a wave as well as start X-Factor... Wave 55 maybe? Siryn and Sunspot Stryfe and Gideon Multiple Man (troop builder/X-Factor costume) and Warpath with variant Thunderbird And then maybe have a TRU wave or something to go along that starts to add the rest of X-Factor in... Havok and Polaris Strong Guy and Wolfsbane Quicksilver (whom needs a good updating) and Valerie Cooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 While I personally would buy all of those characters, making that the lineup for Wave 55 would pretty much guarantee we'd never see a Wave 56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 We should have some kind of thread where there's a list, and we can write all of the things we wished were getting made on it.

Those 90s X-Men lists are truly horrifying. You don't like any of the 90's characters anyways, so I hate every 80's piece of garbage you drool over, but I wouldn't begrudge you getting the Minimates.

Valo487 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I don't mind everything from the 90's, probably because I was reading while these things were happening, but I think a little bit goes a long way with those designs. They just seem too "busy" for block figures. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 My personal niche is bronze age looks, through '85. But I support all Marvel MiniMates being made. Plenty of slots to go around. [TWSS] I think Zach may have explicitly mentioned somewhere in here that the looks for 54 were not classic, so with the exception of Strucker (if we're right about that), I won't expect that itch to be scratched in this wave. Someday soon I hope we see some of the bigger "un-teamed" character oversights: Man-Thing and Master of Kung-Fu. We've also seen non-poseable minis now with Thundercats - I wonder if that execution is possible for the Marvel license? e.g. Howard the Duck, Rocket Raccoon? Or would they be standard poseable figs?

Kostisfire Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Howard and rocket will be standard minimates. They aren't that shorter than humans and with the new short legs and arms i'm sure it will work. Besides, they are far too important characters to be released as unarticulated mini statues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Howard and rocket will be standard minimates. They aren't that shorter than humans and with the new short legs and arms i'm sure it will work. Besides, they are far too important characters to be released as unarticulated mini statues. I disagree, I think that's how they would have to be. Besides the non-possible mates still have hands so Rocket can still be armed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 They are not as short as snarf. They are anthropomorphised animals with armor and all that. They are not simply a raccoon and a duck. Besides, they are important characters so they'd be wasted as non-posseable little statues. In the new series rocket reaches starlord's waist when he is standing up which can happen with the nes short legs and arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaipo Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 rocket raccoon definitely deserves a standard figure, and with the GotG movie coming out, it's almost inevitable that he gets one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Howard and rocket will be standard minimates. They aren't that shorter than humans and with the new short legs and arms i'm sure it will work. Besides, they are far too important characters to be released as unarticulated mini statues. They are both much, much shorter than average humans. Edited June 11, 2013 by bigvis497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Well Sabretooth is as tall as the Juggernaut in minimate form, so I guess they'll breakout the kid legs for Rocket, and Wolverine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
