Wes Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I really think we are on to something with the blue and gold suited X-men and the Brotherhood. If so, I'm going to be over the moon! If Banshee is only in the 90s suit with no green suit parts, I'll be slightly sad…but that doesn't mean we couldn't get a classic one later on (with Sunfire)! This time around, I'm really thinking: 4 new villains = Pyro, Blob, Avalanche, Destiny, 1 redo = Wolverine, 2 new heroes = Forge and Banshee, 4 females = Destiny, Storm in blue and gold suit with Jubilee and Psylocke heads, and since they said 2 teams would be completed, parts for Gambit must be in the mix with Wolverine, Banshee or Forge. Totally epic wave if it comes to pass! Right on par with the FF wave and the Outback X-men wave, which have been my favorites thus far! I still really want that X-factor wave at some point, but that really may make a better exclusive box set or two (ala Alpha Flight). Hopefully the slow sales of the Alpha Flight sets on the after-market haven't soured the chances of someone picking up an exclusive like this.

Well maybe if we can get the Foes to sell out at Luke's then maybe we can do a kickstarter for the X-Factor minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Oooohhhh... I like how you think! Maybe... the incentive for pledging extra could be multiple Multiple Man mates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There are four female characters in this assortment. I wish I knew what that gif was from... Also, Under Siege series with a boxed set of the Wrecking Crew. Series could have Cap, Black Knight, Wasp, Tiger Shark, Mr. Hyde, Titania and a Jarvis variant.

funkguerilla Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm not going to lie. I look at those costumes and I think "Dull, Dull, Dull". Is it neat to have one or two characters with that look? Yeah totally! How else am I gonna get a Forge? Is it worth having a whole wave of a singular look? Totally not! The Brotherhood I can get behind (even if I doubt it'll be them), but these yellow training costumes I cannot. Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope all of you hoping for these looks are disappointed. If only because I'm jonesing for a wave I can get excited about again.

Nessex Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 If one pack was made as Forge & Storm with alternate parts (Spare, non-metal leg & hand for Forge), you could really make the whole cast without taking up any more than 2 slots in the wave. It'd just be a case of head-swaps and QC's to get everyone else. I'd be ok with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Also - if it IS going to be based on UXM 275 - Could the other 'team' be the Shi'ar? They've been protagonists. You could even argue they were 'villains' at some stage. The royal family is a team of sorts? D'Ken, Lilandra, Deathbird & maybe Gladiator..... It's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?

TENIME_art Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm not going to lie. I look at those costumes and I think "Dull, Dull, Dull". I agree and am glad I'm not alone. I love uniformed looks for teams. Usually. But with superheroes, I love the unique looks. If we got those figures, I would buy them, as I love Minimates. But I would probably never display them. Could the other 'team' be the Shi'ar? They've been protagonists. You could even argue they were 'villains' at some stage. The royal family is a team of sorts? D'Ken, Lilandra, Deathbird & maybe Gladiator..... It's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? (Also, would it be too greedy to hope for enough alternate parts to get both her armor and her swimsuit?) If I could only have one, I'd pick armor definitely. But it'd be cool to be able to get both in one shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I will never share in the affection for the Shi'Ar. I don't begrudge anyone who wants them, but for me I always hated when the X-Men went to space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 You know what would be almost un-guessable? X-Babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I thought of that at one point... And Valo, I'm with you. I'd get some Shi'ar because of how prolific they've been over the years, but... ech. As for the training uniforms? Do I want to display blue and yellow Wolverine, Jubilee, Storm, and Gambit? No. But do I want to make QCs of Joseph, Cecilia Reyes, and Kitty Pryde to stand alongside Forge and Banshee? Hell yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Ultimate X-Men Ultimate Wolverine (dead/carryover character from TRU 19) Ultimate Angel (dead) Ultimate Psylocke w/ Ultimate Rogue parts Ultimate Kitty Pryde Ultimate Toad (dead) Ultimate Blob Ultimate Magneto (dead) Ultimate Mystique Fits the "unguessable" angle, 4 dead characters, carryover character from TRU19, 4 females (with swappable parts) and part has been guessed (Brotherhood of Evil Mutants).

hailtotheking Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Stranger, I really would be excited for an Ultimate themed wave, but since none of those characters have been demanded in the ultimate version or appeared in comics for a while I don't see it happening.

Mysterious Stranger Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Or my original joke guess, Ultimatum Ultimate Iron Man (carryover from TRU19, new look for Ultimates 3/Ultimatum) Ultimate Quicksilver swap parts with Ultimate Hawkeye Ultimate Scarlett Witch (dead) Ultimate Wasp (dead) swap parts with Ultimate Black Widow And the Ultimate Brotherhood I previously posted. It has to be the Ultimate Brotherhood because Zach has mentioned they won't do another 2-pack mixing Ultimate and 616 characters after the Ultimate Spidey "outrage".

youbastards Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think Chuck has gone on record saying that he doesn't see an entire Wave being dedicated to the Ultimate Universe, but we might still get a character from time to time if an alternate look is needed for an a-lister.

hellpop Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I also think I remember him saying that the last Ultimate-only wave didn't sell very well. Could be wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
