  1. Just got the TRU Thor movie wave! Sif and Volstagg! Woo! Super gutted though, bought a Thor army dump box off ebay, SPECIFICLLY to get Laufey, and the seller had swapped out Laufey for a regular Frost Giant. DENIED!
  2. I love G.I.Joe, especially the Dreadnoks, the denim an' leather lovin' heavy metal bikers, I wanted a name as a Dreadnok and really liked Rocksteady, figuring that I headbang to metal all the time, and if I were in the Dreadnoks I'd be the guy giving custom airbrushed paint jobs to everyones' sick rides, so I figured Rocksteady also referenced my painting/sculpting skills. The avatar is the back of my denim jacket, with Zartans' skeleton playing dice/cards and drinking Lambs' Navy rum. Best rum there is!
  3. AWESOME shots, Monte! Tough call, but my favourite is the shot of Jaga. Epic...
  4. I would buy them all! I need a Kreo Zartan! Well, Buzzer, Ripper, Torch and Monkeywrench would also be very welcome! DREADNOKS RULE!
  5. I totally agree! These are some of the best minimates ever made, and that's saying something! I love every minimate I own, but the Thundercats are just epic! They're on my desk at work, so I can see them all day! I can't wait to get the next two sets! If there is a chance of another box set containing Mumm Ra the Ever Living in his powered up form (YAY!) I'd love to see the Snow Man of Hook Mountain in there, and his battle steed Snowmeow! Or Mongor! Or a Tuska Warrior! Or Grune the Destroyer! Or Pumyra, Lynx-O and Bengali! I LOVE THUNDERCATS!
  6. If you guys like this, check out the Conan and Predator musicals the same guy has done!
  7. The little purple dude is a wolfrat. Honestly, I can't even remember seeing them in the series, so I googled the little fella... 'The Wolfrat is the twenty eighth episode of Thundercats. Vultureman builds an infiltration robot and Mumm-Ra arms it with miniaturization gas which then shrinks the ThunderCats to nine inches in hight. They must rely on a normal size Snarf to help them defeat the robot. Tygra manages to create an antidote for the gas, just in time to fight the mutants who were attacking. Snarf gets another dose of the antidote, and doubles in size. He chases all the mutants out of the lair, but ends up hitting his head on a lot of doorways. ...aaaaaaand now I remember that episode. It was not that awesome compared to other episodesof the series.
  8. Yep, and that my middle name is 'Danger'! Actually, my middle name is 'I think I'll have another beer...'
  9. Decepticon Bebop! I like it! Way better than Rulon Baxter Stockman!
  10. WOOHOO! I'll have to give Luke a shout! Don't worry, I'm not selling MY soul, I'll go out and steal other peoples'! They're not really using them that much, anyway...
  11. Holy guacamole do I wish I was going there! Have a freakin' AWESOME time there, guys, drink some beers for me! I will also offer money or human souls for Thundercats minimates sets 2 and 3!
  12. I'm totally gonna have to pick up the Plas book! I got the Etrigan the Demon book and it was epic! Full of Kirbyesque pencilly goodness!
  13. Welcome, man! I promise I won't ask any questions about the Bermuda Triangle. I'm really into supernatural unexplained stuff...
  14. I want Ninja Turtles minimates! They're the worlds' most fearsome fight-ii-iing te-ea-am! They're heroes in the half shell and they're gre-ee-een! Yep, now the theme tune's in your head! Raphael is cool but crude! gimmeabreak! Michaelangelo is the party dude! PAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAARTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
  15. WOOHOO! Thanks so much, man, I really appreciate it! Yeeeeaaaaaaaaah!!! I'm a dreadnok, I'm a dreadnok, I'M A DREADNOK!!! ROCK AN' ROLL! Seriously though, thanks, dude!
  16. Hey, sorry to be asking favours as such a newbie, but is there any chance I could change my name to Dreadnok Rocksteady, please? That would be super duper awesome! I've felt more and more that the Slippery Weasel name implies I'm a shifty thieving sly git, which I'm not. I'd call myself more of a rambling illogical heavy metal hippie. If the name change is cool, that would be super aces. Many thanks, Nick.
  17. That's what I love, you can, with a bit of patience, find all the minimates you are looking for! The little addictive blighters! One day... one day those For a Few Dollars More minimates will be MINE! When I get the mutant minimates I'm gonna rock up a Sky Cutter and Nose Diver out of lego, and post some plans of how to make 'em, if anyone else is interested. I might make a Mumm Ra sarcophagus, too!
  18. Has anyone tested the Lord of the Rings Minimates in the lego sets for scale? I'd love to get the Moria set, but I reckon they'd be out of scale.
  19. Only 3000? Holy guacamole I'm glad I've got the first set! I reckon this set will be the most saught after in a few years, what with Lion-o and Panthro in it. These are some of the best Minimates, ans some of the best action figures, I have ever bought. I love these WAY more than the Bandai Lion-o and Tygra figures! Completely irrelevent to this thread, but I just ordered the Thor Movie minimates army dump box from ebay and found out there's only 500 of Laufey and Selvig in the WORLD! I cannot WAIT to get Laufey!
  20. The torsos and heads are rotocast, while the arms and accessories are injection moulded, so they feel quite light compared to an urban vinyl figure. In the plus column though, the vinyl actually has a better finish than the resin prototypes.
  21. The mystery tardis variant is with glow in the dark windows, and the mystery Doc is with a blue shirt!
  22. Oh man, I'm gonna have to check that out! I've got a whole lotta love for the madness that is Plas! Also, have you seen him in The Brave and the Bold? Man, I love that show! There is no action figure that could ever be made that would encompass even the tiniest fraction of what Plas can do. I'm so gutted that all the good DC Classics figures are con exclusives. Lobo now goes for about 90 bucks, and so does Plas. Not fair, man!
  23. Thanks for all the awesome welcomes, dudes! BHM, wow, dude, you hit the big guns with the 'Laughing Gnome'! That's like the ultimate Bowie top trump! That's like Galactus, Hordak and Chuck Norris combined!
  24. Thanks for all the welcomes, dudes! I sincerely apologise for my being a chronic plonker. The fact that I got the 'Stones and Bowie mixed up is an epic fail on my part, that I cannot remedy with words. To apologise for this I present this, the high point of their respective careers...
  25. I've seen some up close pics of these figures, they are really shoddy, poorly sculpted, especially considering they're from scan data, and are at a different scale to the Toy Biz stuff, which is a shame, because I went bat poop mental for the Toy Biz figures.
