Minimate nunchaku... First Lego do it in Ninjago, and now Minimates?! Then again, it makes me want Darkstalker's Talbain even more Still, first RGB then Thundercats. All we need now is TMNT (which could cover original comics, 1980's cartoon, 2003's cartoon and 2012 cartoon, with maybe the odd Usagi Yojimbo character) and it would be just like my childhood all over again.

Ahmen brother. Ahmen. Screw Kang; Everyone's minimate collection need a British Kung-Fu Werewolf - with nunchaku! I promised my best friend should Felicia ever start flirting with him, I would dive in front of the two of them and take her off his hands so he can stay loyal to his fiance. Replace "Resident Evil" (never really cared for those games) with Captain Commando or Onimusha and I agree 100%, although SFxTK will have a handful (though Cody and Guy are unlikely )

I've been thinking about getting The Worthy for Odin, but Spider-Man, Iron Man and Hawkeye sold it for me. The fact you can pose Hawkeye PULLING BACK THE BOWSTRING is enough for me to say:

Second. Just when my wallet thought I'd curb my spending and started to limit my collection, THIS had to happen Have to say, of all the exclusives this is the one that interests me the most. Can't wait to see more

A Captain Commando figure would make me so happy, he, Strider and Morrigan or Jin Saotome were my team in MvC2. Cap Com, Strider, Jin and Hayato were some of my favourite characters in MvC2. To me they were a rag tag bunch of characters that would be great as a superhero team. I was thus really disappointed they didn't return in MvC3 and the licence doesn't cover the games they do appear in Looking at this one remindes me of the "Assist Me" Rap Battle between Wesker and Doom. It is awesome Since I know nothing about the game itself, I now consider this 2-pack to forever be based on that awesome rap battle video. I don't normally care for rap, but I agree. Especially Doom at the end.

Looking at this one remindes me of the "Assist Me" Rap Battle between Wesker and Doom. It is awesome QFT, but add in Captain Commando.

I agree. I've always been fond of the British characters in fighting games.

I agree, but I am really keen to see what accessories (i.e. like the original SF line) and stands (like with MvC3) they will have. I'm hoping Ken will have a shoryuken accessory, maybe even one that can support him like Nova and Magma's hair.

Nothing was said about Rocket Raccoon so fingers crossed for him I am a little dissapointed we've seen all we can for MvC3 (no Strider or Captain Commando ) as I'd have loved to see Zero as Mega Man X. But I am hopeful we'll see more Capcom in the future. I'd love to see a proper Darkstalkers wave (especially if the DS4 rumours turn out to be true).

Nicely played Mr Oats. I'm not a big X-Men fan but you've convinced me to get the Longshot and Havok sets

IMO forget Kang. All minimate collections are incomplete until Rocket Raccoon gets made! I had not considered this team, but now that you mention it, all I can say is: I miss this comic

Long as we get a new cosmic line by DnA and Incredible Hercules is revived and continued, Marvel do what whatever the frack they want IMO I have to say, my interest in AvX is in minus figures, bar the (limited) involvement with the new Nova. However that boxset does look good...

Honestly, I dunno how I feel about this. I know we'd get the obligatory "Superman and Batman fights but Batman pulls out some Bat-Dues Ex Machina that turns Superman into his bitch" scene that is turning me more and more against Batman, yadda yadda yadda "that British guy name Peter aka pawcanada hates Batman and Kang" and so forth. Honestly, I'd rather see some good and interesting movies with DC heroes I like first, i.e. Superman, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Flash before we get a JLA movie. This is what I liked about the Marvel movieverse; everything was developed outside of Avengers and then it all came together.

Maybe make 49 a complementary wave so we can get Quasar. How about modern as the regular and classic as the variant.

