Zexion_Armando Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I just wonder who will be writing the House of M and AoA portions of Battleworld, and how the current X-men stuff ties into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Apparently it's part of Battleworld, according to USA Today: In Arcadia what Wilson describes as "this feminist paradise" a familiar threat to Marvel fans arises again and because of it, the new team of A-Force is formed to be the superhero standard bearer. The familiar threat is probably Iron Man or Mr. Fantastic "mansplaining" something. Arcadia? Unless Joan is there, I THINK the name says it all...Although I don't know why he'd run a feminist paradise. Maybe Purple Man?

stegron01 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Not sure what to say about this creatively from the actual comic point of view but if DST actually took this chance to do a box set or wave that incudes Medusa, Disco Dazzler and (a very long shot!) Moondragon then that is one modern set I could really get behind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Maybe the time will be right for an all-female wave of Minimates! Updated She-Hulk/Updated Rescue Medusa/Updated Wasp She-Thor/Captain Marvel Variant: Red She-Hulk/Black Widow II (Yolina) I would give up Rescue for anyone else on the poster, but really, it would seem we would need an "Iron (Wo)Man" to anchor.

stack32 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I think there are about a million combinations of characters more likely than an all-female wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy showdown Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Right because a norse god, a genetically modified scientist, a billionaire playboy and super soldier frozen in ice from world War 2 made sense as a team up.... The movie Avengers aren't really portrayed as a good team. The stand-alone movies ignore the team dynamic, and Ultron seems to continue the tradition of team members fighting team members for one reason or another. By contrast, the comic book alliance between Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Wasp, and Ant-Man was a fairly simple story about teamwork. It didn't last long, and was pretty much foreshadowing present-day Marvel (Call the Fantastic Four? Nope!), but it was fun. That's what bothers me about Secret Wars 2015. There's so much going on that it's exhausting. It's also hard to explain what Marvel's doing without including the reasons why. It's the story of a guy, who's really mad at Fox, who is smashing his worlds together while yelling, "Mine! Back off!" I don't envy the licensees who have to research and predict what's going to be popular from all this a year from now. Mattel tried to do some Flashpoint-themed Action League figures a few years ago, and while they were good, they were so unsuccessful they pretty much killed that line. Events like this are a huge merchandising gamble, so I wouldn't fault DST for going more classic-style for wider releases and saving the new and experimental stuff for exclusives.

Valo487 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm sure Marvel will give them some hints as to who to feature, but I agree with you, event-based waves in toys usually don't age well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan The Accuser Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I agree that it would be a huge longshot for an all female box set but I'm loving elmeuax and Stegron01's suggestions. Hellcat, Moondragon, Medusa and Disco Dazzler would make this classic character lover swoon. A Defender, an Avenger, an Inhuman and an X-character... that's the kind of diversity I'm looking for!

Mnemosis Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I could TOTALLY get behind that lineup, However. I'd ditch hellcat for black and yellow Wasp Edited February 8, 2015 by Mnemosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Sure, sure, ditch the one I want the most. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy showdown Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 They'd just save her for Wasp Through the Ages, a 750-pack of figures highlighting everything Janet Van Dyne has worn at any time ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
