Ch'od & Cr'reee and the Bug.

Sikorsky (is the bug)

And I am HANGING out for a Deathbird minimate. She'd look look so bloody good at this scale with her bright purple and wings.

[AFMcGill]

I'd be more interested in a Deathcry.

[Nessex]

Oh wow - THERE'S an obscure 90s classic. 
Hey - I'd be down. If they made her, I'd buy her!

[thereasonsy]

Deathcry is great but an Avenger. Mutant rights! Muuuttant rights!

Deathbird, the Imperial Guard and the Starjammers ain't even muties.

The Gen X kids on the other hand.

Simply put ,there can't be anyone who isn't happy with at least one of the 67 different Wolverine Minimates we have had . 

 

I was looking for somewhere to put my question & immediately found my dumb statement above , nevertheless I'll ask it here .

With the latest Deadpool movie arriving soon ,with perhaps the last time we'll see Jackman as Wolverine, what's the likelihood of getting a very 'yellow'  Wolverine ?  We're unlikely to see further Movie MInimates in the near-future but from what I'm reading & seeing Wolverine's movie suit is likely to be inspired heavily from one (or several) of his comic costumes.  There's an opportunity there to exploit this by producing a comic Wolverine that most-resembles the movie Wolverine . 

...er... I'm not happy with the Wolverines we have.

Really? We haven't made a single good Yellow Wolverine? Not even the Best Of version? No plans in the works, aside from the perpetually discussed 90s set, but no release date for that yet. A movie 2-pack or box set would be great, not sure it's in the cards. 

[minifigvig]

waves 28 and 68 are my fav yellows, and tactical’s alt look is my pick for brown

also been liking the curse of the mutants for a more recent yellow costume

[buttheadsmate]

The movie Wolverine is likely to be very yellow , similar to several comic incarnations but none that are totally like this movie design. The movie design features sleeves & gloves , whilst some Minimate Wolverines feature sleeves most don't & no existing 'yellow' version has sleeves . 

What I'm suggesting is a subtly designed Minimate that follows a comic look yet leans heavily on the movie look , just chuck a couple of yellow spare arms into the packaging 

BTW I don't feel a specific Deadpool 3 pack would be well-received especially after the way Deadpool 2 'mates ended up.

I think Wolverine's Astonishing X-Men costume, which aside from the sleeves is what the movie suit looks like to me, could do with an update.

You're right &, I agree,  it's best to just say that it needs...er..an update.  I always felt that that Minimate & it's packman 'Colossus' had their belts way too high on their bodies , always looked weird to me.

I personally have had heart for a slipper foot Logan. Yes, everyone in Minimated land is 2inches for the most part but the heart wants what it wants.

[Navaan]

I def feel there have been PERFECT Wolverines, Thors, Caps, Iron Man...

Honestly, the one that I feel could genuinely use a 'redo' from the Marvel brand would be Jubilee.

And could still use minimates of Nate, Threnody, Sugarman, X-cutioner and Nocturne.

TBF, the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Wolverine is also based on the Astonishing costume. Just, you gotta take that ugly-ass head into consideration. 😅

Do we know when this set will be announced? Will it be at SDCC or in NYCC?

[thereasonsy]

We all just going to pretend like this didn’t happen? https://www.instagram.com/p/C92_ch7J4n_/?igsh=MWkyM2ZxcTdid2UweA==

Light discussion of the blurry pic in the SDCC thread.

So, whom all are we looking at, for a more casual fan like myself?

This is one of the most cohesive sets they have put together.

Starting with Magik in her mid DarkChilde form. This one is most debatable as it has a few interpretations. She goes fully red when possessed. Similar to the demon that pushed her over the edge: 

N’astirh who infected himself with the Transmode Virus and seduced Maddie to evil becoming…

The Goblin Queen in appropriate for retail attire. All she had to do to bring hell to earth was sacrifice…

Baby Christopher aka Nathan Summers aka Cable. Fun fact, Cyclops hated the name Nathan and refused to call the baby that as it was the name of his bully in the orphanage ran by…

Mr. Sinister leveraging the unreleased XTAS body and cape. Who had been orchestrating this whole thing. After Illyana rejected the soul sword and sent Limbo back to hell, all of the X-men still had the impact of the dark magic on them. Including…

Wolverine’s Dad with demon face from Uncanny X-Men 242.

And that’s what you missed on Glee.

[Chooch]

Inferno was just before my time, but a fun set. Minimates showing up ML by giving baby Nathan legs!

[Nessex]

It looks like they've included Illyana's tail, too! Very impressive. I'm liking this set more and more.
