As for reusing that beast buck... Maybe a jackal if he wouldn't be too big. With all the spidey figures they have released we need a jackal cloning all those Parkers.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but if the rumours about the wave after next are true - and Chameleon is one of the figs - then we will at that point have the entire of the classic Spidey villain line-up in MU/MI:

Green Goblin
Sandman
Mysterio
Electro
Doc Ock
Vulture
Chameleon
Kraven

Wait... I forgot that classic Scorpion hasn't seen a decent release. And I'm not sure the Spidey line Lizard counts.

Thoughts?

[samsson37]

I would say the Lizard does...its his classic look. you can't really improve on it as far as I can see.
What is the rumored next wave.. i missed that .

I also want them to do a better Shocker in this scale. I've always put Shocker up there in my top Spidey villains for reasons not entirely clear, really because I thought he looked cool, but I do want a better toy of him for this scale. Especially after the Superior Foes of Spider-Man used him in such an entertaining read. I also still hope for a Carnage and Venom done MU style, but that hope feels fairly crushed by Hasbro's new formula for making these.

[Kernel]

^That shocker was HTF for me, had to do a custom. I don't mind the venom and carnage from the Spider-Man line, even with the limited articulation. Need more symbiotes!

Me too, I cancelled my BBTS order so I need to snag the new ones from HTS. I wonder if the looming longshoreman strike/alleged slowdown has anything to do with the delay. Seems like anything I've ordered overseas has taken forever last few months.

Did you order it from an overseas store? Then it doesn't matter since that comes in air mail.

See, classic Liz looks a little snakey to me, but the Spidey line one looks like a crocodile...

I wasn't sure whether to include Shocker since I was going for his initial golden age run (which I guess Shocker and Rhino were a late part of - Rhino we have). I agree the Spidey one was sub-par (is there are a theme here?) but he kind of works for me, although I'd pounce on a decent redo.

In terms of people like Venom - Spidey line had 2 of him, and Superhero Showdown had a decent one, so I kind of think of him as done, even though - like Shocker and Lizard - I think he needs a decent redo. Though having said that, the way the line's going the artic on these previous versions will be just as good as any redo Hasbro attempt.

In terms of post 60's Spidey villains, is there anyone else that has to be made? Kingpin goes without saying - even as a DD prime villain. Rose maybe? Tombstone? My personal desire is just to see a decent release of Scorpion and maybe Tarantula and then I'd be happy.

After that, I'd like to see them complete Secret Wars with a repainted Shulkie for Titania, and a Molecule Man.

Then maybe a Tigra to complete West Coast Avengers...

Ok. The list could go on and on, but in reality, we are reaaaaally close to being able to complete some classic stuff here.

[kylactus]

post 60's spidey villains and versions that need to be made...
Kane
spider girl/woman (any of the 400 versions you want)
man spider
six arm spidey
peter parker
jack o' lantern
madam Webb
J Johan Jameson
man wolf
Jackal
demogoblin
Hydro man
sleep walker
prowler
silver sable
puma
and about a dozen random symbiotic suits.

[Kernel]

^ I'd pick up all those. Throw in carrion, morbius. Shriek, and doppelganger. I need to make a jack o' lantern, he was brutal in the agent venom books I've been trying to catch up on.

Some stuff from mattycollector and a Chinese ebay seller took a long time Mattel said it had something to do with the shipping ports backlog if I remember the email right.

Oops! Missed the last part of this. The wave after the next is rumoured to be:

B1877 Emma Frost
B1876 Ultron
B1875 Deadpool
B1874 Korg
B1872 Chameleon
B1871 Scarlet Spider

B1871 Scarlet Spider

Deadpool and scarlet spider have started to show up on Chinese sellers ebay stores.

Korg would only require a basic head recast and a few mix and match parts to finish as well.

