DSTZach Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think it was a conscious decision to keep proportions consistent for each character. So while Sagat is a tall dude -- which we can't really re-create with a character who doesn't wear a lot of clothes -- his mass makes him pretty proportionate, meaning adding any parts would make him look... off. Zangief is sometimes portrayed as being inhumanly beefy, but I think they gave Zangief and Marduk big chests only to differentiate them from legitimately bulky characters like Hugo, Rufus and Kuma. If we'd hit the size ceiling with Zangief, there would have been nowhere to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Series 2 pre-order and release pics are up at BBTS. I;ve never played the game, but I think these look pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Those do look nice. I just wish there were fewer SF 4 characters in these waves considering I'm buying almost exclusively the SF 2 characters. Are Minimates distributed in Asia at all (I understand they aren't in Europe)? Because it seems like Tekken is bigger there than it is the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I keep forgetting about these, wave 1 is due out in a few weeks right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroic Slacker Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Still want DoA mates, even if I'm the only one who would buy them... I'd buy a set Dinobot, I would love a Ryu Hayabusa minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 So, that's 4 sets down. We just need 4,996 more to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm in for some DOA mates! Ryu hayabusa is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquis de Carabas Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Series 2 pre-order and release pics are up at BBTS. I;ve never played the game, but I think these look pretty sweet. I'm so stoked to see Kazuya Mishima and Yoshimitsu getting their own mates, that i have to get both- even if they're paired with Abel and Ryu. As for wave one, I think I might just pick up the Sagat/King pack and try to trade someone for a Cammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnvil Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I saw that Zangief and Guile packs were bundled with pictures for the first series. I wonder what the other 2 packs will be for this wave? Hopefully Megaman and Pacman. I'm disappointed that Chun-Li and Ryu are getting more minimates, it seems like such a waste when someone like Rolento or Cody could get a minimate instead.

gambitron Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Anybody interested in just the Tekken mates? I am buying wave 1 for the SF mates and will be offloading the others so if you want a full set of Tekken ones let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAnvil Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Does anyone know who the TRU SFxT Minimate packs will include in wave 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawcanada Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm guessing Kuma, Heihachi, Hugo and Rolento? Those four have been shown but not in the previously "released" wave 2 pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnvil Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Oh really? Could you post the pictures of Hugo and Rolento sets? Edit: No need I found them. At least series 2 isn't all bad! More Final Fight characters to add to my MvC display, and what's more is that we get more Capcom villains!!! Kuma, too who is my favorite Tekken character! Are two series' all we're going to get of these SFxT minimates? Or are there more series planned? If they do another series then I hope they do these characters next: Cody, Guy, Blanka, Megaman, Vega and Dhalsim.

groundhog7s Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Series one hit TRU.com this morning, but it's the normal sample case scenario. But, that means they should show up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do another series then I hope they do these characters next: Cody, Guy, Blanka, Megaman, Vega and Dhalsim. I heard we're getting three waves, so Vega (either claw or dictator ) and Dhalsim are likely to be made. DLC characters I'm not so sure about. I personally want Cody, Guy and my main man Dudley but they're more likely to make up a fourth wave. Megaman and Pac Man are out of the question. One DLC guy MAY make it through and frankly as long as it isn't Sakura *shudder* I'm happy. I suspect it will be Blanka as he's the only mainstream/overused/SF2 character in the DLC roster.

fwoosheyman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 If there is a third wave and we don't get Vega, Dhalsim, Balrog, & Blanka I'd be very disappointed. Series 2 is really weak on classic SF characters. Series 3 needs to finish up the classic core. And thanks groundhog for the tru.com news I was able to get the Ken and Sagat packs.

Why would Megaman and Pacman be out of the question? They're Capcom and Namco owned characters the same as SF and Tekken so the licensing wouldn't be any different would it? They'd at least make for a great Comic Con exclusive pack or something. Edited August 24, 2012 by TheAnvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I'd prefer Classic or X to BBA but I suppose the parts he'd come with would allow people to make easier Classic/X customs. Plus a Mokujin Mecha would be AWESOME!
