Zexion_Armando Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 And this is why a mate should not be made of a character that has spent less then 5 years with a specific look. 5 years? Thats a little excessive, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMage Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Just read Avenger's World #1. The art was nice but the story was spread too thinly. But #2 will focus on Crusher and her partners on AIM island, so that'll probably prove better in terms of story. I've never read a current comic series, I doubt I'll be able to keep up with school and all but maybe I will. I forsee the new Avengers recruits as Minimates. Crusher, Nightmask, etc. They were in Infinity, apparently so they're important enough to keep for at least one new title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So...female Thor and Sam Wilson Captain America are on the table now. If Zach is reading this, I would be curious to get his input on something, do these variations on the characters count as A-Listers, or would you guys consider them separate characters altogether? Is Falcon-Cap a Captain America variant or is he more of a Commander Steve Rogers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You forgot the "Superior Iron Man" (it's still Tony) and his Apple armor. Personally, I'm quite excited and will be adding all three titles (along with GotG 3000) to my pull list. Things have to keep moving forward and people are too quick to write off certain titles. Besides, the newer costumes are a plus for us. They will be the anchors and we'll be able to get more classic stuff along with them. I personally, much prefer Sam Cap to yet another classic Rogers Cap. A bit off topic but Zach, here's your Thor wave line-up: NuThor/Gorr Unworthy Thor(or modern Beta Ray Bill)/Ulik Volstagg/Dark elf Fandral/dark elf Tru: Old king Thor/old Galactus Hogun/Ice giant Surtur/modern lady Sif It contains anchor characters, new versions, much needed classic characters and a couple of great new designs. And best of all, you can reuse some tooling as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Time for some alternate heroes through the years boxed sets: Captain America Isaiah Bradley Sam Wilson Shannon Carter (American Dream) Werewolf Steve Rogers Thor Thor Girl Avengers NOW Thor Jane Foster Storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I would buy all of those, my only suggestion would be that we could get a lot of cool supporting characters by pairing them with one of those variations in a two pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannii Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I miss another Though the Ages boxset... In my opinion, it's past time we got a Spider Man one, but Thor would be nice too with that old and young versions of him that appeared recently. Fill in with Thor Girl and the new Thor and you have a happy customer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The last time we received NOW versions of major characters we didn't get any minor characters in the mix so I don't feel too optimistic about that changing with this batch. And what an underwhelming set of costumes. Falcon Cap in particular is a pretty awful mishmash of at least three different designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what an underwhelming set of costumes. Falcon Cap in particular is a pretty awful mishmash of at least three different designs. My 2 cents on the costumes: -Iron Man is a mix between an Iphone and Tron so I quite like the design. -Thor: Maybe it's the art but in the body shot she looks stunning. -FalCap is the weakest of the bunch (he is a mishmash like you said) but I think he'd make a great minimate. I just hope that DST starts doing more comic waves (apart from AOU there is no other marvel movie next year) which blend new and old characters. I'd love a supernatural wave with curent Strange, Moon Knigh and Illyana but with classic Ghost Rider, Lilith, Man-Thing and Howard. Or a Thor wave with the warriors three, Surtur, NuThor, New Old King Thor and Loki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexion_Armando Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 ... Wonderful Batgirl redesign? It looks like a collective design by tumblr, made for tweens, read by tweens, tastelessness by tweens. That thing is ugly, plus you would probably see it in some awful store like... Forever 21? lol Anyway, if we gets these looks before Uncanny Now, I will just die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever 21? lol It's an adorable cosplay design or perfect for Stephanie Brown's Batgirl but it seems like a huge step backwards for Babs. I'm happy with all the new Marvel costumes. Cap can fly, Thor's black eyes are creepy, and did Tony Stark acquire Apple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 There are some design pics of Tony's new armor in this article at Newsarama. I still don't love it but it looks like there are a lot of interesting details that would translate well to a minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'd be all over that Thor lineup, Kostis. Personally, anything new I'll take since nowadays most of the designs are either pretty good or turn out great as mates. Besides, new stuff help us get old stuff so why complain?

Onyx_6 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 And this is why a mate should not be made of a character that has spent less then 5 years with a specific look. So, how many Iron Man armors would we have now? I think he had Extremis from '04 to '08. I am not up on classic armors though.... Sorry, I just saw this thread now!

Valo487 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I don't dislike any Iron Man armor, I just look at it as another one for the Hall. So the more the merrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm with Valo. I don't recall seeing an Iron Man armor I didn't like. As much as I loathe blind bags, if it could have meant more Iron Man 3 suits, I'd have been okay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I loathe blind bags, if it could have meant more Iron Man 3 suits, I'd have been okay with it. Agreed 100%. I was merely pointing out that if we needed the same look for 5 years to get a mate, we would not have any Iron Men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 The 5-year argument might be a better barometer for inclusion into the "Best of" series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 First time looking at this, and while I would consider the Cap/Thor/IM all essential variants of A-listers, I don't set line-ups. But I hope we make them soon, and that they still look like that when we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If it gets us a Medusa, then by all means - sign me up for the latest Tony armour. Also - Im appears to have a deliberate little diamond shape on the helmet... is there possibly some link between this armour and Vision? Or - perhaps the new 'Superior' tony is actually inhabited by Mr Sinister?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 The title including the word "Superior" and the change in Tony's personality certainly makes me suspicious that he's not in control. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 It's still Tony. He's more arrogant but it's still him. The changes spin out of AXIS so we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
