Chooch Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Individually I like all of the choices outside of Angela. Collectively it feels lacking cohesion after such a focused X-Factor wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well anyone that gets the wave and doesn't want Angela, hit me up. That's all I want from this wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not. That cape is more straight up and down on the collar. This one has a bit of a wrap around the head and comes to a clean point by the face.

Mystery Man Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) I gotta figure out how to make a classic Moondragon with this head and cape. The closest torso would be Polaris but not quite. Damn... this is one of those “so close but so far” figures for me. Darkhawk is 100% choice but it’s a classic Moondragon and lightning bolt chest Adam Warlock I’d have picked. *sigh* Being a classic comic collector can really be sad sometimes.

BuffaloDelorean Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I'm also trying to make a classic Moondragon from this figure. The head, cape, and Polaris' torso seem pretty obviously the closest we're going to get, but I'm not as sure about the arms and legs, specifically the gloves and boots.

I was thinking animated Enchantress has a good boots and gloves for an allllmost there look (once you add in different hands) But haven’t checked the greens yet.

BuffaloDelorean Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 This is the version of Moondragon I'm trying to make, so those boots and sleeves would be a bit longer than I'd like. It doesn't seem like there are a lot of options, though. I wish we could have just gotten the classic version in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah without painting I don’t know of a triangle pointed green boot or gloves that aren’t Enchantress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The thing that I’ve gotta figure out most is how to cover up the skull on the Polaris torso. I wish the cape came down a little in the front to block it but so far as I can recall, there’s not one like that in green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 LOL you guys are so picky! I used the Polaris torso to make her years ago (with the head of the bald woman from Star Trek) and it's just fine. Certainly close enough you really need your customs to be exact.

I actually like the skull as it reminds me of Thanos and why she received the infinity gem. But I thankfully got a Luke version. Couldn’t you use a paint remover to gently remove the skull?

I think the latter is what the final figure is supposed to be, right? I believe it is the latter. Translucent skull under translucent dome. Take off the dome and you can put on a flaming hairpiece. Is the plan, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugieWargo Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Marvel Minimates Series 79 was canceled?? Was this wave just canceled? if so, damn. https://www.previewsworld.com/support/previews_docs/orderforms/JAN20_Cancel.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 An assortment with no heavy hitters. Go figure. I'm only a casual Marvel fan and, honestly, I'm only familiar with two of these characters. Even a couple of the ones I should know are unrecognizable to me. I'm seeing some pretty obscure variants here. That and there are only three 2-packs. For shops like mine that struggle to unload all three full sets of four 2-packs in a case, increasing it to four sets of three 2-packs means they'd only be able to sell half the case instead of a third. (Did I math that right?) This is where the BAF concept works against retailers. Sure, it encourages completists to "collect them all" to get that BAF but completists are buying them all anyway. The trick is to make that BAF such a must-have that every collector orders a set. Back to the drawing board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm surprised that I'm not too surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugieWargo Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I was only surprised because I got a refund from my LCS to my debit that just said "Diamond Select pre-order" and thought it was the John Wick set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Well, crap. This was like one of the only waves that I was actually interested in. I really wanted that Darkhawk. I hope they find a way to get this wave out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm more sad to find that I don't really care much that it's canceled. That's not about the lineup, even though the two I really wanted looked kind of mediocre, I've just given up on minimates as a whole and started thinking of them as something I used to collect.

Trekker 42 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Man I wanted that CGR ... I guess that’s it though. When there’s only one interesting character in the wave it’s not too surprising that they kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 So does that make Ghost Rider some sort of jinx for Marvel waves as I can only think of the movie GR set being the other Marvel wave cancelled. Sucks either way as it may not have been star heavy I was up for the wave even though Darkhawk and CGR where the only ones that stood out for me.
