RIGHT?
Looking at the card, it's a safe bet the mainstays are in.. Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider Man.. I'm just curious which villains will make the early cut.
Another positive.. The forces of Law will largely be interchangeable I'd bet.
Seeing as he's a Sidekick, and they have Spiderman listed as a faction on their Marvel Legends tab, I'd say it's a safe bet Parker will be a Leader for the crew. Probably with Elektra and Punisher as Sidekicks/Free Agents, possibly Wolverine.
I'd be surprised to see Stark and Cap in purely since KM have been pretty solidly against putting characters on that power level into Batman (Lobo being a notable exception), but at the same time, the fact Murdock is a Sidekick at 110 Rep (higher than any other BMG Sidekick apart from Arrow and Deathstroke, off the top of my head), the Marvel side of things may well lead to some escalation in Rep counts.
Other factions listed on the site are SHIELD, Hydra and The Goblin Cult, so I'd guess we see the Spidey villains in the range (Goblin, Venom, have they done Doc Ock?) make the early cut. I'd love to see Doom in there, preferably with Doombot Henchmen as well!
So very glad to see they're sticking with the BMG system for the Marvel stuff, though, it works so well... the fact it also means I can finally settle the Batman vs Spider-man debate in a mathematical (sort of) manner helps as well!

Well with the marvel stuff they can backfill a little, adding cards to the existing range.. and I'm sure they've got sculpts they've been sitting on for this.. so they can probably trickle it out for a few months before any noticeable hold ups.
I think "maybe" the BMG is going to stay low key and the Marvel things are going to focus more on those high-powered encounters. Maybe..

That's what I'm hoping. Quickly release cards for the suitable Marvel minis already in the range:
Spidey
Daredevil
Elektra
Punisher
Wolverine
Widow
Cyclops
Colossus
Cap
Deadpool
Maybe Stark
Goblin
Venom
Doc Ock
Maybe Doom
And then repack Cops and Prisoners with Marvel-suitable names until they can get some crew sets out.
See, I think the leaders are all going to be on the powerful side. It creates a divide between the Marvel and DC sides. You "could" use Batman or Joker or Bane in the Marvel version.. but Iron Man, Hulk, Magneto, Dr Doom, etc are so much more powerful that it just wouldn't make sense.. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.. but if they do keep it to the street level heroes like Blade, Punisher, Moon Knight, Luke Cage, etc.. it'll still be fun.

This one which will be like BMG, just street level with Marvel.
And then the supes games...
I'm awaiting to see MECH LUTHOR and MECH EDDIE for BMG..
Agreed, and I think that's the way to handle it for both Marvel and DC. I'm all for more powerful models in BMG/its Marvel equivalent, but the system does have its limits, and I can't see the likes of Thor, Thanos, Wonder Woman or Superman ever fitting into that. I also think the rules would need changing so significantly it'd be a different game by that point anyway. When we get a supers game, I want rules for punch people through buildings, chucking cars around and permanent flight, stuff that just doesn't slot nicely into the BMG system as it stands.
Perhaps I'm being dense here, but who are you referring to as Mech Eddie?
First Ivy, Catgirl, and Quinn and now the web crawler, Knight Models sure loves my cash.
Wonder who I'm going to support Spidey.

Sugar I think was Drew Barrymore's first film role.... Spice, however, didn't look like that..
Wait what... What. More like 20th film.

Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.
I'm interested to see where they take this. Whether they're going for the style and proportions of the animated stuff, or just take the designs and apply them to 'realistic' models?

We might finally get Manbat, he was in the first episode.
If I were to guess, I'd say they'd be best to focus on the ones whose designs are notably different to the Arkham/DKR ones. I expect we'll get a Batman (obviously), Dick Grayson Robin (it was Grayson in TAS, wasn't it?), Joker and Harley (although the 'Classic' Harley is most of the way there already), Two-face like the one above, Scarecrow with the hat maybe? And hopefully some different henchmen.
I just hope they adapt the aesthetic enough to make it mesh with the existing stuff, rather than being a whole other range that looks odd next to the Arkham/DKR stuff.
Mmmm this makes me happy and hopefully one step closer to Batman Beyond. I do hope for some of the more unique stuff from the series with my personal faves being Phantasm, Harvey Bullock, and oh if there was a Grey Ghost.... many a game will be had.

I'm not expecting wonders, especially with batman himself. He was drawn without great detail and ridiculously large, I don't see how to make a dyanic miniature out of TAS batman without making it look like a child's toy

Phew... a cheap month and time to catch up on the last few releases if they're all like that this time! A nice mini if you're into the style, I guess, and they couldn't have done much else with it, but it's not something I'd want to put on the table with the rest of my stuff.
Shame, really, I was hoping we'd get a more comic-booky Batman that wasn't the Miller one.
