    The only ones that seem to have a total shutdown are the ones related to the Fantastic Four. X-Men are getting edited out of artwork and the like, but they're harder to exclude without devaluing the license, and possibly breaching contracts. I suspect we'll still see X-Men as about every third or fourth character, though there may be a fallow period when their next movie comes out.

    Dont forget that the next* char is Fantastic Four related icon_e_wink.gif
    *expectation


    Wait, so are we going to expect:

    1. FF related character
    2. Then the one mentioned in the poster? (Which is most likely X-Men)?

    Or refers to one character only?

    Current characters in queue:
    0) Cyclops (2*)
    1) FF related
    2) Spiderman (Original) (?*)
    3) Poster one

    Look, don't conflate film rights with marketing and merchandising. Marvel and Disney still make money on every FF and X-Men lunch box and t-shirt. They can put the characters in video games or posters or cancel the books and kill Wolverine at their whim. They own the characters but can't make films about them. They can refuse to cross-promote to spite their face. But I'm betting D3 has not once been told they can not use a character. I'm sure they've had plenty of occasions where they've been strongly encouraged to use a character. But if the FF film defies all predictions, logic, sanity, etc, and becomes a blockbuster hit, we'll see Reed, Thing, Kang, Mole Man, and that little robot thing too. Herbie? Anyway, point is, quit obsessing about film rights. Also, I read a Deadpool with Super Skrull in it and I'm sold.

    I'm not conflating the two. Marvel is blacking out licensing related to the Fantastic Four film license, and reducing it for the X-Men. I'm about 99% sure that d3 was either told that FF characters wouldn't be approved, or has rejected them when asked, and it's because other licensors have as well. Nothing has come out related to them in about a year. The most recent thing I've seen is baby torch, and he was probably approved when the 3* was, which was before the blackout went into effect (around may or June of last year).

    Regardless if you like her or not, she has a decent sized cult following.

    You'll be alright.

    Also, that "conflating" guy didn't even spell SUGAH correctly. Please.

    Everything has a decent sized cult following. It's the internet age.

    1. FF related character
    2. Then the one mentioned in the poster? (Which is most likely X-Men)?

    Or refers to one character only?

    So, based on the poster, we are left with:

    1. Angel
    2. Iceman
    3. Jean Grey
    4. Rogue
    5. Havok

    All of which are X-Men and are the highest requested heroes to be included.

    Or, if we are streeeeeetching this...

    Other versions of:
    1. Cyclops (which is already given)
    2. Beast? (Original/Classic)
    3. Scarlet Witch in her original costume? (Are we even going to see it???)
    4. 3* Hawkeye

    Any other hints, turul?

    OMFG, I REMEMBER SOMEONE SAYING IT'S GONNA BE HAWKEYE.......I would be so annoyed. Like.....furiously. lol

    Well actually, I'd be more disappointed at TuTu for posting THAT particular picture with so many X-Men hopefuls, instead of any other Avengers pic.

    That's a very nice picture of Rogue.

    I will be very happy if it's Rogue. She is one of my fave x-men.

    There's a "Rogue Edition" of X-Men:Days of Future Past coming out on DVD next month. Just FYI....

    This would solidify things beyond mere words that Marvel WILL continue to support the mutants digitally.

    What does a movie made by fox have to do with digital support from marvel?

    Well, you probably need to save up until season XVII starts. (the one after the next one)

    Of course saving up tokens is only advisable if most of your desired characters are fully covered. If you got a mostly incomplete roster, don't wait*.

    *Factor in that 4* odds are also getting increased soon from tokens!

    Marvel is starting to downplay a lot of the X-Men characters in licensed goods, to the extent they're editing characters out of existing art for t-shirts and the like. Marvel also seems to be avoiding tie-ins to non-MCU movies, especially Fox movies. I'd think the Rogue edition release would actually make it less likely it's Rogue, not more.

    I think we'll still get X-Men characters, because there are simply too many of them for Marvel to disallow them from people who have already paid licensing costs to Marvel. With the Fantastic Four, you're only really cutting, at most, about 8 characters that would be likely to get licensed. With the X-Men, it's dozens.

    Well I figured I'd wait until at least Carnage is in tokens.

    And that 4* increase in tokens is a good point...

    Dont know about that. But the vault itself might be "resetable".

    Reset the vault with a new set of [number] covers to collect?
    Take a reward from the vault?
    OPEN THE VAULT?
    Take [number] rewards from the vault?
    RESET VAULT?

    Oh, I can't wait to get thoroughly disappointed by this!

    If Ultron tokens are any indication, expect 1 higher iso pull, and 1 2900 HP or a "try again" 10 pack maybe?
