elhonez Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Give that we've got Pumpernick Cumberbund finally cast as the Good Doctor, I thought it relevant to consider those characters that fall under "musts" or classic characters in relation to the series, that you think should be MiniMates. There have been no doubt all sorts of rarities and also-rans (I'm looking at you, Silver Dagger, Zom, etc.), but I'm trying to assess what the "duh" characters are for everyone. Off the top of my head: Dr. Strange variants: Astral, Masked version (from when he was called Stephen Sanders), Eye Patch Allies: Clea, Wong, the Ancient One Arch Enemies: Baron Mordo, Dormammu Other Key Enemies and Entities:Nightmare, Eternity, Umar, Shuma Gorath, Mindless Ones Shuma might seem an oddity to many, but he/it was instrumental in Dr. Strange graduating to become the "Sorceror Supreme" and taking the Ancient One's place, Shuma having possessed the latter & Dr. Strange needing to assert his magical badassery to turn the tide. Is there anyone else "obvious" I'm missing from his rogue's gallery, or allegiances? From this list one could bang out a wave: Strange (w/ parts for masked) vs. Mordo; Clea vs. Dormammu (classic); Wong and Ancient One both packed with Mindless Ones. And a box set: Astral Strange, Eternity, Nightmare, Shuma Gorath. That would be pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'd like everybody mentioned in that list, along with a Ditko first appearance Strange where he had a blue cape rather than his Cloak of Levitation. Also, the astral version should be the same tampo's as the Strange Tales boxed set one for continuity sake amongst the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Cumberbatch hasn't actually been confirmed for the role, correct? I think it's extremely unlikely we'll ever get a comic Dr. Strange wave or boxset. I would like an astral Strange though. I suppose there are a couple of different ways to do it but I really liked the design Hasbro went with: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Cumberbatch hasn't been confirmed yet. It's the same situation with Phoenix. As for the mates, we are severely lacking in Supenatural Marvel figs in general, and as much as I would like to see more, I don't see it happening. The characters are just too obscure. PS: Funny thing is, I lost my Dormammu (he's somewhere in the house, problem is I don't know where to look) and I've been searching for him for two whole days, with no luck thus far.

elhonez Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I was really hoping we'd get a Shuma Gorath with the MvC3 series, but it was one of the very few that didn't happen before the line ended unfortunately. It's one of those wacky "how will they do it?" scenarios, like MODOK from the same series. Could be very cool. Nightmare and Umar I've done QCs of in the past that are good enough for now, but of the two I'd really like to see an official Nightmare, because he's a cool character who has menaced many heroes through many appearances. The two I really "can't live without" are classic Baron Mordo and Dormammu, along with Mindless One ABs. ...oh and I forgot I had done Clea as well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Krugarr! We even have a snake body that would work, I'd be willing to overlook the rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 You could probably get a whole lot of re-use out of those hex hand molds for nearly every Doc Strange character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegron01 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Mindless Ones and classic dormammu would be my main wants and the only ones I'd remotely see as realistic (and even those I'm not sure have much chance of getting made) though a wong and clea would also be nice.

Turtle Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Mindless Ones and classic dormammu would be my main wants and the only ones I'd remotely see as realistic (and even those I'm not sure have much chance of getting made) though a wong and clea would also be nice. Add Baron Mordo, and that's my thoughts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Baron Mordo (the animated dr strange movie from a few years ago was bad ass), classic Dormammu w/ mindless ones, Nightmare, Shuma Gorath, I think I remember hearing they actually figured him out for mvc3 but never showed art for it. Oh and anyone he faced with ghost rider and the midnight sons, like Lilith, Zarathos, or I don't know, BLACKHEART Edit - his blue masked outfit from the midnight sons would be an awesome variant.

MiniFiend UK Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Astral Dr Strange has been missing from Minimates for too long. Even though the MvC Dormammu is good enough I would take a 616 version. Mindless ones, Clea, Baron Mordo, Plz Plz a Xandu the unspeakable with a wand of Watoomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Marvel vs Capcom Dormammu is 616. He's just not the classic Ditko design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) I would LOVE to see any control art for Shuma Gorath that might exist... Zach, if you're reading, are you able to confirm or deny that Shuma was ever on the table for MvC? And although it's a long shot, I think this Bowen bust of Eternity is amazing - it really shows the potential of the design in 3D: Edited November 18, 2014 by elhonez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 So did Strange really wear a mask or was that just a magical whammy he used on folks to make them think he was wearing a mask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Maybe the real whammy is making people think he looks like Errol Flynn, when he actually looks like Sloth: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 That was a real mask ac I recall. In the 90s though, he did create a "construct" of himself which, eventually, became another character with a different personality altogether. I'm not 100% sure though, it's been a while since I read the Midnight Sons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
