Seanus Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I want Vision + Hawkeye! :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodd Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I was about to log off on my computer to go to work, but I decided to check again! Wow! I'm surprise to see Wonderman, but I am glad they finally made She-Hulk. All we need is the variant version of She-Hulk; such as, first appearance She-Hulk and Fantastic Four She-Hulk. I thought we would see Wasp, Vision, Yellowjacket, or Hawkeye. No problem! I can wait for wave 17 for the other Avengers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Haha brilliant. I spotted the Minimate Shulkiverse logo and knew the announcement had been made. I'm amazed Wondie's out before Hawkeye but that just gives us something else to look forward to down the line. Well done DST on making an almost perfect wave of Marvel Minimates. Love Shulkie's accessory too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodd Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 This is the best wave they have ever made! I'm looking forward for Wave 17! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Great work, AA/DST on the best wave ever! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Damn. While these two look great, I can't help but feel like this was a missed opportunity. BOTH of these could have had plausible variants (FF She-Hulk and "ionized" purple transluscent Wonderman) if released later. I was really hoping for a "perfect classic" line-up with Hawkeye and/or Vision(granted, Vision could warrant his own "phasing" variant). Oh well, perhaps in a later(although not TOO late...like 17 please) series. I could have even better accepted Wasp/Antman(or Yellowjacket) for that matter. All of these 'mates look fantastic, but I personally could have waited a bit longer for these particular two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xybot Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 See Cyc! Have a little faith ... No way is this over. Maybe not the next wave, but sometime: we'll get Vision, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel and some other nice little goodies. Way to go DST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedevil Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I see a quick custom of the Fantastic Four She-Hulk in my future! Thanks DST/AA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Dang. Guess it made sense, the week my long post delayed She-Hulk custom mate arrives... is the week the official She-Hulk mate is announced. Pitty no Hawkeye, but 100% best wave ever for the inclusion of Shulkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Alright! She-Hulk and WM, not bad. Kinda hoping it was Hawkeye & the Viz, but what are you going to do? Wish they hadn't re-used older parts. Kinda liked the fact that both Thors, Loki, Scarlett Witch and (I think) Quicksilver all have newly sculpted parts.

luke314pi Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I am getting misty-eyed because this wave is so beautiful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Great Stuf!!! Has to be one of the best waves ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Series 17: Ionic Wonderman/FF4 She Hulk Hawkeye/Vision Wasp/Antman Hawkeye/Phasing Vision Variant I love this wave! We finally get some really excellent characters that have been neglected. THIS WAVE RULES!!!!! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 In an Avengers wave, it was pretty much a given that everyone's favorite wasn't going to be made. Those who were slighted this time can take comfort in the fact that there's always summer exclusives, a future wave, or other teams that have featured the characters. Perhaps Hawkeye will pop up in a Thunderbolts wave or a Great Lakes Avengers wave. Vision could arrive in an Avengers Dissassembled wave or a Young Avengers wave (not the same Vision, but still). As for Wasp, Ant-Man, Yellowjacket, etc, I'd rather see them when they can get the size variations that they deserve. But if they were released, there's future Avengers waves, Avengers Dissassembled, Secret Wars, etc. As far as this line-up is concerned, I'm happy. We finally get Thor, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Shulkie and Loki. My only complaint is that I have to retire three customs as a result.

O.B Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Wow, this wave has reminded me why I collected Marvel minimates. My faith has been restored! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 While I admit this is the best wave to date...part of me really was hoping to see a hawkeye today! I dig wonder-man and even like she hulk. But DST was knocking the ball out of the park so hard on this series, to see the same "female hair piece" cast in green...makes me a little sad. Hawkeye, maybe someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newaddict Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Wow! A very nice lineup all around. I'm impressed with the choices, and while I agree with others about the missed variant opportunity (FF She Hulk, Ionic Wonderman), I have a feeling this opportunity will truly not go unexplored at some later time, perhaps in some of the previously foretold box sets. Also, while I long for the time when we have many of the other possible Avengers, I commend DST for an awesome lineup which embodies everything which drew me into mate-collecting in the first place. Nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty excited about this Wave. Everyone looks amazing. However, I'll probably never see these in stores around here, they're nice to look at.

I reset that stat this morning, it used to be 300+ but that was when someone DOS'd us... and I was curious to see how many people came to see the announcement. I just want to thank the people who didnt spread this around too much yesturday, as this news got leaked early somehow... cheers for not posting it everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 If reaction to this series is any indication, there will be more Avengers in the future. And is it really a coincidence that the Marvel line waited until now – a year in which so many JLA characters are being released – to finally offer other Avengers?

boyd Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'm happy with these two. I like the jet belt that Wonder Man has. Also - one Minimate closer to the original West Coast Avengers. And a FF-costume She-Hulk would make a great summer convention Minimate. Just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Awesome! No Spidey or Wolverine variants! Looks like DST has learned their lesson!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 While I'm no Marvel fan I do know some about these characters (thanks ToyFare) and I think this wave is incredibly cool. The parts reuse doesn’t bother me at all this time, I mean how many times can you sculpt long hair when you already have a great one that will work just as well.
