  1. So marvel have revealed Spidey is getting a new costume in 2021. what are ppls first impressions on it? For me not a big fan if they wanted to have a Hi-Tech suit the Parker industries works fine. I understand a new suit drums up interest in the comic and in the end the suit will not be permanent so nothing to get really annoyed about. It feels more like a team suit like the future foundation one, not really a stand alone Spider suit.
  2. Merry Christmas to all. This place has always been a good place to come an just chill and chuckle no matter what life chucks at you and this year especially I'll take the smiles an laughs all day long.
  3. I know we've had a Venom T-Rex and not sure if Marvel have any rights to Zilla at the moment but I think Venomzilla V Leopardon in King in Black would be so much fun. Could even use Kid Kajiu to somehow pull it off. Just a bit of wild imagining because I thought this artwork was fun.
  4. not knowing much more of predator outside of the movies and the old arcade game, there is some nice figures in that line up. The water emergence one from the first movie is well done showing the cloaking shield failing. The one figure that really did make me smile is one of the blacked out silhouette ones. Ultimate Warrior Predator, I know its nothing to do with wrestling but as soon as i read it I couldn't help imagining one of those figures with bright purple, orange etc paint work WWF style. It really did make me grin. Lol
  5. What I would like is if minimates cant get the MCU, D+ screen licence to go the route of the wave 77 figures so 616 comic figures of Flag Smasher, Shang-Chi etc.
  6. At first I was nice figures but I'm OK with the versions already out there. Just checked against the figures on database and honestly each of these figures has something that stands out as good. Jean's headpiece, Sinister's cape design, Cyclops Visor headpiece and for some reason just Juggernauts colour. I do like these figures they are not as simplified as other Walgreens releases. So all in all a good release IMO I would be OK adding these to a display especially Jean and Sinister
  7. Just a quick google got me this graphic of Panther costumes thru the ages. Just Looking at that I could see a 4 figure boxset would cover the majority of panther looks with 2 main Panther figures an swapping of parts between them covering a high % of looks. You could then easily slot in in a Shuri panther and 1 other like the Coal Tiger or Killmonger. I Know very unlikely but hey just putting it out there. https://images.halloweencostumes.com/infographics/Evolution-of-Black-Panther.jpg
  8. I could go a classic Black Panther Minimate in this style. we got a munched on by zombies version but not a classic one. full mask and open face mask heads and I'm happy.
  9. Title says it really Hasbro released a new line of Retro style figures. Now I'm not sure if $20 for two small figures is going towards the high end of pricing but damn the packaging to me is just great. Reminds me a lot of the Mego Pocket heroes stuff I had as a kid but I guess that's the idea. https://news.toyark.com/2020/09/23/marvel-legends-retro-3-75-inch-figures-revealed-by-hasbro-402777
  10. Dunno if this is "broke", my browser or a combination of the two but since update I get no emoji's showing in the drop down just a blank white space. Firefox auto updated around the same time so not sure if its that as well. I'm also being sent to first page of every thread when accessing new posts. no biggie really just one more button click.
  11. I did wonder how comic accurate this was going to be. I'm honestly very relived.
  12. Thank you Luke and tribe for sorting this all out for me. Great service as always. (I would put a thumbs up emoji but they aren't showing up on my browser.)
  13. Just reading through this thread. An now I have a mental image of a load of older English guys in a Greek airport trying to get a life sized playmobil figure through customs. I can just see them sitting around in depatures with a Footie shirt on the figure all drunk going "Shhh! Its cool, everyone act natural, no one expects a thing" At That point the end music for the original Italian Job movie kicks in.
  14. Cheers I have been following the US postal shenanigans for this very reason of ordering stuff but I wasn't expecting that sort of kick in the postal crotch that early in the morning. I also didn't want to post anything about it as it kinda comes under the no politics bit of the forum rules :) I have messaged Luke using his store system when I posted earlier but because of timezones etc not expecting a super fast response. Onyx my first thought was and prob still is to ask him to hold my order after I've paid if the shipping cant be sorted until hopefully things calm down.
  15. Just to put this out there. An this post is not in anyway a hit on Luke who is a fantastic person an goes above and beyond for anyone here. Just went to place an order for some Minimates and this years Luke crate (The Order was a set of Wave 79 and Wave 80 and a two pack. Loose for shipping where I could and this years Luke Crate.) That order comes a few cents shy of $107 all well and good I'm happy with that. Time to hit the shipping button.....$123.30!!! WhAt ThE $**K! I Actually did swear at my computer screen at that point. Ok Take a breath relax...Take the Luke crate off an see what it is then...$62 order...Shipping Button....(Not been this tense since I watched The Exorcist as a kid) $118.30! F**K Me SiDeWays. Not much difference then. Come on that is just mental over a $100 for some items (excluding the Luke Crate.) which could easily a best be put in a large Bubblewrap bag. To put it this way my last Luke crate order was roughly the same cost and I just checked the postage on that was $30 other orders that I can check on my account the postage is roughly the same. Has USPS done away with the cheaper lvl of shipping? because right now those costs make it impossible for me to buy Minimates I'm just not willing to swallow the cost. Again This post is in no way ranting at Luke or the store both of which I have great admiration for if it wasn't for them alot of us would not be able or have been able to continue collecting Minimates. Just what are USPS upto trying to charge prices like that.
  16. https://www.figures.com/2020/09/09/marvel-gamerverse-avengers-get-new-minimates/ Lots of pics in one place there. Not played the game but glad other would it be side licences? are being explored. Hopefully more characters in the future.
  17. My fave hidden in plain sight bits where the film posters for Prez, GI Robot, Unknown Soldier and Haunted Tank at the start of the final episode. Oh wait I'm in The UK and can't actually watch Stargirl till it lands on Amazon Prime next week. I blame the ISA and Brainwave for somehow implanting this information in my noggin.
  18. I'm not sure but isn't surfer part of the current GotG series? Cosmic Marvel aint really my main thing keeping track of. I'm guessing if not and Surfer is still black at the moment then he would most prob pop up in the Venom/Knull stuff when that hits.
  19. I really like this wave and a Herbie is a major plus point. Was going to grumble about not getting a proper Human Torch just a Johnny Storm with flame bits but after googling what a full on Torch looks in this current set up of the team I'm fine with how you have done it.
  20. By be at you mean have something on their socials as SDCC is not on this year
  21. What happens in the Jungle Room stays In the Jungle Room.
  22. Peg holes on bald or non slip on masked characters is one of my personal bugbears. Its not been that bad for a good few waves but when it happens it makes me seethe! I've not got around to ordering the latest wave So Moondragon had slipped my mind but a quick imige serch an yep head hole. ??
  23. Always cool to see tour customs an the backstories make them even better. Shockfox and Catspider standout for me of these. Shockfox just looks so right the parts the colours etc. An Catspider a punk Venom oh yea, looks like a great foe for Spider-Punk from the Spiderverse stuff.
  24. I'm not on Facebook at all so seeing stuff here is always good.
