Ozymandias Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) I just remember Zach gave us another clue at the TMNT post telling us that two characters from a list given by BHM will be made. The list consisted of WWII Nick Fury, 60's Swordsman, Deathlok, Marvel Girl, Toad, Executioner and Super Adaptoid. But I suppose those characters also could be released as part of the non X-Themed Wave 75/TRU 25 (Maybe the Marvel Knights wave hinted at Ask DST in answer to Kostisfire question) or as part of the next walgreens animated wave (I'm betting that Super Adaptoid will be there) or even in later unknown releases.

The Scarlet Spider Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If I had to guess it'd be Deathlok and Marvel girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Didn't Zach say a while back, that 2017 would be relatively heavy on villains? I can't remember the thread, but I seem to recall something like that being said. Regardless, unmade characters are always welcome, so yeah, bring it on! A few more hints wouldn't hurt though...

BuffaloDelorean Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Super Adaptoid would make sense for the new villain in the next Walgreens wave. Executioner could work in a Thor-themed two pack for TRU 25, and Toad or Marvel Girl could have a place in 25, or be a sign of the box set being classic X-Men. I wish we could get more clues, but I don't know how likely that is. The most disappointing thing I can imagining the box set being is Spidey characters without Beetle as the new character, and even that could have some nice villain updates. I can't wait.

stack32 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I hope DST isn't checking off highly-requested characters if they make animated versions of them. That would be very disappointing. I think the boxset must be either Spider-Man or X-themed. It's been years since we had a boxset dedicated to comic Spider-Man (and longer for a wave) but DST never goes too long without making X-Men.

Kostisfire Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If they do something X-Related, I hope we get a Goblin Queen. Dunno how she'd fit or whatever, but... I want my Madelyne! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the AA Adaptoid. This is the comic Adaptoid. They aren't exactly interchangeable. On the other hand, Spider-Man 2099, Nighthawk, Man-Thing, Hyperion, Squirrel Girl, Doctor Spectrum, and Scarlet Spider (for example) look about the same between the two sources. I wouldn't see a USM Beetle or AA Adaptoid as comic versions of those characters, but for others, it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It seems like a Super Adaptoid could almost be a deluxe offering, with a variety of body parts and accessories in hues of green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i remember that comment. It seems earlier there was something about how it wouldn't affect comic 'mates but that seems pretty unlikely at this point. Which is a shame because they're obviously a different style even if they're "close enough" for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something offered in the Animated style is like something offered in the MCU style. It's cool and has its place in the collection, but it doesn't mix with the different styles.

Ozymandias Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I prefer to have animated versions of Man-Thing and Squirrel Girl than not having them at all. In fact, now we've got sculpts for them maybe we could be one step closer to non animated versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 There are some beautiful 'mates in the animated line which........ to a certain extent.... I'd agree don't fit in with other comic-related 'mates. When you boil things down however * you are left with Man-Thing (certainly) Nighthawk ( possibly) & Squirrel Girl (really?!) who 'ought' to have comic-book versions that might sell . That's 3 characters & I can only see one being made again any time soon. That's my opinion & I'd guess you'd have yours . I'm loving the love for the Super-Adaptoid & whilst I crave the original version I'd love the version from MisterPL' s post .........wow!

bigvis497 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 FWIW, Squirrel Girl seemed to disappear off the pegs rather quickly. The character has a Deadpool-esque cult following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Squirrel Girl is having a moment. She's definitely more in demand than Man-Thing right now. Make of that quote what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Comic-book-look v. animated-look ? Surely just a different hairdo for Squirrel Girl would suffice ? Man -Thing needs beefing up & manning up before we see another version. I'm thinking ...er.....whole new design . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great that we are getting animated versions. It's just not the same as getting comic versions. If the Wrecking Crew showed up on one of the current shows and we got animated versions of them in the cartoon-y color schemes, I wouldn't consider that checking them off of the comics version wants list for me.

If they do a 90's X-Factor box, I really hope it would be Havok/Polaris/Wolfsbane/Strong Guy, with a supplemental 2-pack with Multiple Man (and Forge? Val Cooper? Quicksilver? Random! Arcade!). I don't want to have to army build boxed sets. Though, if it were a TRU 2-pack, it might be just as hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd much rather see PAD X-Factor as a wave than a box set. Ideally: Havok & Polaris Wolfsbane & Quicksilver (with removable 90's junk) Strong Guy & Multiple Man Random & Multiple Man That way, all the main members are released at once, and Madrox is easy to army build. It's a bit short on big names, but Quicksilver and Havok are pretty prominent in the X-Men movies now. I think the team in general is a little obscure for TRU.

Polarboy Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 what the hell is Random up to these days? has he been seen since that X-Force run? (not that this has anything to do with him being, or not being made just wondering the characters status) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 it's not main MU, but he was in a few issues of X-Men 92. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'd like to see a Savage Land based box set with Kazar, Zabu (built like Lockjaw or Muffet), Garokk and Savage Land Rogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
