TENIME_art Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Okay, so I have 4 Okoyes with Nakia heads/hands/circles, who needs one? And who has 4 more Nakia bodies with Okoye spears? Now to find some heads & hands to put on these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend prison or riot gear Michonne, they might be a little too light, but Luke has em for cheap (at leas the prison one)Â the 4 pack version would work too, but she has colored gloves which might be a little awkward Edited February 22, 2018 by FightTheDead118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I just raided my spare Walking Dead 'mates for a Michonne noggin. She's light but not Halle Berry Storm light. That's one down.

MisterPL Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I was looking at them, too. Aren't these chicks supposed to be bald? I'm not a fan of the skull holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick some clay in the hole and paint over it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm gonna deal with the holes until I can figure out a better solution. I'm definitely going to grab any heads that aren't being displayed as my default of the character. However, no MCU repeats, so Mariah & Misty are out.

MisterPL Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Until one of the movies acknowledges the TV shows, there is no TV/film MCU. This relationship shouldn't be a one-way street. Agents of SHIELD, Peggy Carter, and the Netflix shows deserve some respect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar17 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 If anyone has a spare nakia/okoye set they'd want to sell for cost or do a trade, let me know. The West Towne Madison TRU was pretty scarce on BP stuff last nite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Luke had a template to cover headtops at the old Minimate Factory site; I'm not sure if it's still there or not. Of course, this would require you to print decals, which I know isn't everyone's jamm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just visiting? Or are you now in the area? Madison hasn’t restocked BP since I bought from the one case they got in. No wave 25 yet, either.

Onyx_6 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Just picked up 2 extra TRU packs to flesh out my Dora. They rang up at 9.99 before the BOGO sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I was just about to post the same observation. None of the other Minimates had a price increase but Black Panther jumped up to $9.99.  Walgreens 'mates went up, too, but not this much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Walgreens mate’s for me have always been between $7.99 and $8.99. Lately, though, they have been $8.49 or $8.99, depending on the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) The four I grabbed were $9.99. Even with the BOGO, that hurt.  Marvel Minimates need more darker-skinned women not just in the MCU.

MisterPL Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 With the BOGO it works out to TRU's original $7.49 price. Â Small consolation, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Odd that these figures are still $7.49 on TRU.com. I wonder if it'd be possible to order them at the store at that price and avoid shipping charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 You could also ask them to price match. They still do that in store, for TRU.com or for other retailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I haven't seen the movie yet, but did M'Baku end up being important enough to merit being shared between all three assortments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 He's got 3 pretty big scenes. I'd say they are all vital to the plot too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks to y'all reporting that these were on TRU's website, I got the last 4 Nakia packs I wanted! So now, who needs 8 Okoyes with no spears but Nakia heads/hands/circle blades? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it from a marketing standpoint, yeah it kinda makes sense. Shuri was the standout character and to get her you gotta get a boxset. Perfect. Ross is a guy in a suit. Stick him with Killmonger's tactical outfit because that outfit appears in a Ross-related scene. Make them exclusive so you don't waste a shared spot on a guy in a suit and a costume that changes partway through to a Panther costume. Okoye and Nakia are big characters that'd get people going to TRU to find them. Putting them together makes it easier to army build the Dora. Klaue and Killmonger are together for a good bit. Put him with that guy and put them shared since they're very important. M'Baku's role in this movie works to put him with T'challa. Not gonna say exactly what that is, but separating T'challa and Killmonger means you'd have to buy two packs to get hero and villain and if you're going to stick a big supporting character with the main hero and have a decent "Versus" two pack while not pairing up Cat Hero Guy with Cat Villain Guy, M'Baku makes sense.

MisterPL Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Nakia with a couple extra Dora Milaje heads would have been sweet and I'd have been down with a T'Chaka Black Panther but I'm pretty happy with the assortment as is. Given how ridiculously successful the movie's been, I wouldn't be surprised if DST offered one more 4-pack with some highly requested characters in time for the home video release.
