The guys on the Forum have kindly run a costume poll for Moonstone and Moonstar and and here are the results...
Which costume do you want Moonstone made in?
Masters of Evil look
36% [ 53 ]
Original Thunderbolts look 4% [ 6 ]
00's Thunderbolt costume
4% [ 6 ]
Modern Thunderbolts look 56% [ 84 ]
"One of the interesting suggestions about this poll was doing Moonstone in her current costume but holding the helment of her original costume as this is a character that seems to be caught inbetween herself."
(I like the idea that she could be standing on her old helmet (battle-damaged/cracked) in a similar way to the DC Lobo figure - Dan).
Which Mirage/Moonstar costume choice would you like Dani to sport in the CMFC?
Her Original New Mutants Costume 11% [ 16 ]
Her graduation uniform 0% [ 0 ]
Her New Mutants early X-Force look 1% [ 1 ]
Her XLE look 13% [ 18 ]
Her X-Force rejoined costume 6% [ 8 ]
Her Academy X - New X-Men look 1% [ 2 ]
Her Young X-Men uniform 21% [ 30 ]
Her Dark Reign kick-ass Valkyrie look 6% [ 9 ]
Her modern X-Men "New Mutants" uniform 41% [ 59 ]
"With Danielle - having the bow and arrow seemed to be an overall consensus for the character."
(Yes I would love her to have the Bow, and I am happy to bow to the greater good of her new New Mutants look - Dan).
I'm actually very happy about the results, but I'll discuss with the EM team nearer the commissioning date on what actual costumes and poses the figurines will take.
Next up we have for your delictation a rather spiffing Swordsman (early rough stage sculpt).
As always there are changes afoot already with this chap - chiefly his sword and scabbard look a tad too long. I did want him running, but there are difficulties in going down that road so I think the stoic standing pose really works in this case.
Here are the latest stages in the covers production line...
First the Wizard stages from John McCrea:
I think the final colours look really groovy!
Final colours for Blackheart and Beetle:
Winners I'm sure you'll all agree!
Andy Tong's Karnak sketches in today...
We went for the super dynamic second one (showing what Karnak does best - hitting things very hard!)
For Puppet Master's cover I went with this Kirby classic re-coloured by the legendary Alan Craddock (see last pic):
And now because you demanded it - 2 of the greatest villains yet to be included in the CMFC....
Hammerhead:
The Owl:
Have a great weekend.
Dan

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 284 of 284I'm with Kal on confirming Shaman. He's got to be one of the last 6. He's the last of the "must-haves" for Alpha Flight. Let's get him done and have the most impressive Alpha Flight display of ANY collection!
...Then I can start campaigning for Vindicator. ;)
Wow.....final 6 EM choices.
Ideally I would like to see....
Shaman - Alpha Flight member and the next logical choice to get the slot. With N+A most likely a doublepack it means Shaman should get picked.
Trapster - Completes the Frightful Four and is the F4 slot for the extension.
Howard - Curveball. Enough ahs been said on this subject.
Jewel - Another modern Avenger character but she is one of the most prominant of the newbies.
Vance Astro - GOTG member. Let's get a rep in for this team. Links the old and new versions of the team so should please all.
Count Nefaria - Not had a pure Avengers villain this extension and this guy fits the bill perfectly.
I reeeally hope Trapster makes the next 6.
I like Psycho-Man more. Others will say Diablo. But Trapster is just NEEDED. I can wait for the others. Trapster completes a nice little set, has the history and is a great character.
Here's a breakdown of Dan's old list. Remember that this was just put together to form some type of balance, but is not a strict guide. Dan also said that if N&A were a Double Pack, they'd CONSIDER another one, like Shaman, but its not guaranteed either.
