OvenproofBug6 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 With the reveal of wave 77 last week, it seems an appropriate time to begin speculating about the next comic book specialty wave to be released; Wave 78! What theme and characters do you think it will be? Or which theme or characters are you wishing for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'd like a gladiator (shi'ar) and Boomerang from superior foes. Is that too much to ask for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 It is definitely going to be 90's x-Factor this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigarillo Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I can see this being a Space X-Men themed wave. I remember awhile back Zach had a comment that hinted at Gladiator and Shi'ar figures being in the works. My completely fan boy guesses based on nothing at all but that: Gladiator and Lilandra Korvus and Rachel Havok and Vulcan Wolverine as Fang and Deathbird Build a figure: Corsair or D'Ken If D'Ken is the BAF then release a Starjammers box set later in the year with Corsair, Cho'd, Hepzibah, and Raza.

youbastards Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) 90's Jim Lee X-Men - heavy hitters and LONG overdue for a revisit. - Cyclops / Jean Grey - Rogue / Gambit - Storm / Archangel - Psylocke / Wolverine BAF Beast, Ice-man, Colossus, or Magneto Edited January 27, 2019 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 That makes too much sense to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I feel like this wave will be the Comic version of Dark Phoenix "Movie" similar to the Spider-Man Far From Home scenario. If so perhaps it is Dark Phoenix / Cyclops Gladiator / Warstar Phoenix /Shiar Solider Sebastian Shaw / Hellfire Goon BAF - Lilandra which I find to be the most illogical way of doing it so it has the greatest possibility. This way you are leaning into the ToyBiz wave. Have army builders but not in a convenient way. Give us a spread of the story line (Hellfire and Shiar) and have a popular "unpopular" BAF. But I"m cyncial without a cup of coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I was thinking the same thing. However, I think it'd be smarter to simply go with just Shi'ar and space characters since it seems the Hellfire Club won't play a role in the movie. I know that probably seems like an unpopular opinion, but from a business standpoint it seems most logical for me. Battle Damaged Cyclops (X-Men #137) / Gladiator Professor X / Lilandra Dark Phoenix / Shi'ar Soldier Phoenix / Shi'ar Soldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvenproofBug6 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) I tend to agree with the Dark Phoenix wave theory, makes sense with the release of the movie, if that's what DST is trying to do nowadays based on what wave 77 offers Edited January 27, 2019 by OvenproofBug6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceCuseCuse Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Maaaan, I hope it's not classic. Wave 77 is classic so I hope this is a modern wave. I'm cool with it being X-Men, just none of what's being suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Dark Phoenix Saga would be pretty great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooch Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I think X-related 90's costumes are likely given the nostalgia cycle. If so, I'd love to see them complete some X-Force line-ups or bang out a killer X-Factor wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 It’ll never happen, but I’m going to throw out my All-Villain wave suggestion just for funsies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronan The Accuser Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm going to throw a wild guess for classic Avengers. I think we could get a few of the missing characters people have been asking for. Maybe a Hellcat or Jocasta or Swordsman or even a FA Wonder Man. Mantis would fit that list too. Regardless, I'm excited to see what's coming. I'm very glad comic waves are rolling out frequently again, that's what got me into this line from the start.

What else were you thinking? With Zach mentioning there would be some heavy hitters in this wave, I can't help but think A-list and B-list X-Men or Avengers.

Minimate Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The problem with a Dark Phoenix set is that era of X-Men suits were done in the recent Giant-Size wave. I'd much prefer just a random X-Men wave. Kitty Pryde and Shadow King Lilandra and Gladiator Updated 90s Cable and Stryfe Some random A or B-List X-Men and Arcade I also want X-Factor but it seems unlikely.

The main X-Men costumes have been done but we still have a Dark Phoenix in need of a redo, the Hellfire Club, the Imperial Guard and the StarJammers all from that story. I'd give them a hall pass and let them slip in a Sprite and/or Binary to help round out the era but unlikely. 6 hours ago, TENIME_art said: If ONLY. I am dying for the Peter David X-Factor wave but my hopes are pretty much dashed at this time until we get distribution sorted. I can't see Walgreens holding an older wave, but then again I never saw them carrying Avengers BC. Maybe if it was offered like the Lost wave online? A nostalgia wave would have to be in LCS, Cons, and online Toys stores like Luke, BBTS, or maybe they will finally get a DST store together like we have been asking for for years. Whenever I see a He-Man or Gi Joe collector edition I get really bitter that we don't have that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealing my post from the wishlist thread: Liefeld uniforms: Warpath Boom Boom Siryn Capullo uniforms: Warpath Feral Sunspot Throw in Stryfe and a Cable-variant to anchor and you have a wave of 90's nostalgia that's so hot right now.
