This is Kylun: He was a less-impressive Excalibur member with the mutant power to duplicate any sound he heard. Quote

I'm guessing this would have been weird repaints like a silver Longshot, Green Quark, etc. It probably would have been a KayBee or FAO Schwartz exclusive. ToyBiz did make Spiral in late 95/early 96, a rare female contribution to the line. She was released a year after Longshot, Shatterstar, Mojo and Quark or else she probably would have been included in this set. If I can find a complete list, I'd like to to go through all of the old ToyBiz lines and see who we're missing as Minimates... I have gone through http://www.marveltoys.net/ every now and then but I haven't ever done a serious list because then my heart would hurt. That line was so great and it had Medusa, Grey Black Widow, most of Gen X, and most importantly 60's Jean. If only it had a Crystal it would have been perfect. Quote

It's extremely difficult due to all the variants and retailer exclusives. The scale continued well into the late nineties long after the popularity died down. They made a ton of female figures as Puzzle Zoo (remember them?) exclusives. They were pretty lazy repaints, but we got stuff like X-Factor Wolfsbane, Shanna and Marvel Girl. I wanna say they got to Crystal eventually but I can't recall with 100% certainty. The line had some unique stuff but you also have to remember they did classic Marvel no favors. For example, I don't think they ever did a decent Cap, Thor or Hulk. Quote
Heinous Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Man, that killspree was one of my fav 5 inch figures. Who the hell was he? Quote

Toys were so different back then. On one hand it was cool to get so many oddball characters, on the other hand it was frustrating to have Tusk of the Dark Riders, Kylun and multiple versions of Garrison Kane but no proper Jean Grey or anything pre-Jim Lee. Yeah, I appreciated the diversity. Like MiniMates, in that the line(s) were a mix of up-to-the-second editorial, animated series, and classics. My interest in Marvel toys goes all the way back to the Megos I had when I was very young, but Secret Wars hit at the peak of my young toy collecting. So of course, as my sig suggests, I'm still holding out for a Constrictor to finish that lineup. But I'm getting off-topic: This Wolverine series is awesome and I'm psyched. I think the only specifically Wolvie character left that I'd really like to see is Wendigo. Which could be considered an army builder. Quote

As probably Crystal's number one fan this is a real sore subject. Especially when a Squirrel Girl gets a figure or a Deathstrike gets a redo. I know it is silly but we all have our favourites. Quote

Not to veer too far off topic, but Toy Biz made some dope classic marvel figs, too. The Hulk cartoon line yielded a few great Hulk figs. And, there was a great Cap and Bucky two pack released. I loved the toy biz line. ❤️ Quote

If DST makes a Crystal mate for the Inhumans movie or just in general all is forgiven... Just saying. Quote
elhonez Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Crystal has been overlooked now in 43 years of Marvel action figures, if you go back to Mego's first offerings in 1973. (Crystal was introduced as a character in 1965) I think with Agents of SHIELD at least paying lip service to the concept of Inhumans, the royal family is a bit overdue in MiniMate format, especially since we already have their pet dog. They're "kind of a big deal." (Ron Burgundy should play Karnak) Quote

A book that is currently outselling Uncanny X-Men, Daredevil, Punisher and Captain America: Sam Wilson, among others. Just an FYI... Kidding aside, I'd love a Crystal but I'd rather see her in her ANAD costume. The short hair/jacket combo really works with her colour scheme. Edited October 20, 2016 by Kostisfire Quote

Heinous Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 That costume is OK, but it'd piss so many people off if they made that before they made the classic Quote
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 The "Logan" movie trailer dropped this morning. I'm kinda bummed now that we don't seem to be getting a movie wave. Even though this wave is awesome there are some really cool looks in the trailer. Old man Charles, the little girl (X-23 most likely) and her rainbow shirt, the bad guys (who I won't name for fear of spoilers). Hell I'd take a 4-pack with Charles, Logan, the girl and the main bad guy. Someone get on that for SDCC or something. Anyway, I really like this wave. I can put Mojo and Spiral in with the GotG baddies. And I'll be looking for extras of that VR helmet Weapon X for the accessories. Quote
Heinous Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I'm really glad we're getting this wave instead of a movie wave. Basically all civilians. Yawn Quote
bilbofett Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 For the record, they dropped and image of one of the bad guys with a tweet by director of the name of bad guys. And yeah I want some movie x-men minimates dammit! Quote

I'd forgive if they gave us both hair styles. Also, this Wolverine movie looks great. Can't wait for these mates! Quote
BuffaloDelorean Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I think they're different enough DST wouldn't make one as an alternate look. Quote
