luke314pi Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 i have a question about the sticker set... why did we get a Banshee with no mouth? I would have preferred a non-screaming Banshee over that... i'm a big fan of Banshee, but i don't recall a time in the comics when he had no mouth (although it does remind me of the Witch episode on Buffy!) i think it's cool we got the Forge bandana sticker, i'm a little disappointed that by using it, Forge is now white. i appreciate that DST gave him a bit of a darker skintone to rep him as Native American.. also, i think it would have been neat to get an "evil" Morph sticker, too. all in all, though, i'm pretty happy with this set! Here is what no-mouth Banshee looked like in the comics: And I completely forgot about Forge's skin tone! I will fix that and make some replacement stickers. If anyone would like a replacement Forge sticker please use this form to request one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortherX Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) i have a question about the sticker set... why did we get a Banshee with no mouth?

If anyone would like a replacement Forge sticker please use this form to request one. omg now i remember that. i'm re-reading all my old x-men comics for the first time since i originally read them, but i'm only on issue 168. totally makes sense now. i still would've liked a regular Banshee face tho so i could pose him just standing with the rest of the team. oh well, though. i'm still glad to finally get him and be able to make a custom Morph, Cecilia and Joseph! and i thought about cutting just the bandana off and putting it on the original Forge head... AFTER i'd already applied the sticker to a spare head. not a deal breaker and i don't need another sticker... just something i'd noticed.

MisterPL Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Reverse thongs were a superhero fashion trend? And people give Superman shit for wearing trunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I don't think any artist besides that fill-in guy ever drew them like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Reverse thongs were a superhero fashion trend? And people give Superman shit for wearing trunks.That was the first thing I noticed, as well! Ah, the early 1990s. So bad in so many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzle Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Luke, are you expecting a refil on this wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Not sure yet - we are waiting to hear back from Diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableNathan Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Man these are hard to come by. My LCS is still waiting on their order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I wonder if there were factory problems? Well, other than the ones Luke's already told us about. The whole concept of the wave is obviously to sell extra sets of figures but it's a little hard to believe it's been quite this popular, at least this early on.

The whole concept of the wave is obviously to sell extra sets of figures but it's a little hard to believe it's been quite this popular, at least this early on. It might be just simply that Marvel Minimates are being produced in lower numbers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 With the lack of availability of Wave 61, and to a lesser extent Wave 59, that certainly seems possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 my LCS has multiple sets of all the packs from wave 60 except for the Jubilee/Destiny set, if anyone would like for me to pick them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 My LCS appears to have gotten in one case, I was surprised that none had sold by the second day when I went back for the Jubilee pack. I'll probably pick up another Banshee pack for customs this week. I've been getting parts together for when my three sets come in the mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortysben Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 My LCs ( and I say that lightly as the nearest comic shop that sells minis is an hour away), got easily 10 plus sets of the brotherhood wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableNathan Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 My order from Luke should finally arrive tomorrow! I have quite the haul coming. 2 complete sets of wave 60, 3 sets from wave 54, and some various other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannii Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I had to buy Jubilee/Destiny at Instagram! Seriously!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregio Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I had to buy Jubilee/Destiny at Instagram! Seriously!! From @Millstoygalore? I bought a lot of figures with him once. It was the only purchase I made that took 3 months to arrive. His prices for old figures at least worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 oh - yeah. I bought from him once. it took forever for the toys to arrive. He's a bit forgetful and you need to keep on top of him, otherwise, he just lets it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonpr Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Is this the worst quality controlled wave yet? Storm's arm peg twisted right off, like its made of candy and the paint is sloppy as hell. Diamond might have to hire a few more Chinese 10 year olds keep 8 year olds in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBMM1 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Is this the worst quality controlled wave yet? I've noticed it getting worse and worse lately. It seems to only be a problem for the MARVEL line though. Everything else seems to be up to par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought from @millstoysgalore it also took ages for him to ship the toys, even though the price was great. I remember I got that Spider-Man boxset with Vulture and others from him...
