  1. Many thanks :thumbsup:

    Whenever a new Marvel minimate figure is solicited I always think about whether it is 'deserved' .  That might sound a bit pompous of me & probably is but it works for me :D

    Bullseye is deserved.  We've had 4 Bullseyes ( I wait for the response  "4?" ) & the last one was (apart from a zombie) 15 years ago !  It is expensive on eBay & was pretty rare even when it was released IMHO.   Good choice .

    I have to agree that ...with my new found knowledge....a Bullseye army builder seems wishful thinking .

    I am not up to speed on Echo as a character but a brief trawl of the internet reveals that her suit/uniform is hardly 'unique' &  I can think of several existing Minimates that 'would do the job' .

  2. Luke, I now recall you showing me these before & I was stumped then .  There are still kubricks that appear online (in Japan) that are new to me , generally they are promos & generally they are still bagged so that makes it easier to verify them as genuine kubricks.My gut feeling is that these are not kubrick promos & I am fairly certain they are not mainstream. 

    Are there peg holes on the bottom of the feet ?

     

  3. Struth !:thumbsup:

    My best mate emigrated to Oz in 1982 , I saw 'Dundee' 4 years later & I was hooked on the idea of eventually going out & meeting up with my old cobber one day.  1988 saw me spending months in hospital after a car crash , during those months I decided that "F*ck it" I won't be waiting around any longer when I get out of here .  1989 I arrived in Brisbane ,fell in love with Australia & returned another 4 times over the next 10 years!  

    My point ...if you're missing it...is that Crocodile Dundee wasn't just a movie, it was, for me, an epiphany . 

  4. Bearbricks ?  You just have to admire the amount of licences that they have covered which is mind-boggling but they are visually horrendous IMHO. :yucky:  

    Fake & trick ....they are the ones with the clock/meters on their faces /chests I recall ?

    The irony of Hitchcock kubricks wasn't lost on me :thumbsup:

     

  5.  Kubrick cases, that most of my displayable kubricks are housed in, are unbeatable .

    Why on earth are the bases on these ones black ?:thud:

     

    Kubrick cases were 'similar' yet so dissimilar .....they had clear bases that incorporated a stud for holding the figure & were stackable upwards ,downwards & sideways   .

    Kubrick cases are (were?) beautifully designed . They were also expensive but they also became 'de rigueur' for those nutty collectors who had opened their blind-box packaged kubricks ......you could open your package & then entomb your figure in its new ,clear ,visually enjoyable Medicom approved case .  Then you could stack it up with the rest of the collection . They were nigh on perfect... except when you wanted to get at the ones in the middle of the stack !

     

    minimateship - I remember the cubes , somewhere in a box they do lie .

  6. I've just ordered the latest Kubrick figures which are a  standard size (100%) & a 400% 'Alfred Hitchcock '.  I can't get too excited by them because ,TBQH ,they look extremely weird ....even for kubricks ! They look more like Bearbricks 'bodywise' with  Hitchcock stylised heads.
