  1. I like this set, I know lots of people wanted doc ock upgrade, but personally i think rhino needs it the most before ock. But'm i'm okay with getting a new one. Totally love vulture. I like the old black cat figure, and even tho' i really like black cat, i'd prefered just about any other classic spidey baddie. Lizard, Jackl, man-wolf.. and especially morbius, i'd even take hypno hustler. But with this i feel the only essential big bads for spidey thats left id lizard. Theres still otheres I'd get, but if the line were to end suddenly it would feel incomplete minus lizard. I may turn black cat into black canary.
  2. I'm really happy i just found all of wave 2 of the TRU sets over in the escondido TRU here in San Diego. I was getting kinda worried i've never really had any problems getting TRU minimate exclusives before, but wave 1 of the GB's was the only wave i never found all of, I still need courtoom peter set, and transparent slimer. But wave 2 is so much cooler than wave 1. just in love with all the figures, awesome to fiiiiiiiiiiiiinally have a complete set of ghostbusters after so long.
  3. Wow these mates really kick ass, very powerful line up. Usually theres like a set i'll end up skipping on. Or they pack like one good character with someone lame i don't care about. But the only figures i don't care about are x-23 and multiple man. I hate x-23 so much, and i woulda prefered any version of multiple man over the boring modern look. Yellow Jacket and Goliath are huge wins for me, since yellow jackets one of my favorite characters and most wanted avenger. So it's awesome to finally have him. Same with goliath. It's funny i used to think minimates were doing horrible when it came to avengers and that they seemed to get absolutley no love from them. But i'm actually getting to the point of feeling complete. The avengers i need still are Tigra, Black Knight, Falcon, Jocasta, and maybe jarvis. Now i'm interested in seeeing alpha flight and inhumans done. Totally love the kree, i wouldn't mind seeing some of the obscuer kree color variants like guys with different color trim. I will totally get like two or three of these guys. Titaniumman is inanley cool and my most wanted im baddie, love the figure just wish they coukld use the big body n him. Cable came out really nice, i really disliked the old cable mate it was terrible. FA angel is super nice i reallly want to see th rest of the FA x-men as mates. Captain marvel and blackbolt came out spectacular and again are huge character wants of mine. LIke cap and kitty but i wish we had gotten kitty in her classic black and yellow look that would be my first pick, this would be my second tho I really wish series 31 had a bad guy in it... we really really really need more bad guys badly.
  4. It does seem kinda fishy the difference between this and the final tally. Truth be told i like this line up it's pretty much what i would have wanted minus molecule man. That was the figure i wanted the most and am really bummed we didnt get him. We despretley need more bad guys, and when given the oppertunity to vote they voted for spidey varient great thats showing them. I really like this version of Doom, and i thought it'd make a sweet mate so i'm glad it won it would have been something i wanted. Captain Marvel, another big want of mine probably 2nd to molecule man to me in the vote. I actually like the beyonder mate. I wasn't looking forward to it cause the beyonder has a horrible gawdy costume, but it's been downplayed here when he got minmatized. Spidey isn't bad, but man what a waste. I never cared about mohawk storm, to me it's really low on the list i only need two storms. FA, and gold team, which they've done. I'd love to see another boxset theres so much great character potential with secret wars.
  5. While it is true drax was drawn as "space hulk" back during this event... I like this figure because it's more accurate to classic drax how he looked before that. He used to be just a regular sized guy, which is my preference. I pretty much want everything to be based on how it looked in the 70's and early 80's.
  6. Got my Aim guys today from BBTS, I got 3 sets, i fiure I'll get a 4th one from the TRU pack later. I might get more if they were on discount, or they pack aim guys with another army builder. Great little figure, love it now one of my favorites. IM's pretty cool too, thats my favorite IM armor, and i had the first one in my avengers display for awhile, and it was my favorite. But I'll probably throw the new IM in as default avengers IM. then with the extra add it to the IM armory.
  7. I've been collecting marvel minimates since the beggining and i much prefer for the most part more detailed mates. The old mates with no sculpted parts and all costume detail painted on seems so archaic to me. And the very early ones that were going for minimum line work as well, i guess they were shooting for the kubrick style initially. As for stuff that needs to be redone, well theres obvious stuff... Juggernaut, and pretty much everyone agrees is the figure most in need of a redo, they need to make him big. I agree with rhino as well, but I'm going to try and customize my rhino by merging him with the new ultimate hulk figure, it looks like there grey color might match, and i can put the hulks big chest on rhino hopefully. the cable, bishop set as well, pretty lame, all the straps should have been sculpted details added on. I also wish the marvel line went with the different sized bodies akin to the dc mates, i still think the dc mates are the best line so far. Marvels gotten allot better, but the size thing bugs me.
