boyd Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Zach, I would give you good cash money (that's you, not just Diamond) if you helped make a line Jack Kirby Marvel Monster Minimates happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I never, ever want to see the phrase "Gambit bringing up the rear of this trio" again. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) What's Cyclops through the ages without Erik the Red? If we're getting a 4-pack with Erik the Red, Corsair better be in there, too (though, I'd much rather have him in a Starjammers set - Corsair, Hepzibah, Raza & Ch'od). :biggrin: EDIT: You were totally talking about Scott Summers Erik the Red. I'd love a Davan Shakari (Shi'ar) Erik. :tongue: Edited March 1, 2012 by TENIME_art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Can you believe Zach's paid for this? This is part of his job. And, I should add, you do it well. Edited March 1, 2012 by hellpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Can we rename this thread "Best of Cyclops: Swimsuit Collection" now?? Edited March 1, 2012 by Twisted Two-Face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Zach, I would give you good cash money (that's you, not just Diamond) if you helped make a line Jack Kirby Marvel Monster Minimates happen. Those would be fantastic. Goom, Googam (son of Goom), Fin Fang Foom and even Sporr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I would totally buy that Slim Summers mate, but the tampo for his plaid pants would probably cost way too much... Sunburned Wolverine Hmm, can Wolverine get sunburned though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 A Cyclops Through the Ages set would have to include Beach Fun Cyclops: (image cut for space) duh, TRU companion 2-pack (Starlight mint sold separately) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate_studio Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Maybe I'll just derail threads from now on. Here's the Best of Cyclops set I want to see: This image will haunt me for a while, so I wanted to repost it to make sure it sticks with everyone else, too. The look in Gambit's eye. Bishop's mullet blowing in the breeze. The shortest man shorts to ever wear while going for a jog on a beach with other dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Sunburned Wolverine Hmm, can Wolverine get sunburned though? I dunno - I just assumed he would, considering he's Canadian, and they only get the sun six weeks of the year, right? Kidding - don't hate me anyone in Canada.

TENIME_art Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 That's not the issue. Would his healing factor allow it? He can't get tattoos because they don't last more than an hour, so would he even get red enough to burn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Well, since he can smoke cigars without fear of cancer, I'd say no. Getting a sunburn is too slow a process, his skin would start healing well before anything happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a sunburn is too slow a process, his skin would start healing well before anything happened. Oh, I agree. Wolverine's healing factor wouldn't allow his skin to get a little pink. But the idea of a sunburned Wolverine having to put on aloe amuses me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 as you can see, the only meat he has to worry about burning, is not his own still got the entire set of those cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Coming full circle with Beach Fun Wolverine - I love it! The minimate needs to have that hot dog on his claws or I will be upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 In that New X-Men story where Wolverine and Phoenix fly into/near the sun, I think that counts as being sunburned. Supports a theory that Wolverine can get sunburned but would quickly heal and peel. I don't think he would tan, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 as you can see, the only meat he has to worry about burning, is not his own still got the entire set of those cards I do too. I was in 5th grade at the time and I remember that we (my comic pals and I) all got in trouble with the school when they started catching glimpses of OTHER cards in that set: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Archangel knows what he likes when he sees it. Never noticed the X-Men underwear either. re: Best of Thing, does he headpiece actually push on far enough, that his brow is in place (like the box art)? All the pictures I've seen, it looks like he is wearing a silly hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I heated mine in hot water, then glued the MO-FO down on the head so that the sculpted brow covers the tampo'ed one. Here's a wonderfully blurry picture: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tones Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I picked up the Spidey/Green Goblin set today. I love it! a revisit of the very first minimate set I bought at Target way back when. good times :biggrin: I'll be grabbing Iron Man and the Thing next week but, i am having trouble putting the alt Peter and Norman heads on the bodies. it seems like the peg holes on the heads are too small. i can force Normans head on but Peters just wont pop on fully. is anyone else having this problem?

dj87 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Got the Spidey and Wolverine sets today, these look wonderful, probably my favourite mates to date. So bright, colourful, and the perfect balance between simplicity and detail. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Got the whole set from Luke the other day... For being a bunch of retreads... I must say they're at least good minimates. Much like the heroes and villains boxed sets in some cases... back when those were released. Can I first just say, I'm happiest with Iron Man because I'm finally, at long last THRILLED to have an updated Iron Man that's flat Red and Yellow, and not Candy Apple Red and Gold. There are SO many times I've seen an Iron Man I love, but was disappointed they went with the shiny colors. I have DOZENS of Shiny Iron Men that barely register as different! I don't NEED anymore! lol... Even a few had flat colors in prototype pics, but got changed to shiny for production, which irked me, lol... I've longed for an updated flat colors Iron Man, that looked more detailed and fancy than the original one from so long ago. I'm so happy to finally have one! Moving on... I love Wolverine. He's probably my favorite Wolverine ever. I was never happy with 90s Wolverine's colors... the blue was too dull... I always wanted a brighter blue, that popped, like Secret Invasion Wolverine. This one rectifies that problem. Sabretooth is a minor change on the original, but an all around improvement imo. The colors are just a tad more accurate than the original, little more yellow-orange and a little less orange-orange. and I like the facial expression better. That maniacal Sabretooth grin suits him. I'm not nuts about Goblin's facial expression truth told... but can't argue that his new boots, new satchel and glider aren't an overall improvement. Spidey is Spidey, and looks like about a dozen Spideys I already own... but it is at least nice that this one has the wings... so there's a little something to set him apart. Thing, like Sabretooth... is only slightly different, but an improvement over the original version. Looks much better without the ugly black wash, and the 4 on his belt is a nice touch. Cap... like Spidey, looks alot like a half dozen Caps I already own... not bad, but not exactly new... but I will at least say I'm glad they included an extra wrist cuff for this one's gloves. There were a couple Caps in the past I thought were ruined by the fact that when I removed their shield, there was always an ugly strap and peg on his wrist. So while he's very similar to old Caps... I still think this will be the definitive one in my collection 'til further notice... just because of that minor detail. Thor... seems almost identical to the Stormbreaker boxed set one... and were I not a completionist, I likely would have seen no reason to buy him... lol... SO ANYWAY... I'd definitely recommend Wolvy and Sabretooth & Iron Man and Thing to anyone looking for definitive minimate versions of said characters. (Especially if like me, you don't want a shiny Iron Man, lol). I'd recommend Goblin as an improvement, and Spidey as at least something new (Again... wings... lol). Cap and Thor I wouldn't necessarily recommend unless you're also a completionist... or you like your Cap to have matching gloves when not holding his shield... lol...
