Can't wait for a Fantomex. So much this line needs to do.

[snake5289]

I'd really like a Lady Deathstrike and Omega Red to go up against Wolverine.

Yeah there's still a lot of characters left to do, especially with classic villains.

[SoundWave88]

We definitely need more villians. Super-villian to minion. Its getting 3 to 1 on my shelf, and I don't want to fill it in with ONLY army builders (AIM, Hydra, Hand).

For other areas, I'd use clear nail polish to add thickness to the joints.

Thanks! Much better!

Looks for a soldier, leader and chariot driver for these mysterious aliens.

As for the MU proper, there's a LOT we've already seen for 2012...as well as a sneak into 2013...but here are a few more that are "in the works"

- If you like big furry guys, then you are in puck, because there's one great beast that's sure to please, eh?

- Another fur-covered hero is making his action figure debut, using some familiar parts.

- Another "House" 2-pack? it's possible...but I'm inclined to think a pair of familiar heroes are perhaps more astonishing than we've seen before, especially since one of them has updated his costume since the last time he had an action figure.

- Look for another shot at ol' jadejaws, but now with a friend of ol' marvel!

- there's an upcoming variant that you might not be able to see clearly, because you're vision may be oFF.

- Finally, the last team-up I've hood about is odd, because I can't recall if these two have ever actually met before! Someone will be punished if this doesn't work!

OH, and don't you think it's time we got some proper vehicles in this line? It hopefully won't be long now...

[bmorr]

wheres the source of that info? and why is this guy being annoyingly vague?

[wolverine2281]

I suppose you've never heard of Dan Curto. He has always been an "inside guy" for Hasbro and for years has given us hints about upcoming MU figures. most, if not all, of which were true.

oh, source is rebelscum.

Also the last surprise he gave us was when he posted

Captain America & the Falcon (Captain America)
Dr. Strange & Silver Surfer (Defenders)

as the new 2 packs on his checklist before they were announced

[NoodleChow]

yeah, i always dug curto since i felt he was the unofficial voice of the hasbro team. love the forum speculation that tends to follow.

[SH0CKWAVE]

if anyone wants to do the footwork and decipher his insinuations, i'm sure more than a few of us would "appreciate" it.

[mikefavata]

Well at least Curto's talking as if Marvel Universe isn't ending.

he's only reiterating what many of us have been regurgitating for what seems like forever now.

Here's my best guesses, feel free to adjust:

Pretty cut and dried here. I still think they will be very "Skrull like" in appearance even if they do not shape shift.

As for the MU proper, there's a LOT we've already seen for 2012...as well as a sneak into 2013...but here are a few more that are "in the works"

- If you like big furry guys, then you are in puck, because there's one great beast that's sure to please, eh?

Sasquatch! Yess! (Looks for the Wendigo and Man-Thing retools)

- Another fur-covered hero is making his action figure debut, using some familiar parts.

Calling this a hero, so I think it's not a Wendigo reference. Another Beast perhaps?

- Another "House" 2-pack? it's possible...but I'm inclined to think a pair of familiar heroes are perhaps more astonishing than we've seen before, especially since one of them has updated his costume since the last time he had an action figure.

Astonishing in the reference points to mutants....



- Look for another shot at ol' jadejaws, but now with a friend of ol' marvel!

Jade: Green, jaws: ?

Some gamma powered figure here, hopefully Abombination...

- there's an upcoming variant that you might not be able to see clearly, because you're vision may be oFF.

Not see clearly, oFF: Clear Invisible Woman!

- Finally, the last team-up I've hood about is odd, because I can't recall if these two have ever actually met before! Someone will be punished if this doesn't work!

Punisher/Moonknight? Who else has a prominent hood for his costume? Maybe Ant-Man will be single packed and MoonKnight/new Pun will be a two pack.

OH, and don't you think it's time we got some proper vehicles in this line? It hopefully won't be long now...

Prof X's wheelchair, lol.

With Avengers coming maybe a comic series SkyCycle for Barton?

[wolverine2281]

Jade jaws is a nickname of the Hulk. The Punisher 2 Pack seems like it is actaully going to be with the Hood

[BigHanksCustoms]

Haha! I guess "hood" was a bit too obvious for me.

We also need Pyro, Avalanche, Swordsman, Cannonball, Sunspot, and, last but not least, Jarvis!

[shortysben]

Anyone even have pre-orders for wave 18 yet?

only some shady stores but they don't have ETA's either

[skier352]

The Astonishing hint is probably colossus (juggernaut) and hopefully Emma Frost.

[wolverine2281]

Thats what I was thinking too, how ya been N? your legends collection is getting REAL strong! would be hard for me to keep those bad boys all wrapped up...ha

[Jason Abbadon]

A clear Invisible woman would easily re-build into both Emma Frost in diamond form and with some clear Tamiya yellow- Photon!
Triple score! And I'd be abl to use that great Sue Storm head for other customs!

Yeah- I'll be stocking up on those when they come out, baby!

Scored a loose Avengers animated line Ultron (from the old terrible animated series) and some interesting preying mantis dude from some Tarzan line today- both for $5!
Suprisingly good articulation on the Ultron, frankly

Add to figs that need to be made- Crystal, Ronan, Ikon, Quasar, Moondragon Gamora, Mantis, Baron Zemo, Baron Strucker, Grin Reaper, Red She-Hulk, Titiania, Moonstone, Mr. Myde, Fixer(villan versions), , Protector, Maria Hill, Banshee, Ares, Count Nefaria, Madame Masque, Power Pack, All the Agents of Atlas, All the Thunderbolts, All of Avengers Academy, Vemon (awesome Flash Thompson version!), Nova corps guy (the kid from A vs. X), Hope, Box, Danger, All the New Mutants, classic Beast and Wonderman, Cloak & Dagger, Silver Sable, All the Runaways, Super Skrull, Vulcan, Hybrid, Dire Wraiths, Kree soldiers, Phyla Vell, Loki (awesome new version!), Damian Hellstorm, Doctor Strange (current variant), Hellcat, Black Cat, Scorpion, Doc Ock (current version), Photon, Justice, Trickshot, Chang Chi, Modok (new version with legs!), Stardust, Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch and new Female versions), The Serpent, Odin, Sin, Valkerie, Quake, Stonewall, Phobos, Hellwhip, Druid, Gorgon, Viper, Nick Fury, Abagail Brand, Marvel Girl (Rachel), Polaris, Grandmaster, Collector, Controller, Hyperion, AoA Sabertooth, Morph, Sersi, Blizzard, Lilandra, Makkari, Shroud, Ikaris, Misty Knight, Paladin, Coleen Wing, Living Lazer, Brood, Blob, Avalanche, Pyro, All the Maraduders.....

Really, that should keep the line going for a little while longer.

Oh! I almost forgot! Spider-Man and Wolverine!
