Maxine Hunkel is the granddaughter of Ma Hunkel, they mention it in JSA #1. She gained wind powers presumably due to being kidnapped as a child by T.O. Morrow, the evil scientist that made the android Red Tornado that carried on Ma Hunkel's legacy. She wasn't introduced until the recent #1.

It doesn't throw out the character growth though, since his relapse into his previous attitude was a put-on.

I wonder who's next. I'm hoping for Hawkeye and Vision. Best wave since... since... uh, yeah, best wave ever.

So these 4 packs are good quality? They finally put them out here(the Marvel ones too). Man, it's been like a year since I bought a minimate.

I barely post anymore, mainly because I have nothing to post about without any real new releases.

Awesome. I want them all!

This sounds like another Napster line to me. Though this thread did make me hungry.

Looked it over, considered registering, then thought "why?". The majority of people I liked from the old AA forum are more active elsewhere now. It just looks dull.

A minimate gallery featuring all produced minimates, ala fwoosh's marvel legends archives. Just use one photo for each. Already sort of done with Divebomb's site, but I'd like it accessible from the forum.

I'm on the fence about going back, if it does indeed even come back(I'm doubting it, it has no advantage for AA, it was all downside that I could see). But if it did, I'd consider it. Not for the minimate discussion, frankly I don't see much to discuss minimate-wise, we seem to be in a somewhat stable place for now, the Marvel ones are continuing(slowly) and the DC ones are getting off to a great start. So I wouldn't go back for minimate talk(hell without the people here what's the point? This is the core fanbase right here). However my interest has been shifting more to the Trek side of AA's product output since they started up TNG, and frankly the thread on Fwoosh isn't the same thing as a dedicated board. I've put some thought into starting up a board for DST figures in general(buffy, stargate, tng, tos, angel, marvel select, etc) but I don't really think I'm the admin type... I'd rather be free to get into fights and not have the temptation of just being able to ban the other guy. This'd be an easier question to answer if MisterPL were here. I liked the guy, thought he handled a tough job pretty well under the circumstances. Hell, the DST Q&As were all him. Those were reason enough. How much does it cost to host a board AA's size anyway?

I ordered a variant Iron Man from Amazing toyz, can't wait.

Isn't that the week before comicon? Preview night's the 19th according to the website.

I'd choose a window box. DC Direct in their 6-7" line varies between window boxes and blisters. I tend to think the window boxes are more distinctive.

I'd go to SDCC but I'm already buying $300 worth of exclusives. :/ Can't imagine what I'd spend if I were there.