1 asgardian:
Hela
1-3 modern:
Wiccan
2/3 x-men:
Mirage
Sebastian Shaw
Longshot
1/2 avengers:
Swordsman
1/2 cosmic:
Firelord
2/3 villains (spidey/FF/etc)
Hammerhead
Owl
And I don't know where Moonstone fits in. I think Thunderbolts has enough of its own following and is its own thing enough to be its own category.
That leaves 6 characters and 6 groups (with the GA category likely gone for this extension.)
1 alpha flight
1 horror
1 curveball
1 alt. universe?
1 marvel knights
1 golden age?
So...
AF: Shaman
Curveball: Howard the Duck
Alt. Universe: Vance Astro
MK: Brother Voodoo
If GA is being cut, then Horror should too. There's more support for GA than Horror (I mean, come on, Jim Hammond vs... Simon Garth is probably the most wanted Horror...) Give the last 2 to Trapster and High Evolutionary. Using Vance as a double for Alt. and Cosmic, and then Trapster and High Evolutionary to expand the Villain and Avengers categories (which people have been VERY adamant about getting) balances the extension pretty nicely.
Or just make the last 6 all Cosmic and Spidey. I'd be more than fine with that too. ;)
John,
Pesonally I would prefer Horror before GA...
Frankensteins Monster
Werewolf by Night
Simon Garth
Scarecrow
Satanna
Lilith
or as you said 6 cosmics, i could live with that :)
I hope Dan hasnt forgotten that Drac's hair needs fixing, and Swordsman lacks any character in the sculpt.
Also the wizard artwork needs reworking but its probably too late.
man all this talk of the controversial character has seemed to slow time. I really wanna know who it is, but its only Wednesday! :(
And I just know whoever it is I will most likely complain about it. Apologies in advance. But will we get an announcement, or a sculpt?
How about Doop? *shudder*
What if its a character thats already been done, in a different costume? Like Giant-Man, Bucky Captain America, Stever Rogers etc.
I really wanted, a character that has already been done, and now with a new uniform, such as: Jean Grey in her mini skirt Marvel Girl, or Ms. Marvel in Warbird costume, for example. This would really be controversial. hehehe
By the way: Warbird is a cosmic character.
I thought we already got Ms.Marvel in her Warbird outfit (#76)? or is there another one, outfit that is and not the original?
Isn't Binary the cosmic version?
Have a look at this Fellas....
SDCC 2011: Conan the Barbarian Red Band Clip
Looking forward to this.
There really is only 5 since the sixth is a male controversial figure which could be Howard T.Duck or God Forbid the disco Beyonder so I'm hoping for 5 villains & I'm really hoping WHIRLWIND & ATTUMA do make it in. I know many want to round out the Frightful Four with TRAPSTER. I would like another Spidey villain & since Dan the Man said THE JACKAL would be in the next extension if there was a next extension & I really, really hope the powers that be at EM do several more extensions then TOMBSTONE, MOLTEN MAN & JACK O'LANTERN lead the pack for me. I agree SHAMAN should be in this extension but the poll on the forum shows the top 3 to be WOLFSBANE, SILVER SAMURAI & SHAMAN so he is in if that poll holds. That leaves just one & I'm torn BARON MORDO or COBRA or MR. HYDE or THE MELTER or BLIZZARD or CONSTRICTOR or STILT-MAN. Some have mentioned the HIGH EVOLUTIONARY who is not high on my list but would make a nice looking figure. If they want a female villain PRINCESS PYTHON, QUICKSAND, DEATHBIRD, SELENE, DIAMOND LIL.
Saw the last HARRY POTTER & enjoyed it though it was bittersweet.
Next up CAPTAIN AMERICA opens here Friday the 22nd.
The word is "handles".
Firstly , I'd like to welcome back Robert. Have you been on holiday ?
If so , I hope that you and your family had a nice time.
I too would have preferred Moonstone in her masters of evil costume with the helmet. We seem to share the same taste when it comes to costume choices and some characters too !!
Right , next up :
Looking at the characters so far for this extension I have chosen the ten characters that I'd like to see added to this.
