AdyCarter Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yays! When mates hit Mass market again, the packaging will be thus: Edit: Although looking closely I'd say this packaging is still in proto stage, look at the last image and the second from last.

boyd Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I was looking at the new packaging, and I noticed that some the the Minimates have new faces (was Spider-Woman grimacing like that before?). Then I looked at the last Avengers group shot, and noticed that Spider-Woman had a new face. And new hair. And looked completely different, but really familiar. In fact, I think it's the custom I made a few years ago. The Packaging Mock-up: My Spider-Woman custom: Stinkin' thieves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm liking the new packaging for retail, I think they were getting lost on the bottom shelves in Target If they can stick them on a peg next to the Marvel stuff, I think it will be better for the lines success. Nice pics Ady, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Holy crap Boyd. It looks as though they borrowed your work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 I think without a doubt thats Boyds custom... Thats a little out of line of AA IMO if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Wow. Ther's close then there's close then there's this. That IS yours! If you look at her left arm (our right) you can see the exact same sliver of white under it. The legs are exactally the same, everything. The play of shadows on her hips, how the left boot is off center. Dude, I am 99% sure they photoshoped out custom out of that picture. I don't think they copied you, I think that IS yous! Other then that, why are we getting 2 New Avanger sets with the exact same characters? This screams "fake" or "mock up" to me, meaning that this isn't the finished version.

AdyCarter Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Other then that, why are we getting 2 New Avanger sets with the exact same characters? We aint, it would appear that the NA box pics are incorrect, hence the custom and wrong figures on there, I'd guess one of these boxes is from an earlier stage than the rest. These are genuine. BTW, for anyone confused: Wave 12/13: Astonishing X-Men and New Avengers Waves These 4 Packs: Mass market only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 This screams "fake" or "mock up" to me, meaning that this isn't the finished version. As Ady mentioned in the first post these are prototype packages. So yeah, they aren't the finished versions. And that's quite the vote of confidence for your work Boyd although it would have been nice if they asked to use it first. Maybe it's their not-so-subtle way of saying, "Dude, you're hired!" Thanks for the pics Ady - where did you find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbunny Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 That looks exactly like yours, the hair doesnt shine that way with normal mates, its too glossy, and id think they would give her some ah.. breasts? Its gotta be yours, how do you feel about that boyd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Wow! Awesome!! I thinkg I'm most excited about the DareDevil & Ghost Rider variants! They look great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 BTW, Boyd... Would you be willing to post your old customs on these new boards? I reallym want to drool over them again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Well its good to know I'll be able to possiblly pick up the next waves all at once......hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Well its good to know I'll be able to possiblly pick up the next waves all at once......hopefully Only 4 figures in these packs, 7 in a wave dont forget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I am kinda annoyed that they used it without permission - but it is just a mock-up. The designer probably grabbed images off Google to use for image placement. However, if the final version is still using my custom, then I'll really be annoyed! It is nice to know my work is appreciated though. And Nestlé - all my customs are already online at my site - go check them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 These would be sweet, well hopefully we get them. Dare I ask were this information is leaked from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'm really diggin these new designs. AA has taken the marketing appeal up quite a bit with this more professional and dynamic look. It's definitely going to catch a lot more attention I am very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) Yeah, didn't see they were a mock up. Let's just hope it changes. I really love the MK ones with the variants. Are the Xmen gona be diffrent in any way? Edited June 16, 2012 by TM2 Dinobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Wow these are cool!! A much better way to pack minimates, these are Bigger and more pegworthy than the two packs... Very colourfull and eye catching. Kudos to who whoever mocked em up... However It's also a bit worrying that they used pix of Boyds custom (no offence Boyd, your custom was way before the origian one was released and still rocks! - as they all do!) purely because it means their designer is either 'winging it' or not being given proper resources to work with.

bilbofett Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Nice pix Ady. Thanks . I like these, but it's just that these are mates in waves 12/13(except marvel knights),they should have included different versions of Kitty(i.e. solid) or a Colossus(no shirt-used a Thing chest painted silver w/lines.) Different mates for selling point for the stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 What's the ETA on this wave gang? Hopefully Target will continue to carry these, as I enjoy their stores much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have to agree with the thought that these images were grabbed almost at random. Spider-Woman on the alternate New Avengers box is the official one, rather than the other one. At the same time, you'll notice the old version of Captain America and Ultimate Spider-Man pictured alongside Boyd's Spider-Woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well its good to know I'll be able to possiblly pick up the next waves all at once......hopefully Only 4 figures in these packs, 7 in a wave dont forget! True, but with the lack of Minimateness in this area.......I'll take what I can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I love the designs and I hope that if these sets come out that they do with packaging that's like this, only without stealing Boyd's Spider-Woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychopanda Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Bewt-iful! I really like the design, a step up from the previous boxes. That New Avengers set would've been a dream come true. I've yet to add a Spider-woman to my collection. Love the dark mask on the Daredevil on the Marvel Knights package too. Oh well, maybe in a future wave?

Zombieboyfiend Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 And I was hoping they would be packaging up some of the cool customs from the gang to put in the packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
