murderofcrows Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Classic Beast...welcome to my Avengers lineup !!!!!!!!!! happy day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Wow, there's not that many undone Marvel mates that I'm really jonesing for, but between the Spidey villains, the Avengers box and now this, DST is really cutting down that list! And even though I hoped for one in the recent speculation thread, I never realistically thought they'd do a Jessica Jones mate, that's just awesome... EDIT: Just took a quick look at that speculation thread, and it looks like DSTChuck was only half kidding when he said he'd want Spider-man and Wolverine ... Personally given the other 3, I'm happy to get another Wolvie. His mask will work well with a Skrull head.

Deadpool Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 still not deapool.... Horror... Just thought I'd say it before anyone else did Nice Awesome box set, The extra heads totally make this set!! I'm curious which molds they'll use for Wolverine though. T. This DOES mark the first Wolvie since Zombie, and that one is ALMOST a different character, so I can't complain. I CAN complain about Deadpool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have been dieing for this anouncement! I had heard this was going to be the next Box Set and that it would be those characters I know it will be the versions of those characters that came out of the ship in SI #1 So blue fur ball beast, Green Phoenix, Jewel, and 1st appearance Wovie. The extra heads mean that no one has extra mates from this point on. You now have an army of spider-skrulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 when they say classic beast do they mean before the fur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 when they say classic beast do they mean before the fur? Going by the series, they just mean how he looked before he turned into a cat -- regular blue Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 In the comics, it's the green outfit. The non-crazy Jean Grey version! If so, then that sucks IMO. I don't need a recolored variant of an existing figure, give me Marvel Girl!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Jessica Jones mate = Good Jessica Jones as Jewel mate = GREAT SUCCESS! My wishlist of Marvel mates is done to obscure people like Jolt, Bloodspider and Deadpool But how times change, I seem to recall DST Q&A responses where double-sided/alternate expression headblocks was unlikely to be considered....

hyejinx1984 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Classic Beast, Classic (green) Phoenix! AWESOMES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 But how times change, I seem to recall DST Q&A responses where double-sided/alternate expression headblocks was unlikely to be considered.... True, but I can't imagine they anticipated a set that would have this specific a need for them... this isn't alternate expressions so much as alternate species! I wonder which hairpiece they'll use for Phoenix though, since the Dark Phoenix hair covers less than half the head at the bottom... karamazov80, you can always think of green Phoenix as Rachel Summers, which is a different character. She wore the green outfit at one point, and I identify it much more with her than Jean Grey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm kinda relieved there's no Skrullectra as I almost thought that'd be a given. I'm digging Beast but that's the only must have for me outta the bunch. Jewel, to me, is much like Nitro to everyone else. It's cool having a new character but I would have much rather have had Xavin or Hulkling. Oh and the plain skrull heads will be good for grunts but will be a little tougher for making power skrulls as a lot of them have two or three different designs to their helmets.

Vigilante Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thhis all seems well and good, but what do these people have to do with Secret Invasion. These aren't the key players in this. I will still probably be buying this, but it doesn't seem very SI themed. I would rather have a set with people like Yellow Jacket, and some Skrulls, etc Vig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have a set with people like Yellow Jacket, and some Skrulls, etc Vig If you have been reading, you would know that all of these characters (in these costumes / versions) emerged from the crashed Skrull ship. Beast and Phoenix were revealed to be skrulls when Black Widow shot the piss out of them. so they fit...AND it gets me a classic beast so booyah!

winkerbean Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 so it's 4 of the skrulls from the crashed skrull space ship in #1 that we're getting, thats pretty cool!!!!!!! so 3 sets of these, 4 skrull heads a set = one huge army of skrully goodness (or evilness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 After reading that I'm actually really excited for this box set. One of the coolest ones so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotrigger Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) A classic Jean Grey as Phoenix!!!! I'm down! Where do I preorder? Now on what to do with my customized one... Edited July 23, 2008 by Chronotrigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Thats the spaceship crash from SI#1. really if they are picking from that group there is only a few heroes that haven't been released before with the same look. Classic Beast Green Phoenix Red Jacket Wonderman Jewel Mockingbird or whatever her name is. Ms Marvel First Appearance Wolverine and at a push a solid Vision The rest we already have in their looks Edited July 23, 2008 by MiniFiend UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotrigger Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 From the diamon select website: SDCC Update: Secret Invasion Minimates! Straight out of Marvel's best-selling event comes this Previews Exclusive Secret Invasion Minimates box set! When everyone you know could be a Skrull, who do you trust? Included in this set are four potentially Skrully heroes of yesterday: Jean Grey as Phoenix, Beast in his Avengers costume, Wolverine and his first appearance costume and the Minimate debut of Jessica Jones as Jewel! Each possibly-alien Minimate also includes an alternate Skrull face - allowing you to display each hero with just a twist of the head. As if that wasn't enough, transform your existing Minimates into Skrull saboteurs with the four bonus Skrull heads included in each set! Available in the August issue of Previews, pre-order this and other Minimates sets with your local comic book store or visit our online store! Stay tuned for more pictures from the San Diego Comic Con floor! Looks like we'll be getting pictures soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Rats! I just found this, and wanted to report it. Oh well, this IS AWESOME!!! I pre-ordered a set, looks like I need another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 SWEET CHRISTMAS!!! Double faced mini skrulls... can't wait. I hope this version of Beast looks a hell of a lot better than the new X-men version. Oh ya... and better still... another Wolverine Wait a minute, my bad, technically it's a skrull, not Wolverine. Does that make sense? I need a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Now, as an X-Men fan, I love the idea of finally getting a classic Phoenix and Beast, so overall, I'm not complaining. But I've gotta say, as a Secret Invasion Set, this lineup sucks. A. It's primarily an Avengers story, and they gave us not one, not two, but THREE X-Men. (Granted, two were also Avengers, but they're better known as X-Men). Not to mention, I don't think Jewel was ever an Avenger either, was she? (Honestly not sure.) B. They're characters only marginally involved with Secret Invasion... Instead of giving us plot relevant characters like Elektra, Iron Man, Spider-Woman, Nicky Fury or even unmade but HUGELY relevent characters like Yellowjacket, Black Widow or Mockingbird, they gave us the people running around in the background... two of whom are already dead... C. Expanding on the previous two thoughts, the mandatory "Heavy Hitter" they chose was Wolverine... now... I know, every set needs a Wolverine, Spider-Man or Iron Man... but frankly, both of the other two seem like far more logical choices in this case, as both have been far more involved in SI thus far (Iron Man in the main book, Spider-Man in the New Avengers tie-ins) So like... why Wolverine? BUT, as I said, I'm still happy to be getting Phoenix and Beast, so I'll pick this up. Not complaining about new mates, I always love new mates. I'm just sayin'... releasing them as a "Secret Invasion" set seems kinda... dumb... to me... I like the extra Skrull Heads idea. I hope they're all different, and not just the same head, and I hope at least one has Feminine Skrully features for elektra and Spider-Woman. I also hope these "Turning" heads don't get in the way of the other figures' looks... I just don't see how a head could be half green and half peach, and not be... noticable... many minimate hair pieces don't cover the sides that well... I'd much rather they just came with extra heads, like the original tounge/no-tounge Venom figure. But I guess we'll have to wait and see. PS. So should we take this as conformation that the Jewel & Wolverine that came off the ship are skrulls?

Fo Shizzle Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 PS. So should we take this as conformation that the Jewel & Wolverine that came off the ship are skrulls? I just got done reading New Avengers and they have pretty much made it clear that the heroes that came off the ship are Skrulls and all memories of their previous life has been erased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
