Valo487 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 We all know one thing when it comes to Minimates.....DST loves Spider-Man. Oh do they love them some Spider-Man. Now, as much as we all lament getting a million versions of one character, I'll give credit where it's due, and DST does do a pretty good job of making the Spider-Mates look good, and we usually get some good supporting cast 'mates out of this lovefest. So I started thinking after a post on the Wave 42 thread, there are a LOT of box sets or waves that could be made featuring Spider-Man while also getting a lot of cool supporting characters out of the deal, so perhaps if there was a thread where suggestions were made, next time the powers that be at DST are jonesing for a Spider-Man fix they could utilize some of our suggestions and get the most out of the situation. A few that came to mind for me were: Clone Saga: New Scarlet Spider (removable mask, Reilly head etc.) Kaine The Jackal Spidercide/Ben Reilly/Clone Spider-Man suit/Scrier/Suit Doc Ock Maximum Carnage: New Carnage Doppleganger Demogoblin Shriek Identity Crisis: (Yeah I know, they're ALL Spider-Man variants, but they also went on to become separate characters) Ricochet Prodigy Dusk Hornet The Gauntlet/Grim Hunt: (Mostly just an excuse to get some new characters, I'm sure they'll throw a Spider-Man in somewhere) Scorpion II Red Vulture Hammerhead Morbius Plus there's at least 25 characters that are Spider-Man related that would work in a Spider-Man series or boxset, what do you guys think?

hellpop Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 This is what I'd want for Identity Crisis: Dr. Light Firestorm Captain Boomerang Zatanna ...what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 What are you talking about hellpop? I don't know where that came from. I mean, if you're doing Identity Crisis, how could you not have one of the slots as Atom or Elongated Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOMac Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I loved the classic Marvel tale Identity Disc. Cannot wait to see the four pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Wow, I thought there'd be more input for this considering all the griping about Spider-Man overload. Guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 No griping from me. Unless it's a Battle Damaged Spidey. But here's some of my suggestions of what I would like to see: Updated Rhino Ultimate Rhino Beetle Grizzly (just because I think the mask is funny) Spot (I loved him from the 90s cartoon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'd be down for a Maximum Carnage set. I've been hankering for Shriek & Doppelganger for ages. D'ganger could serve as the 'Spidey' figure. We'd get 2 new villains (one a female) plus an update on a VERY early minimate. Sounds like pure win to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjasontodd Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Shattered Dimensions pack. All four are Spidey so that minimizes the chance of character exposure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) What are you talking about hellpop? I don't know where that came from. I mean, if you're doing Identity Crisis, how could you not have one of the slots as Atom or Elongated Man? They're in the TRU complimentary pack. Wow, I thought there'd be more input for this considering all the griping about Spider-Man overload. Guess not. I actually liked your ideas... I just couldn't resist getting in a little joke. I just read the "Real Clone Saga" the other day (ironically I've never read the original) and it made me long for the Jackal, which seems pretty easy to do with some Wolverine hair (Lord knows there's enough to choose from...). And I'd like a Scarlett Spider with the hoodie as a separate piece rather then a tampo. Now that 6-armed Spidey's been done, the only Spidey I'd really like to see is Amazing Bag-man. Wouldn't mind an updated Peter Parker, though if there's anyone that wants him that hasn't customized him... for shame. I'd be all over a Slingers set. What a great, short lived comic that was.

lastmaximal Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'd be all over a lot of those suggestions. If they wanted they could even fill a full TRU wave with two-packs of a Spidey outfit or bad guy and a Slinger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 How about a classic 80's Peter Parker The Spectacular Spiderman wave Cardiac Puma Spot Tombstone Blackcat Spidey (insert variant here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'd be really into a Noir Spider-Man and Hammerhead, I'm not sure why, just sounds cool. And I think Puma would look cool as a 'mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddin Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'd like to see a Spider-Hulk with updated Rhino. http://marvel.wikia.com/Galactic_Alliance_of_Spider-Men I just found this so there's probably enough variants to keep us in minimates for quite some time.

Valo487 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 I forgot all about Spider-Hulk, they could probably make one of those now with minimal new parts. And Rhino could definitely stand a tune up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Cardiac would make an awesome 'mate. I'd love to see Spot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 I could see Spot with Negative Zone Spidey, and Cardiac would look really cool. Is he still around in comics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) I seem to remember reading that he was going to appear again sometime in the near future, can't recall when or what title, though I'd assume Spider-Man.
