fwoosheyman Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm actually encouraged by the two dark avengers in wave 2. Hopefully, this means DST/Walgreens have long term plans for minimates there and don't want to go through all the main characters quickly.

Kostisfire Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Hmm, they look good, but I'll be buying only the Taskmaster pack. Mostly for Taskmaster, and so that I can use the arms for my SpOck. It's just that the rest look too cartoony (Widow & IM look good, though that Thanos is kinda bad), though I guess they'll look better in the in-hand pics. Either way, UDON Taskmaster looks dope! Much better than I imagined actually, since I presumed they were gonna go with tampo on the shoulder pads. I'm so excited for him! PS: Thanks for the link Valo!

Zak Katz Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Kosti using "dope" over "brilliant" made me smile. Black Widow looks awfully familiar cough* AoU cough* The Dark Avengers look good. I'm assuming we'll get normal IM and Thor down the line. I rather have them. Thanos looks good. I love this Taskmaster, and it's cool to get Iron Spider in any way. They both look great. I think I like the Gaurdians set. I'm glad to see Drax without the torso cover. Looking good. Thanks Valo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I like the new hairpiece shared by Gamora & Widow. Have we already seen it yet or is it brand new with them? (I'm really far behind on Minimate purchases, due to not having any money ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Kosti using "dope" over "brilliant" made me smile. Yeah, well, rumour has it that Marvel's developing a Netflix MK show (it's from El Mayibe, who's kinda hit or miss, but due to Ellis' comments and some other rumours, I'm inclined to believe that he might be in P2 of the MNU), so yeah, I'm feeling hella dope! I mostly use brilliant when I watch Doctor Who. Huh, the affects of Pop Culture in our lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 As conflicted as I am about collecting another Marvel Universe line, I'm really digging the "Best of" vibe of the color palette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I love the choices for the armor on Iron Man. No unnecessary bulk, and full range of movement for his arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) I thought the new Zenpool/spider-Gwen hood sculpt was perfect for a new Zartan, until just now! Thanks for your hood and shoulder armor Taskmaster! edit: this could also look nice on a skeletor custom I really like Drax, and Iron Spidey too. I'm 50/50 on Thanos. Thor and Iron Man, I'll wait and see (not costume colors i really like for them) I'd have liked to see Dark Cap, and Falcon instead. The Ladies... well, besides Wonder Woman, there I'm just not interested in female Minimates. Edited October 14, 2015 by Nervous Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Ehh, I'm really not diggin' any of these. Although, I agree that this Iron Man looks waaaaay better. I think this might be the way to go with Iron Man & War Machine figures from here on out. We're getting a regular version of Iron Spidey, right?

Freaqualizer Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I really, really like this Drax look. I think it's a good stand in for a comic book Drax. And since I missed the first iron Spidey, I'm in for the whole set. Add to that the fact that these Walgreens releases are much easier to pick up than TRU sets. I'm pretty excited.

fwoosheyman Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm assuming DST has access to info that will happen later in the shows, because I have no idea where they are getting the designs for Black Widow, Drax & Gamora. Black Widow doesn't wear an outfit like that and Drax/Gamora wear blue not red ravagers-like outfits. Thor/Thanos pack is an easy pass as well. Taskmaster and the Iron Man look nice.

Turtle Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Drax and Taskmaster are the big winners here for me. I like this animated sub line a lot more than I thought I would. I haven't seen the show, but these Dark Avengers makes me wish that we had gotten more of the Justice Lords.

Black Widow doesn't wear an outfit like that and Drax/Gamora wear blue not red ravagers-like outfits. I can't speak to the Guardians but that's Black Widow's look for Season 3. In S1 she went unzipped. In S2 she zipped up. Next season she's a little unzipped but sports the red emblem. What I find odd is that DST is offering a S3 Black Widow after offering a Hulk and Cap from S1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 That Thor and Thanos look ridiculous. Like they look like early Minimates All the rest I'm down for. That drax looks great, the puffed up chest on the movie version drives me nuts. Taskmaster looks awesome also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since they won't be making Netflix minimates it would be a tad bitter sweet, I think a MK netflix series would be a great fit for Moon Knight. The animated mates looked great, but does Drax have vampire teeth in the show? Edited October 14, 2015 by Zylek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, Netflix is a perfect fit for MK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Gotta admit, Drax does look pretty great! Iron spidey looks cool with the legs too. I might have gone with different hair-pieces for BW & Gamora, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taskmaster looks awesome also I agree, I was looking forward to the reveal, and don't get me wrong, there are some that are real nice *ahem* iron spidy! Gamora! and taskmaster, I will pick up a full set of these! but the thanos and Thor look a little co splay gone wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy showdown Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If Thor's helmet comes out like that, I'm going to need to improve it. The shading on Drax's mid-torso doesn't work with the tattoos. It just makes it look like another tattoo. And the fangs are weird. His teeth angle toward the edges of his mouth, not in the middle. Gamora's outfit is off-model, but at least it resembles the basic shape of her outfit so far. I'm assuming Widow is from next year's season, but if she doesn't look like that in Ultron Revolution, I'm coming back to criticize it. This could be a really great line. Good character selection on Spidey and Avengers already, and GOTG is only on its fourth episode and already had classic-enough Foom and Grandmaster. But to keep people interested, there has to be the same attention to detail as every other Minimates line. Too much of a divide between what's on screen and what's in figure form isn't a good thing.

The Scarlet Spider Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I like the taskmaster iron spidey pack. I might want to repaint spidey though to look more comic like. I also appreciate that they're trying to make thanos taller but I feel like he kinda looks silly for some reason. I still love the GotG Star Lord pack though!!! Will Luke carry these?
