DocVicVonDoom

OK, now I've gotten the shipping e-mail. Dr. Strange, Namor, Hulk, Valkyrie, and Web-Armor Spidey all in the same package!!

I still haven't gotten my shipping e-mail yet, just the "shipping soon!" e-mail.

sure Doom has obtained it and Doom shall assist you in your query, not because of your paltry request, but because it suits Doom's master plans to do so. The Scarlet Spiders unmasked at the end of Avengers: The Initiative 7 are none other than Von Doom bravado aside, I hope this helps you out

Yeah it is pretty much a rip, but it did give me an excuse to order the Defenders set from AFX and thus get it quicker than waiting for other stores to get theirs after the fact. Unfortunately, they inexplicably didn't put the Defenders (or practically any other) minimates into the Holiday special... whatever. Luckily, my mom was complaining about needing some bookends and she loves Harry Potter so I picked up those Harry Potter bookends that they had offered. Still, I'm not too happy about the nearly 13 bucks in shipping I had to pay, but it'll all come out in the wash.

Hey, I'm just curious, what are the chances of the possibility of Avatar: The Last Airbender minimates. I think it is a series popular with a wide-enough age group to make minimates worthwhile. Also, I think the designs of the characters lend themselves well to the 2-inch goodness that are minimates. This is especially true since the M. Knight Shamalan directed films will likely keep the momentum for the show's popularity rather strong. Just a thought. Thanks for taking your time to answer our questions.

Amen to that. They'll come out when they come out, I know it's a little frustrating, especially when you have them pre-ordered, but there are so many things to enjoy in life... When the mates come out, we'll be giddy and ecstatic... then we'll be frustrated by the wait we'll have to endure between waves 16 and 19 & 20 (no offense to people looking forward to Ghost Rider and Spidey 3 movie-mates). But it's all part of the game.

Thanks to DST's awesomeness in the newly announced waves 19 & 20 covering nearly half of my old list, it's time for an update: * Molecule Man * Impossible Man * Blink (AoA/Exiles) * Psylocke * Nova (Frankie Raye) * Maximus the Mad (yeah, longshot I know) * Gambit * Tigra * Wasp * Kang the Conqueror * Six-armed Spider-Man * Weapon X Wolverine (w/helmet) Fun Fact (UPDATE!): the only characters we need to recreate the Secret Wars now are: Captain Marvel (Photon), The Wasp, Enchantress, Kang the Conqueror, Klaw, the Lizard, Molecule Man, Titania, Volcana, The Wrecker, Bulldozer, Piledriver, Thunderball, and the Mohawk version of Storm

Now that I think upon it, I wonder which one is the variant mate for this set: obviously one of the 2 Kirks or 2 Spocks in this line of 7 characters, but does anyone have an inside track on which one? Just thought I'd ask.

OOOOH yeah... Slave Kirk, from that planet that just so happens to be an exact duplicate of Earth, only with the extrapolation that the Roman Empire never fell.... yeah that's believable and not full of holes, as well as that insipid pseudo-Christian message at the end... still all in all not a bad episode, especially compared to the following episode: Assignment: Earth.

I have heard a rumour through my LCS that Bruce Timm's Batman Beyond Universe is being incorporated into the DCU proper, I'm not yet sure of the veracity of this, nor what form it might take. (Be it one of the 52 universes created as a result of Infinite Crisis and 52 or whether it is legitimately Batman's actual future) The point of this is (and not to raise any hopes) if this true, there might be legitimate potential in the future that Batman Beyond minimates could feesably come out in future lines. I'm curious as to how they might be recieved and who better to ask than the most knowledgable collectors of minimates, the patrons and caretakers of the good ole MMMV. Batman Beyond (Terry McGinnis), Old Bruce, Blight, Shreik, Inque, Curare, The New Royal Flush Gang, The Jokerz (The better version from Return of the Joker and the JLU episode Once and Future Thing Part II) are all great designs in my opinion, and this rumour allows me to dare to hope that it might be a possibility, and for all those who are skeptical that they might not be popular enough to be made into minimates: Ambush Bug & Ma Hunkel Thoughts? Opinions? Wanna tell me to shut up?

I could be wrong but one of them looks like Ambasador Sarek of Vulcan, I think his son might be someone of relative importance to the Star Trek series.

I was hoping for Mary Marvel's new black outfit from Countdown, but I'll take what they give me. White would have been awesome too though.

No words... should have sent a poet!

I've got one: Screamer a.k.a. Elsie Manning, a British sorceress with a taste for punk-style clothing. She was one of the wizards chosen at the Temple of Three, in which Dr. Strange was victorious in combating the Ashanti and achieving the title: Sorcerer Supreme. She appears only in a few panels of the graphic novel, Dr. Strange/Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment.

Ocean Master is Aquaman's Eeeeeeevil brother Orm, following his attempt at stealing Aquaman's trident and usurping Atlantis' throne, and getting his ass handed to him by his brother, Orm decided the best way to take over Atlantis would be to don a goofy looking suit and challenge Aquaman with his own psuedo-trident... though it seems to have done little to curtail the subsequent ass-handings that Aquaman has given him.
