I just came across this recent interview with Dan/Gonk:

The first question and answer interested me the most...
"When it comes to comic book statues, you guy know how to capture the essence of the character. How do you choose the design or characters that Kotobukiya creates? Are there multiple versions?
Dan- Let’s take, for example, the Marvel Avengers series. We started off with the Marvel NOW look because it was probably the most current look in the comics at the time. We started the artFX+ line with the Marvel NOW and continued it with the X-men and they also had the Marvel NOW costumes. After that, our plan was to go with a more classic look almost a hybrid between modern and classic. That’s where we went with Spider-Man. I wouldn’t say its technically a Marvel NOW look but just a more classic look for all the characters in that series…and the same can be said for DC. We started with the New 52 and now that its over, we’re going back to finish the ones that we started but we also want to start new lines with the classic costumes and…also begin work on what’s current in the books. "
I'm really happy to read that as the latest Spider-Man character designs are what brought me back to the line and have me picking up some of the older Marvel ArtFX+ statues again.
I truly hope there are plans in the works for a Jim Lee X-Men wave along with a classic Avengers wave (or multiple waves of each to cover all the mainstays).
What's everyone else hoping for in regards to future Marvel ArtFX+?
