Mnemosis Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Seriously, amazing wave. I'm STRONGLY considering buying a second set and selling off a set of Brotherhood. If anyone here wants just the four villains, we should talk. Oddly enough, Forge and Banshee are the only ones I'll be using as is. The Jubilee head will go to box set Jubes with this body becoming 90s Kitty Pryde. Storm will be QC'd to Cecilia Reyes. Spare Wolverine will become Joseph, and my three remaining figures? Time will tell... Also, totally thinking of gluing Havok's energy blase from a few waves back to Banshee's face. You mad genius, you!

fwoosheyman Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 If X-Men minimates have to go away for awhile at least they are going out strong. Love all the alternate parts, I will definitely be buying multiples. Shame Destiny doesn't get a sculpted head but it's better than no Destiny.

Mnemosis Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Bwahahahahaha... I'm lucky this was RIGHT before I started reading. An animated Morph seems a strong possibility... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 i'm going to need extras, too! i remembered Cecilia, but forgot about Joseph. who else has worn it? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 i'm going to need extras, too! i remembered Cecilia, but forgot about Joseph. who else has worn it? Anyone? Muir Island saga featured a few more mutants in this design (although - they looked a but more like Black & Yellow) So, Strong Guy (who won't be easy to QC cause he's so big), but Polaris, Moira & Amanda Sefton (at least, i think that's her on the cover) would all be pretty easy customs to do. Legion might be a bit harder with that hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 X-Force wore them while imprisoned in the X-Cutioner's Song arc, and there was a weird thrown together team just before Morrison came on board, most of whom wore this. It included Unus's son? I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 i'm going to need extras, too! i remembered Cecilia, but forgot about Joseph. who else has worn it? Anyone? I am going to buy the hell out of this set. Yes, I am annoyed that my First Class X-Men set is about to get replaced but I am so freaking excited for this set. I already need 4 set of them.

stack32 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Well, those Brotherhood 'mates sure are... something. But as tired as I am of X-Men I do have to admit the hero side of the wave looks pretty cool. The X-Men were wearing those costumes in some of the first comics I read so I'll definitely be picking up enough to complete the team.

gambitron Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I don't remeber if it was already mentioned or not but will their be a TRU wave to accompany this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Is Pyro's fire going to be translucent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Lol, I feel like somebody here guessed this.. .. (all raise hands). No surprises. But in a good way. Excuse me.. .. WE'RE GETTING BLOB!! !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Holy moly. This is an amazing wave. In definitely getting doubles. Maybe triples. I honestly thought that this wave as guessed was a pipe dream. Being wrong had never felt so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 This will be the first time that I order a whole case. These are fantastic. My only complaint is Pyro's mask. It looks way to bulky and reminds me of the bulky lego Batman masks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Fantastic! I hope this means we'll get a swell classic Banshee soon from these parts. I also never thought we'd get a Destiny minimate. WHOA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 No, there is no TRU wave. TRU 19 will come out a bit before this, I believe, and there is no overlap or connection. No, Gambit does not come with a trenchcoat. Yes, Pyro's flames will be translucent. They will be solicited to retailers in a couple of weeks, Luke should have all the details then.

MisterMiracle Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Well that's an awesome wave! I love the new Jubilee heads. Those are definitely better than the original version. I'm pumped that we're getting Forge, Blob, Avalanche, and Pyro. My only complaints are: 1. Pyro's head looks strange. Can we get a reuse out of the Invincible hairpiece? That might look better. 2. I think Blob needs boots that aren't quite so high. It makes him look like he's wearing pants instead of a singlet. Might I suggest the new Drax boots from the Toys R US Guardians Of the Galaxy wave?

Scorpion Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Like Mistermiracle said, what about Pyro’s mask, do you think it might look different when Wave 60 is released. Like maybe moving the eyes further apart. Either way this is a great wave, been reading a lot of old X-men comics. I just finished reading the Essential X-Men Volume 1-11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_Marvel_Comics Edited October 11, 2014 by Scorpion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Wow, yeah, the Invincible mask would be PERFECT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Okay, it's official, I NEED a case. I don't care if the rest of the X-Men never wore those outfits, I'm QC-ing the whole bunch. I always was a fan of uniformed looks so this is right up my alley. But winter 2014? So you're telling me that I have to buy: an Alien case,the Tarantino mates, the Godzilla 4-pack, tru 19, 60, 59, GFT, Infinity, X-Force, the pathfinder wave and 4-pack and find the Mass Effect and TMNT minimates all before the year ends?

Psyguy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Wow. This is awesome news to wake up to. The fact that we are getting such often-requested villains along with the interchangability of the uniforms makes this a dream wave for me. Throw in the fact that I'm predominantly an X-fan and I'm feeling pretty spoilt right now. Time to retire some of my really early customs. I will probably stick a little sculpt on the top of Destiny's head. I think I'll have plenty of spares because I'm a little scared at the thought of how many of these I may actually buy. Hope this wave is a massive success. Thanks DST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 This will be my first FULL wave since 47, which was - that's right - X-Men themed. Prior to that? Toys R Us 10 and specialty 33 and 34. Strange to look at all the mates I have and know this will only be my fourth full wave, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 ya this is a fantastic looking wave and a great send off for everyones favorite Muties until we can get more. Can I ask Zach, is there a particular team/part of the MU that will be mostly explored next year? or is the verdict still out? I will be buying multiples of every set, that Avalanche is a dream come true especially with both looks AND that bad ass reuse of the broken concrete used as street chunks! (genius). Pyro looks a little goofy but i think thats the product of Pyro being a goofy looking character to begin with, though the fire pieces are bad ass. seriously guys, thanks, DST has come through for its fans time and time again and while lately a LOT of fans have been questioning the companies loyalty to its fans, im glad that hasnt discouraged you guys from pulling out all the stops for us.
