Damn! I thought i'd not seen Winkerbean crop up much on the boards recently, Hope all's going well down your way, Man! Now i'm probably going to have to get my 'mates from..."Shudder"..Forbidden Planet...Arrrgh!

Anyone know what's up with Limited Edition in Plymouth? They just seem to have dropped off the edge recently...Who else am i going to source my crack from?

I actually quite enjoyed it, I was totally expecting a grade A cluster-f**k of a movie like TF2: Electric Boogaloo... Let's face it, It was a two hour toy commercial and in that regards it succeeded, I actually wanted to buy a Night Raven despite not having owned any Action Force toys since 1985 and Scarlett & The Baroness were exceptionally easy on the eye so theres that too.

And Disco-Collar Nightwing!! BTW: Those Black Lanterns redefine awesome...

Limited Edition (eBay) This is Limited Editions shop on eBay, Not sure what happened to their online shop, I just got the Villains set and Marvel Wave 25 & variant from them last week, and i can't fault them, Limited Edition are my go-to guys for 'Mates in the UK....Yay! Ian

Hear, Hear! Any film is enhanced by the nubile charms of Ms. Johannson lol! Please say Favreau is sticking to the winning skintight leather catsuit/impractical yet alluring high-heels combe we know and love from the comics...Please Jon, Please!! :biggrin:

AFAIK They've got Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer for this one, I'm pretty stoked to see the chemistry between Stark/RDJ and Hammer/SR, They're both great actors so i'm hoping they play up the Evil Tony aspect to Justin's character because i think they have similar acting styles...

Iron Man 2's Whiplash What do you think, guys? I'm quietly optimistic on this, The first movie was one of the highlights of 2008 for me so here's hoping... My guess for the possible storyline is that Justin Hammer gets hold of some Irontech (Maybe remains of Iron Monger armour?), Has Vanko build a suit of armour (With added whip action) that then gets used to kill either hundreds of people or one special Tony-Specific (Girlfriend/Relative?) person whose death Stark considers himself responsible for, Cue spiral into alcoholic dependency that requires Rhodey to become Iron Man, Rhodey gets his ass handed to him by Vanko causing Tony to snap out of his alcoholism, builds a new War Machine armor to take down Whiplash and then takes up IM identity again and passes on War Machine armour to Rhodey to take Hammer down once and for all... That works for me. Hopefully the Whiplash armor has more to it than Mickey Rourke in bondage gear though Lol! In the end though, The minimates are gonna be freakin' awesome!!

I've just finished reading John Birmingham's fantastic Axis of Time trilogy about a US-led naval taskforce from 2021 beinf accidentally sent back in time to 1942 and the US fleet sailing to Midway, I found them to be some of the most engrossing techno-thrillers i've read in years, Now on to the meat of the post... Who would you have as the principle characters on any possible movie/TV adaption? I'd start by having... "Uptimers" Admiral Philip Kolhammer, USN - Ed Harris Colonel J. "Lonesome" Jones, USMC - Dennis Haysbert (The Unit) Captain Karen Halabi, RN - Parminder Nagra (ER) Captain Jane Willett , RAN - Lucy Lawless (Yes, I know she's a Kiwi not an Aussie...lol!) Prince Harry Windsor, SAS - Daniel Craig (007) Julia Duffy, Reporter, New York Times - Not sure, Someone with the presence of Michelle Forbes but younger? "Temps" Cmdr. Dan Black USN - Matthem Modine Lt. Wally Black USN - Milo Ventimiglia Admiral Yamamoto IJN - George Takei (Let's get some Sulu love up in this house!!) That's all i've got so far,I don't know whether this would be better as a trilogy of movies or maybe a series of mini series with a similar format to Band of Brothers? Who else has read this excellent books and has ideas for cast? Ian.

I'm quite partial to a Jim Rhodes Iron-Man with the add-ons (Backpack & pods) from when he holds up the mountain, It's been a while since i read it though, that was probably the Hulk...lol! I also quite fancy a Secret Wars II Beyonder, I always thought he looked like the Hoff as a kid ;-)

Cheers for setting that straight, Danny I'm not sure I could face you "sob" LEAVING me again!!! I wait henceforth until the first...

Hey, Anyone else having problems accessing Minimates central, I've been trying most of the morning and all it gives back is a blank screen? Any ideas whats up?

Hey, Wait a gorram minute! Why has no-one suggested Firefly/Serenity mates? Mal/Inara Zoey/Wash River/Simon Jayne/Shepard Book (& Vera of course) Kaylee/Badger The Hands of Blue 2-pack That'd be super shiny...

Yeah, I was totally thinking the same thing, Wink. I'm pretty much looking forward to the wave though, Glad Season 1 Sisko is the variant, loving the little first contact uniforms, I wonder if mini Ilia has sworn her oath of mini celibacy?

Theres no such thing as Iron Man overkill, If anything IM is the one Marvel/DC character that perfectly lends itself to multiple versions as there have been many different armours over the years, although I won't be satisfied until i've got a Hydro Armour/Stingray 2-pack from IM Vol. 1, #218 In my grubby little mitts!! The Hydro Armour Rocks!! Anything can happen In the next half hour... I fact I want a multiple wave Armor Wars streak, Goddamit! Tony Stark will rule the world!!
