Tommy Wiseau Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Not surprisingly, only thing they had was Amazing Spider-Man 'mates on clearance. No sign of the box set yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmonkey2k Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Smashmaster, will you do a review on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Since Zach has been by recently and speaking of characters who could be big in the future, now that Marvel is publishing new Marvelman books, any chance we can see him as a 'mate?

DSTZach Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I wouldn't know until he was in a line-up, and he's not. For chances, talk to DSTChuck: http://www.artasylum.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Thanks for the info, I was somewhat more curious about him than most characters because I know the rights issue with him has been a nightmare for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Iv'e never looked up Marvel Man/Miracle Man until right now and his whole story seems pretty badass. All I know of him is from toyfare when Spidey says Kimota. Ha, Im going to go home and read that one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Saw Turtles and Clerks today but no sign of this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I've asked about Miracleman more than once, both in person and via AskDST, and the last I'd heard was that he's not available yet. I know Chuck wants to do him and has asked about him, though. Miracleman Family would make an excellent box set.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I found some of these tonight, surprisingly, at a store a few towns away from home. This is the first time i've found a TRU boxset in store since the Cap TTA set. Nice set, and the extra tall risers on Hulk and Thanos help to proportion them better. Zach, something that you might want to run up the ladder, now that we're getting more "bulked up" 'mates, maybe it's time to make a long waist peg that extends the full length of the chest block. While these "bulked up" mates are better proportioned by the waist risers, they tend to fall apart at the waist due to the standard length waist peg barely extending into the chest block.

Glantern Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I found a fair selection of these at my local TRU. My set seems to have a lot of issues with paint getting things stuck. I have yet to able to remove any of the head pieces. I also find that I prefer Hulk without the extra riser, for whatever reason. I like Thanos a lot, but otherwise, I think I'm more excited for the leftovers being released in TRU 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Anyone seen these in IL by chance? Not Orland Park, Downers Grove (Butterfield), or Bloomingdale. (Or TMNT at any of them either.) Pics, anyone who has them? Edited December 3, 2014 by TENIME_art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Zach, something that you might want to run up the ladder, now that we're getting more "bulked up" 'mates, maybe it's time to make a long waist peg that extends the full length of the chest block.

Fizzle Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 As Glantern mention, the paint/piece stick issue was pretty bad for me too, ended up splitting Thanos' helmet when trying to pull it up since it covered his eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmaster12 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) smashmaster when will we see your video review? I am dyin over here As am I. I'll put out a review of it sometime next week! I'm currently finishing my first semester of college, so my schedule is swamped. That, and my recording equipment is at home... Point is, I'll get it up sometime soon! That, and Turtles Also I took some dorm-quality pictures! The Box: Cap and Hulk: Cap's extras: Thanos and Thane: Initial thoughts? I like it. Cap is okay, but I'm really disappointed that he has the Iron Man 3 MK 42 arms. Hulk is really cool. I thought the finger-less gloves were a nice touch. Thanos is huge! He even towers over Hulk! His helmet is a bit stuck, though, so I'll have to do the warm-water trick when I get home. Still a rad figure. Thane is...Thane? I didn't actually read Infinity. He looks nice, though. I like how on the back of the box it mentions he's the "New Character" from the set. Also, why is the Toys 'R' Us sticker right on the logo? It makes it look like INFIN'R'Y Edited December 4, 2014 by Smashmaster12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Gawd, that Cap is such a huge waste of space.Thanks for the pics though. I may just keep Thanos and Thane and send the rest to my little brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Here's a few pictures I took Group: New Thanos vs Old Thanos: New Hulk vs Old Hulk: Thanos with his proper Gauntlet: Also, my Cap's helmet isn't budging at all. I've tried several different methods of getting it off, but it's not happening. That thing's not coming off in one piece Edited December 4, 2014 by Glantern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Holy S*** that new thanks looks bad ass! I love the first 2, but I might have to make a new one out of parts from the last 2. He looks way better that how he did at NYCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
