Every time someone robs a petrol station or a liqour shop in Australia, we read about Balaclavas in the paper or hear about them on the news. Having said that - I am a middle-aged man.... perhaps the word isn't as common amongst children (who I have to keep reminding myself are the actual target audience for these products) Legit thought you were talking about baklava and was wondering what the connection was between that and armed robbery. I mean, it's delicious, but not that delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Balaclava (UK) = Ski-mask (USA). Marvel actually sells 'Marvel (character) Balaclavas ' in the UK. Baklava is a pastry dessert. Balaclavas were so-called,allegedly, because British troops fighting the Russians in the Crimean War (1853-1856 ) were so ill-equipped for the Russian winter that they were literally freezing to death.....word got back to the people back home started knitting woollen clothing for them . Sometime in the next few years I expect history will probably repeat itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It is not commonly used in the states. Our media more mistakenly refers the them as ski masks, like they are just a designer variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our store system requires us to specify how many sets we will sell loose and how many packaged. If you get a message that the option you selected is not available, it means that either the loose or packaged option sold out, but we have more of the other option. We try to adjust these numbers periodically to make sure there are plenty of both options, but sometimes you just need to email or PM me and ask if I can make more sets available as loose or packaged. I just shuffled around the inventory on the Punisher set, so both options are available to order again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkguerilla Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Nothing makes me more excited about minimates than a well executed comic based wave and this one is no exception. Even if I'm not totally sold on all the costumes (I'm looking at you, Tracksuit Iron Fist) they're still pulled off in that perfect minimate style that feels like they just leapt off the page. My personal favorite of the wave is that new Ghost Rider. That helmut piece is as gorgeous as it it grotesque. I only wish he came with a tire iron instead of a couple of chains, but hey that's what my storage bins are for. On the opposite side of the scale is Jessica Jones. Not because she's a bad looking figure, more that in this wave of fun, toyetic costumes, she's just wearing a jacket. It would have been nice if she was swapped out for a new Spider-Woman or something, but whatever, she came with the perfect Purple Man so all is good. Great stuff from DST and here's hoping they refocus the line on the comic stuff and leave the box sets for the dull MCU stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 For me, this is one of those waves where I just don't like the characters or the costume designs enough to get excited about it. The figures are all obviously well executed, but I can't see buying most of this wave. I say this knowing I will probably throw a set or two in my cart the next time Luke updates the loose figures.

stack32 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I'm not sure it's obvious these are all well executed. Moon Knight in particular seems mediocre at best and some of the others really need to be in hand to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Yeah, I'm gonna have to find at least a new hood for MK, if not a cape also. Just such a weird combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The 2nd Hobgoblin hood would be much better. Just have to paint it white, which is always a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen these in person yet but I thought they looked cool from the pictures that I have seen so far. With that said though, I feel like I don't need any of them in my collection.

DSTZach Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 This thread is blowing my mind. Comments on social media are almost entirely positive and anticipatory. I know most have been previously done, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
