AllStarMatt Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm puzzled by them not revealing Red Skull, I get that they don't want the minimate to scoop them on his appearance before they show actual film photos or footage, but I don't get why he's under wraps from the film. I mean, it's pretty obvious what he's going to look like, some sort of modified military uniform and a red skull for a head. Considering how much has appeared online from the film, I'm surprised by the secrecy surrounding this character. It's not always a logical thing. When we were working on the X3 Minimates we were told in NO uncertain terms that we could not show Dark Phoenix or allude to her in any way shape or form because they didn't want to "ruin the surprise" of the movie. Seriously? You spent two movies building up Phoenix into this huge storyline and then you think Dark Phoenix is going to catch ANYONE by surprise? Eh, studios...

Lurch77 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have waited so long for a Minimate with guns for hands. So very long... Now if only could think of some good characters with gun hands to make customs of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Speaking of "gun hands," I wonder if those gloves will be able to hold those guns as well as Shatterstar can hold his swords... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 kind of funky. but over all I like them...especially big gun hand....KG Beast anyone? moc847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Not 100% on board with these (though I suspect they will look better in person, as they usually do), but I agree there's some very nice customizing options with these. Dr Mid-Nite is a great call; I made one a few years ago using Racer X's head, but I've never been satisfied with it and would be glad to replace it. I also think that, by combining some of these guys pieces, you could put together a pretty nice Snake Eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 They aren't bad, but much like the Iron Man army builders I'll buy a couple if I've got the extra money. If not, no biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 im hoping that each one of these will come with multiple weapons, if so i will buy much more of them than i was planning on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) - Heavy Assault I have friggin guns as hands Hydra AgentI think i read somewhere that he's a Flame-thrower Hydra Agent? I think lastweaponmaster posted this link earlier: http://www.toychestnews.com/default.asp?t=...104597&ssd= I have waited so long for a Minimate with guns for hands. So very long... Also, you could use those chest straps for the Winter Soldier (dammit, make the Winter Soldier already, DST!) Well - they ARE releasing Winter Soldier in the Cap A 3.75" line - maybe he'll be made in MiniMate form to? EDIT: Sorry - Winter Soldier is part of the 'Comic' wave from the Cap A Figures. http://marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=23&itemid=13811 - with the busy movie-mate schedule, i don't know that we'll be getting many complimentary comic waves this year Edited February 2, 2011 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 So the TV Spot aired. In the first image alone you can see the Howling Commandos. Dum Dum has his hat. Also, pics of Bucky and Red Skull was in the trailer. This is looking very, very good, and we definitely need more 'Mates form this film.

Nessex Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Same here, I just don't get WTH they're hiding skull face from us... This was from the Advertisment that premiered during the SuperBowl, right? Perhaps they were saving the reveal for a big event like the SB? Or maybe they got a discount on advertising during SB if they promised a big reveal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Same here, I just don't get WTH they're hiding skull face from us... maybe it was supposed to be a surprise until the TV spot aired (it was a super bowl ad I assume?) that way when you see the reveal its "neat" rather then "oh, I've seen that.."

Twisted Two-Face Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 by the pic they showed, they arnt hiding anything Agreed. I mean, yea we knew it was gonna be a "skin mask" instead of a skull-helmet (good call, actually), but did they have to show the big reveal in the 32-second trailer?? i mean, sure, show a clip OF the Skull, but not the key moment...just my opinion.

MiniFiend UK Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Here's the trailer Having watched it its really increased my interest in the movie. An Red Skull looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The trailer looks good, but you can tell from the first teaser they put together that this movie is just going to be the Iron Man film formula but with Captain America. I'm not saying that is a bad thing and I will probably enjoy it, but I was just hoping for a more epic feel from this movie, like the vibe that I'm getting from Thor. I guess I was hoping for more of a Saving Private Ryan feel from this...but then again they would have cast a completely different actor for Cap if that was the goal, so I should have seen it sooner. Not disappointed, just appropriately adjusting my expectations. That said, Red Skull looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjasontodd Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I don't think that's the big moment, but just one reveal. The big one might be when& how he is made like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disappointed, just appropriately adjusting my expectations. That said, Red Skull looks great! oh me too, whenever I've thought about this film, its been 'Saving Private Ryan meets superheroes' in my head... I've not really any idea why I managed to get that lodged in there... did someone involved in the project say this early on or something? That said, I thoroughly enjoyed that very brief trailer, and have v.high hopes for the film. I genuinely think Cap is the hardest of the Avengers to accurately translate to film, finding a balance between ballsy OTT heroics and gritty WWII realism... or something. ... I'm still more excited about Thor... Shakespearian superheroes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
