boyd Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 For those who have the set - how are the wings on Morbius? Do they have a nice, tight grip around the arms, or hang kinda loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Just right, actually: they don't slide around on their own, but they are easy to move. The ring is smaller then other wing rings I can remember, and fits perfectly above the elbow joint, so no awkward sliding to get it in the right position so that you can bend his arm. It's really stellar, now that you mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 There was one set waiting for me at the LCS so I'm sated for a while. Great quartet of figures and I agree with Hellpop; a follow-up set is required, one that includes Man-Thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Come on, it's almost 2PM EST and no one's posted pictures? What's going on, East Coasters? I can't be the first one to have this sent in hand, can I? Guess that means pictures are my responsibility,huh? Lucky I'm such a swell guy.... P4100001.JPG The biggest difference between this Doc Strange and the earlier one is that his yellow parts are now gold. Which is nice, since it makes him a different figure, but if you were hoping to put these hands on the old one you're SOL. P4100002.JPG Hey, Mister PL posted my tray shot back on Page 8! I almost got mad that apparently no one saw my Strange comparison photo, but I guess I only posted it on Facebook: It spurred a long debate with one commenter who said our Minimates were not as good as they used to be, and that non-painted heads were a big sign of that. None at my LCS. Ugh, I'm gonna have to either call around or hunt online. Where is your shop, Zexion? Does it order from Diamond Comic Distributors? If so, you should really start pre-ordering/reserving your box sets. While the two-packs are sold in case assortments, the box sets are sold individually, so a shop can order 1, 2, 3... however many they like. I don't know each store's individual policy, but there should be no cost to them or to you to have them order a single set. Not sure if some only offer that option to people with pull bins, but they make a profit either way, so they really shouldn't. I have a suspicion we sold out the entire run, but if we get more stock in, they should be able to order it for delivery in two weeks, or something like that. Product code is OCT121574.

hellpop Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I suppose you could say that Minimates are getting worse if you only look at the two Stranges, but only because the first one is perfect. Seriously, that might be the single greatest Minimate of them all. The new one's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Houston, Bedrock City Comics. I didn't really ask, since they stocked the Venom Through the Ages boxset last time, so I was kind of just hoping lol. But I may ask now in advance, or see if one of their other 4 stores got any. Thanks Zach, I'll call later and see what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 did Doctor Strange always have the yellow on the back of the neck of the cape? I mean thats how Ive always remembered the cape and the original Strange lacked that detail where the new one has it...just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've got that feeling again...get these while you can Ironic that I've recently been heavily into playing around with the Universal Monsters stuff & hellpop's comment about Alucard is spot on ......what an underrated Minimate that guy is . I need more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatblockoguy Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The leg posts are now different. I wasn't sure 100% sure after the best of wave 2 but now you just have to compare Dr. Stranges with the rest of the figs in this set. They are now more solid.

Freaqualizer Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Louisville KY, my LCS was willing to hold one. Out of 6, which arrived today, there was only 1 left. This set is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) After seeing that comparison shot...I think I like the original better. Does the classic Dr. Strange look have yellow or gold?

Twisted Two-Face Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 My LCS didn;t get the set in either, which he was very shocked about because he orders anything that says "DST" without hesitation. He's looking into it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaqualizer Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hot sex!!!! I've seen you say this and it's raised a few questions. Does this speak to the quality of the sex or the temperature? Inquiring minds want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 After seeing that comparison shot...I think I like the original better. Does the classic Dr. Strange look have yellow or gold? In the comics it's always been yellow, as far as I can remember. The gold doesn't really bother me; I just think the face and hairpiece on the original are superior. What, do you think Luke is some kind of comic book villain, giving away his plan if there was any chance you could stop him? He shipped them out twelve minutes ago. You deserve a for that.