  8. WOW! I'm super excited by this boxset. I've always loved the cosmic stuff and felt one of the problems with this line is how under-represented it is in minimates. I love this set! adam warlock is so cool, and mephisto is off the charts. Drax is awesome too, i always suspected they'd do the god of war loooking drax, if they made him which i didn't like. Another cool thing bout draz is even tho it's a infinity gautlet and thats when drax started turning into a huge space hulk, when he gets minmated, his size makes him look just like good ol classic drax. I have the old thanos which s a reallly good figure, i hope this onemakes him a touch bigger. Thanks DST for representing more cosmic characters, I passed on the Gamora, Nova, set originally cause I only collect Classic Versions of 616 characters, but now i'm gonna pick it up to go with all this. So we got like Now we really, really, really need Captain Marvel [so perfec for variants], Annihilus, Ronan, The Watcher, and some kree army builders to go against the skrulls. Now if only they'd start doing more horror/monster based figures, thats another thing i find under-represented now.
  9. As others have said I think the wrecking crew would make the most absolutley awesome 4 pack. Becuse there super cool badguys and theres only 4 of them so you wouldn't feel incomplete. I suppose the f4 would be good too. The masters of evil would really lend themselves to some boxsets.... I also agree with whoever said the monster set with frankenstein, werewolf, zombie and dracula. I love the 70's marvel horror stuff allot, i also really want classic blade, and classic morbius along man-thing and manphibian.mm man those would be awesome 4 packs, they could release them for halloween.
  10. I really like all the ghosts i think they came out really nice in minimate form. I wonder if i should just skip the box sets and just get the 2-packs. Cause I never liked louis and dana minimates, and i always felt gozer looked kinda dumb. I think all the 2-pack ghost are allot cooler, but way to many gb variants..... maybe they could make a statue of liberty minimate.... ;-p
  11. I picked up two terminator sets from TRU today, the t-800/endo and the BD t-800/t-1000 set. These are the first movie based minimates i've picked up, i usually only collect the marvel and dc mates. But i really dig these and the ghost busters coming up. I really like the battle damed T800, he'd be most iconic terminator, but i wish he had regular arm and regular legs. I'm thinking of picking up an extra to swap parts on. I think there all nice, i agree that the endoskeleton looks better without the chest plate.
  12. I have no intrest in the Dark Avengers, totally passing the first set. But the second set I will pick up, but not to as dark avengers. I love that Ms Marvel Costume, and Hawkeyes my favorite Marvel character so I'd love to have another version of him. Not huge on sentry, but i'd work him into my display just cause i'll end up having him. Ares is cool, but i only collect classic versions of marvel characters.
  13. This set has some really great figures.... The hydra goon is my most wanted figure, i'm a little bummed by his bulky chest and "skirt" not matching making it seem un even. I wonder what the hydras chest looks like under the chest part. It'd be great if they had the yellow straps pained on so you don't have to have the big shirt. I think black panthers cool, but I'm totally stripinghis gear off an making him classic black panther. Moon Knight looks awesome, Love the spiked knukles. Storm, i like the way she turned out, I think they chose a great color for her. It's always been a fanboy debate on what color that costume actually is, so i'm surprised they didn't make her a color variant in the wave. X-force wolverine i have 0 intrest in, i don't like the look I'm so sick of all modern characters wearing to much black. Plus i only collect classic versions of minimates so i won't dislplay him. Armored daredevil, again no real intrest. Army Wolverine, i think if i'm army building the hydra i'd rather get them with the army wolverine figure. Cause it can almost be used as some kinda trooper. I'm trying to decide what exactly. maybe they'd go cool with sgt rock i dunno.
  14. I only want scorpion, Electro and the Vault guard from the set. I have no intrest in the others at alll. It reminds me of the early days with way to many lame spideys padding things. At least it's better than kissyface spidey. Even tho i'm spidey'ed out i actually liked all the spideys that came with the last spidey wave. The red and blue became my new default spidey, and the the symbiote spidey i never had.. well a non battle damaged version. And cosmic spidey i just consider captain universe. I'm tempted to cut out the little red face webing to make it more accurate to being "regular" captain universe. Anyway the only spidey i kinda like is the electro suit one, i have o intrest in spider-girl and i only collect classic 616 minimates so i don't need HOM stuff or ultimate stuff. On to the good stuff Scorpion, just about perfect, i was curious how they'd make his tail, now i'd like to see how they'll do the lizards tail. Electro, another simply awesome figure. Vault Gaurd is not something at the top of my wish lists but after seeing him he looks great, i'm down with getting him. I got no qaulms with him characterwise. I think i'd like to have 3 of him. I'd have two without the shoulder armor, then one with it.
  15. I whole Heartdly Agree with this statment. It's my one gripe with the line, dst's improved the line allot, but this is the one section i feel is lacking. Thankfully with the advent of the army builders that can help even things out more, but we still need many bad guys. Spideys villains have been pretty well represented but eveyone else needs more love. I don't ever really expect them to make more bad guys than villains, they just need more. Theres allot of high level ones totally untouched. I'm really surprised they havent made the brotherhood of evil mutants yet with all the x love. I'd love some people to lead our army builders like baron strucker, and the viper. Plus modok to lead all the AIM guys.. and theres so many masters of evil characters that'd probably make cool exclusives..... the wrecking crew.... It'd be cool if they made both baron zemo's via a variant.... I'd be totally down arnim zola... and obviously kang. just so much potential, but this is the one lacking department.