Hopefully it is classic Chameleon and not headswap Xavier

Ultorn and Emma we already know about so it seems plausible although Korg could go if it meant getting the executioner

[ukmu]

oh no Jimmy... you mentioned Executioner. Now Samsson is gonna blow!!!!!!!

a head swapped Chameleon on the Xavier buck wouldnt be the worst thing. We are ALWAYS in need of suited and booted bucks. I would build some tastey S.H.I.E.L.D. guys if i had 5 or 6 six of those for £7 each from Chinabay! Understand if a lot of people would prefer the classic look though.

ULTRON.....now that is THE gem of the wave!!!! (for me at least) Finally can grab a few for a good price! I myself would like 7 ULTRONS in my collection.

I am sure Emma will get short packed and scalped though.

They all get scalped to death.

But... Ultron is the gem of the wave?! He's been released twice before, and he'll come out in the Avengers series too...

Surely Chameleon and Emma are the gems?

I'm still pissed that Sasquatch hasn't appeared.

Does anyone know anyone who does decent customs for a reasonable price? I'm starting to think a bunch of characters I love will never ever get made, and I have several that I think would be easy customs for those with skillz...

[ukmu]

Marvel Universe Scarlet Spiderman 3.75" Loose Action Figure | eBay

Marvel Universe Super Heros Deadpool 3/4 3.75" Loose Auction Figures ZX308 | eBay

^^^^ here are the ebay listings Jimmy mentioned. Less than £15 shipped for the two.... cant even buy a pizza for that!


I like Ultron as an army builder.... he is a pricey figure! I would be happy with 6 of him and none of the rest to be honest. I dont have any Spidey baddies and just the basic 90's X-Men. Ultron ALL day for me, weird but true.

Jay Pilko...aka PILKSTER here on TA, is a great customizer in the UK and VERY affordable! I got the BATROC two pages back for just 20 shipped. Drop him a line.....Chillz is UK based and top top top notch with a price to match (sometimes) and there are a myriad of people to help you out. JimmyO is here in UK and is getting REALLY good and has tonnes of connections too. Ask around and I am sure you will find a great local UK maker.

I plan on having figures cast in their colours in the future and doing them myself. With the exchange rate the prices are very affordable to have cast for you. That way the joints are the right colour and the hard part is done already! Vort can help you with just about ANY recipe to maximze the look with minimal paint.

[ukmu]

what 5 customs would YOU choose if price were no object.....


1. Jocasta
2. Moondragon
3. Tigra
4. Hellcat
5. Swordsman

is my my top five...... curious as to everyone ele's list?


not most wanted.... just a list of customs

If this is true in any way or form, are we informed at all as to whether this would be the Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider (which would be a straight repack) or is it a repaint of another figure into the new Kaine Scarlet Spider?

Also, I don't know how much I trust those Chinese Ebay listings, those could just be them selling the original versions of those figures and not necessarily any new release of the characters, I don't know why but Deadpool still having his over-sized sai from the XMO line is fishy to me.

This is not necessarily my five most wanted, I'm also looking at what's out (or coming soon) and what could be made fairly reasonably from that. They are all pretty high up on my list though.


1. Polaris - mainly from the Scarlet Witch figure
2. Viper - especially once Emma Frost and Shanna come out, should provide some easier customs.
3. Count Nefaria - From Dr. Strange head I'm assuming, not sure on the body I really know.
4. Justice - I tried to do one from the Angel body but my painting skills suck. I'm sure someone could do better "justice" on it.
5. Graviton - Again using a Dr. Strange head I'd think - but once again not sure on the body.

Bonus figure: Anyone who could make a Shadow King figure would get top dollar since I see it as being one of those impossible to make figures.

[ukmu]

that is true En Sabah...just because they have them doesnt always meanthey are next. That said, they do have the NEXT wave of ML right now with the BAF Thanos and the new ML wave with the BAF Odin is still to arrive (it has landed in a FEW spots) so there is that. They do AT TIMES seem to be a couple steps ahead...... time will tell.

NEXT WEEK AT THIS TIME...... we should know a lot more. NY Toy Fair is just DAYS away now!!!! I have seen this list a couple of times now, who knows, maybe it is legit.

[samsson37]

Just saw everyones post...and thank you UKMU...for giving the intro....*drumroll*
Where is mutha freaking SKURGE !!!!!!!
