Valo487 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 The point I was making is that Hasbro has improved A LOT, making characters we had to wait for years for, or are still waiting for from 'mates. And I love 'mates, but the character diversity has actually taken a step back to me, partially because of the increase in movie lines. We still get waves that are awesome like the Cap comic wave and the upcoming Wave 60, but there are still a lot of waves that have 4-5 redos, and while the Deadly Foes set was amazing in terms of quality and accessories, it was completely made up of characters that we already had. I'm not trying to take a shot at DST at all, I'm just trying to point out that a lot of characters are viable enough for Hasbro to release at a higher price point, I hope we see them from DST as well.

stegron01 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yeah I hear what you are saying Valo - DST has given us an awesome range of comic characters over the years, much more than any other line, but the character diversity really seems to have dried up in the last year or two. Much as I enjoy the movies they seem to be the primary cause of this and it would be nice to see that trend change again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I think the movies have made a lot of Marvel characters more viable, who would have thought Loki would one day be just as popular as Thor? But the downside is that whereas before we had 5-10 characters that were seen as marketable, we now have 20, but those twenty are now always in the rotation because they keep alternating between them all.

Mnemosis Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I suppose I feel like that's where a Wave 54 or 60 comes in. Most waves are a blend of mainstays with a few outliers (TRU 19) but then, because of the caché the MCU provides, wave 54 or 60 becomes possible. IF we get a comic Guardians wave (and I feel like we will) you KNOW the movie will have been a significant factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I agree, I feel like it will be the only reason that happens. I hope the same thing happens for the Inhumans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I hope the same thing happens for ghost rider/punisher since marvel got those rights back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I would hope so too, I especially feel like the Punisher has never really gotten the correct treatment, especially since most action movies now are practically the Punisher story without a guy wearing a skull shirt. I am a bit concerned that because he and Ghost Rider have both had multiple bites at the apple, Marvel may view them as tainted and be hesitant to try again. I feel like if anything we'll see Punisher on the Daredevil show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 an R rated punisher show on netflix with tom jane back would be awesome. Think about it, they are doing the 4 series for netflix right now to help lead up to a defenders netflix movie. What if the did netflix shows for punisher, ghost rider, blade, moon night and had a marvel knights mini-movie. Something like that would be cool!

Valo487 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I don't know if I want Thomas Jane back, he's a good actor but from what I understand he doesn't like the actual source material, I don't think I want them going that route again.

arnim zola Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Actually He LOVES the source material. He only dropped out of warzone when it became apparent to him that the studio didnt give a shit about making a good movie and wanted to pull an X-3 on it. He came back for dirty laundry and Im certain Ive read multiple articles where he said he would come back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Really? Maybe the article I read wasn't accurate, but I always thought he liked the revenge story but not the comics themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 So I have to ask, did DST make fewer of these than the average wave? I have wanted to pick up a few more Nova Corps members, but there aren't that many to be had. Or was the movie such a hit there were a lot more casual buys than usual?

Onyx_6 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Everyone wanted Gamora and Nova. Only two of each per case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The TRU closest to me had 3 of the Yondu 2-pack left on pegs. Anyone still looking for it? Regular price $4.98 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
