TENIME_art Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I think they said tampos were more expensive than sculpting. I'm not sure all of what that entailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It was stated it's cheaper to produce an extra head than trying to print two alternate faces on the same head piece. Rachel Summers and Secret Invasion are examples that come to mind. It was difficult to get the tampo to line up 360 degrees all of the way around which is why we get alternate heads instead now.

MisterPL Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yet they manage to get Spidey's webbing to wrap all the way around, many times seamlessly. Â I'd love to see a video on the manufacture of Minimates. We need to bug Chuck about getting a virtual tour of the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there are multiple tampo strikes/colors involved, lining up both faces led to a lot more unusable pieces, meaning more waste and more work. Hence two heads.

Mnemosis Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 The talk of the 90s X-Men trading cards has fueled my wishlisting appetite:  Horsemen 4-pack: Caliban (w/alternate Morlock parts) War Famine Pestilence  Fatal Attractions wave: Magneto/Adamantium bleed Wolverine Voght (w/alt female Acolyte parts)/Cortez (w/alt male Acolyte parts) Exo-suit Xavier/Exodus Mellencamp/Acolyte Colossus (w/alt bulked up Acolyte parts)  X-Force "completion" wave: Capullo Sunspot (w/powered up parts)/Gideon Capullo Feral/Stryfe Capullo Warpath (w/alt Liefeld parts)/Black Tom GW Bridge/Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'd like a Fatal Attractions wave, but I'd go with: Magneto (alt. bearded head) & Adamantium Wolverine Exo-suit Xavier & Moira MacTaggert Acolyte (w/ Cortez and female Acolyte parts) & Acolyte Colossus Acolyte & Exodus As for X-Force, as much as I'd like Black Tom, I think it would work better as a box set: Cable as Stryfe (or something like that) Capullo Sunspot (alt. energy parts) Capullo Warpath Capullo Feral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colossus would have Katu, Delgado, and Kleinstock parts. Beyond that, of course, you could make a handful of the more generic looking Acolytes with spare parts, like Vindaloo and Neophyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Spider Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Ben Reilly Red Suit Jackal with parts to make an updated Scarlet Spider. You'd only need a slipover blue chest block since he'd already have the red arms and legs and a different mask. Miles Warren Jackal (how do we not have him?) the hobgoblin already has the ears that would do the mate justice. 90s Kaine with also battle damaged clone conspiracy Kaine with the half mask and beard. Spidercide? Although I wish he could be 2 1/2 inches obligatory Pete if the rest of this was ever lucky enough to be a wave Female Doc Ock Updated scorpion but I guess we'll most definitely get one at least in the next 3 years or so. Juggernaut? If Vinymates ever get to make large marvel characters... sentinel tri-sentinel mastermold lol civil war gi-ant man  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) All this talk of Acolytes and X-Force completion is making me far more excited than I have any right to be. If DST wants to 'force' me to buy multiple waves, then giving alt heads for a bunch of Acolytes is the way to go. Voght with alt Frenzy & Uniscione heads. Cortez with removable cape and Kleinstock head. Acolyte Colossus with Alt human arms and head for Delgado. Neophyte with Alt Silver bits and Senyaka head (and coils). I realise how angry this would make a large portion of this board... but I don't care. I want Acolytes and I'm not afraid to admit it. *Shields self from barrage of rotten tomatoes* Edited July 12, 2017 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm probably as tired of X-Men as anyone here but I'd be up for a wave that included Acolytes as long as the other waves around it featured different parts of the Marvel Universe.

Mirymate Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Yeah... if the X-Folk get Acolytes, I want me some Lave Men. Just sayin'. You guys got an entire version of the BoEM, I don't have a whole MoE roster yet. Several partial rosters, but none complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) I like the X-Men, but I find even their more prominent 90's enemies pretty forgettable. Beyond Cortez, Exodus, and the one that got a Toybiz action figure (Senyaka? Is "Cargill" Frenzy?), I couldn't really name any of the Acolytes. The Lava Men wouldn't interest me much either, but the Masters are essential. It would be great to get a complete roster or two, especially from versions of the team led by a Zemo.

Nessex Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 With the recent announcement of Toad and of Mastermind, I'm due for a list update myself. Despite my recent ranting for Acolytes, I think it's going to look a little like this now: Lilandra Stryfe Exodus Sebastian Shaw Wasp Penance Strong Guy DeathbirdToad - Medusa. More female characters, damn it! Mastermind - Random. I know i already have a couple of 'never gonna happens', but he'd make such a cool toy.

BuffaloDelorean Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) With Hydra!Cap and Ironheart coming in wave 74, I've been thinking about the modern Marvel costumes and characters I'd like to see in this line. Marvel comics don't have a great reputation at the moment, and while they do put out some pretty subpar stuff, there are still plenty of interesting books and designs. The first priority for me would be completing the roster of Mark Waid's Avengers: Vision, Peter Parker Spider-Man, Hercules, and the new Nadia Pym Wasp. As a bonus, Vision completes the previous ANAD Avengers and represents Tom King's stellar Vision series. The Infamous Iron Man had a guest appearance in Avengers (with a very misleading cover), plus the character's an interesting concept and his costume is a great modernisation of Doom's classic look. Kate Bishop's become a pretty prominent figure in the MU. She first appeared in Young Avengers... which I haven't read, and now she has her own solo series... which I haven't read. I loved her in Matt Fraction's Hawkeye, though, and luckily she's still wearing her outfit from that series. I've only been able to find the first trade of Al Ewing's Ultimates, but what I've read is very good, and it's nice to see Ewing on a book with major characters. I think wave 64's Captain Marvel is close enough to her Ultimates costume, but I'd take Black Panther, Spectrum, Blue Marvel, and America Chavez. Unworthy Thor is a cool look too, and i've heard very good things about the story. Honestly, I'd take the other HydrAvengers too, but Odinson would be my top choice. There are other recent books that I've been enjoying, like Jim Zub's Thunderbolts and Marc Guggenheim's X-Men Gold, but a), I doubt we'd be able to get the full teams, and b), they have other similar looks I'd llike to see first (90's for T-Bolts and non-Bendis Now! for the X-Men).

Yes he's working for Hydra in that costume but I need that sweet relish and mustard cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
