Nessex Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 For a storyline themed grail... I'll take anything that gets the hole in my collection filled. Especially from the X corner of the universe. I'd take a Fatal Attractions wave if it got us Exodus, Random and some Acolytes. I'd love a Phalanx Covenant series if it resulted in Harvest, Douglock, and Gen X minimates It's lower on my list, but I'd eat up a zero Tolerance wave if we ended up with Reyes, Maggot, Marrow and some Prime Sentinels. I wouldn't say 'no' to a Runaways themed wave if they could figure out a way to make Old Lace (I suspect I'd have to sub in a lego raptor though).

BuffaloDelorean Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 A Korvac Saga wave would be pretty great. I'm not sure whether I'd want it to start an incomplete Guardians lineup, though, or just stick to filling classic Avengers holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had vampire hunters on my custom to-do list for a couple of years now. I'm sure I'll eventually get to them, but this could be a sweet-looking box set if they included Dracula & Lilith (and/or Varnae), Hannibal King & Rachel Van Helsing. It makes me wonder how that old Strange Tales box set did, because it was one of my favorites of all time and I bought a couple of them. 2 hours ago, BuffaloDelorean said: A Korvac Saga wave would be pretty great.

thereasonsy Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Korvac saga wave could have the original 4 GOTG, Korvac, and one more. The whole Vance is a future Cap may have some pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole Vance is a future Cap may have some pull. A classic Vision re-do, surely. That's a long time coming. Basically any Avengers story pack can be rounded off with a much needed update to classic Vision. Although, the original 4 GOTG... you'd definitely want Starhawk in the wave since he was the most prominent one in the story. Maybe in place of Yondu who you could get away with squeezing into another wave because of them all he is a vaguely recognisable name from the movies.

BuffaloDelorean Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'd go with Korvac, Vision, orange shoulderpads Wasp, Jocasta, and Stakar, with the sixth slot for another Guardian. Yondu for movie recognisability or Vance for Cap-similarity (and Justice potential) would both make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFMcGill Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Jocasta would have been an ideal BAF for an Avengers wave but that ship has sailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotter Comics Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I was thinking Korvac Saga as well! It is amazing when you think about it, though. Considering how many characters were in that storyline, there aren't that many that haven't gotten a minimates treatment already. But those ones (including the classic GOTG) are very high on my want list. I'm a little spoiled, though, as I had Luke make me a custom Jocasta before he quit doing commissions.

AFMcGill Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Okay, after some thinking, I've got my grail and now that they've nearly all been in a movie, an Infinity Gauntlet wave that would be improving on the old boxset would be great. Thanos / Death Nebula / Starfox Drax / Pip the Troll Thanos would be slightly bulked up ala every Thanos since the original boxset and he would also come with a gauntlet-less glove so to have a regular Thanos - something the boxset shockingly didn't. Death would have two heads - skullface and woman - or maybe one head with the other on the reverse since a hood would be obscuring the back. I think Rachel Summers was the only figure I saw where there was a different face on the other side. Maybe two sets of hands - skeleton and human - though just skeleton would be ok as most people will already have a bare of hands to give her. Nebula would have hair and also come with her own infinity gauntlet that can fit any normal-sized minimate as opposed to the Thanos-sized one that comes with Thanos You can put it on Warlock, you can put it on Starfox, etc. Probably a generic blaster gun too. Starfox doesn't need to come with anything. Although a face with his mouth missing would be a neat story reference bonus. Drax would be bulked up Hulk style which the boxset did not reflect, possibly with print underneath to remove pieces to have the more regular-sized Drax from pre-Infinity Gauntlet. Pip would come on that smaller elf body. I'm not sure Pip would be allowed to come with a cigar holding hand so I guess he comes with nothing too. Now I really want this so can DST do it please?

NerdyTrev Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 The Dark Knight by Miller, Janson, and Varley Batman / The Joker Robin / Mutant Leader Superman / Armored Batman But that isn't happening anytime soon... A more realistic wish would be the Inhumans Saga Karnak / Gorgon Crystal / Medusa Black Bolt / Maximus the Mad ...and the Kree/Skull war Captain Marvel / Super-Skrull Vision / Scarlet Witch Goliath / Triton On second thought, maybe none of these are very realistic...

Trekker 42 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Regrettably, I feel like if we didn’t get the Inhumans during the great “We don’t want to market X-Men let’s replace them with Inhumans” push we never will. Isn’t it wild that we live in a universe where the Inhumans failed so miserably we got an Eternals movie instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Because I'm so desperate for DST to offer DC Minimates again, I'm tempted to suggest The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans but we already have most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Agreed. I'd love to see the Inhumans rehabbed. (I'd also love to see the rest of the royal family mini-mated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the showrunner of the upcoming She-Hulk series stated that Iron Man,The Incredible Hulk, and The Avengers are only canon in the context of mentally replacing Terrance Howard, Ed Norton, and Damion Poitier with Don Cheadle, Mark Ruffalo, and Josh Brolin as James Rhodes, Bruce Banner, and Thanos, respectively, and that the Terrance Howard, Ed Norton, and Damion Poitier versions of those movies aren't canon. TBH, I call bullshit on that, but whatever. Marvel wants consistency, which I can't really knock, but it'd be more sincere if they actually managed to keep Terrance, Ed, and Damion.

(Don't forget the Abomination and Fandral!) Hey, I think it's adorable that the showrunner of She-Hulk has an opinion. Someone needs to explain to her that those films are very much canonical and that she should think of recasts the same way comic readers look at a change in pencillers. Yes, the characters might appear different but it's the same character. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we're not getting waves, we're getting 6-figure boxsets... there's no good reason at all this can't be one!! An improvement on the old one that also offers some of the major missing characters from the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked different, yeah, but it's still Roth. I'm not a supporter of it. I think it's a tad ridiculous. I understand Marvel wanting to use recasts in the context of flashbacks to earlier media (like the Incredible Hulk scenes in the third episode of What If... ?), but outright declaring those films non-canon in the sense of pure casting is taking the piss.
