Marvel Comics 55th Anniversary in 2016

[thunderbolt]

What I don't get is why they don't do what they did for Captain America: A repro, an S.I., and a more modern redux of the Mego-era armor just like Cap's "modern version was basically an updated version of Mego's.

To avoid selling a repro Mego Iron Man and a Tony Stark S.I. Mego in this EMCE line seems a bit odd.... if not a LOT odd.

Cap's "modern" take was fixing the errors on the Mego figure, wrong boots, no gloves, no white sleeves, goofy head. Thor's Mego was pretty on model, so that probably led to the modern Thor redesign being used, so it wouldn't look like a carbon copy of the repro. Same could hold true with Iron Man in Diamond's eyes.

I'd rather see more Spider-man than Iron Man. Spidey is my favorite. Iron Man was a funky looking Mego. He's great, but I don't like the modern looking armor, so I'd just want his repro and S.I. versions. I'd rather see a Green Goblin than Iron Man!

Is Spider-WOMAN ALL 3 females who used the name and wore 3 different costumes possible? Or is that considered 3 characters?

What about Jean Grey who has had different IDs and costumes?

And yes we need Iron Man and Green Goblin!

Spiderman 2099 , Modern Spiderman 2099,and secet I.D Spiderman 2099 ? Would'nt that be the license restriction or do the rules change for charector's like Spidey 2099 ?

I don't think a 55th anniversary is a big deal. 50, yes; 60, yes. Not 55.

I can't drive 55.

When you say he'll have other Spider-Man outfits, do you mean other variations of Spider-Man 2099 or other versions of Spider-Man in general? If it is the latter, how does that square with the license mandate that each set be one character (secret ID, costume variations but still the same character, in this case Miguel O'Hara)? Does this mean we could see a set containing O'Hara, Parker, and Morales? Wouldn't they be considered three separate characters?

With Cap:Civil War coming out next year, they aren't doing an Iron Man, but they are doing Spidey 2099? DP has a movie, Daredevil and Punisher will be on Netflix. Spidey 2099 was in two episodes of Ultimate Spider-Man, and that's it. Mystifying choices here.

He also has a comic series, and has had one on and off for 20 years. Also, he'll have other Spider-Man outfits, and Spider-Man has been in EVERY episode of Ultimate Spider-Man. And, you know, some comics and movies.

Iron Man is probably a bit of a challenge, execution-wise. A modern Iron Man may not work in a cloth costume, and I'm not sure how much tooling is possible on one figure in this line. Not that we'll never make him, but I think for now we're happy to be making characters that have never been made.

No Ironman , X-men, or females until 2017 or later ? It will take years to make a team and I'm not getting any younger. I'm only buying Daredevil in 2016 so the rest of my collector's money goes to FTC and Neca

DSTZach,

So, the tentative 2016 plan is Deadpool, Daredevil, Punisher, and Spidey 2099? 4 sets a year?

As far as I know, that's why they're on the box, but you can always Ask DST: http://www.artasylum.com

With no FF comic on the stands, and a poorly received movie out, it might not be the best anniversary to celebrate with product. Besides, we've revealed our tentative plans for 2016 already. They may change, but the four slots will likely not be FF.

DANG !!!
