Valo487 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I was thinking about a lot of the characters I'd like to see, and since Captain America's death is still pretty recent and still felt throughout the various books, I came up with this: Winter Soldier/Red Skull Crossbones/Sharon Carter New Captain America/Baron Zemo Variant: Punisher Captain America This would more or less fill all the characters in Captain America's area save one or two, and would give us a lot of new characters with the minimum of new parts which AA is big on. With a little creativity most of these could be accomplished with pre-existing parts. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) I was thinking about a lot of the characters I'd like to see, and since Captain America's death is still pretty recent and still felt throughout the various books, I came up with this: Winter Soldier/Red Skull Crossbones/Sharon Carter New Captain America/Baron Zemo Variant: Punisher Captain America This would more or less fill all the characters in Captain America's area save one or two, and would give us a lot of new characters with the minimum of new parts which AA is big on. With a little creativity most of these could be accomplished with pre-existing parts. What do you guys think? As nice as that sounds, i would have to say it's a no-no. For one, i would hate to see cap turn into a Spidey or Iron man situation and get sick of him (though i'll never be sick of Iron man!!!) Plus, the ones that we have are pretty good, and i would hate to see those spoiled by so many. Look at spidey. The original 'mate was amazing(pun intended), and now we've have been dished out ones that just plain suck. I wouldn't want Cap to have that fate since his previous 'mate incarnations have looked so great (side from DVD Cap...) Another thing is popularity. While Cap is an iconic character and so are some of his villains, you have to count for some buyers who would know nothing about the character. Many minimates in the past have been made because of their popularity as characters, which explains our spideys. Art Asylum and DST look for characters that don't recquire buyers to read the back of the box (though most of us do it anyway ) and i feel that some of us would need to with these. Overal thoughts (wow...i sound like i'm reviewing a product that hasn't or might never be released O.o): Nice wave. I agree that it would be great to get some new 'mates. But popularity issues as well as spoiling Cap would be a big downside. Minimates are sellers to little kids just as much as adult fans and us in-betweens. They might just not appear as buyable as some of the other waves already schelduled to come out. This is all personal opinion, so no yelling at me !! Plus, because they're 'mates, i'd buy them anyway !! Edited September 14, 2008 by Twisted Two-Face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymini30 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 sounds a good enough wave but as Twisted two face said, popularity of this wave would be adult collectors only, I'd buy it as i love Cap and the mix seems good Art Asylum...do it........do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I love Cap (he is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite Marvel character), but I think we've had the bases covered with the character in terms of Minimates for a good, long while. However, I agree that Red Skull and Baron Zemo (preferable II) would be nice. And don't forget about Falcon, which was being discussed in another thread recently. I don't care about "new" Cap (who will probably last another 6-9 months before Rogers comes back) or the returning Bucky (stupid), or anyone else that he dealt with, really, apart from the random bad guy like Crossbones or Vermin, or SHIELD enemies like Madame Hydra. . .and maybe Bernie with 80s big hair.

I can dig it. I think Zola would warrant a sculpted "mini" Minimate head, which I would like to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a Nazi and DST doesn't want to go there. But I agree, Cap needs a villain. He has no villains. Hell, if they made Zemo, I'd be happy. At least its someone for him to fight. Right now in MMMU (My Mini Marvel Universe), he's fighting everyone from Ultron (in current times), to the Green Goblin (Still current), to the X-Men (in a DOFP-like future story where the Avengers hunt mutants down along with sentinels and Mr. Fantastic controls it all.)

rx78jj Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I would Love a Red SKull mini. To hell with this Nazi stuff, they made him into a Marvel Legend why not a mini? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I would Love a Red SKull mini. To hell with this Nazi stuff, they made him into a Marvel Legend why not a mini? I think most here want the Red Skull but in the meantime we're getting a caricaturisation of Madonna who famously said that she " would be less controversial if I (she) joined the Nazi party". I guess we'd all demand a C3 Reichstag to be produced if ever it was deemed safe to give us Red Skull ,the 2" monster. Family movies like 'Silence of the Lambs ' & 'Platoon' are fine however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel72 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Another thread that mentions the Falcon. Arghhhhhhh... I just want Snap Wilson aka the Falcon. Can we get some kind of write in campaign or something? Captain America Falcon Modok Red Skull That would be a great set. Did I mention the FALCON?

karamazov80 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Off-topic, but as far as bird-themed superheroes go, I actually want Nighthawk the most in a box set alongside Hellcat, Son of Satan, and Gargoyle. Then Birdman, then Blue Falcon, then regular Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SErge Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 that would pretty cool, but the invaders box set had pretty much a lot captain America, but some of his foes would be awesome, or perhaps alex ross's captain America Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) We really do just need a wave full of Falcon variants: classic Falcon, newer Falcon, Sam Wilson in mayoral campaign suit (or was he running for Congress? City Council?), Sam "Snap" Wilson in pimp outfit, and Blue Falcon. Edited September 17, 2008 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red spade Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I am sure we will probably get a red skull minimate when the CAP movie rolls out in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I am sure we will probably get a red skull minimate when the CAP movie rolls out in 2011. Can I just say that I'm so psyched to see the man in the flag getting a possibly good movie? And its by Marvel Studios which, as far as we've seen, has managed to not screw up the characters (XM3, I'm talking to you! Jesus Christ, the only character that movie did perfectly was Magneto.) Also, Captain America deserves a great movie and America needs a movie like this now. Right now, when patriotism is at its all-time low, we're getting a movie which possibly may remind us why we can say "America...FUCK YEAH!" It's about the time in which patriotism was at its all-time high (In case you didn't know, its going to be all WWII) and if Marvel does its own character justice, (Which they will) you can expect a hell of a film. So basically, of all of the Marvelproperties coming out in the next few years, this is the order of interest for me 1. Captain America 2. The Avengers 3. Iron Man 2 4. Thor (I just get the feeling that this one CAN'T be done that well) I just hope they can find a good actor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
