TENIME_art Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I really don't like the idea of a variant without an army builder. DST hit the nail on the head when they started doing that. Anything else would be a step backward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 What about waves 52 and 53?The Wolverine, Thor 2 Ah, must have missed that. Thanks! Hopefully Hogun and Fandral will be included in the Thor 2 wave... > I'm really hoping it's some classic Marvel wish list crossing off. Ideal wave for me would be something like Banshee, Sunfire Nighthawk, Mockingbird Hellcat/Tigra variant, Mandroid Knocks out the first West Coast Avengers roster, Giant Size X-men, and gives us great depth for Defenders. But it'll never happen because there's no "A-listers"...ockquote> Dude, if we get a Mockingbird Minimate, I will cry tears of joy.lockquote>Sorry, this is probably a noobish question. If we do get Mockingbird and Tigra mates, what Iron Man armor is Rhodey wearing on WCA #1? I'm by no means an Iron Man armor expert, but it looks like Silver Centurion to me. Yup, it's Silver Centurion. And it's not a noobish question. Yes, but it's not Rhodey. He was in the WCA mini, in the classic red and yellow suit. By the time the regular series had begun, Tony had returned. Rhodey never wore the Silver Centurian armor, just Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijames Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I figure Black Widow is a popular enough character that has been released enough times for those with the champions boxset or who have settled with a movie version to be able to pass up for the variant and still get Winter Soldier. Black Widow is pretty A list these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) No X-Factor this time around. And there may technically be some Marvel Now in there, in that there are some modern versions. My bad. Edited May 18, 2013 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Poor, poor X-Factor. Their time will come. One day. I'm definitely interested to see more modern costumes. For the most part, I'm really digging a lot of the modern costumes that I've seen. Thanks for the info, Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Clone Saga Kane & Scarlet Spider or Jackal. Make mine marvel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Is it going to focus on a specific side of Marvel (teams/genre) or is it going to be a pot luck type ordeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey they still haven't announced the SDCC NYCC exclusives so maybe there? 90's X-Factor for SDCC (Strong Guy, Polaris, Havoc, Wolfsbane) then NYCC (Monet, Theresa, Darwin, Shatterstar) with a later TRU two pack of Layla & 90's Multiple Man? This is tougher than I thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) And there may technically be some Marvel Now in there, in that there are some modern versions. My bad.That's an interesting comment. So, someone (or ones) in this wave has a current costume, but it isn't new enough to have initially registered with you as a "NOW" look? Who didn't get a new costume for NOW, but is considered a modern version of the character? I guess Bucky went back to his Winter Soldier costume for his new book. Was Hawkeye wearing his movie/Ultimates-esque costume before NOW started?Am I reading into it too much?

Valo487 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Zach, I've been meaning to ask you, is DSTChuck feeling ok? The Scarlet Spider has been around for a while and no sign of a 'mate. We know how he loves his Spider-Mates.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 We are getting a Superior Spider-Man minimate about ten minutes after he started appearing in the comics, so I think Chuck is still on his game. I am a little surprised that this wave isn't Spider-Man themed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Hawkeye's costume debuted before Marvel Now, so he's a good guess. I'd be very, very happy if he came with either Mockingbird or Kate Bishop. Edited May 18, 2013 by hellpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a little surprised that this wave isn't Spider-Man themed though. I agree, it's rare to see other Marvel toy lines get the drop on a new Spider costume, even if it is technically a new character. Then again, there hasn't been a normal blue and red Spider-Man in the Marvel Legends line since it returned either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Kind of a hodgepodge. Still, a lot of correct guesses so far.No theme, except maybe awesome.Oops, double post. Edited May 18, 2013 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 No Toad, sorry, but right now the assortment has two heroes (one never made), four villains (three never made) and a villain army-builder (highly requested). We'll see if that changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I highly requested villian army builder you say ......... I'm stumped Oh and 1 new hero 3 new villians (1 being a variant to go with the army builder which means they could be themed) HOT SEX!!!!!

I'm stumped Oh and 1 new hero 3 new villians (1 being a variant to go with the army builder which means they could be themed) HOT SEX!!!!! Because NOBODY requests army builders around here. And none of the villains are variants. One might be a rare, I forget which, but all are different characters. And yeah, this wave is kind of themed, my bad. The TRU assortments are more hodge-podgey, but this one is from a distinct corner of the MU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The army builder isn't immediately obvious to me but I love the sound of three new villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