So far we have -
Sebastian shaw - X men villain
Firelord - F/four villain
Hela - Avengers villain
Wiccan - Avengers hero
Longshot - X men hero
Swordsman - Avengers hero
Mirage - X men hero
Moonstone - Avengers villain
Hammerhead - Spiderman villain
Owl - Marvel knights villain
Basically I've gone for two villains and two heroes from each of the main five marvel groups using the characters chosen so far by eaglemoss and some choices of my own.
Here they are ..............
X-men :
Sebastian shaw - villain (EM)
Vertigo - villain (MT)
Longshot - hero (EM)
Mirage - hero (EM)
Avengers :
Hela - villain (EM)
Moonstone - villain (EM)
Wiccan - hero (EM)
Swordsman - hero (EM)
Fantastic Four :
Firelord - villain (EM)
Trapster - villain (MT)
Ms Marvel(Sharon Ventura)-hero(MT)
Thundra - hero (MT)
Spiderman :
Hammerhead - villain (EM)
Tombstone - villain (MT)
White Tiger - hero (MT)
Solo - hero (MT)
Marvel Knights :
Owl - villain (EM)
Jigsaw - villain (MT)
Clea - hero (MT)
Paladin - hero (MT)
I hope that you all like my ideas , here's hoping ..............
Victor :
We already have Ms Marvel in her Warbird costume !!
Sorrry, my mistake.
I mean Binary
It would be absurd to include Howrad the Duck before tr High Evolutionary. The High Evolutionary has been around since 1966, and has been prevalent throughout the years since and has been a player up to today. Howard the Duck was introduced in the late '70s and was a satirical character with no powers and isn't even in comics today.
So please include the HIGH EVOLUTIONARY in the next ten figurines! :0)
Once again I'm with Tino, give us Whirlwind and Trapster please! Tino, your Spidey wants is identical to mine! Jackal, Tomstone, Molten Man and Jack O'Lantern are my top Spidey wants too, closely followed by the Spot, Demogoblin, Madame Web, Alistair Smythe, Kaine and Tinkerer.
As for Avengers, I know my main want is Whirlwind but there are so many more good choices too, US Agent, Count Nefaria, Baron Von Strucker, Mantis, Crossbones etc. So many choices it could be anyone!
Still have my fingers crossed that Dr. Strange or/and Punisher get a villain in this extension and give us Baron Mordo or Jigsaw.
Word verification is 'ploppi'.
SV
Ken, Howard is currently appearing as a main character in Fearsome Four, a Fear Itself miniseries/tie-in (with Nighthawk, She-Hulk & Frankenstein's Monster).
Still two days... I can't wait for Friday update.
Thank you, MT. I also appreciate the efforts that you and John have gone to in compiling what we already know about the new extension and trying to deduce who may be next.
For me, the most noticeable modern Avenger character who is missing is U.S.Agent. The costume was at the heart of a major Cap storyline, worn first by Steve Rogers in his guise as the Captain when John Walker became Captain America, and then by Walker as the U.S.Agent. In this costume he was a member of the West Coasters for the majority of their history and he's also had at least two mini-series of his own (although admittedly not all in the classic costume). Can't see how he can be ignored for much longer. If he's not in this extension, I'd fully expect him to be in the next (if we get it, of course). Given a choice, I'd maybe go with Mantis instead, but I can't build a strong case for choosing her over the Agent.
Looking at suggestions made over the last few days I'd particularly welcome Trapster, Diablo, the High Evolutionary, Whirlwind, Molten Man and Stegron.
Information regarding Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 here guys.
I don't know if you've heard yet but Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is in the works, with the character roster going from 38 from the previous game to 50 in this new game.
According to a 'leak' I've seen, the characters seem to be revealed already. Look away now if you don't want to know who's in.
