Fujis Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Great wave - I think there are going to be a ton of Dr. Manhattan & Leonidas from 300 customs made from that Atlantean soldier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Whilst this was predictable it's still great to see it confirmed......Mole Man is a huge want for me but where's the moloids ? Invisible Girl Variant coming up in Wave whatever.......although I see she's phasing in this wave?

Pete Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Looks like Doom comes with a second head and is that a "stretch" accesory with Reed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Colour me happy. Moleman and translucent Human Torch with a logo I said in another thread I would be happy with a Torch like the SHS squad one that had a logo on it and now its here weakest of these has to be Dr doom it just looks a little wacky. So this looks like a preview of waves 38/39 I would guess with the Atlantian soldier and a yet unseen Moleman minion as the army builders. Nice touch is that Moleman has the shorter foot like Ma Hunkel and I think penguin to show his stature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh good, a TRU exclusive army builder figure. Either we're kicking the trend of overlapping with the regular Marvel releases with this wave, or Marvel series 38 is going to feature some of the non-exclusive characters.

Santos L Halper Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 These look great, hope my TRU can sell off the 15 Silver Centurion Iron Man/Crimson Dynamo and the 12 Neo Classic Iron Man/Stilt Man before these come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 These look great! Finally Mole Man I'm not too keen on that Doom either though, but oh well, I'm happy with the rest. Serious packaging design flaw on the Atlantean Soldier though, can't even see the figure with that helmet broom sticking up. It almost looks like there's a censored bar in front of his face.

Nessex Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) SHA-BANG! Finally; a sue Storm who doesn't look like Mrs Brady! FA Doom looks like a pretty pitiful parts re-use figure. Clearly it's a bit of a parts re-use wave in general, but i think it's time to retire that Moon Knight Cape+Hood . . . They've done well to find more figures to use the Ares parts though! i think i'll just begetting the exclusives from this wave - they seem like the 4 figures i want most anyway.

boyd Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 "TRU exclusive army builder" - nothing like taking the already-in-demand shortpacked sets and adding even more reason to buy them... The wave does look nice - that's the best looking Reed we've ever gotten, Sue looks nice, and Thing looks a little top-heavy. Mole Man is great (need Moloid army-builders now), but I wish they had used a different hood for First Appearance Doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I think these are the best versions of the FF team yet. From the photos, I think I like this Thing better than the wave 37 one. Doom might need some work, but Mole Man looks fantastic. I wonder if the Atlantean Soldier will come with a trident/spear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanezey Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 If there was ever a time to get a Fantastic Four set this would be it. They look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I wonder if the Atlantean Soldier will come with a trident/spear? Maybe a re-issue of the one that came with Aquaman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh, sweet, a troop builder that I won't be able to find. Nice job, DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 As an extra note for all my fellow canucks on here....I have been told that this wave will be the start of these TRU waves being available at Canadian TRUs!!!!!

blacksun1520 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh, sweet, a troop builder that I won't be able to find. Nice job, DST. I think you'll be OK. The Mole Man / Sue Storm is the TRU exclusive, so the rest should be part of the normal wave 38 release. But you can be angry about trying to find MM/SS. Just sayin.

TENIME_art Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Exclusive sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonpr Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 So the only ones that exclusives are the sticker ones? Does that meant that the other are probably going to be the bulk of wave 38? Regardless I have to get the FF and I always wanted a better Sue. If the half invisible one is exclusive I'm gonna have to get her. Can pass on Namor though. The Invaders one is the only one I think I'll ever need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksun1520 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Exclusive sticker. Hadn't noticed that, sorry. I was going by the description underneath: This time it’s Toys R Us Minimate Style! Oh yes, in TRU Marvel Series 8, the Fantastic Foursome battles the likes of their most prolific villians…Namor, Doom, and Mole Man! The 2-pks (with commentary) are as follows: The moley Mole Man & The non-moley Sue Storm (Exclusive to TRU!) Underwater nemesis Namor & his worker fish Atlantean Soldier The dashing Mr. Fantastic & the scheming Dr. Doom The meddlesome Human Torch & the stoic Thing Check them out only in Toys R Us! So I guess we'll just have to wait for the Wave 38 line up to find out if the description, or the sticker are wrong BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 my guess is that the namor/atlantean is a variant pairing with maybe the namor being exclusive because they need someone with a variant to be paired with the army builder for the regular wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Or, they could fix the frakking case ratio so that these are plentiful enough so that people who only want one can get it & people who want 10 can also get them... But we know that'll never happen, because they've already flat-out refused to... *sigh* There'll be a bunch of people who have a crapload, and even more who have none. Prove me wrong, DST. Please. I'd rather be whining for nothing than completely justified for it. I'd rather everyone here say "told you so, just relax", than have to go through another Bullseye/Moonstone/Warpath/Angel/Hulkbuster Iron Man/Gamma Hulk (I have never seen a single one of these in stores - ever) situation again.
