Lobsterman Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Chuck was dressed up like Kang. Just kidding. That would have been awesome, though. The panel was actally pretty sedate. There were maybe 50 tops, and it made the room look really empty. Chuck kind of seemed like he would rather have been somewhere else....

bilbofett Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 swordsman...??? hmmm I like that idea( to think I was about to make a custom, regardless I'm still making him)but what the heck is a "for example"? ouch on the storm...but heck I want that molecule man/spiderwoman(i voted for her in the Tru poll). By my count there's still one more 2-pack for the TRU wave. Maybe Storm will be in that pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Chuck kind of seemed like he would rather have been somewhere else.... That is genuinely, & without any malice intended or any character assassination.... the way that I remember him from last year's event He probably wanted to get back down to TRU to find a Moonstone set. I also checked out the Kangconquersforum earlier & everbody is going berserk about the SDCC announcement of the Mysteryman/Murderofcrows AFX exclusive.....it's about time.

Colonel America Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 swordsman...??? hmmm I like that idea( to think I was about to make a custom, regardless I'm still making him)but what the heck is a "for example"? Because Swordsman would be one of two characters required to finish out the Thunderbolts team, so he's an example of team building. Hopefully this means we'll get him with Songbird soon. I really want to see Ellis' THunderbolts roster finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 So if the Spider-Woman 2 Secret Wars figure is slightly different than the earlier variant they get around that rule? Like the back in black spidey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Haha, I love the Silver Age X-Men. Especially Iceman in his rainboots. They look great, even the duck feet actually work for once -- hopefully they won't end up hollowing them out like on the X-Factor Beast they had on display, it made him look like a dwarf. I was kinda hoping they'd make Iceman solid white plastic for this one though, since he was more "snowy" back then... Bummed not to see mohawk Storm, but I'm not sure what you guys want attendees to actually ask Chuck? He's just gonna say they combined the poll results and she ended up 7th or lower. DST clearly don't consider the AA poll separate or more important, so Storm "winning" there doesn't mean anything. Thanks again, to attendees taking time out to post news.

MiniFiend UK Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Classic X-men, excuse me while I have a geekgasm (Huuhhhgghhh) Thanks to all for the news and I'm really jealous SDCC seems like a place I may never get to but I would love to even the girlfriend looking at the pictures is becoming tempted.

Twisted Two-Face Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Wow...i expected...more...All i really care about are the FA X-men set (Yay Jeanie!!) and Julia...no New Caprican Tigh is really upsetting. This panel sounds like a total dud so far though; that sucks. I really expected a lot more announced for 2010. Looking forward to some in-depth posting and possibly a video or two, but i don't see much more out of this. The lack of attendance is just awful. Mystery Man: lol, not THAT AFI.

Perhaps in a world where 'any news' gets related to us instantly 'the panel' will always be an anti-climax . To be fair I'm probably Mr.Cynical on these boards ,I recognise the failings of 'Theythatsupplyus' & they definitely aren't 'up to speed' with many of us here but I can't fault their efforts in bringing home the goods this year......if only they could sort out getting them to us in 2010 'Cause the human race is lazy, here's the pics: Thankyou!

Nervous Rex Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hey Twisted, being a part of the human race... I take offense to that...you don't like how fast the news gets here...stop being lazy, get off your arse , and go to the con yourself. then you don't have to rely on the lazy folk and get the news first hand. I am annoyed at a lot of the negativity around here, and am seriously considering giving up participating here. I want to see these pics pretty bad too, but i don't feel i should have to sift through all this whining to do so. sorry to anyone who has to read through my post, but i am surprised at how greedy we as a community have become, with the demands on dst, and fellow collectors, to give us up to the second news...shit, i have wanted a proper angel from day one, but you will not find a post from me demanding we get one. where do we get the nerve these days. sorry guy/gals, i apologize for the rant, but we are getting news, sorry if its not as much as most of you would like. sorry, nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesium salami Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Battlebeasts! Are you kidding me!!!?? I loved those things. I probably had about 100 a few years ago and ended up selling them, playsets and all on eBay. Holy crap, this is awesome. This ties minimates to TFs! I wonder if they'll have the fire/water/wood stickers? Good news on the normally 2 per case TRU exclusives. I thought the Wonder-Man/Union Jack pack was about right: it could be found with some diligence, but didn't sit too much. Bullseye/Moonstone has been ridiculous. And Molecule Man and Spider-woman are coming in the next TRU wave? The ones the signs advertise for August? That's pretty quick. Still, Battle Beasts!

karamazov80 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I've recently been reading the early issues of X-Men. Given that they have been on my mind, this set is really great to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I've recently been reading the early issues of X-Men. Given that they have been on my mind, this set is really great to see. It's pretty standard (meaning good) Marvel fare until around the 20's or 30's... when Werner Roth gets on the book. Then it just kind of drags. I buy all the Marvel Masterworks and for me, volumes 3 and 4 (?) were the ones that I had to force myself to read an issue a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty creepy, huh? Very! Although Xavier's pretty creepy in the '80s comics I've read too, now that I think about it (that's as far back as I've gone with the X-books)... always mind-wiping people and messing with his students' heads...

Trekker 42 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yeah... Xavier loves Jeanie... Glad that went nowhere. I love the old X-Men books. But the prime of the X-Men was the beginning of Clairmont's era: Dark Phoenix, Hellfire Club, Days of Future Past, and let's not forget that he created a good chunk of the X-Men roster that we all know and love. Reading the Essential X-Men trades makes me want X-Men back to that instead of intergalactic wars and a massive mutant cast. Because when I got truly into comics, before I went all-Ultimate, X-Men was the first team I gave up on. Because I had no idea what the f**k was f**king going on. Anyway. I love these minimates. Love them all. Seriously. Except Warpath. Never liked the character. Though he does look badass. If I get him, he's going to become a menace for my Minis because he looks kinda evil. And I probably will get him for Angel... Well it looks like a productive year is coming for us. Bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