First of all, the DLC characters from the first game, Jill and Shuma-Gorath will be included in this game. For Capcom, there's Strider Hiryu, Firebrand, Phoenix Wright, Vergil, Frank West and Nemesis. For Marvel, there's Hawkeye, Ghost Rider, Dr. Strange, Nova, Iron Fist and.....Rocket Raccoon!? Gotta admit, I had my opinions who would appear but I did not expect the raccoon!
I've already seen vids of Hawkeye, Ghost Rider, Firebrand and Strider Hiryu in action so this leak could be true. Hawkeye and Ghost Rider look amazing though! Hawkeye's special attack even has Ant-Man riding on one of his arrows, jumps off to attack your opponent before turning himself giant to stomp on your opponent! Needless to say my jaw had just dropped followed by a side order of 'Whoa!'
SV
Hey SV, s you might remeber i wasn't too happy with MvC3, don't like paying £40 for a game then expected to pay £2.00 a pop ,for "extra" characters.
If this ultimate version comes out budget priced ,then mibbe, i'll give it a look,.When you said Firebrand was in the roster i was genuinely excited, A great curveball character. Iron Mans old enemy. But......it's naw him...ah well.
Cap on Friday.......Our favourite prophylactic
oh yeah , thanks for the update Dan.
two great additions to the extension.
Now for a moan !!
I bought Sauron the other day and i think that we were ripped off !!
although i liked the general look of the sculpt I was disappointed with the size. He was too small and at that size could have been a regular , so why did we have to lose a special slot and also pay a larger price ? Also , if you look at the picture of him on the main site his wings are green on the top and look grey underneath , so why is it that with the Sauron figurine that i got his wings are green on top and bottom ?
Oh no , looks like I'm turning into LAWay lol.
SV, are you serious?! Don't get my hopes up like that! I read through every name you listed and was "meh, I'll stick with the first one for now" until you revealed that last name...
OMG, if that's true... :D
Would this face lie to you John?...Ok I see the problem with that question but that's what I've seen. Not only have I read about this leak but I have also seen artwork for these characters that looks pretty identical to the artwork for the original 38 characters. So it looks promising buddy.
I'm still undecided if I will get this straight away yet. I think I'll wait and see what the price is like first. But then again it's my birthday in exactly 1 week so who knows, I may have some birthday money to spend :)
SV
So one controversial, then second should be one of most wanted.
Howard the Duck and Shaman for this Friday.
And agree with SinisterVenom we need Baron Mordo and Jigsaw in this extension, so this duo for next Friday.
SV - THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!
Hit me up with a link bro! Is that fresh news from San Diego? Heard Lego have done a deal with Marvel too, so expect aload of marvel lego figures as well as marvel lego games.
New spider-man trailer online too.
http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/167923-the-teaser-trailer-for-the-amazing-spider-man
EM's six? Here's my guess...
Shaman - Alpha
Hyperion - Alternate universe
Werewolf by Night - Horror
Howard the Duck - curveball
White Tiger/Grey Gargoyle - Marvel Knights
Vance Astro - Cosmic (instead of GA)
Wish we were seeing Clea instead of a pure horror character though.
Already thinking about my competition pick.
I am sooo excited now. I bet he has a big move involving Groot.
SV, I believe I read its out November 15th for $39. So about the same as a Double Pack of Rocket Raccoon and Groot would be. ;)
This would just improve Rocket's chances in the CMFC, right???
Nice teaser trailer from the new Spidey movie there, let's hope it won't be long before they release trailers and screenshots on the Lizard eh?
I have two links for you. The first is a vid announcing UMVC3 and showing Hawkeye, Ghost Rider, Firebrand and Strider Hiryu in action:
http://youtu.be/YVazwUaMJBc
And the next is a link to the page showing artwork of the other 8 characters, including our favourite raccoon ;)
http://www.pcworld.com/article/236098/ultimate_marvel_vs_capcom_3_announced_full_roster_leaked.html
Chances are this could boost Rocket Raccoon's popularity amongst those that don't know him well so he may be more likely to make CMFC but then again, Shuma-Gorath was in both the second and third game and we still don't have him yet. All I can say is let's keep our fingers crossed!
