TENIME_art Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'd prefer brown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I think she has, historically, usually worn plain tan/brown. I think i'd prefer her to stay with the tan/brown outfit personally. If the spots prove popular enough to stick around, one can always sharpie some on.

Mystery Man Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I'd actually dig getting the leopard-print version of Shanna, the She-Devil... but as this is more in line with the Frank Cho/Marvel NOW version and not the classic interpretation... I'll take what I can get and be thankful. Edited February 26, 2013 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Think we're going to change "Sauron" to "Reaper," since these guys have no pants and he's shared between both series, making him KIND of an army-builder. Not sure we'll sell more or less of him that way, but hey. Also, it's "Titania." Not "Titiana." The latter reminds me of an old SNL sketch involving Dan Ackroyd as an uncouth art expert. Just curious, but isn't it a bit late in the game to change the packaging now? You did say earlier you expect these to ship in spring, likely before wave 50. I believe we just sent the corrected packaging to Marvel for approval this morning, and I'm still seeing an April/May ship date for these, so I don't think it's too late. It will definitely precede Series 50, though. So if you have OCD... well, I'm sorry. Also wanted to add: Shanna - in the Marvel Now! comic, she has a leopard print on her clothes, yet the minimate is basic brown. Will this be corrected? When they correct their cover artists, we'll correct our Minimate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read the first two issues of Savage Wolverine, and her costume is very much leopard print. I still plan on buying her, and honestly to me if it were leopard or just brown she'd still work as a 616 minimate for me. I just thought the leopard print would "pop" more.

boyd Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Leopard-print Shanna would make a great addition to a Savage Land box set with Ka-Zar, Zabu and Stegron the Dinosaur Man. (hint hint). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way way, super stoked for this wave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Any second Shanna needs to reflect her classic look. And I would be all over a boxed set with her, Ka-Zar, Zabu, and a properly-loinclothed Sauron or another Savage Land villain, like Nekra, or the Mandrill.

bigvis497 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Zach since Sauron/Reaper is showing up in both the LCS and TRU waves, is there any chance the TRU version could get a last minute update into Sauron? New loincloth/tail piece and maybe slightly different color scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Zach, why not just include an optional loin cloth? If it's too late now, perhaps if you ever do Kazar/Zabu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way way, super stoked for this wave! Well, we are pretty great. Having a little regret now. I miss having a Sauron. Not sure when we'll get him again. Damn perfectionism... I blame Cho. Why have a bunch of guys running around your comic that look like Sauron if they aren't Sauron? Though, I suspect, by the time these come out, we'll find out that Sauron is at the center of the story. I honestly can't believe that there's so many people bent out of shape over this. Look, it's Sauron, okay? If you need a freaking loin cloth on him so badly, here's what you do: 1. Go buy an extra Minimate set with a Moloid. 2. Save. 3. Buy a Sauron Reaper set when they come out. 4. Put the loin cloth on the Reaper. 5. If his tail is in the way... here's the tricky part... CUT OFF THE BACK OF THE LOIN CLOTH. Seriously, is there anybody here that can't do this? You all have thumbs, right?* *Apologies to any MMMVers who don't have thumbs, or are in fact physically incapable of modifying a Minimate piece. I'd be happy to do if for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yes, yes, we get it, this has turned into the "Make your own Sauron" thread. My plan was just to give his wings to this guy and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 They're pronounced differently. Marvel: Soar-on. Like "dinosaur". Tolkien: Sour-on. Like...sour...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 CUT OFF THE BACK OF THE LOIN CLOTH. You raise a bigger issue. How does the real soar-on wear his loin cloth? Does he bare his prehistoric cheeks to the savage world below? Or does he have a specially tailored loin cloth that let's his tail swing freely while providing modest coverage for his nethers? As the team exited the Blackbird into the humid Savage Land darkness, Wolverine growled, "Bubs, looks like it's going to be a full moon tonight."

Are people bent out of shape? I didn't get that. When life gives you pterodactyls, make pterodactyl men. All you need is one of the many loincloths we've made. And sugar. http://www.minimatedatabase.com/searchTag.php?tag=21 Or a pair of shorts/tattered pants/Daisy Dukes: And I don't think Sauron is involved, I think I just saw him on a comic cover wearing glasses and a collared shirt. The man's a scientist, after all. He was bitten by a radioactive pterodactyl, though, so I assume these are more victims of that pterodactyl or the actual mutant pterodactyls. I'm not even sure they're man-like in the comic at all, they may simply be pterodactyls. Cho doesn't need to gussy up a dinosaur to make it better.
