Turtle

His hair has been lightened, but it's never been what I would call blond, and it's gotten darker with every movie. That beard is certainly not blond in Infinity War images that have been released.

When conversations like this come up, I wonder where the backlash was against Chris Evans as Cap. He's supposed to be blond, not brunette! Horrible casting choice? Uninspired? Lazy? Compromising the character? Domino is supposed to be visually striking. The movie version does that. Ok by me. I'm sure the film makers we're looking for someone that would bring the necessary attitude to the part, and that should be what matters most. And I'm sure Deadpool will have a forth-wall-breaking quip about it in the movie.

Hey man, hate to hear you'll be leaving, but I'm in the same boat.

I'm looking forward to the Justice League figures, especially the more vibrant colors on Superman. The Thor stuff looks great, but I'll probably go with Mezco's 1:12 Thor and Hulk instead. ROTJ Endor Luke. That's a conundrum. I'll probably get Jedi Luke and try to grab the helmet, poncho, and belt down the road. I don't know. I wish those two weren't on deck at the same time. The Endor gear seems like it could have been included as either a Deluxe or Exclusive version. Endor Leia looks great. It would be nice to see Endor and ESB variations of Han.

Scorpion fits the bill too. (I wouldn't count DA Spiderman or TBolts Venom as Scorpion)

I don't recall Hiroim wearing anything like that in the comics.

My guess for bug dude is Miek, one of Hulk's Warbound buddies from Planet Hulk. I'm guessing Easter Island guy is Korg the Kronan.

It's still pronounced "meery" regardless of what you say.

He brought us up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set us upon a rock and established our goings. Book of Minimates 5:9

Fun fact: Stephen Merchant is actually a large bio-mechanical robot suit. That's why he's so... off-putting? awkward? The real Stephen Merchant is actually a small fur-ball my cat coughed up that somehow gained consciousness. It was a bit of inspired casting, really.

Yeah, that's the unused Caliban design.

There's also the fact that WW needed to be inspired by the end of the war. Seeing a sacrifice to save the peace agreement (Peace at any cost!) gave her faith in humanity. I just can't see the end of WW2 having that same effect- holocaust, nuclear bombs (dropped by the "good" guys no less), birth of the Cold War- none of that really fits with the theme. And it was nice to get a different world war than the one we normally get.

thanks, man. This thread needed that. Good to see you posting.

Well look who it is! This thread is sadly lacking in comprehensive character histories. How about a Mirypedia entry for Mastermind?

Been reading the Wheel of Time books for a little over a year. About half way through now. I finished 11/22/63 yesterday, and I read Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick (she's just so darned cute!) last weekend. I'm reading Wheel of Time in physical form, but I read a lot on my Kindle too. Time to pick out something new now that 11/22/63 is done. I've got the Gunslinger on standby, but I think I want to take a Stephen King break for a minute as I've read It and The Stand this year as well. I'm also listening to Olympos on Audible. Illium/Olympos is pretty fun if you're into sci-fi and Greek mythology, but not as good as the Hyperion series

And, lo, when the amphibian croaks among us and one master of minds replaces the other and the blurred and the grey both become green, the poster shall be complete, and there will be peace in the multiverse. The Book of Minimates 6:22

I am pleased. The best part of this set, other than Toad, Quicksilver, Mastermind, and Marvel Girl, is the complete lack of tigers.

Very cool. Hela looks great.

It absolutely failed the Bechdel test, BUT when women set out to make a movie and don't use that as a benchmark of any kind, I'm not sure it's completely fair to hold it against them. "Hey, women, be more feminist! No, not like that kind of feminism, THIS kind of feminism." I know where you're coming from, Nessex, but when a Blockbuster like this has more women seeing it than men, I think it's safe to assume they're doing it right. Re IM2: it's not a great movie. It's decent, but not great and relies on RDJ instead of telling a good story. Plain and simple. Strangely, it's Tony Stark's plans that come crashing down instead of the villain's. Because he essentially was the villain. I remain convinced that Gary Shandling was Hydra in CA:TWS to justify Tony bring a dick to him. Otherwise he and Rhodey were the heroes.

To be fair though, that version of Magneto is bald, so a hairpiece wouldn't make sense.

With TRU.com, anything is normal.

I guess she's been made, but comic Nebula as the cosmic character would be cool.

Thor! Of course! Who else would have a blond beard?

Awesome! What face is that on IF?

In my area the movie waves sell pretty well at TRU. They typically get full sell through while comic waves linger a little longer, a couple sets indefinitely.