Word verification is 'medly'.
SV
How does EM pick which Marvel characters to make in every extension? Is there a set quota for each superhero/villian group? Or some other formula?
PS. High Evolutionary should be in the next ten!
Breaking loose from categories
Personally, now that the CMFC is 200 figs deep into the Marvel Universe, I don't feel that it's still necessary to use a rigid category approach (cosmic, Asgard, X-verse, Spider-Man, etc). A scientific taxonomy is becoming more and more unfeasible, especially as many characters have significant cross-category history.
Sure, a few characters can be clearly defined by category. But with the vast majority of them, the lines are blurred. What's more, each reader has his own 'MU history & geography' in his mind. Character association has more to do with the stories we've read, how we remember and connect them.
Uncategorised beauties!
While I praise the effort to create a balanced mix, personally
I wouldn't cry scandal if the collection included 6 cosmics and no horror characters, for example. Each cosmic character is more than just a cosmic. And many characters from non-specifically-horror areas can be labelled as horror. And so on. Just give me iconic, conceptually awe-inspiring, interesting, awesome characters!
I agree with KE on the set formulaic approach to picking figurines. We should pick characters not based on which group they're from but the history of the character. Thus the High Evolutionary should be in the next ten! His history is as rich and widespread as any character in the Marvel Universe.
High Evolutionary all the way!!! :0)
I meant I dont like the set formulaic approach :0)
I'd love to see the High Evolutionary and also the Grandmaster in the collection.
These are characters who operate in the MU with immense scope, and have played pivotal roles. They are quite simply a must-have.
Controversial male character : STEGRON THE DINOSAUR MAN
then
WHIRLWIND
then
ATTUMA
then
BARON MORDO
then
TRAPSTER
then
THE COBRA or MR. HYDE
SV, I love you. Here's a virtual hug... *hug*
I disagree about the categories. We have to have some way to separate which characters are chosen to bring balance. It doesn't have to be very rigid, obviously, especially with characters like Moonstone and Fixer who fit into the... Thunderbolts category, which tends to not be thought of as a category. But as a HUGE Cosmic fan, I will say that 5 Cosmic characters in an extension of 20 is too many (for example.) Not everyone reads Cosmic stories and its not fair to other genres.
Even if I want them all, it doesn't make sense to add Trapster, Psycho-Man, Maximus, Diablo and Red Ghost in 1 extension. I love all of them, and they all have the history, but that leaves too little room for the other books.
Balance of the MU is what we should strive for.
This doesn't mean we have to pigeon hole a character like High Evolutionary into a given category, when he tends to travel across books. It just means a basic logic of not having too many characters that are Obviously X-Characters or Obviously Avengers characters, etc.
I have to agree with John. Can you imagine the arguments on here if we didn't have some structure to the picks in an extension? Doesn't bear thinking about...
Ok, so Rocket Raccoon gets a Marvel Universe action figure and is in Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom.
I put my hands up. Maybe he is more popular than I thought, and I welcome him to the collection if thats what people want.
Shocked that only 12 new characters are making it into the game, and none of them are actual 'Ultimate' versions of Marvel characters despite the branding logo.
Also keep the catergory system. While it has its weaknesses, if there was no formula, people would rage getting too much of one area and not enough of another.
Maybe the catergories should be placed to a a vote rather than characters. We vote on how many figurines we want from each category for the next extension and average it out.
I remeber when MvC3 came out, You planned on waiting fer the "gold" version of the game Leigh.Which is exactly what this Ultimate version is .The original game plus all DLC. Such was the scale of peoples pissedoffness with Capcom they quit trying to flog any more downloadable characters, And saved them for the Ultimate pack, it's budget priced, so i may have forgiven the thievin tinkers by then.
