I would hear arguments against this being quintessentially "Romita," though it doesn't scream "Ditko" in the reverse direction, either.

buttheadsmate Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I agree . The closest I've come to Peter Parker perfection is the TRU Wave2 Spider-Man sans slip-over , Parker looks like the Parker I first 'knew' . Whilst looking at that TRU set (2009!) Spider-Man & Green Goblin, I am inclined to say that is one of the best Minimate sets ever. It only fails to be perfect (for me) because I never took to slip-overs , they make the 'mate look top-heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) I know this Ditko one is old: http://www.minimatedatabase.com/img/fig/fig0095flg.jpg But this one is pretty great, albeit a bit gussied-up. http://www.minimatedatabase.com/img/fig/fig3040f3lg.jpg There's got to be a QC that that head can go on.

Trekker 42 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Yeah but not in the 90s. They’re probably remaking this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested a McFarlane-themed Spidey set, but I think we ended up not doing that one. You'll see another Spidey set with some cool unmade characters in another few waves (89? 90?). We're working a few waves out at this point. Thank God. I have numerous Peter Parker Spidey Minimates (Wave 24 Spidey, Armory Spidey, etc.), and just pre-ordered the Spider-Verse box set off Luke's after hemming and hawing on it for months. I can cool the jets with Pete for a minute. XD Despite that, I appreciate you advocating on behalf of a new McFarlane Spidey. That genuinely means much to me. If not that, then I would KILL for a John Romita, Jr. Spider-Man. I LOVE that man's rendition of the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit, if you're right, I might actually cry tears of joy. Literally would be a Yellow Daredevil situation. Nearly 20 years after the original are we FINALLY getting an update. If they make it look consistent with Sonic Attack Spider-Man, that'd make it even better, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For X-Men 97 I’d love to start with a Boxset of Jean, Cyclops, Magneto, Juggernaut, Wolverine. Then a fast follow of box 2: Storm, Bishop, Cool Dad Magneto, Morph (both heads), Shaw. Box 3: Rogue, Gambit, Bishop, Sinister, and Sabertooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially, the ones here then. Great art should move you and this certainly did. I saw Lenore and was just in awe of how great the show has been. Hope we get mates from it.

Nessex Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Masterful work. Beau's comments on the Pulse nightclub shooting, and the violation of safe spaces for minority communities felt especially poignant, and that translated seamlessly into the episode.

The next few sets are decidedly nostalgic, and the X-Men set we have planned is very 1980s. BUT it does have an obscure X-Villain in it! Bastion? 🤔 really hoping we get him at some point. lol I missed out on when @luke314pi auctioned off the custom ones he made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even funnier that it was originally my first set of Minimates I ever got WAY back in 2009. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padrino Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 any word on when these will be advertised? I'm trying to look back but I didnt see a time frame. Really eager to see and order these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Series 87 (80s X-Men) won't be offered for a few months, but I would like to show them at SDCC, because 85 will be out by then. The 90s X-Men do not have a pre-order date yet. I keep asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJtheJuiceman26 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Thanks @DSTZach! Is the 90's X-Men the box set that has Juggernaut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
