Lobsterman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 So, Odin's staff isn't translucent after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Opaque is the new translucent. Forgot, there's also a tree limb looking staff thing not pictured. I had no idea who it went to and it seemed too thick for any of them to hold. There was a hair piece for Iron Man and Hawkeye, and the standard web line for Spidey too.

MINI_MYTE Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Does the Spidey have a plain or holed head ? Plain head MF UK. No hole. Edited August 24, 2012 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I had every wave of BSG Minimates before I'd seen an episode of the show & I recently watched the 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' for the first time .......purely because of the Minimates :biggrin: I was a fan of the show before getting into Minimates, but I was never a big fan of the Minimates, and most of them have ended up as custom fodder. But the missus and I have been rewatching it of late, and I find myself wanting the Minimates. Go figure. As for these sets.... they look (mostly) very nice from the pictures, but I still can't see myself wanting them enough to get the sets. I dunno, maybe the one with Odin and Hawkeye... I guess I can always throw Spidey and Iron Man into the ol' trade thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlecat Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Anyone managed to get the wrist spike things off Spidey? Tried freezing and hot water on mine, can't get 'em to budge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Anyone managed to get the wrist spike things off Spidey? Tried freezing and hot water on mine, can't get 'em to budge. My Spidey's gauntlets came off with a little bit of effort, but I did not have to resort to freezing them or stick them in boiling water. The silver paint from the gauntlets did not dry 100% and that's what's sticking to the forearm. Edited August 25, 2012 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 That Odin looks remarkable. An excellent looking monster... but that Grey Gargoyle has me desiring a "regular" version 100 times more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 So I picked up the Odin set, as UK bro Pete contacted me and said he only wants Iron Man and Spidey, which works out well since I only want Hawk and Odin. Teamwork! I'm attempting to make a Heroic Age Hawkeye by combining the parts for this guy with the Dark Avengers one. Not perfect, but not bad. The new Hawkeye parts are really cool. I really do expect that we'll get Hawk in the David Lopez-designed costume before too long, because I just can't imagine that AA designed all these cool new pieces to use one time. Odin is a really cool 'mate, except that mine has two left legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky_dive Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Just saw both sets (the Worthy and the Might) at a Newbury Comics in Boston along with the AvX x-men. Faneuil Hall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Both should be released on 08/15 (or, as we non-Americans say: 15.08.). Listed here. Maybe Luke knows more. DUDE HE BLINKS I never noticed that! :O Anywhich these minis look pretty good... But since I cared nothing for the story and will probably not use these costumes/characters outside that (other than Odin and he doesn't justify a full purchase) I don't think I'll be getting them.

stegron01 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Just got these - have to say I'm really impressed with them, but especially the worthy set who all look fantastic in my opinion! It's great to get a set of 4 villains and I would love to see the rest of the worthy made (as well as a regular grey gargoyle) to complete the set. I just hope that them being released so long after the story doesn't harm sales and thus put DST off from all villain sets in the future!

watchnerd Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 So I got both my Mighty and Worthy sets this week, and I'm really pleased with the quality of the minimates. However, I do have a question: Why is Hawkeye so tall? He's like a 2.5" figure, compared to the 2" of Iron Man and Spider Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawk_Jones Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Why is Hawkeye so tall? He's like a 2.5" figure, compared to the 2" of Iron Man and Spider Man. If your Hawkeye is anything like mine his legs just barely fit into the boots and do not slide down into them at all, which looks to add at least .25" to him. Plus his mask sits high on his noggin too, adding even a little mote height to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Man I love the Odin, IM, and Spidey from the Mighty set! Even Hawkeye who I thought I would add to my sell/trade pile is cool enough that I am going to keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