Oh.Pirate Adam, me old sea dog, i aint been online since i crimped me cable.Aaaaaaaaaar!! ( caught it in me zipper)
Hope to get a new cable at the weekend, then we can enjoy Toy Story 3 multyplayer ;)
Yes KE! We need the High Evolutionary in the extension!
How can we rightfully discuss adding Stegron before the High Evolutionay? :-/ I think he pales in comparison to HE.
Dan has already pretty much said that the Beyonder will never be made. With that revelation it makes me question why I should continue to support a product when there is a zero chance of seeing a character that does deserve a place in this collection.
I believe the controversial character that will be revealed will be another civilian character since there was quite an uproar when J. Jonah Jameson was announced.
I am very happy that classic characters like Hammerhead and Owl are going to be made. Hopefully there will be more old school villains to come.
Dan has poo pooed, all my wants,He publicly mocked Ulysses Bloodstone, He dismissed Poofters Froth Wyoming,and cocked a snoop at
Chesty longlips.
Tomorrow i want to feel loved ,Is that a python in your pocket Dan?,or are you just glad to see me?????
Yeah, and i suppose Squirrelpool is a silly idea too???
Am ditching this collection Di Agostini are doing Lewis Hamiltons 2008 world title winning McClaren, a plastic replica complete in 85 issues (£7.99 per issue).
They won't take me fer granted :(
I'm surprised Dan said that the Beyonder won't get made. That must have happened during my absence. Did he give any reasons?
Dan said the Beyonder was a marmite character. That was his reason.
Thanks, Travis.
The thought does occur, however, that if the "controversial" character Dan mentioned does indeed turn out to be Howard, as many suspect, then that would be the epitome of a Marmite character.
Tomorrow's update is going to be very, very interesting...
I rather see a Marvel civilian than Howard the Duck! If it won't be High Evolutionary, then I don't know what character EM is waiting for. If it must be a civilian, then I would vouch for Mary Jane or Betty Ross or General Ross!
But please PLEASE consider HIGH EVOLUTIONARY in the next ten figurines! He's an A-list character (and porbaby the last few A list characters left) for gawd's sake!
John Carter begat Flash Gordon who begat Star Wahs, Now, i'm the first to concede this lineage is a shower of shite compared to sILVER sable's, ut may..beee just mibbe this is the big reveal......it better be good .Mince will not be tolerated
If it must be a civilian, then I would vouch for Moira MacTaggert!
Cross-category cases
Yes, of course we need to achieve a good balance between the various MU areas. I just don't want category labels to be attached to cross-category characters like High Evolutionary, and I don't want those arbitrary labels to be used as reasons for the exclusion of a character. Some major Marvel characters are truly uncategorisable, and should be judged simply on their importance. Certainly not excluded because they're a bit cosmic or a bit avengers villain or a bit marvel knight.
"Some major Marvel characters are truly uncategorisable." Not sure about that. Who are you thinking of, Blake?
May I just say that I love Squirrelpool and must have one.
Pray tell where can I acquire one Mr Sallis?
I think a range of assorted 'pools should be made.
Catpool, Pigpool, Mingepool etc.
PS Ted you are very tallented with those mosiacs. Very nice work.
Moira McTaggart......heh,,,..yeah i'll vouch for Moira,......Never knew she was in comics.
Amalagam series 2 is in the effing, This time ye mix up Marvel charachters, like Dr Doom/Silver Surfer..will become Dr Surfer or Silver Doom,
Can't wait fer
Long Thing( longshot-man-thing)
Man Man (spider-man-power-man)
Ballage (Cannonball-Rage)
Hey DP, far as i remember the Squirrelpool's were a SDCC exclusive, I think they were selling at around $30.00...bloomin bargain..dunno what they will be flogged at on ebay?? No doubt something extortionate.
Don't let me keep you from the Python,I'm counting on you to swing it for me ....oh er!!!!
