Zexion_Armando Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) No Wolverine AND no Cyclops?Curiouser and curiouser... Maybe its an Uncanny X-Force vol 2/X-Women?Or All New Power Rangers?I think Zach said it was a modern-ish wave. "Not a fan pleaser like 54 was." so maybe not filled with C and lower listers.So that leaves a Storm team based wave, or perhaps X-Factor/X-Force.

undeadpool Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 could be an all new x-men wave, Zach said no "X-face Cyclops" not "no Cyclops" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I'd lose my sh*t is it was an X-Men wave with all the girls currently in adjectiveless X-Men, but i'm sensing it might be more of the All New X-Men as previously mentioned by Undeadpool. All New actually makes a lot of sense. Popular characters in new costumes that are in a lead x-title and in a cross-over story with Guardians which is about to hit cinemas. It could also be done almost completely as a parts re-use wave. With all the new molds being used in the GotG & DoFP waves, i'd say it's quite likely.

undeadpool Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 i wouldnt mind if it gave us new Angel wing sculpts, id love for them to be a two piece system that can fully extend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 No Cyclops is a bummer, that's one of the best new X-costumes in recent years. I hope it's not the All-New team, I like the book but those suits are boring. Here's hoping for a Rogue at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If it is All New, I'd be happy with:Scott/Jean Laura/Angel Iceman/Purifier Army Troop Beast/ Purifier Army Troop If not: Scott/Starlord Jean/Gamora Beast/Drax Angel/Groot and Rocket Poor Iceman, lol.

Valo487 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Zach has implied there's a villain in this wave, but not a new one. My mind goes to Magneto, but if X-face Cyclops isn't in the wave then maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'd say Mystique for e villain. Beyond that, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 i'm just holding out hope that they are saving the Uncanny Now! costumes for a boxset, cause its a simple easy to do and sell boxset. 4 team members, 4 new looks, 3 popular X-men and 1 rising star.

Mattallica Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 wasnt it mentioned somewhere that we were getting a spiky Iceman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 wasnt it mentioned somewhere that we were getting a spiky Iceman? That would actually be awesome. I've been wanting either a JRJR-style Ice-Hulk or a spiky Iceman since forever. If it does end up being an All New wave, i'd like to see a de-powered iceman in uniform with ice accessories.

Nessex Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 JRJR sometimes drew Iceman as a huge, hulking, mass of Ice with an uneven surface: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 JRJR sometimes drew Iceman as a huge, hulking, mass of Ice with an uneven surface: ah alright, i thought you were referring to the Battle of the Atom Ice Hulk, which was an Arthur Adams design I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 NOW! = obsolete within 12 months, from what I've noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Now! seems to be a little more consistent than The New 52, where they're clearly making it up as they go along, but I have to admit when I bought the hardcover of all the first issues of the Now! books, I was surprised how scattered the execution felt.

Lobsterman Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 NOW! = obsolete within 12 months, from what I've noticed. How so? I mean, other than the literal word "NOW" appearing on covers as a marketing device. New 52 was, as I read it, a wholesale reboot of the entire DCU history, with new starting points for every character that might or might not track with the original ones. NOW was deployed as a convenient jumping-on point for new readers for sales purposes, but the writing of characters and plots has remained pretty consistent, and there haven't been any status quo resets. Everything that was going on before NOW is still pretty much happening, and I haven't seen any storylines that have just been abandoned or negated. Whether you like the stories that are being written is an entirely other question, but I think comic fans almost universally despise what is "currently being done" (whenever that happens to be) in comics, and wish everything could just go back to how it was in the good old days, when they were 12. Because comics should never, ever, ever evolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Didn't Zach mention in the DOFP thread a while back that even though we weren't getting them in the movie wave, we could expect to see another Sentinel soon, maybe we're getting a revisited Sentinel army builder with this wave? From February 4th: Yay! how many figures will be released? can you confirm if atleast 1 of the figure is a sentinel? the future sentinel looks great so i hope DST picked that sentinel It's a full assortment of eight characters. No army-builder, sorry. Too many cool characters from too many time periods. Not sure we even had Sentinel ref in time, but there's another Sentinel we're looking at elsewhere.

Earlyfrost Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 really bummed we're not getting an X-faced Cyclops. i was really looking forward to the NOW Uncanny Xmen 'mates. but yeah, i suppose this could be a DOFP comic wave. but Zach said no wolverine and isn't wolverine a big player in the DOFP comic arc?

Valo487 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) My guess is there's no "theme" exactly, other than it being X-Men related. Didn't Chuck imply that they were finally going to shut us up about Banshee and Sunfire this year? Edited April 10, 2014 by Valo487 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Please, please don't let it be the rainbow All-New X-Men. I'm so tired of the original 4. With the lack of comic mates this year I'm dyin for something new. Not more versions of Magneto, etc Some of Storm's team or X-Men members of the Uncanny Avengers would be nice.
