NorthRaider Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Possible future waves remind me of how the previous Minimate waves were released: were all of them tied in with a Specific Marvel comic/movie release or were they sorta random? The release of the Apocalypse minimate didn't seem to coincide with any current comic storylines, but others seemed to (the Captain America/Nick Fury pack seemed to coincide with Civil War while the Havok/Polaris one seemed to lead up to the Vulcan storylines, not to mention the War of Kings lead-up... I could be wrong on any of these, of course) The way I see it, there are three different rationales DST would follow with regards to future waves: 1. A random (or as we would colloquially call it, a chop suey) assortment, which would encompass some of the essential/most prominent Marvel characters of any era. This is the best chance to release those much-wanted classic Spidey villains like Lizard, Vulture, etc, not to mention semi-obscure X-Men like Longshot, Jubilee or Forge (hey, you'll never know) 2. A tie-in with an upcoming Marvel event like a movie or comic crossover. As far as comic crossovers go the two biggest ones would be Dark Reign and War of Kings. Dark Reign would be a nice opportunity to release sets of Dark Avengers or the Dark Illuminati (i.e. The Hood and female Loki), while War of Kings would be a prime time for sets of the Starjammers (including a Lilandra or Rachel Gray minimate), the Inhumans or Vulcan 3. A combination of the two, which would be a good opportunity for the absolutely out-of-left-field WTF sets (think Marvel equivalents of Lobo/Ambush Bug, like... Alpha Flight or something) Either approach works fine as long as they don't go crazy with the ridiculously obscure selections... I would probably hate getting a girl Loki before even getting a classic Avengers character like Falcon or Black Widow. And DST would be crazy not to release Inhumans minimates in time for War of Kings (the Wolverine Origins wave looks like a good sign that DST has finally learned its lesson with regards to release dates) Edited January 25, 2009 by NorthRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murderofcrows Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 for some reason, I have a feeling we are going to see a hercules minimate this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I wonder if DST will have any prototypes of any Marvel waves beyond wave 27 at this years NYCC. It'd be nice to see some controll art at the very least. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 does he com wit a mask?

That was Rumsfeld, wasn't he? But I thing Cap also mentioned something like that during Civil War, being a basic military strategy: keep the unknown-unknows to a minimum. Am I wrong? Is this some kind of unkown-knowing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 for some reason, I have a feeling we are going to see a hercules minimate this yearWell, they just released Skaar... It wouldn't be completely out of DST's capacity to release another barbarian-looking minimate. And who let the troll in? I though Secret Invasion was over...

Mystery Man Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 for some reason, I have a feeling we are going to see a hercules minimate this year Shite, do I hope so! A Hercules would go great with the Thor and Loki. Now just throw a Destroyer in there to whet our appetietes for a full-on Classic Kirby Thor wave! Oh, how I dream!

Punisher Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Welcome to the forum "the corrupt indian" Yeah, SERIES 27 will have COMIC DEADPOOL. Don't forget however, that SERIES 26 will have MOVIE DEADPOOL. Comic deadpool WILL HAVE A MASK. Movie Deadpool MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A MASK. (DST has given us surprise accessories in the past) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Let's talk about how MOVIE BLOB has a slush and how COMIC BLOB (if and when they release him) needs to come with a can of beans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I kind of like the team concepts out there. Inhumans or Eternals would top my lists for the next wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both visually dynamic groups of characters by KIRBY! I'm for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 We need anything Inhumans, Thunderbolts (hell I'd even take the Dark Avengers) or more cosmic characters. God... we more subjects to talk about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murderofcrows Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 A new black panther seems like a no brainer... but dont count my opinion....all I want are Avengers and Villians..

I'd rather just have Avengers related characters. Kang would be so sweet but so would Crossbones, The Executioner, The Destroyer, Zemo, Grim Reaper, Attuma, Enchantress, Annihilus, Mephisto, Batroc the Leaper... I could go on and on.
