DSTZach Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The SDCC Ant-Man box set is NOT an AFX exclusive, the AoU set is. The SDCC Ant-Man set is available at various retailers, those who attended the show and otherwise. Luke will have them, and we'll have a few, too. Not sure of the release date for the specialty set just yet. Micro-figures are only with the SDCC set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Corrected my post. Thanks, Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceCuseCuse Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have both sets pre-ordered with Luke and I couldn't be more excited! Both sets look great! I wasn't sure on the SDCC set at first because I was iffy on the shrinking effect on the chests but then I saw that Ant-Man and Yellow Jacket come with regular chests and there's a young Hank Pym face, I HAD to have it! I hope they ship out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylek Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Loved loved the movie! These can't come out soon enough. Without giving away spoilers, there are a couple more minimates from the movie that would have been really nice to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini nugget Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Saw the movie yesterday, made this set a must have though I'll probably just get the standard set 'cause I'm not the biggest fan of those shrinking looks (although Anthony looks real cool).

stack32 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I appreciate the micromates but it's really obvious they were intended to be accessories and not tiny figures. Too bad there wasn't a way to get something a little more specific to the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Well, they were a bonus. Great pic, Shortysben! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortysben Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Well, they were a bonus. Great pic, Shortysben! Thanks Zach. My iPhone snaps great pics....until they translate to the web, then it comes out a little grainy. Took a chance on this set, huge marvel fan, just never that into ant man! but the figures are great! And it sounds like the movie is meeting expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Pablumo Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 After seeing the movie yesterday (loved it!), I couldn't be more excited for these now. I think going with two four packs was definetly the right choice. There are two characters in particular I would've liked, but they were both characters that were kept under wraps.

Turtle Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm a little sad we're not getting Luis in minimate form. There were two costumes that we're not getting that would have been cool, but I think that DST made good choices on these box sets. Looking forward to getting them.

spidermatt Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 When is the Antman movie minimate box set with Hank Pym, Hope Van Dyne, Scott Lang as Antman and Yellowjacket coming out? Cuz i saw someone on ebay selling this box set. I wasn't aware this box set was out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It should be out in time for the home video release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think your being sarcastic, but your probably right.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That's the general time frame for these releases lately, though. It's usually between the release of the film and the release of the home video. Sometimes it's a little earlier, sometimes it's a little later. We used to get specific dates but these days we're lucky to get a season. According to the AA site this set is due out Fall 2015. DST & AA must be really busy cranking out all that plastic crack for us. I think they've got more lines of Minimates in development now than ever. I wouldn't want that logistics job.

Netglow Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 No kidding. They should just adopt the blizzard slogan "...when it's ready." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 And can we milk this property for one more 4-pack? Obviously we'd need another version of Ant-Man to anchor it ("battle-damaged," "going sub-atomic," whatever) but I coming up with three other characters is a breeze.

Netglow Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yeah, no kidding. I got my shrinking set yesterday and it had so much extra stuff, I don't see why they don't start making that the norm. Battle damage all the things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I would love another pack with some of the SPOILER characters. Hell, a boxset with Luis, Kurt & Dave with whatever the BlackOut Ant-Man suit is would also work for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netglow Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I mean, even if they milk it, chances are we wouldn't see it until like "fall" 2017. By then would people really care for the 3 amigos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Of course people would care about the supporting cast. It's not like they're Moon Knight. But there are a couple other costumed characters like Wasp and Falcon (new suit!) that would be splendid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netglow Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm thinking the little spoiler will be released after civil war at some point since she won't be in it, but the red spoiler will probably make the civil war wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
