wtf this isn't Sparta Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I was laying here in bed, and the idea hit me. Box set. Civil War 'mates? I say FUCK YEAH. What would they be? Glad you asked. Maybe. You probably didn't. CW Captain America, CW Iron Man, Iron Spidey, Speedball, Nitro. And oh yes... CW Green Goblin, Venom 3, Penance, Songbird, Radioactive Man. Thoughts on any other box sets that need to be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 speedball and nitro before other characters of great importance isnt too likey...But if they did do it, what would you want to see in the civil war cap? The new avengers cap is on my display b/c of his details, my only problem is him smiling all the time. and when I do a head swap, the frowning head is too loose on the cap body. How about black goliath and robo thor? with special holy variant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I'd love the idea of event waves, the only trouble I'd see would be the issues in getting the figures tooled and released while the event was still current :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 A boxed set - maybe with a book flap cover showing artwork from the miniseries - isn't a bad idea. Trouble would be picking a miniseries that is popular, like Watchmen or Dark Knight Returns (a Miller-ized, one armed Green Arrow would be ok) as opposed to something that was a miniseries just to take up space on the rack, such as Secret Wars 2 or Identitiy Disc. Civil War, Planet Hulk, Identity Crisis, Countdown, etc are all good suggestions IF they were released while the books/storylines were ongoing. Unfortunately based on DST/AA's track record of getting things out to support movie properties, I can't imagine them trying to hit release dates timed to coincide with comic book events.

drgnrbrn316 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I believe we've asked Chuck about this in the past. He said that the time it takes to come up with a line-up, get it approved, tool the parts, get the actual figures approved, then produce them and ship them takes longer than most events last, making it hard to do something current.

Dude Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Defenders II box set Nighthawk Son of Satan Hell Cat Namor varient in green trunks with Trident I'm still holding out hope for a Young Avengers wave Patriot/Iron Lad Stature/Hawkeye Asgardian/Hulkling With Asgardian's brother <whose name escapes me> as the varient.

Pete Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Still holding out hope for a House of M box set... It could be virtually done by just applying new paint jobs to old figures. I'd love to see an "old Guy" Captain America though. And we could all do with another set of Wolverine & Spiderman variants!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Earth X would be another boxed set I'd like to see. Lots of unique takes on existing characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evenflow Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I would like an Annihilation Wave and a Herald of Galactus Wave. Drax (classic variant) / Modern Thanos Nova (R. Rider) / Annihilus Ronan / Moon Dragon Terrax / Fallen One Silver Surfer (Cosmic variant) / Nova (female) Terrax / Firelord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 WWH would be great. So far we can have Hulk in Armor, Super Iron Man, ang maybe Dr. Strange with mace hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 i would love a heralds of Galactus wave!!!!!! i think a 1602 box set would be pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 1602 and Annihilation would both make excellent waves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtf this isn't Sparta Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Deadly Foes box set? Shocker, Powerhouse Rhino (with bracers), Beetle, Speed Demon, and Boomerang. We already have Hydro-Man. Or maybe a Goblins pack. Hobgoblin (re-release the new one?), Green Goblin with removable mask (another re-release.), Goblin 2, and Goblin 4.

For a Civil War Cap, a different face and chest detail showing some slight muscle, like Torment Spidey, and Golden Age Flash's boot things.

arnim zola Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I love my giant size x-men set and the box art is gorgeous. It even has art of the original 5 xmen in old costumes as mates. Id like to see that done after looking at the art for years now. I have always though box sets were a great idea, having popular characters mixed with obscure ones to help fill out the collection. Ive always thought it was crazy for art asylum to not do more box sets. Hope fully the marvel zombies set sells out and they do more boxes, like a ZOMBIE FANTASTIC FOUR!!!! You cant have zombie mates without the four who started the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 As Marvel Zombie indicates, fad waves/boxes are possible but they have to have staying power and Civil War/House of M IMO don't have it, at least on the level of Zombies strangely seems to.

reddmann Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 With Asgardian's brother <whose name escapes me> as the varient. i think he called himself 'speed' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! These things need to be put out quickly, like movie mates. Besides when was "Zombies" put out? Like 1 1/2 year ago? Been a while even for zombies.