Dr. Moira Kinross MacTaggert (sometimes spelled MacTaggart, McTaggart, or McTaggert).
"Some major Marvel characters are truly uncategorisable." Not sure about that. Who are you thinking of, Blake?
Robert, think about a character like Speedball. He's not really Avengers or MK. He's just... New Warriors. Fixer would have been considered Avengers before Thunderbolts, but that's where his popularity is and why he would get made. He's just a Thunderbolts. Shaman has no more to do with X-Men than Ka-Zar. These aren't "X-Allies," they're Alpha Flight and Savage Land.
Someone who fights on the streets or uses magic is MK (a strange pairing, but somehow seems to make sense. Then there's Avengers, Spidey, FF/Cosmic, and X-Men. But as we went further down the line, some categories had to be made just to give characters a place (Modern, Horror, Golden Age, and Alternate Reality in this extension...)
Heh. Embarrassing bodies have a film crew up at the fistavel,
Dan...pleaswe announce Howard the Duck. I am so sick of hearing about him. Say it so we can get on with the real characters,,,,and people say I pushed for Power Pack too much > Howard is the most unworthy campaigned for character EVER!!!!
But I still will buy him :)
Dan...please announce Howard the Duck. I am so sick of hearing about him. Say it so we can get on with the real characters,,,,and people say I pushed for Power Pack too much > Howard is the most unworthy campaigned for character EVER!!!!

Speedball
Shaman
Warlock (new Mutant)
I am going to start a champaign for Obnoxio the Clown he is just as ridiculus as others people want...maybe thats who i'll pick if I win the contest....or Amadeus Cho
kissynose : please respect other people's character choices. Calling them ridiculous is harsh. We have put up with you constantly campaigning for the power pack. I don't want them personally but i'm not about to call your choices ridiculous. Howard the duck is not on my most wanted list but i'd still buy him and be happy for his fans too. We can't all get what we want unfortunately. We just have to be patient. Those characters that we all require will gradually come. Eaglemoss do their best to try and keep everyone happy and i admire them for that.kissynose : please respect other people's character choices. Calling them ridiculous is harsh.

I don't really see the difference between calling a character ridiculous while EM staff members refer to others as marmite.
It's still bad talking about someones favorite character.
Some poeple just don't care about or think about others feeling.
Marvel comics is more than just one character or one team. So not everyone is going to love every charcter announced. But calling chracters names doesn't do any but upset other collectors who like that character.
I'm not a fan of the Howard the Duck comic, but I see no reason to say anything bad about him. I wouldn't say a character that has been around for 30 years is unworthy. He must have a good following for Marvel to still use him from time to time.
If Howard is announced tommorow then I'm happy for those fans. At least they are going to get a character they want. Something I guess I will never see.
We need the High Evolutionary in the next ten figures! He would enrich the collection!
Howard the Duck ad High Evolutionary. 2 perfect choices.
And in Dan's defense, Howard IS a marmite character. He didn't say he doesn't like Howard or he's unworthy, he said he splits fans between groups that love him and those that hate him. Like marmite.
Even my Agents of Atlas, he worded it as there being too many other characters to add first. And I can respect that. He didn't say Jimmy Woo should never make it in the CMFC.
EM has been very good at being respectful.
...actually, Dan, with the announcement of Rocket Raccoon in MvC3, how about confirming my most wanted character? :) You were just a bit late with the MODOK announcement. Let's time this one better. ;)
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Howard the Duck as the curveball choice and Trapster or High Evolutionary as the other 'normal' choice please.
However, I think Dan has a surprise up his sleeves.
Thanks for the explanation, John. I wasn't sure who Blake meant.
I think I got stuck at "major character". That's why neither Speedball or Fixer occurred to me, they're important in their own titles but hardly major MU characters. (Even allowing for Stanford and all its repercussions.) I concede that minor characters, especially villains, can sometimes be hard to pin down to one category but mostly I think it's fairly straight-forward. We just have to expand our categories, which has already been done enough to be getting on with.
