AFMcGill Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Okay, one ground rule: no teams that exceed a single boxset. No weaselling around the limit UNLESS something is already available. No proposed follow-ups or cheeky crossover (i.e. we don't get x in this boxset because he can be in y boxset instead). In my mind, this is mainly a source to suggest viable teams that work perfectly as a boxset/wave. Edited October 3, 2022 by AFMcGill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaqualizer Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Superior Foes of Spider-Man: Boomerang Comic Speed Demon Updated Shocker (I like the Shocker we have, but I know some have asked for an updated version) Overdrive Mach V (since he was Boomerang’s parole officer or what-have-you) Spider-Man version for an anchor Unarticulated Silvermane head on an RC car We have Beetle, so this would complete the team.

funkguerilla Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Slingers, Obvs. But, as a Spider-Man Identity Crisis set. So it would be the classics - Ricochet, Prodigy, Dusk, and Hornet - with a 'fugitive' Spider-Man and a crazy CEO Norman Osborn OR The Trapster. Search your hearts, you know it would be awesome.

I mean, Fixer is basically Corsair and the mechanical attachments already exist from a bunch of other characters (i.e. Bionic Commando, Iron Man). I can't imagine he would be a challenge to make. And we are in dire need (at least I am) of Meteorite with the Karla Sofen appearing in The Marvels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Paco Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) I would love to see a box set to round out the Legion of Doom from DC. We have Riddler, Lex Luthor, Cheetah, a variation of Brainiac and Bizarro already made from the DC waves. A box set of six could round out the members: Black Manta, Captain Cold, Giganta, Scarecrow, Toyman and Gorilla Grodd. I know Solomon Grundy is missing but the box sets only seem to going with six figures. They could do extra parts to make Scarecrow a member of the Sinestro Corps. Giganta and Grodd could be 3 inch mates and maybe there could be a mini figure of a smaller Giganta that could be used to help show her growing in size. Could also offer the extra parts to make a variant look for Lex Luthor to appear as he did in the cartoon. Just a thought as we need more villains in the DC world of Minimates.

Captain Paco Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Another good box set of a team (of sorts) would be the crew of Star Trek Enterprise: Trip Tucker, Hoshi Sato, T'Pol, Travis Mayweather, Malcom Reed and Phlox. We already got Archer in the Legacy line and so this box set would finish off the team. Could even include the extra parts to make all of them in EV suits from the series as all of them were at one time in an EV suit. And a bonus would be Porthos as a mini figure. This would be easy as most of the crew use the same uniform just different piping for their division. T'Pol could actually use a design form several other past figures, since she wore basic body suits, the white one could be a recycle of Emma Frost. Another box set idea would be to finish off the Star Trek The Next Generation Crew: William Riker, Deanna Troi, Geordi LaForge, Worf, Guinan, and Data. We already have Captain Picard. This set could have the parts to make the Series Uniform and the Movie Uniform from First Contact and Nemesis. Also could include the parts to allow Troi to be made in a dress as she wore in the few few seasons of the show. Maybe a head swap to allow Troi to be Crusher or Pulaski. Maybe the parts to swap Data for Barclay or O'Brien. Same would be true for Deep Space Nine as well. We already have Sisko. So a box set would have Kira, Jadzia/Ezri Dax (via head swap maybe extra shorter arms and legs since Ezri was shorter than Jadzia), Bashir, Quark, O'Brien, and Odo. If you do a box set for TNG and include O'Brien, then you could swap him for Kai Winn or Kai Opaka or even Morn. Then we have Janeway and Seven of Nine from Voyager, so a box set would finish off that crew as well. Chakotay, Tom Paris, Harry Kim, Tuvok, Neelix and B'Elana Torres. Could include parts to swap and use Torres' body to make a Seska, and then parts to make Torres, Chakotay and Tuvok as members of the Maquis. and a rubber salamander to show the mutated futuristic version of Tom Paris. Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Pike, Chang-Riley, Sam Kirk, Hemmer, M'Benga and Noonien-Sighn. That would be a good start to getting the new series launched in the Minimate Universe. The for Discovery: Burnham, Saru, Stamets, Detmer, Tilly and Linus. Need more aliens in the Star Trek Minimate Universe. Then could include parts to make other crew members of Discovery maybe or to make variations of the included characters. Having the extra parts or such would encourage the collectors and customizers to purchase multiple sets and thus help both Diamond Select and the Minimates realm of collectors. All in My Humble Opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellfireSamurai Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) 6pk of The original Midnight Son's. Ketch Ghost Rider Blaze Vengeance Morbius Blade For the final figure Dr Strange in his Strange persona or throw in a baddie with Zarathos If we want throw in a small pack in character then the Darhold Dwarf. For a 4pk a re-release/update of some oldies with a New Fantastic Four set (especially given there is a current series that takes place after the original story from the 90's) So Ketch GR Spidey Civies & hat Wolverine/Logan Joe Fixit Hulk Also while not Marvel another 6pk set idea: Gargoyles Goliath Hudson Broadway Brooklyn Lexington Bronx Edited October 4, 2022 by HellfireSamurai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
