Along with Viper and Deathstrike we also sorely need: a proper MU Lizard, Avalanche, Pyro, Forge, Polaris, Songbird, Moonstone, Justice, Tigra, Magik, Domino and Cannonball. (I realize 8 of these 15 are X-figures, sue me.) Only after those should they really be looking at more obscure or second-rate or short term characters.

Edit: they really also need to get on making Maximus and Wizard too....

Kingpin requires a complete new sculpt with limited re-use potential. They could possibly use the big MU Buck and do a webgear tux, but the line is so limited right now I can't imagine spending money for any of this tooling.

Also I think the Spider Line Lizard is as good as anything we would get newly sculpted. A re-release of him and Carnage would be welcome.

Maximus would be great.

You know as happy as I'll probably be with Spider-UK it still confuses me how we don't have Superior Spider-Man yet.

Yep. Could even add Iron Spiders arms.

Nothing to apologize for, it's not like you called him a shit-character or anything.

Regarding figures I'd like to see or rather expect to see, I think some more Inhumans are a likelihood. We got teased that Lockjaw back at whatever convention for this scale and Still haven't seen anymore on that so maybe he's on the way with friends especially since the Inhumans have a movie down the line. I'd like a Crystal for sure and then maybe a Gorgon too just to finish out the main royal family but more would be welcome. Hopefully with the movie push more people will recognize the Inhumans as the overall good and typically well written group they are and not just the "alien-X-men" that some cast them off as.

Banshee - How can you make his teammates in a pack and skip him as a single figure?

spade · 02-24-2016, 11:38 AM

Did they ever re-use the buck from Astonishing X-men Beast?

I wished they spent that money on Kingpin.

Prof X and agents of SHIELD use differently styled suits. While SHIELD Agents wear MiB government issued style suits, Prof X is more like "british gentleman" style. In comics Moon Knight wears the type of suit very similar to Prof X, with the tie and vest.

On the plus side TRU did get all the new stuff in. My friend got me all the comic packs.
Iron Man & Cap-Falcon are up for grabs for cost plus shipping.

Nothing at my TRU yet either hopefully soon, they got the single ones fast and restocked once. I don't dare go to walmart haha, but may have too for the comic packs since they're a buck cheaper?

I'm in between you guys cause I don't know the stories of these Marvel Now folks, but at the same time the figures look great :P

Lady Deadpool
Maestro
Spider-man UK
Invincible Iron Man
X-23 Wolverine
Moon Knight
Suited Moon Knight

Why is there another moon knight though with a space MK weird. Just stick to giving us new characters...

ukmu · 02-24-2016, 12:30 PM

Forgot about Lock Jaw being announced. I'm calling it now, SDCC Inhumans set. Most likely with Crystal and Gorgon. I am also calling they will do TWO small three figure sets. One Inhumans and one....maybe Dr Strange? Not sure on the second set.

Also interested in what suit we get for MK. The Joe buck? A new buck? Most likely a Chameleon re-use. We will (MAYBE) see this summer a glimpse. These lists take like 18 months or more if I remember correctly. The Rogue, Vision, Morbius list appeared AGES ago. Do you remember when Autobot Gold? You are the MAN with the first news leak info!

They are waiting for us to drop $100 and wait six months for a Kingpin painted and assembled from Vort. Then they will bring one out!

Over all; new toys still getting made and released = I'm a happy camper.

0/10. Looks nothing like an avocado. ;-]

Though seriously, did they make an unmasked Green Lantern movie head?

Oscarv · 02-24-2016, 02:20 PM

You mean if an avocado had sex with an older avocado

Yep, got mine from the above "test pilot Hal"

deathofthelines · 02-24-2016, 04:03 PM

Cant believe I never got a Reynolds head. Sad part is I saw them but never bought one unmasked

Classic Molten Man could be repainted as a Lava Man.

LordMudd · 02-24-2016, 05:07 PM

My TRU got 3 each of the comic 2 packs, at $19.99. Walmart price $19.87.

CCC.

ukmu · 02-24-2016, 05:14 PM

I think it is his under arm cape thing. How to make THAT work out of rubbery plastic. I would guess going the Spider Woman route, but anyway I can think of would look goofy. Even customs use soft goods, so I'm not sure how'd they solve that issue..... That is my guess as to why we don't have him.

Did Spider-Man Noir ever use a different gun? I don't think I have a revolver but I do have extra Tommy guns from Bucky. Just was wondering if that would work or if that'd be goofy.

HAPPY 900 EVERYONE! Just wish we could start off this number on a higher note. Sad to see some of our most beloved and respected members getting banned from this thread. Let's make the thread even better for them!
