Mirymate Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The greedy fanboy in me wants all three Beetle armors. (Jenkins' Beetle, not the recent unknown female) But if I had to pick just one, it'd be the second armor hands down. And yeah, I'm down for new and old Kaine too.

bigvis497 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I love how we occasionally get thrown a bone with crazy sixties designs. Remember that ridiculous Mandarin we got? Completely ludicrous costume and I love it. I could totally see a First Appearance Beetle variant with the goofy suction cup hands.

Mystery Man Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'd love to see the 2nd Beetle costume as well, and I'm betting that's the one we'll end up getting. But oh man, gimme that wonky 1st appearance as the variant. I LOVE the '60s Mandarin that we got. Easily one of my favorite Minimate villains made.

He has a mustache and an "M" for Mandarin on his chest. What's not to love?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'm still holding out hope to see original Kaine someday, maybe as variant to Scarlet Spider. Please DST.....? And Jackal too. +1 Kaine is my most wanted Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I feel like Kaine would be easy for DST to make. Claw hands, Ultimate Sabretooth hair, some tampos and a scarf, BAM!! Just saying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying.... I'd definitely prefer a new hairpiece. That one looks so dated by comparison. Everything else I'm on board for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) I just picked up this set. I really like the top 2 Venoms (not so much the bottom 2). The newer bulked-up Venom is amazing! I was missing a hair piece on the top left too. I think that's the first time I've had a piece missing when I opened up a new set.

CableNathan Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) I got my sets last night. I was not impressed with the idea of a Venom TTA set, but these Minimates are fantastic. I really like them all but bulked up Venom really reminds me of the initial Brock Venom from comics. Nicely done. Totally agree. I caved in and bought one and I'm very happy with it. Also I was wondering why we didn't get any black webline. I figured that would've been easy to do...

Freaqualizer Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I found this set at my LCS. I have to say that its amazing. Flash Venom was one of my top wanted minimates. I am so impressed with this mate. This is going to be an epic year for mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Finally got this in the mail today, and for somebody who's not that much of a Venom fan, I'm really digging this set. One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is how good the Eddie Brock face tampos are. Compare to the old Transformation Venom: The calm face and the crazy face are very similar even though the tampos are slightly different. You can tell its the same guy which is pretty impressive based on how simple the Minimate design is. I'm really loving the continuity here. The only thing I would change is giving Anne Weying a new hair piece instead of the re-used Goliath hair. I really like the worried look on her face, unfortunately the hair covers up the eyebrows. I've been away from comics for a few years so I'm not familiar with Flash as Venom, but it's a great looking mate. Going to need to find a body with a varsity jacket I can QC for a classic civilian Flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 wow - they really have made it all look like the same character, haven't they. The chin dimple... the eyebrows... I love that they have kept some consistency across the incarnations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironfist1234 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah I'm actually pretty happy cuz not a lot of people buy Collectables at my Walmart so I'm sure i can get all the ones the carry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I wouldn’t be surprised if this is like MotUC the Robotos/Gygors spotted in a SoCal Wal-Mart a few weeks ago, one store's general manager making a purchase and selling items they’d like to sell just in their store a not a company wide plan to sell the product create by either Wal-Mart or the manufacturer. although, that said, I do plan to check the Wal-Mart on the way to work everyday until I find a Catrine DeMew, so if I see any minimates that would kill my theory.

youbastards Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Actually, the nickname "Fisty" is more in reference to the working over you gave Groundhog. Was it Jad or Uncle Randy that found the Minimates at Wal-Mart? Did you happen to find any of Groundhog's $300?
