Rock Steady

I was thinking of using the TRU 16 Iron Man (the one with Rhino, think it's wave 16) feet, I dunno if it would be accurate to how Resuce looks, but I love how those Iron Man boots look, so if the paint matches, I'm gonna use those ones.

Personally, I found the Logan/Scott/Jean love triangle incredibly forced in the movie and not helped by me feeling as if Famke Janssen and Hugh Jackman didn't have such great chemistry. I felt that plot line was the low point of all the movies. Like, out of all the time Logan's been alive, all the people he's met and knew and watched die, what makes Jean so special?

Just kinda curious about this, is there anything you really would've changed about these 'Mates, Zach? Personally, I love almost all the ones you made for the movie, I think it got out a bulk of the cast plus some awesome Wolverine looks. But I definitely would've made Shingen in the samurai armor, or maybe just given him a few samurai pieces to place over the suit (much like he did at the end). Past that, I think we got a REALLY nice movie wave. Got almost all the main cast and like I've said before that's why I love getting the movie 'Mates over what most other companies put out because you guys always get a great bulk of the main cast out there, I love it! But now I'm just rambling haha Is there any different looks or characters you'd have picked for this wave?

That look is one of my favorites for Punisher. I thought Rucka's run was the best thing to happen to Frank since Ennis's 60 issues of Punisher MAX. Really hopping we eventually get the beard and eye bandage look. Until then though, I think this is definitely gonna be my default Punisher. Just a great looking 'Mate. Thought of trying a QC with the Amazon exclusive Rick Grimes? HAIL IVAN I never really though of using that head. I have an unfinished kitbash sitting around with an Origins Logan head and Nova/Sam hair with an eye patch made out of some white sticker paper with some lines drawn on. I might revisit it though with that Rick's head, thanks for the suggestion, man!

I actually really like the idea of a "New FF" boxset. I've always liked that idea and the uniforms and been looking for a way to make customs of them. Plus, the idea of the alt pieces for a Savage Grey Hulk is just really cool.

I don't mind getting Norman (totally easy Tex Richman custom lol), but if I had to chose between the two, Harry seemed to totally be the way to go. A lot of the picks in this wave just seem really odd. Hopefully there will be some way to round out the cast. Has there been any word of TRU not picking up an exclusive for this? EDIT: Ah, well, never mind some of my post then haha just saw Zach's!

Agreed with that! Really was hoping we'd get Harry in this assortment. It overall seems a little lackluster. Would've vastly preferred Rhino over just plain Aleksei, and another set of Peter and Gwen? Why? Much rather would've gotten Peter/Harry or Gwen/Harry, no need for them both. Interesting about Smythe, though. Sucks we aren't getting a Goblin :/ Oh, well. Hopefully they'll at least be visually appealing or something! I have some faith in DST to knock this wave out of the park, even if it isn't the best character selection, in my opinion.

I actually love how Punisher and Elektra came out. I'm probably one of the few people who's warm to her because I have yet to pick up and Elektra. Deadpool looks awesome, I actually dig that unmasked face more than the wave 28 one. The face just feels so Deadpool, but I would have preferred if he had pupils. Punisher is one of my favorite Marvel characters so any 'Mate of him is welcome, and this one seems to be perfect. My only complaint is that I wish he had two different torsos instead of reversible. Would be a great way to get the coatless look. Here's hoping we get one of how he looked in Rucka's run one day, that look with the bandaged eye was tops. Red Hulk seems like a great update, and the transforming Ross underneath is awesomely done. This set just looks really cool!

Wait, so is that something actually being released? Because both of those look REALLY awesome!

Does Red Hulk have a normal Minimate crotch or one of those extended ones?

I'm fine with having not gotten the giant robot Silver Samurai, but I really wish we got that badass samurai armor Shingen wore when fighting Wolverine. That would've been an awesome 'Mate.

Dang, sad to hear that TRU is ditching Thor AND Cap on the supplemental packs :/ Do you know and/or can say if that's how it's gonna be for movie waves going forward? If so, is there anything you could workout like a boxset, like pk13 said or maybe some form of con exclusive?

I'm actually really excited for this line up. I kinda fell out of Marvel comics, so I'm sure I'm in a minority when I say I always look forward to receiving movie waves because that's where I get most of my Marvel exposure. This sounds like a solid assortment and hopefully TRU will have some exclusives. I'm pretty excited to add Sitwell to my movie S.H.I.E.L.D. 'Mates, especially after his cameo in this weeks Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode.

That's actually really genius, I think. Would've never guessed Sin Eater! Again, very awesome.
