THE_CRIPPLER

I started a thread in the minimate arms section for us to talk about the movie, including spoilers. Lets not post anything about the movie here. There are some great surprises that we don't want accidentally spoiled for others.

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread here so that people don't post about the movie in the Infinity War minimates thread. I went and saw it last night and loved it. Thanos was fantastic. It was nice to have a villain in a superhero movie who wasn't so one dimensional. Steppenwolf is the perfect example of a crappy one dimensional villain. Thanos had a reason for the things he did. It wasn't just to go around conquering planets. He actually though he was saving them in the long run. What were others thoughts on it? I loved the return of the Red Skull, and the banter between Stark and Strange when they first met was great also. At this point I am thinking the next Avenges movie is either going to deal with time travel, or someone will get the gauntlet from Thanos and reverse everything he did. I can see Star Lord being the one to do that if that is what they do.

I am still looking for the Chameleon set. They never showed up at the Pensacola TRU.

I'm really liking this wave. I like that we have got quite a few Spider-man waves lately (or Spidey related minimates). I still wish they would release a new Kraven, Vulture, Scorpion, and Electro though. Hopefully they concentrate on something other than Spider-man, X-men, or Avengers for the next wave. I think we are way overdue for a Hulk wave. We could us a new Leader and Abomination minimate. Plus throw in a bearded Doc Green Hulk, Red She-Hulk, Totally Awesome Hulk, and maybe a Wendigo minimate or a new Rhino minimate.

I usually find them within a few days of hearing that others have found them, but I have had no luck yet with this wave. I also just wanted to state that the designs for the characters in the new Spiderman cartoon are horrible. I don't see this cartoon series lasting long at all. I have not seen anyone say anything positive about the cartoon thus far. It would be amazing if DST was able to get licensing for the DC comics animated movies. Those have been amazing over the years. The new Suicide Squad animated movie was much more enjoyable than the live action movie. We would never see that happen though unfortunately.

I caught the joke immediately. Thank god that new Diesel and new Razor Ramon gimmick crashed and burned or we probably never would have got Kane.

I would love a 90's era Ghost Rider wave Ketch Ghost Rider Blaze Vengeance Zarathos Lillith Blackout Deathwatch 90's Morbius 90'S Blade Frank Drake Hannibal King

I had no problem getting them this afternoon. What is up with the infinity gauntlet though? That thing is smaller than Thanos' hand. He needs to get O.J.'s defense team if he is ever tried for his crimes against earth. He would be walking out of the courtroom a free man in no time.

Two of the 3 packs are on the Toys R Us website right now. Grab em before the Ebay sellers do. No Chameleon pack available unfortunately.

I would prefer to see a 90's X-Factor wave first before a Generation X wave. I am surprised that we haven't seen an X-Factor wave by now. I keep thinking of making customs of the team, but think that we will probably get them at some point so I keep putting it off. Something like this: Havok/Polaris, Strong Guy/Wolfsbane, Val Cooper/Exodus, or Haven, Multiple Man/Quicksilver, Multiple Man/Random.

Deal if they have them! I will check tomorrow. .Either way I really could use that Noir Spidey.

I see they are being shipped from Alabama. I should check my local Walgreens tomorrow and see if there are any in stock.

Black Tom was my guess also. I can't wait to see how he looks.

Are those some sort of new arms and I believe legs that the Venom minimate has? They look bigger than normal ones, but don't look to have the bulked up parts on them. The link above from Gmonkey shows them a bit better.

So that leaves us with 2 X-men and an Iron Man variant to be unveiled yet. I am hoping for Iron Doom and Gambit and Rogue.

No spoilers please. I am just wondering what others thought. I would compare it to the Wonder Woman movie by saying Hollywood totally over-hyped it. It wasn't bad by any means, but was not that great either. The cgi was pretty bad at times, especially during fight scenes. Some of the scenes were so dark it was hard to tell what was going on. Maybe that was done to cover some of the shoddy cgi? I don't feel the need to sit and watch it again. I kinda feel the same as with the DC movies. Once is enough for me.

That looks and sounds bad. I wonder if it is going to be as terrible as the new Spider-man cartoon. That show is mind-numbingly bad.

Fantastic. Thanks Shane. I noticed the trade thread and parts exchange thread are just as bad.

I drove to Florida today and checked out the TRU in Pensacola. They did not have any of series 25. I found 2 pegs full of Black Panther minimates when you first walk in by the Black Panther display, another 2 pegs full of them by the Marvel toys, and then another peg full of them by the adult collectors area. I swear it was at least 4 cases of them on the pegs, but not a single wave 25 pack. So damn disappointing. I also checked 2 Walgreens in Pensacola looking for Spider-man Noir, and the Scarlett Spider (Kaine) set but had no luck.

I still can't believe we haven't gotten a new Bullseye yet. The TRU one was nice, but impossible to find. A new one would be welcomed by most of us I am sure. A comic Black Panther would be nice too. The one we got had the eyes spaced way too far apart.

Shane is there any chance you could possibly delete the selling and trading forums and start fresh? It is tough to find anything because most posts are so outdated (years and years old). Most people aren't even active on here. It takes forever to find an updated list of what a person is selling or trading.

Thanks Onyx. I would look in the Madison area myself, but I moved to southern Alabama a little over a year ago.

I feel your pain. I have been to probably 8 different Walgreens numerous times looking for this set and have had no luck. This one and the Spider-man Noir set are my two most wanted animated releases. I have had no problems finding the others that have been released. Sadly I can still find some from series 1 and 2 in my area that no one seems to want.

I am just waiting with fingers crossed for an update to the 90's X-men wave we got. Kind of like what they did with the GSXM characters. There are enough characters from the 90's team(s) to easily make 2 waves.

I forgot all about Pitt. Add in some decent Witchblade and Darkness minimates also. Image has had some many awesome comics over the years. A line of Image comics minimates would kick ass.
