TM2 Dinobot Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Yeah. I had never heard of it before and my mom found out the name and wouldn't let me do something names "Sin City" and like I said, school. I'd just taken a month off for Friday Night Lights, so I couldn't really skip again. Should have saved all the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) I'll never watch FNL - you got screencaps of your appearrance? I've never seen the movie. Here's the best clip that I'm in. Starting at 1:00, I am number 51 on the right hand side of your screen. You can actually see me jumping over a kneeling camera man. I was totally blind from the banner, and when I got it off my face, he was right there so I just jumped him. Ironically the all-black team were really worse than they're acting. I almost got shanked by one in the locker room. They were playing crap rap in a shared room, and I asked them to turn it down. They told me to F off, so I turned it down myself. A big guy got in my face and pulled a knife, and started cussing at me. The one and only movie hand there turned it down himself and settles it. I turn around and all my 'friends' that's I'd been hanging out with for a month were all standing behind me, ready to rumble. I would have been so proud if I wasn't about to pee my pants. They were all looking out for their little buddy (I was 16 at the time). But yeah, they walked out onto the Astrodome and started throwing gang signs at the camera. You can see one little skank doing it on camera. I guess they couldn't edit that out. There no longer listed on Diamond store to pre order Hmm, can't say I'm sad. Maybe they will do a Marvel Movie box set or somethin like we were saying. Edited December 26, 2008 by TM2 Dinobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Well, that sucks...just because the movie sucked, doesn't mean I don't still want the 'Mates!! (Was there supposed to be a link in your post, TM2DB? And, that's a scary story! Jeesh!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 We really need some official news here about what is happening with all these sets that are being pulled off of DSTs site. I didn't really care for Ghost Rider but I wnated those minimate because they were minimates. I haven't seen Punisher yet but even if I think it sucks I still want this set.

luke314pi Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Heck, I wanted this set just because the Jigsaw minimate looks so close to the comic version. I really hope it still happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmm..... the Punisher mates are still on the DST site. With a release date of 1/28/08. You can still preorder. I'm totally confused with all the "cancellations".

minimadman Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I didn't really care for Ghost Rider but I wanted those minimate because they were minimates. I have seen this a lot in the thread so I went back and looked at the minimates for the Ghost Rider movie and they were extremely mediocre. I would like the punisher ones too though.

drgnrbrn316 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was wondering where the "controversy" was coming from too, since I never saw them disappear from either the Shipping List or the DST site. The recent blog post with the packaging shot seems to indicate that DST is still planning on releasing this, since it takes quite a bit of stupid to advertise something that you cancelled a month ago. I find it hilarious that you see the packaging with gunshot holes all in it and a scarred up mug on one of the figures, then at the top of the package in big letters it says "Ages 4 & Up".

MINI_MYTE Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm surprised that DST used the name "mob thug" on the packaging and not by his movie name of Looney Bin Jim. That was his name after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Glad to see and hear news on these but alot like the other movie mate series they don't rate high on my grab list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Great, yet another mystery! While the movie was disappointing, I agree with most that I really wanted these 'mates. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see if my pre-order gets cancelled like the "New Caprica" set...what a drag. "2009: the year of the Minimates" my ass...what a strange time.

TENIME_art Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am still getting a set for Jigsaw if nothing else. Same. Well, and the guns, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 well i'm guessing these are just about a go then, i can't wait to get these and i've not even seen the film (probably because it's not out over here) i'm looking forward to guns, guns, guns.......

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Still hate the 4 bubble packaging. Glad they're coming out though. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwspider Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Marvelous News just posted the release news on this wave with three shots from the set. I have to admit, I actually like the Punisher figure and may have to add this to my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I suppose the real question is, how to get a Thomas Jane head on these, as he's the real Punsiher. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypno Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) and maybe a Jennifer Garner Elektra. I actually liked that movie. The villians if nothing else were pretty cool, the tattooed man especially. Edited January 20, 2009 by hypno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infallible Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I suppose the real question is, how to get a Thomas Jane Dolph Lundgren head on these, as he's the real Punsiher. XD Fixed that one for you, buddy. As for me, I couldn't care less if these get dropped like Ghost Rider. I preordered these hoping the movie would be good, but I still haven't seen it and don't feel like I'm missing anything. I'd take a comic-based 4-pack over these any day.

I'd prefer a comic book set with a comic Jigsaw, a revision of the classic Punisher costume (those arms never fit right) and two other comic-derived figures.
