Yeah, I really want A-Bomb to make it into the game. A Hulk-esque figure with a camo SP. Niiiiiiice.

Something like this:
E A-Bomb
Team: Spider-Man Ally
Range: 0
Keywords: Brute, Monster

KO KO KO KO

Speed - Now I Can Smash Too!: After giving A-Bomb a movement action, A-Bomb may use Quake as a free action.
Damage - Camouflage: A-Bomb has Combat Reflexes and Energy Shield/Deflection. Lines of fire drawn to A-Bomb from more than 6 squares away are blocked.

1). Yay! Dracula!

2). ####! He's a chase!

True, they're not labeled as Chases, but there's nothing to say that they were not originally designed as Chases, and switched to Super Rares at the last minute. Or as I said before, they could have simply been misprinted with the wrong color tab.

I believe that whatever they are now, that figures 61-64 were originally meant to be the chases in this set. I believe this is WizKids experimenting to see if 16 SR (rather than 12 SR and 4 Chases) are easier for the public to swallow. It drives up the number of cases that a completes would need to buy in order to complete the CURSR set, and it removes the stigma of Chase figures. Not only that, but there are some "completests" that do not count Chase figures as part of a "set" because they are so difficult to collect. That said, if there's no figures higher then SRs, suddenly those collectors are forced to track down 4 more Super Rares.

If you really start looking at the numbers and the repercussions of such a decision, it's actually a genius move on their part. They satisfy those of us who HATE chase figures without diminishing the number of Super Rare figures that they're providing in a set. By adding 4 more to the SR pool, they further delude the possibility of you getting exactly the 6 you wanted from a case (if you are a case buyer). Unlike with Chase figures, having them be Super Rare, I feel you do actually drive up the purchasers likelihood of buying boosters, since 1 in 3 boosters contain an SR. However, there's no guarantee that you'll pull the 1 out of the 16 that you need.

That said, if they take on 2 to 4 more Chases on top of that, then they're just adding insult to injury. The guys at WizKids aren't dumb. I think they're intentionally screwing with the number of figures/rarities in the boosters to see what the public in general will be more inclined to swallow. That's why I think that there are not Chases on top of the 4 extra SRs (if that's even what they are).

Tarantula would be the icing on the cake for me.

I'd actually like Elixir so we can complete the entire X-Force team. I don't think it's likely, but...

1) Doc Sampson
2) hobgoblin
3) Rick Jones
4) Bucky Captian America
5) Spider Woman

I doubt it's going to happen, but — for the sake of the set — I'd like to see any of these:

Tinkerer
Carrion (we ARE getting Jackal, after all)
Stegron
Tarantula
Fly
Ox, Fancy Dan and Montana (as a TRIO!)
Big Man
Silvermane
Hammerhead

Okay, I'll guess:

1. Spider-Man repaint as Ben's costume
2. Kaine (repainted Ben/Peter), no AE
3. "Researcher" repaint of some sort; it'd have been nice if the Researcher was a woman, so we could get Carlie from current ASM stories as a repaint; Go plain-clothes brigade!
4. Kraven the Hunter
5. Man-Spider

C: Spot
R: Scarlet Spider
SR: Ms Marvel

This is my guess not necessarily what I want:


002/010. Doctor Curtis Connor AE (same sculpt as researcher)
016 Iron Clad
040. Lizard AE
051. Scarlet Spider AE
063. Spider-Cide
103. Gwen Stacy (Mary Jane repaint) or possibly no figure at all they do often leave gaps in LEs


I was wishing Hammerhead was in, but I am starting to doubt it.

According to the PDF in THIS THREAD Hammerhead is a common.

Eh, I'm guessing

Ms. Marvel
Kraven (either the real deal or his daughter)
Scarlet Spider
Doc Conners
The Lizard



As for chases, I think with that Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions game coming out, we might see something like
Spider-Man Noir
Spider-Man 2099
and 2 other figures

Might want to re-read that post. Those are his guesses as to who the last 5 will be. Educated guess; but guesses none-the-less.

Toxin
Ironclad
Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly) repaint of classic/black costume
Wolverine (brown costume) repaint
Ms. Marvel (Moonstone)
Spider-Man (Ben Reilly) repaint of classic/black costume

Off of the top of my head,I'm not sure if this list would fulfill the necessary new sculpts quota

Spider-Ham
Aunt May
Gwen Stacy
Prof. Miles Warren/Carrion I & II
Hobgoblin/demonic Hobgoblin/Demogoblin
Shriek
Deathlok (Michael Collins)
Nightw@tch

are also strong contenders

I think Scarlet Spider will be a lock. As far as the sculpt goes, here's my take:

Since the Red/Blue and Black Suit Spider-man figures were displayed:
http://gallery.figures.com/showphoto...roclix&cat=572
and WK/NECA likes to reuse sculpts, I'm 99% sure that the Scarlet Spider will be a repaint based on this cover:
