I want that to be true, but looking at the figure as it is in the line-up proper, we'd need a second torso, arms, hips, and legs. Practically a whole separate figure, at that point. Again, I'd like for it to be true, but it doesn't seem practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the Dark Phoenix Cyclops. Also I am less impressed with the sonar since it’s so visually similar to can of beams’ add ons.

WeaponX Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Super disappointed in losing Echo in this set. Kingpin was my choice to drop without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I’m excited about Kingpin just because he will make a great Hellfire Club Leland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jettstorm Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'm glad they kept Kingpin but sad we lost Echo. Wish Bullseye had been the odd mate out but I'm still buying the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) We did not cut Echo because she was a female and/or indigenous. We dropped her because she was expensive, lots of tooling and lots of tampo. Lots of extra parts so she could turn into Ronin. If we're going to lower the price of Marvel packs to satisfy complaints, we need to cut costs. She will be released eventually, just not in this set. Daredevil will come with a D-Man mask, hopefully that counts for some people. Edited July 24, 2023 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Luke was the one that started the D-Man train once we got a Logan mask. Maybe this one comes with the red beard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Zach, you're a class act. Thank you for providing answers to our questions. I look forward to seeing what D-Man looks like! Glad to know that Echo isn't completely canned. Hopefully she could show up in a New Avengers assortment. We could use an updated Sentry and classic Spider-Woman (Queen Veranke head included) to go with her! I'd especially love to see her transform into Ronin.

I'll just get Mary secondhand. I have no interest in DD Elektra, yellow DD, black Kingpin, or new costume Bullseye. For the sake of the line, I hope others buy it. It just is not going to be me.

I’m a sucker and already planning on three. Need a MIB and the. One to display as DST intended and the other for alts like D-Man, an upgrade for my Mary custom, a new home for that gorgeous Mary hair piece (maybe a version without the white), Leland from Hellfire Club, and that Elektra could be a great base for a Crossing Scarlet Witch.

elhonez Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) I'm in it for DD, Mary, Kingpin and some cool parts. Kingpin's design actually lines up with a special project I have going on. I will concur that one of the "cons" of the box set format is the diminished likelihood that I'll buy more than one. Which is a shame, because I'd want at least two DDs. Hey Zach, sorry to have missed you at the con this year -- I couldn't swing it. Are there any hints for Wave 85?

luke314pi Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I would love to see Boomerang - for me he's the next biggest Spidey villain that we haven't gotten yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I won't get too into detail, but if we get started now (I've seen the designs), maybe we can show them at Toy Fair or NYCC. Series 84 goes up for pre-order late August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tombstone, Jackal, and Hammerhead are bigger. And no, Hammerhead annd Jackal Animated dont count. But maybe it depends on the era of Spidey you prefer.
