Full shoulder/hood head cap that has an odd point at the top of it. Looks clean just an odd shape. On 3/11/2020 at 5:09 PM, Heinous said: What kind of hair is Natasha sporting? Is it a pony tail? Same hair Ayesha had in Vol. 2 set. Works well for this look though I'm going to trade it out for long hair. Found in Atlanta. These are pretty excellent, and I'm just happy we got an assortment unlike Spidey. I think these were the most logical choices, as the Rachel Weisz character is an easy kitbash, and a white suite Natasha just needs a chest substitution. The only think that bothers me is Taskmaster's lack of accessories but I can't say that's a surprise. Red Guardian is a masterpiece in my opinion. Just confused as to why these showed up with no announcement or reveal. Even for us forum nerds, no word whatsoever until an eBay listing. I think this is the most frustrating part of still collecting these. But anyway. Winter Soldier and Red Guardian look awesome together. Team Soviet!

DSTZach Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I was waiting until the 15th to announce, as that was supposedly the set date. But I have an announcement in the queue at Marvel.com now, and it's up on our blog, so I guess it's announced now. Not much reason to promote if they aren't available to buy or even pre-order -- don't want to drive people crazy checking Walgreens before they're even shipped.

It's a similar back at least, with the multiple braid look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarm198 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Spotted in Kentucky. I gotta say, the minimates themselves looks fantastic. I'm happy to add Taskmaster to my collection. However, these new shields are awful. For those of you who haven't gotten the sets, DST has replaced the peg and hole shields we know and (I assume) love with an L shaped handle on the back of the shield that the minimate hands hold. At first I thought I was being nitpicky, but the handle is huge and keeps popping out of my minimate's hands. I also feel like it limits posing without looking silly. Did this change really save that much money? I don't feel like it's worth it at all. Also, Taskmaster's hood/shoulder pad combo kind of limits such a dynamic character's posing options too. Just a thought. Edited March 17, 2020 by Swarm198 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Bitter irony! And it will hurt the sales of Minimates as much as if the Minimates were late. The universe conspires against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowlar Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I was lucky enough to find the Spider-Man half of wave 11 as well as two sets of Black Widow. Now I'm trying to find a good substitute body for White Suit Black Widow. Currently the closest match I've been able to come with is Animated White Tiger with the stripes removed. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little concerned where the Minimates/Walgreens line is going, are they trying to make the earlier web searches that brought up "personal massagers" more of a reality?

MisterPL Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 As much as I was looking forward to seeing Black Widow in theaters next month, obviously that's NOT going to happen. The question has not only become WHEN will Marvel Studios release it but WHERE? What started as idle musings is turning into industry scuttlebutt that Disney may be toying with the idea of releasing the movie on demand. While I'd hate to see Scarlett Johansson's solo Marvel flick debuting on small screens instead of in cinemas, I understand why the studio would want to continue earning revenue during this unprecedented time. If I'm being honest, there have been a handful of Marvel Studios flicks that didn't really deserve the big-screen treatment. This might be one of them. Because of my love of theater-going I'm torn. In the meantime, I'm probably going to buy another set of Black Widow Minimates just to console myself. I just need to figure out what to do with that second Taskmaster.
