MINI_MYTE Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Here are some pics of the newest DC minimates wave 7. Dig the new boot sculpt on the Flash. Looks great! Grodd comes with a skull he can hold and even wear. What's the story behind that? Anywho... enjoy!

TBT! Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 cool thanks... clears up a couple of questions I had. BTW it's hard to tell is grodd a 2" mate? T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Great pics Minimyte! I can't wait for the postman to deliver mine! As far as the skull, I think Timbo mentioned it in the other thread - Grodd is almost always shown with a skull by DC Direct. The DCD 6" fig (or 7" whatever) has a skull, the heroclix piece shows him holding a skull and now the minimate comes with a skull as well. I've never seen/heard an official explaination. My one beef with the Batman mates is still present. The spikes on his gauntlets are at the wrong spot still. They should be at the bottom of the hand - not on the side. http://www.molehillgroup.com/batman-adams.jpg http://www.dynamicforces.com/images/batman...aladams-hc2.jpg http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/allstarbatman/Batman.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/tbon...t/bm232_p18.jpg http://www.comicboards.com/gsmb/attachment...Jim%20Aparo.jpg Sorry.

cesium salami Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I just picked up my set too. Grodd and Clayface are both 2.5" I don't know the story behind Grodd's skull either. I was surprised at the red hair that came with Flash. I thought this was Barry Allen, but I guess it's Wally (Barry Allen had blonde hair, right?) I was pretty surprised with Lobo too. I haven't opened him yet, but the detail is really nice. The chain is either chrome or real metal. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think the chain is metal like the one that came with Nina in the 24 2-pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastmaximal Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Barry's belt is different [it's not the converging lightning bolts, just one that goes all the way around]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Might be able to get Barry by swapping in USAgent's head. That would make for a mean, gruff-looking Barry Allen. I think that the Bruce Wayne's head (from this series) with Jack Bauer's hair actually makes for a pretty good Barry Allen (though the mask has some difficulty getting on there). I had actually assumed that this would be Wally because of the smiling face. One little thing that I really like about these figures (having just opened them up) is that Bruce Wayne's hair-piece, with just minor changes, is about 100% better than the version that came with the Batman from wave 1. Now, it really looks like Bruce Wayne when the mask is off to me. And with the mask on, I think that this Batman has already become one of my top 5 or 10 Minimates. This, to me, is the iconic Batman. I also really like the treads on Wally's shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallbreaker2.0 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 These figs look great! Thanks for posting the pics so soon. Although I do agree with you Reideen1313 about the gaunlet spikes, I also agree with kramazov80 that Batman is totally iconic and my favorite from this wave.

God Magnus Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Crap! My comic shop didn't get these today due to the horrible snow storm yesterday. That is totally awesome that Grodd comes with a skull! I must have these!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Voodoo Lou Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I got to my comic shop at 5 on the dot, and they were already sold out. Luckily there are a few more places in town I can check tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily there are a few more places in town I can check tomorrow. Man, that sucks. I'm actually surprised that my comic shop gets so many (they must have had 3 cases of DC Minimates last night when I got there, and that was right before they closed), because it sometimes seems like I'm the only person in town who buys their Minimates.

Cappy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Mini Myte! Thanks for the excellent pictures. It's almost like I own the little buggers.... oh wait, I do! Seriously, thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Man, this wave sucks. They systematically remaking C3 figures and voiding the originals out, there's TWO 2.5"ers in this wave, Starfire looks awful, Ambush Bug is a blank. So we've got one good character out of this wave. Lobo. Like there was ever any doubt he'd be good. The rest just get a super duper el-PASS-o from me. And the first person to use Lobo's quote against me gets a brick to the head.

Lobsterman Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 2007 "When is DCD going to re-do the C3 characters so all of us who missed the boat can get Flash, Nightwing and Martian Manhunter?!?" 2008 "Why is DCD wasting our time with retreads of C3 characters that clearly nobody needs?!?" 2009 "How come DCD hasn't made my solid gold toilet yet?!?"

thebatman312 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I got the wave last night and I think it's almost near perfect. My mini review Gorilla Grodd: I am loving the two 1/2 inch mates and I think grodd ranks up there as one of the best. I love the design of him and love skull. 9/10 The Flash: He is the minimate I have been waiting for. Flash is my favorite hero of all time and I am in awe at him. I think he's perfect. This may be a little biased but... 10/10 Nightwing: Another fantastic mate, I think he paint colors are perfect, perfect design. 9/10 Starfire: Probably my least fav in the wave, but still a great mate 7/10 Lobo: I think lobo is fantastic. I love the accessory of his chain and his design is amazing... 9/10 Ambush Bug: I pretty excited that ambush bug is in this wave, a little plain but still cool 7/10 Classic Batman: I love this batman! He's fantastic. I love the paint colors and the design they chose for him, but I do wish all of the bat family (batman and batgirl excluding nightwing) should come with a batarang, robin did so no complaints there... 9/10 Clayface: My favorite 2.5 mate yet. He's amazing and clayface has always been a favorite batman villian of mine. 9.5/10 Overwall wave rating 8.6 out of 10 Fantastic Wave! Great job DCD!