But surely that's a good thing if you don't think Kang is the dog's bollocks. Now I have no need to buy that boxset

They pretty much stated there will be three waves and Dudley is unlikely. Now who am I going to pose in photos calling other minimates (Kang for example) "Gutter Trash" while throwing roses at them?! (Dudley is to me what Kang was to all the Kang supporters)

pawcanada - my initials and country of birth (this does confuse people as I live in England) Blue and Red S - First of all; Superman > Batman . Now that I have that off my chest, I really grew to like Mon-El during the "New Krypton" storyline and felt the inverted S looked really good. It's a shame the character got sent back to the phantom zone at the end of the story and the costume got a lot of negative feedback. My first minimate is also a "NK Mon-El", although I have hit a few snags which aren't helped by me being a procrastinator.

I actually enjoyed Cabin in the Woods. I felt the overall plotline was an original and refreshing take on the "teens in a life or death situation", the gore was done to a "tasteful" level (i.e. not as over the top as other films do) and even found myself rooting for the "bad guys" on a few occasions. It's a shame the film has received such a mixed opinion. Although if Thor was there I bet the film would have been even MORE awesome.

Personal vendetta much?? Yeah a little... I don't get the appeal of Batman personally. I never got the whole "No Powers > Powers" argument and besides, Ted has no powers, is as intelligent as Bruce (if not more) and from what I read actually has a likeable personality. I am also a fan of web critic Linkara and he's reviewed quite a few comics where the rest of the DCU is made to look like amateurs to make Batman more awesome by comparison (JLA Act of God springs to mind). Considering as how Kyle Rayner got me into DC and I have developed a huge amount of respect for Superman, seeing both of them portrayed as being so mentally unstable they couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag and everyone else is praising how awesome Batman is because he lacks powers. The book was meant to promote power-less heroes but just seemed like a love letter to Batman as Steel, a powerless hero is killed and Ted and Ray, two other powerless/minimal tech heroes are captured and tortured (Booster is also tortured as well). I don't like it when people try to force me to like something (i.e. I MUST like Batman becasue he is dark and boording and lacks powers but still manages to do more than all the JLA could combined; really pushes the limit on no powers IMO) and I just happen to prefer other DC heroes, so, like I said, seeing Batman curb stomp them (again, the way he does it at times makes it sound like he's activated the God Mode cheat) frustrates me even more. I know thee are some comics where, for example, he's stated he can only stall Superman and never truly beat him (i.e. showing some respect for the man of steel) and I know his current comics get high scores almost all the time suggesting I'd probably enjoy them if I gave them a try, but I just can't. I find the way he's portrayed (i.e. God Batman) to un-appealing. IMO Superman may be powerful but I have seen more stories where he is someone I can relate to as a person; I have yet to see that with Batman. As for Booster Gold, his post 52 run was extreamly well done and one of the books I sorely miss in the new 52. The fact Batman has about 10 - 12 books is salt in the wound as I just don't find him awesome. But then again I must be a freak as I never Kang to get made as a minimate

I am certainly considering it (especially for the exclusive Lex minifig), but due to my suvear dislike of Batman I'm more interested in playing as the other DC heroes, i.e. Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern and Aquaman. Unless of course they put in The Gold and Blue, who are IMO WAAAAAAAY more awesome than Batman and deserve about 75% of the books he got in The New 52; hell they should be the star of this game.

Sorry Kang fans but IMO Thanos > Kang.

Second As a fan of Hercules my hope is the Marvel Cineverse will expand into the Greek pantheons. However I suspect this is unlikely to happen, so I hope the next film takes place primarily on Asgard and allows DST to give us the remaining Warriors Three and Heimdall

I've never really cared for Halo, but if they found a way to add Earthworm Jim into Halo 4, I would buy a 360 JUST for that. Awesome comic as always

I've personally never got that "if it's sculpted it's not a minimate" opinion. As long as I can take it apart and the figure has the minimate parts, i.e. square block for the chest, cylinder arms (if necessary), rectangle legs (if necessary), T for the waist and the head piece (if necessary) and it is roughly 2 inches tall, it doesn't matter what is added on to bulk it out or give it armour or a unique body or whatever.
