Out of 4700.....

[Roughneck]

So they are always saying that there are 4700 Licensable characters in the Marvel U.....How many do we have thus Far?

So I've broke it down....now this is not Figs....this is Characters....and it goes as far as HML2......Let me know if I missed any, this was all off of memory......and it's broken into groups. Also I only stuck with 616, so you will see no Ultimate, Movie or AOA or other guys in here unless they operate(d) in the core 616 Universe. Also this is only ML, So the MS Thanos and Watcher didn't make the cut either. It also doesn't count versions that are not comic accurate like the Bird of Prey Angel....yet Avalanche makes the cut)

So I might be missing a couple...let me know...Anyway thus far that gives me an Even 160

And one coud say that one of the Green Goblins is Harry Osborn and make it 161

And none of my calculations count T Hawk. That would bring it up to 162 but that's just silly.

And If We do Include Alternate Versions

Exiles

AOA Sabertooth
Heather Hudson Sassy
Spider-man 2099

Ultimate

Ultimate Captain America
Ultimate Iron Man
Ultimate Nighcrawler
Ultimate Iceman
Ultimate Sabertooth
Ultimate Wolverine

Other Alternate Universe Versions

AOA Wolverine (X2)
Maestro

Inhuman Torch
HoM Spider-man
HoM Wolverine
HoM Iron Man
HoM Hulk

So Incluing Alternates and ever possible angle we get 179.

 

[Roughneck]

Shoot....I missed MODOK

136......4564 to go I guess.

 

[Roughneck]

And I am going to add the G Movie Scarecrow in here too, he looks enough like the Ebeneser Laughton 616 Scarecrow to fit in with the 616 villains....And I doubt we'll ever see a real one.

Close enough for me anyway......Awwww.....Maybe not....I'll hold off on that one until adebate breaks out.

 

[Saint553]

Out of 4700 characters, are even half that popular enough to become an action figure investment?

 

[Roughneck]

I forgot to add Hydroman, Dracula, Werewolf by Night, Frankenstein and Zombie.

So that's like 5 more.

 

[Roughneck]

Out of 4700 characters, are even half that popular enough to become an action figure investment?

I'll buy every one of them that they make.....My Goal is one Giant Shelf with 4700 figs on it.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i thought ant man was the Scott Lang version... (pretty sure it was what it said on the back of the box in his profile)

 

[spideyboy_1111]

rough they will never make everyone.. the 4700 includes all alternate universe characters 616 or not, and probably about 1/3 of those are supporting cast members or "one story arch only" type characters who never see the light of day again, because out of 4700 that includes any established character (meaning one given a name) to be printed in a comic page... thats including suchs hacks as the gwen clone, sarah and gabriel stacy/osborne, digger, dr. kafka, any many other people that have been forgoten

 

[Roughneck]

Again with the Digger......I know....but any one of them might make a comeback......I know they wont all be made....I'll settle for the 140 from Marvel Ultimate Alliance.....

 

[Roughneck]

And a lot more

 

[HCpride]

I'll buy every one of them that they make.....My Goal is one Giant Shelf with 4700 figs on it.

u better start customizing, you'll get there faster that way

 

[Roughneck]

I know....I also forgot Sentry.....So that's one more.

 

[Union Jack]

no bloody union jack yet...

we have vengeance..but no union jack!!!!????

 

[Roughneck]

Two Vengeance figures have been made....and no Union Jacl

 

[HCpride]

[Roughneck]

Deathlock and no Union Jack

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

2 different X23's and no damn Union Jack.

 

[Roughneck]

Mad Jack and no Union Jack

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i hope we get a wolvie son before union jack

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Why would you want Wolvie's son??

 

[spideyboy_1111]

because its not union jack

 

[Roughneck]

I hope we get a Green Speedo Namor

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

We have a ML green speedo Namor.

Its just he's MLSD.

 

[Roughneck]

Namor musta gotten into the Pym Particles.

 

[spideyboy_1111]
