TOP 10 most wanted mates


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Just going through all the photos over and over, I am definitely excited about this year's lines, so I just wanted to start a thread to see what everyone's top 10 most wanted minimates are, including everything that has been announced, shown, etc. if you have to go to 15 or 20 go for it, I'm having trouble myself, so I'll be back later to post my list.

ok, I know I will probably forget someone:

10-Red Tornado

9-Orange Vest Marty McFly

8-Dr. Fate

7- workout Rocky

6-Booster Gold

5-Rocky w/hat

4-Hawkman

3-Green Arrow

2-Thor

1-Blue Beetle

It's no easy task indeed on deciding which figures are the most wanted, so here's my top 10 in no particular order.

  • Marvel Zombies boxed set: nuff said.
  • Classic Spider-Man boxed set: a new villain, plus Venom is back.
  • 24 Jack/Nina retailer exclusive 2-pack: don't follow the show, but I want this for the accessories if nothing else.
  • Rocky 1 box set: I was hesitant about Rocky until I saw the figures and now I want them. Plus, Luke Cage needs a hat.
  • Back to the Future Marty/Biff exclusive 2-pack: the main "villain" of the series is available only as an exclusive?!
  • Spider-Man 3 minimates: they weren't displayed, but I'm sure there are some coming soon.
  • Spider-Man Target Civil War Spider-Man/Transformation Venom: 2 words - Iron. Spidey.
  • Spider-Man Target Web Armor Spider-Man/Green Goblin: I want to see the unmasked goblin, plus we get the Spider-Armor
  • BSG retailer exclusive Starbuck: don't follow the show, but who can resist a hard to find prequel to the line of figures?
  • Marvel wave 16 (Avengers): a new villain (or three, depending on the comic era), plus Thor!
Breaking them down further:
  • Zombie Spider-Man...best looking of the set.
  • Battle Damaged Black Spider-Man
  • exclusive Nina (gotta love a woman in chains :whistling: )
  • Workout Rocky
  • Biff
  • Iron Spidey
  • Spider Armor
  • exclusive Starbuck
  • Thor
  • Scarlet Witch
I'd put the bulk of all lines on the list, but truth be told these are the ones I'm most looking forward to. I don't really follow 24, BSG, DC, or Rocky, but they all look great and I'm planning on acquiring them all as soon as I can. With me seeking at least two of each set (one for display, at least one for parts), I know my wallet will be hurting this year! Thankfully, Rocky, 24, DC, and Back to the Future won't be filled with hard to find variants to cripple my finances that much further.

Okay, I'll choose ONE figure from all the upcoming lines that I'm interested in:

Zombie Spider-Man (slam dunk)

Spock (love that Vulcan hand pose)

Marty McFly (because I told myself I can't choose the whole line)

Thor (finally, and done right)

Mickey (from Rocky set, always loved the character)

Admiral Cain (BSG, just because it's an odd choice for a first wave, and she's super sexy!)

There's been so much announced, I'm probably forgetting something, but that's a good start I suppose!

Oh, yeah, got to get me some of those chains. Since I don't watch 24, I don't know any of the character's names other than Jack. Guess I will have to start getting the previous seasons to watch.

Let's see...

10) Armored Spider-Man - Only #10 because I haven't seen it yet, but this is the varient I've wanted most of all the Spidey's they could have done.

9) Kilowog - Alright, ya poozers! Hal and Guy are alright, and I love my John Stewart, but the Lanterns' trainer is my favorite after the original. Bring us Alan Scott soon, DCD!

8) Batgirl - Because I dig red-heads. Seriously, Babs is a wonderful choice, and looks great.

7) Loki - I was happier to see him than I was Thor. Excellent design for the Avengers' first villain.

6) Hydro-Man - At long last, a new Spider-Villain! Another means of tormenting poor Peter! I love it!

5) X3 Beast - Said it before, and I'll say it again. This will be my display version of the character. It's that good.

4) Spock - An excellent rendition of a timeless character. He's what sold me on the Trek minis

3) She-Hulk - The star of my favorite Marvel comic book right now. A long awaited character for me.

2) Blue Beetle - I do love Jaime, but I miss Ted a lot. This way he can stand tall with a much more diverse crowd

1) Scarlet Witch - My all-time favorite Marvel female, bar none. Just so long as she doesn't say "No More Minimates!"

In no particular order

Jay Garrick - I loves me some Flashes

Green Arrow - the guy that got me reading DC trades

Deathstroke - I always loved Slade from the Teen Titans cartoon

Blue Beetle - Bwa-ha-ha

Booster Gold - Bwa-ha-ha-er

Power Girl - well, there are two big reasons...

Chief Tyrol (flight deck) - one of my favourite characters from BSG over the three series so far (I don't find Starbuck as likeable any more)

Harley Quinn - her hammer is as big as she his

Hawkman - avatar says it all

Nearly all DC, but I'm looking forward to the Avengers Marvel wave as well

i want anything minimated, a top ten list is almost impossible i will try to catch anything comin my way i hate that more stores dont carry them it makes me wanna kick someone in the nuts

I hear ya bro, thats the reason I started a top 10, or 15, or 20 list.I know I could have 5 top 10's of stuff I really, really want. I was just curious what different mates would show up, and if certain ones would keep popping up, but it seems to be fairly random, which I think is very cool, and nice to see that they are hitting on a bunch of different interests. Last year was a tough one, because like myself, a lot of us bought whatever came out, and now we can pick and choose what we like(even though I'll probably end up getting most, if not all of them :thumbsup: )

  • 3 weeks later...

I decided to give this a try so here's my list (I've lurked on toy message boards for years and can't remember liking any toys as much as these to post more than once or twice)....

10. Laura Roslin - c'mon...she'll keep everyone else in line or show them the airlock

9. X3 Colossus - the guy who played him was hot

8. X3 Storm - Halle Berry's hot

7. Helo from BSG - gotta love a guy who schtumps a toaster and isn't

ashamed :thumbsup:

6. Batgirl - 'cause who doesn't like redheads

5. Laura Roslin - Mary McDonnell is hot (it taked all kinds my friends)

4. Ares

3. Marty McFly - just 'cause it captures my childhood

2. Wonder Woman - My #1 obsession in life, except for....

1. Laura Roslin - ok I don't want to sound like my friend lyndacarter on the DCDirect boards, but I hate when a prototype is shown of a toy I really want and then I have to guess at if and when I might be able to get one. I swear I won't campaign this hard for another minimate after I get this one!

Well, that's it.....thanks for letting me play!!

What a great topic. Something everyone has an opinion on, but has to make tough choices.

For me, it'd have to be the following:

10) Power Girl

9) Golden Age Flash

8) Capt. Marvel (though I wish he didn't look quite so goofy)

7) Nina Myers (regular version)

6) Micky

5) Tony Almeida

4) Starbuck (Colonial uniform)

3) Armored Lex Luthor

2) Jack Bauer (season 1)

1) She-Hulk

That's probably about right. Depending on how the Spider-Man 3 'Mates look, that could bump off Power Girl. If Rocky 3 came out this year, then Clubber would definitely be on there. If we got Chloe and Curtis from 24, then they'd be on that list, too.
