Mnemosis Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm with Mr PL... cautiously optimistic. If these look "classic enough" I'll use them to fill gaps. If not, I'll save money. Win/win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Please let it be Web Warriors so that I can get a new 2099 mate... I'm guessing: Main Hero versions: Iron Spider and normal Spider-Man Supporting: 2099 Civillian: MJ Villains: Green Goblin and Ock I would be ok w/this lineup.

Valo487 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If I like the new versions, and they can fit in with the existing 'mates, then I'll pick these up. If the cartoon style is too strong, I'll probably pass, unless I'm just really fiending for a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 So do animated marvel minimates count as a new license or was thing something DST could have done all along but never did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I can't imagine ANY update to this figure, if it were to indeed happen, would disappoint anybody. ...Except maybe the people who are happy with the 2004 version, and would rather have a new character.

youbastards Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 There's also the contingent of us that both didn't like the 2004 version and DON'T want a new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I know some of the characters on Web Warriors are drastically different from their comic or movie counterparts. For example, both Rhino and Vulture are human/animal hybrids. The animated versions look like they'd be more at home in the Battle Beasts line. But while Doc Ock and Scorpion (Season 1) look very different from previous incarnations, Kraven and Electro (Season 1) would look right at home with other lines. Sandman reminds me of Clayface but Venom is Venom. That reminds me; I wonder which season they'll be basing the looks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlushyFrog Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hmm in that case I hope they fit stylistically with comic-book 'mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, if you give me 2099 in 20 and MK, Carol, the Illuminati and Bondage-Men in 21/64/65, you'll be the best toy company EVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Do NOT do an image search for Bondage-Men So, uh, curiosity got the better of me. Well, at least it was less graphic than Dogtooth or Salo (do not, I repeat, DO NOT search for "Salo or 120 days of sodom").... In other, less disgusting news, who's excited for a new 2099 mate (it's probably coming, right?)? I sure as hell am! Though, 2099 appeared in 3d and not 2d animation, so I'm wondering how they're going to tackle him (if they indeed do make him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The animated design doesn't have the webbing, I'm afraid. Since that's the case, I'd hope for Iron Spider. http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=1639&n=Superior+Spider-Man'>Superior Spider-Man is already very similar to the cartoon Ultimate Spider-Man.

Onyx_6 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 My guess/hope: Spidey/Doc Ock Iron Spidey/Goblin Luke Cage/Stan the Janitor I cannot think of any suit Spidey has had in the series (last 4 episodes not included) that is truly unique to the show - other than the Iron Spidey look with the arms. Aunt May is probably the most prominent civilian in the show. Harry and MJ are close, too. Norman is a possibility too. I would assume civilian does not refer to an Agent of SHIELD. Nova is probably the easiest supporting hero to make. White Tiger is a long shot, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I just hope they won't look too out of place when displayed alongside regular comic Minimates. I'll probably pass if they're too cartoony, but will have to see them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 To me, it's like the TMNT 'mates. The Turtles look fine next to other 'mates, because there's no other character that is like them, they're supposed to be unique. But April O'Neil next to other 'mates looks like a cartoon, and if that's how these turn out I'm not sure what I can use them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Good point about April. Hopefully Iron Spidey will have the arms I can add to comic Iron Spidey. Can't believe he never came with them originally. It's like having Doc Oc without tentacles. I'll still reserve judgement until I see them, might be too cool to pass up on. I'm all for new properties or different branches of Marvel, such as cartoon and movie, just wish it didn't come at a cost of a comic wave.

Zexion_Armando Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I just think it may present an issue with now 3 versions of the same property vying for attention. And out of those, 1 of them is a total niche... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I just think it may present an issue with now 3 versions of the same property vying for attention. And out of those, 1 of them is a total niche... I wouldn't say comics are a niche, but they're definitely less popular than the movies and cartoons.
