Has anyone seen any Series 2 show up yet at TRU stores?

Along the same lines, we didn't get Darcy's male intern either. And we got Lady Sif (twice) without the full Warriors Three. And Aunt May (twice) with Uncle Ben only once.Which always makes me think of the grocery-shopping Spidey gif.

Happy Birthday!

When I was younger, my brothers & their friends wouldn't let me play with them in anything that didn't have a girl in it. (Mostly because they didn't want me playing with their stuff. LOL) I had Teela, I had Lady Jane (& Zartan's sister Zartanna), I had a mego WW, I had my mom's old Space 1999 people. Heck, I even had a Daisy Duke doll (& jeep). There have always, always been female figures. Sometimes, you just need to look. Conversely, look at Frozen (which I have zero interest in). You see tons & tons of toys featuring the 2 chicks & the snowman. Where are the dolls of the 2 dudes?? I don't think I've ever seen any. Aladdin, Eric, Beast, Mulan's guy & Prince Charming all have dolls. So clearly the dudes don't matter to the story?? Off-topic, I saw the new Mad Max last nite. Weird, very weird, but Charlize gets more screen time than Tom Hardy. On top of this misogynistic groups are calling for male boycotting.

This is why I love minimates (& Palz -- think Buffy) so much! I agree, DST should be very proud! I try to pick up every female 'mate -- with the exception of TWD zombies (scary!) -- just so DST knows that people want them & will continue to produce them. Sometimes I buy multiples even. It's also why I love MMMV as well. Sure, I might be among the minority being a chick, but I never feel like it here. I can talk sports, toys, comics, dolls (because there are threads for these things), or nerd out just like so many of us do.

UK, thank you for that. I have one question tho.... How do Kermit's feet reach the pedals to drive his car?? LOL

I collected Palz (my dad bought me every single one of the Die Hard ones) long before I started with minimates -- I have to say that I <3 Buffy (& Joss Whedon) so much! Once I saw the C3 set with Catwoman (which I bought, as well as Max from DA) tho, I found MMC & the AA forum. And I was hooked.

Welcome!

That is a great custom! Nice work!

Thanks!

Welcome!

I'm not very good at waiting -- patience is NOT one of my virtues -- so when this package arrived today, I opened it. Seriously amazing from start to finish! The wrapping paper, the card, the candy & all the other goodies! I don't know if you can see the custom Rocket Skywalker amongst everything, but he is soooo cute! So many treats that I went from squeeing to crying/shaking in no time flat. Thank you so so so so so very much, J (YB)!!

Welcome! Just so you know, around here 'mates are the least of your worries -- it's a gateway for collecting other stuff, too. (Damn everyone & their Funko Pop addictions.)

Sad to see you go, D, but I wish you all the best! Like PL said, stop in every once in awhile to say "hi."

Ted Kennedy's name is actually Edward Moore Kennedy -- how anyone gets "Ted" is beyond me.

I vote Stan the Man, Spider Noir, then Peter Porker.

Happy belated Birthday!!

Never would have thought of that. Thanks, MS! In my mailbox was a package I've been eagerly awaiting. It's the Turflytle that Shogi made for me!! Buzz buzz! Thanks, S!!

I like the fact that you can pose-manipulate the Series 2 'chuks (exactly like Zach's pic), but then I also have the ones from Series 1 as well.

Happy Birthday, guys!

My case:Bradford Raph x2 Splinter x2 Mikey x2 Donnie x2 Karai x2 Leo x2 Casey x2 Norman x3

Happy Birthday!!

Danny Trejo!! Looks like he should be easy to grab an extra & mod into Bubble Boy DT! Also... I get a whole "lady vibe" from the thermal one (maybe cuz the head is slightly slimmer than the others). And J, your twitter response made me spit soda!

Welcome! Make sure you go introduce yourself properly in the intro thread (so we can learn more about you). EDIT: It sounded waaaayyyyy less creepy in my head. Sorry.

The series 2 case arrived today -- so cute!!! My favorite so far.
