pappymojo Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I cant seem to copy the quote correctly but anyways this: DSTZach, on 22 Sept 2014 - 12:37, said: youbastards, on 22 Sept 2014 - 12:30, said: Cool, thanks for clarifying.So...is it X-Men themed? Maybe, maybe not. It certainly has no characters in common with Series 59, that's for sure.Andif it IS mutant-based, I would not look a gift horse in the mouth. Nextyear will be an Avengers-heavy year. I mean, obviously, but also inways you are not privy to just yet. This makes me think X-Universe but not X-Men. X-Force, X-Factor, Excalibur or Generation X. I always liked Pollina's X-Force the best but I undrstand that I'm in the minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Maybe in the minority but not alone. I loved those costumes and Pollina is an incredible artist. But on a relevancy scale those looks are pretty much non-existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Forge is alive. Pyro, Destiny, and Avalanche are dead. Banshee is questionable. And yah... Pollina's X-Force costumes are fine for some day, but I feel there are more pressing concerns first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan The Accuser Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 He would fit perfectly in a box set with Nighthawk, Hellcat, and the Human Fly ("The Wildest Super-Hero Ever — Because He's Real!"). . .if DST cares about making profit, then they'll make this happen. As much as I want Nighthawk and Hellcat... I think the Human Fly would be the star of that set for me. 19 issues of fun right there. I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be speculating about anymore on this thread but I'm down for Mystique's Brotherhood and I would flip if the two Zach mentioned were classic Sunfire and Banshee. That would be one heck of a wave... best one for me since the Strucker wave if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padrino Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 ...so I'm guessing the crossover character is Wolverine, who will be "dead" once this wave comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 There are four female characters in this assortment. Jim Lee Style Wolverine with alternate parts for Gambit, Forge Jim Lee Style Psylocke with alternate parts for Storm, Jubilee Classic Banshee (swap parts with Jim Lee Wolverine for that version) Classic Sunfire Blob Pyro Avalanche Destiny That would be amazing, lots of characters via part swaps! Behold, the power of Minimates©! Don't even..... just.... i can't take the speculation. I have to keep telling myself that this cannot be it, in order for me to not get my hopes up.

thereasonsy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 A post from Zach is like watching an episode of Lost. You get the answer to one question, and two new ones to obsess over. Quoted for Truth! The speculation game wears me out. But I'll just say... how 'bout the X-Men vs the Imperial Guard? Maybe a Death of Phoenix wave, with Cyclops, Marvel Girl (Jean's wearing her green skirt costume in that issue), Wolverine and... I dunno, Angel? Vs. Gladiator and three other Guardsmen? Wolverine in the Fang costume perhaps? I could get behind this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 http://www.comicvine.com/images/1300-2972777 It could be all three ladies from this pic in one pack (heads) - Storm, Jubilee, Psylocke. Guys could be Wolverine & Gambit in one pack, then Forge, then Banshee. Banshee & Forge = new characters. Wolv = non-59, 19 crossover. Women = new looks. Then Destiny/Blob/Pyro/Avalanche. 4 women, 7 guys. ...they could get extra sneaky and make Banshee classic green & yellow, so you'd need the other pack to make his Blue & Yellow look. Yeah, I think this is it.Jim Lee Style Wolverine with alternate parts for Gambit, Forge Jim Lee Style Psylocke with alternate parts for Storm, Jubilee Classic Banshee (swap parts with Jim Lee Wolverine for that version) Classic Sunfire Blob Pyro Avalanche Destiny That would be amazing, lots of characters via part swaps!

Psyguy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Whatever the line-up ends up being, I haven't looked forward to a wave this much for what seems like a long time. I don't collect any movie mates so this year has been pretty lean for me. I'm with Nessex, very excited that there are 4 females, especially as TRU 19 doesn't have any. If youbastards is right then it would be a dream set for me. Must be patient!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach said four females but youbastards has 6 male figures plus Destiny and a single figure with alternating heads for Storm, Jubilee and Psylocke. I have no faith that this is what Zach meant.

Valo487 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I think the Cuckoos are pretty much a lock, it's either them or Multiple Man based on some of the clues, and that would knock out 3 of the 4 women in the wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Wouldn't the cuckoo's work within the "not technically an army builder" thinking? I don't know much about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Wouldn't the cuckoo's work within the "not technically an army builder" thinking? I don't know much about them. That was my thinking as well. I haven't read much of them but my impression is that they are like twins but with extremely enhanced telepathic connections between them all. They have individual names and personalities but are really close to each other. They could also technically fall into the "dead" category as a few of them have been killed. Weren't there like 7 or 9 of them to start and then they got whittled down to the 4 or 5 there are now? Like I said, haven't read much of them but I do recall at least 1 or 2 are dead.

pappymojo Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Wouldn't the cuckoo's work within the "not technically an army builder" thinking? I don't know much about them. It's possible that Zach was saying that there wasn't a dedicated army builder slot, referring to the common release pattern where two of the eight slots are dedicated to a single duplicate figure of a generic soldier, such as the SHIELD and Hydra agents. The Cuckoo's and Multiple Man are not generic figures. They are actual characters with names. Also, they wouldn't be getting two slots. So, it could be one slot dedicated to Multiple Man as a character, for example. This would play into Zach's other comment that people may still want to buy multiple sets of particular packs.

elhonez Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yeah I realized upon reflection that they'd already done that Wolverine... ...plus that wouldn't really meet the "unguessable" criteria. That's the one that really throws me. Cuckoos meet the criteria that would make the "female count" with our BoEM (Destiny) assumption work. But I don't know what team they'd logically fit into. "4 women" does pretty much obviate the Wrecking Crew as the villains though, unless one of the heroes is a Cuckoo, which makes no sense vs. TWC. All 4x heroes can't be women b/c of the link to W19. Assuming BoEM is correct, that leaves 3x females plus (presumably) Wolverine on the hero side, which seems highly unlikely. If I'm doing a wish-wave though, could be BoEM vs. Wolv, Rogue FA, Storm FA (re-do), Kitty FA (or Ariel or Sprite). But then none of those are new characters... (and it would make too much sense thematically and therefore be guessable) Wolv... Cuckoos... Multiple Man... Banshee. There. Done. Unguessable. But not a team... Hrm.