John and Navaho, if we're getting the duck then getting the High Evolutionary would go some way to sugaring a very bitter pill.
All this boo hooing about poo pooing, Aw Dan said my pick was shit, me going to throw me collection in da bin..etc etc
Listen Dan, I have come to the conclusion that the vast majority of the 8000 or so subscribers are just like me,...Wonderful, and probably lapsed comic fans who retain a great deal of nostalgia for their childhood hero's. If they were all active comic nuts they would have found their way to this place or the other place by now.There are thousands of perfectly happy subscribers out there awaiting each delivery, hoping for their own favourite, The Controller?, Omega the Unknown? .They don't have a voice...Which is why i say to you Dan ignore all the whingeing bollocks and listen to Ted,I'm yer core customer.
Now hitch up yer britches and announce "controversial" Killraven and "Ted's wonderful"- Bloodstone or Princess P.
chek ya laytaz
I've said it before but i wish there was a subscription service available here to Australia.
The comic shop that i got my figurines from has closed and decided to move to an industrial area(?).
I now face a round trip of 83 kms(almost 52 miles in old money) and 1 hour and 30 minutes travelling time, depending on traffic.
I think i may use one of the shops in the U.K. and get them delivered straight to the door.
Sorry for whinge.
HTD, High Evolutionary or Killraven would be fine with me.
I think the Duck and the Evolutionary have it. :)
Sorry to hear that, Bagman. You could do what I do and try to pay the new comic guy up front, then just go in once every couple months to pick up figures. I'm about 30 miles from mine.
It's a 182 mile round trip to my nearest Ann Summers emporium.Now THAT is worth whingeing aboot!!
There you go EM how about a partwork "love aid"
Anything I can do to help, Bagman F.F.F., let me know. Door to door, I can be at FP in about fifteen minutes. I'll be there tomorrow, if there's anything you're desperate to get, and then I can send it to you.
Not optimistic, but the High Evolutionary would look good standing next to Adam Warlock.
Word verification: fecies. Charming!
Wow such harsh words. if you would care to read the post...I am pushing for your character. And yes I do feel the charaacter is ridiculus. I'm sorry that there are different opinions in the world. I just am tired of hearing the posts about that character. I feel there are enough people who want him so put him in.
My choices have been attacked too. I don't cry like a baby and attack others. I come on this forum to express an opinion to the editors. If there is a problem with that. I can't help that.
Thanks the offer Robert, may just take you up on that.
Imagine The High Evolutionary, Warlock and The Knights of Wondagore all grouped together.
Ted is Ann Summers any relation to Cyclops and Havok? :))
Great news!! Please dont forget MARROW for the extension. She's more importante than some figurines that have been done!
Excited, I can't concentrate on my patients.
Come on Navaho get a grip, it's only the most important collection in your life!!!
Dan, maybe an early announcement to spare my patients a distracted dentist!!!
"Ted is Ann Summers any relation to Cyclops and Havok?"
Aw Bagaman, I do hope so.She would make a great superhero, Imagine the wonderful toys she could have in her utility belt :0
How about a team name....
X-RATED!
:))
It can consist of:
Bush Master
Polestar
Joystick
the Whizzer
Man-Thing
John,if thos characters are genuine, then that may be the best team of all time :)
I can hardly wait to complete my X-Rated team.
Ann Summers is already in this collection (kind of) Looking at the Emma Frost mag it looks like 90% of her wardrobe comes from the Ann Summers catalogue, Seriously when guys buy comics with her on the cover,Do they ask for them in in a brown bag?
We don't have even Corsair, and you want his wife Ann?
Corsair for next extension!
HAMMERHEAD! HAMMERHEAD! HAMMERHEAD!
Oh wait...
WHIRLWIND! WHIRLWIND! WHIRLWIND!
