MisterPL Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 "NO plans to do silhouettes…" because the silhouettes would totally give it away. Predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Accidental emphasis, my shift key stuck. But silhouettes WOULD probably tell you all four items, no problem. Although I don't think anybody said the exclusives would be of a new, unannounced license. All four are known licenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) The new license will debut in Horrorcon with a bagged fig, correct? Edited June 3, 2014 by Kostisfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I believe the next new license to debut will be the one we will have at Halloween ComicFest, with a single BOXED figure. But I am not sure about that. Not final. But we have other licenses we are working on, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimadman Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 NO plans to do silhouettes, we'll probably just reveal them on some larger Web outlets. But we'll see. Can you give an idea of when the reveal will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) "Our SDCC set will have three key updates, and one character we've made in a look we've never done before." - from Zach at thefwoosh. I'm still going with a Days of Future Past comic set. Updated versions of: - DOFP Wolverine - White costume Mystique - Storm or Kitty Pride - Blob Edited June 10, 2014 by fwoosheyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The fact that we still don't know yet is annoying, lol.DoFP seems like the best choice.I just want an updated Mystique, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm just puzzled why DST waits so long to reveal them, at this point they have to have all the necessary info and photos, we saw the Hasbro and Mattel exclusives weeks ago.

MrClean Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 If it is Days of Future Past, we need those Maximum Zombies unreleased tombstones repurposed with heroes' names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Cockrum designed Cyclops, Storm, and Colossus, and Nightcrawler as a pirate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) That'd be badass. Whenever I hear "key update" I immediately think of Cockrum Cyclops. I can't think of a character's specific look that is in more need of an update. Another update could be Thunderbird (and his parts could easily be repurposed for Warpath to go along with all the X-Force minimates). Some other Cockrum contenders for the look never done- Wolverine in Fang costume, Kitty Pryde in X-Uniform, Sunfire in his regular look. I'd like to see these GSXM: Cyclops (update), Storm (update), Thunderbird (update), Sunfire (new look).

hellpop Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah, I agree. I'm surprised he doesn't come up more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah, my current on one display is a mix-match of I think 3 different Cyclops figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Of every Cyclops that we've gotten, there's not a single one of them you guys are happy with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm very happy with most of the Cyclops 'mates we've gotten, but the Cockrum look specifically is in need of an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Exactly. I cobbled one together using the body from the one that came with Dark Phoenix, the mask from X-Factor Cyke, and the boots and gloves from a New Mutant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I believe that's precisely the same recipe I used for mine, HP! The problem isn't lacking great Cyclops figures. It's lacking a great version of the single most important Cyclops outfit he ever wore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Eh, I don't find that outfit particularly appealing visually despite its historical importance, but if they can package it with some interesting characters I'm ok with it. That era of X-Men looks would be good companions to some Brotherhood members though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'd love an updated Cyke, and Dark Phoenix too while we are at it, lol. But if we get at least 1 (non Magneto) Brotherhood member, i'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Has anybody thought of how Pyro would be done from a design perspective? He's got those thin flamethrower cables running from his backpack to his wrists. They seem like they would be too thin and brittle to pull off on a Minimate scale. I'm trying to think of similar situations, Apocalypse has the cables on his back and MArk I War Machine had a small cable on his arm. Apocalypse's cables were made of a hard plastic which solved the breakage issue, however it limited his articulation greatly. You could remove them if you wanted to move the arms, but that's kind of cheating. I wouldn't want to see Pyro done this way. The War Machine figure had an extremely thin cable just like Pyro's would be, however it only ran from his shoulder to his wrist. it does seem very fragile and I do not move it very much for fear it will break. I really don't think they can pull off Pyro this way, the cables are way too long. The only thing I can think of is if the gauntlets and backpack/wires are all molded in the same piece out of a softer plastic, however I'm not sure if that's ever been done before. Even if we don't get Pyro in the near future, we're probably going to see Apocalypse again sooner rather than later so this design problem will need to be tackled. Curious, have any customizers tackled this? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
