  1. I used to just keep mine in my dresser drawers, back when I owned 600+ 'mates (before I sold my collection to Luke). That way they didn't get dusty.
  2. I've always been partial to the wave 32 Extremis Iron Man, myself.
  3. That and the fact that she was presumed dead for several years.
  4. We haven't had a new Wasp Minimate since that Avengers box set from way back when, have we? No. No we have not. Oddly enough. She could use another figure couldn't she? Definitely. I mean, the Wasp we have now is a great figure, but she's had so many different looks over the years, and it's been such a long time since that box set came out (at least 5 years, IIRC), that a new Wasp would definitely be welcome.
  5. We haven't had a new Wasp Minimate since that Avengers box set from way back when, have we?
  6. Weren't the Age of Apocalypse box sets from a few years ago NYCC exclusives?
  7. They're kind of obscure. How many non-comic readers would recognize Howard or Dazzler? On the other hand, even most people who have never read a comic book before will easily recognize someone like, say, Batman or Spider-Man. Even some comic readers might not be familiar with Howard or Dazzler. Granted, they're not as obscure as someone like Looter/Meteor Man, Man Mountain Marko, or Plantman, but they're not exactly household names, either. As for Howard's movie appearances...yes, Guardians of the Galaxy was deservedly extremely popular and no doubt gave him a lot of recognition, but I don't think that many people remember (or want to remember) his feature film. But then again, how many non-comic readers do you think saw GotG and recognized Howard? Not very many.
  8. If I had a better camera and if I was more creative, I'd definitely enter this, not for the prize, but just because it sounds like so much fun. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. Best of luck to everyone.
  9. It happens, but it's extremely rare. Of the literally hundreds of Minimates I've bought over the years, I've only experienced this once (one of my Aliens was missing an arm). DST has far fewer QC issues than any other toy line, at least from my experience.
  10. The moment the Howard/Dazzler 2-pack became a reality is the moment that argument got thrown out the window IMO. I'll admit that Howard the Duck definitely came out of left field, but this is far from the first time that DST made a Minimate of an unexpected and/or obscure character. That being said, I predict a Secret Wars or All New, All Different wave.
  11. I apologize in advance if this has been asked already, but will the colored version of the Mirage box set include a pair of spinning nunchucks, or is that exclusive to the black and white box set? Or are the two sets completely identical (other than the color, or lack thereof)?
  12. None yet, but I will keep that in mind. Thanks! That goes for everyone else, too. Btw, was it the Northtown Mall one? That's the one by me.
  13. I can check my local Walgreens. It's within walking distance. I don't know if they have anything, but I will check, just in case. If they do have any, I'll happily pick some up and sell them to anyone who's interested for cost + shipping.
  14. So none of the Minnesota Hot Topics have them yet, Luke? I don't collect the Nightmare Before Christmas 'mates, but I live just a few blocks away from a mall that has a Hot Topic store and I would be happy to check it out to help a fellow collector.
  15. So, will Billy only be available as a Blind Bag purchase?
