It is surprising to me, having never seen the Expendables, how recognizable many of those faces are in Minimate form!

The TRU Amazing Spider-Man exclusives look good, and the Lizard looks like a home run, love the new legs and poseable tail!

Thor's swinging hammer effect looks great!

Who is the female Venom? I love the Eddie Brock transformation, great job!

That Hulk set is made of Win. Maestro is one of my most wanted mates, as is Mr.Fixit, cave-Hulk and Composite Hulk just look cool... so for me it’s a perfect set, I’ll take 8! Venom set also looks pretty great.

Also Movie Lizard Minimate is cute as hell and I’m 85% convinced Movie Peter Parker has the Freakazoid hair I’ve been looking for! So that’s pretty spiff too!

The highlights for me were the X-Men wave and the Hulk Through the Ages set. I can't wait for those!! I really like the Walking Dead zombies too. Although they aren't quite as interesting as Maximum Zombies, I love the new pieces and the facial expressions. And how cool is the bulked up Rhino? So much awesome stuff overall! DST definitely hit a homerun this year.

Did anyone else crack up when they saw Spock in the Enterprise body?

As far back as I can remember, this is probably the best showing of Minimates at TF I've ever seen. As Zach promised, I feel blown away.

Although, as much as I'm thrilled to see Trek getting a bone thrown at it, I'm screaming inside that we're getting another Kirk and Spock. Had that been an Enterprise D with two TNG characters (in time for the anniversary) I'd be much more excited.

Whoa, I'm a little overwhelmed. Everything looks so good... :wub:

Quick thoughts:

-I see we're still pushing the X-Men. :rolleyes: That's okay, because at least there are several here that I actually want! Thrilled about Longshot and Dazzler. Glad I never made those customs! New Colossus looks terrific, as does new Havok. Even Rogue and Storm, two of my least favorite characters ever, look fantastic.

-Modok might have gotten some competition for Minimate of the Year in the Brood Queen.

-Gotta say, it's amazing how much seeing actual samples changes my opinion of these things. A lot of the Minimates I was on the fence about (like Prof. Hulk) just look great.

-Stone Cold's got a bulked up chest! :biggrin: Gimme a hell yeah!

-If that's not Lara Croft, I don't know whom it could be.

-Alpha Flight begins! This is exactly what I was hoping we'd get (a box set filled out by a two-pack or two). Glad I never got started on that Box custom!

-I was surprised to see the Venom set, but man, do they look great. Suck it, Lee Burns!

Too much goodness, guys. Too much. Fantastic work, and I won't even point out that there's not one new Avengers member here! :biggrin:
