MinnesotaIceman Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Wave 12, I think. He was packaged with a Captain America with a strangely happy facial expression. Ah, thanks. Seriously, how do we not have a SHIELD army builder pack yet? Good question, Lobby. Someday, hopefully... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav-man Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Got my guys today and my Gabe figures hair tampo is totally of center, it almost touches his eye on one side and is way far back on the other side---looks like i'll keep his helmut on always cuz you can't really tell much when its on. Other than that, they are alright figures---i think the Thor mates were much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmaster12 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I picked up all but the Gabe set today as they didn't have it, but I am really surprised how good the figures are. I love it how Bucky, Cap, and Frontline Cap include the Handguns from the DC Blackhawk set, instead of the usual Minimate handgun. I think it's really cool how almost all of them can holster them. Dum Dum has to be my favorite, he just looks REALLY cool in that outfit, and the rifle holster is a nice touch. Everything else is great, though Golden Age cap is a pretty boring choice.

Seriously, how do we not have a SHIELD army builder pack yet? Good question, Lobby. Someday, hopefully... I have about 15 SHIELD minimate army builder troopers from the Ultimates Minimate Wave. They are awesome when displayed against the HYDRA or Hand and if you swap the head and hands you can get some really good ethnic diversity customs.

karamazov80 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I only opened the Golden Age Cap, but yeah, getting his shield on was a bitch, and I don't suspect it's gonna stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 the movie war time cap..whatever he is called is an AMAZING figure! and Dum Dum is right at home with Nick in his shield uniform I love minimates moc847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Seriously, how do we not have a SHIELD army builder pack yet? Agreed x 100! They would be a Perfect army builder. Bright vibrant colours that suit minimates. An important look that is integral to the 616. I'm kinda shocked that we haven't seen them yet. I've had to buy 5 Cap/Fury packs on eBay to amass the small collection of SHIELD agents that i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highassroller Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hey highassroller, haven't seen you skulking here in a while. Still up to your old crooked tricks? You know what I mean. If you mean posting factual information for members that will help them build their collections, yes same old. Army Builders for SHEILD troops was already created, and I think their realistic army fatigues match well with the Cap America Movie mates. Just look at Dum Dum and Bucky's movie costume and them look at the existing Army Builder fatigues. And if you mean getting insulted/harassed by members publicly on topics and via PM for no reason... than apparently yes... please feel free to stop negative comments.

luke314pi Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Alright guys, let's calm down and get back to the topic at hand. As long as highassroller plays by the rules, he is welcome back. With that said, if anyone is considering trading with him, I suggest reading the thread that youbastards linked to. But no need to comment on it any further here.

undeadpool Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 well said luke, back to these, i must say red skull is one of my favorite minimates now, he is full of detail. His arms and hands look awesome, the sculpt on the coat thing is great and the gun and face mask are awesome additions. I cant wait to see the hydra uniform version, i hope it has the cosmic cube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Was in NY state today and hit a TRU near Syracuse. No dice, the Captain America mates were not to be found. The lady at the front desk said that they weren't even being ordered by their store. Bummer. Ah well, glad to know there's help from fellow boardies here.

Nessex Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Army Builders for SHEILD troops was already created, and I think their realistic army fatigues match well with the Cap America Movie mates. Just look at Dum Dum and Bucky's movie costume and them look at the existing Army Builder fatigues. I was refering to the 616 Shield look, rather than the Ultimate universe SHIELD look. The Ultimate SHIELD agents were very cool, but my heart lives in the 616 and craves agents dressed a bit more like what CaptainRon has posted over @ thefwoosh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I just got word that the army builder cases are arriving at our store next week. Cool Toy Review is reporting that the Cap Specialty wave will be hitting on June 1. Does that sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I really hope that is right. Otherwise, the Movie Cap stuff would feel very imcomplete since the TRU stuff is out and the army builder is coming soon. Heck, do we even know the case ratio for the army dump?

Lobsterman Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 IIRC, Luke said a few weeks ago he was expecting them in May. So, beginning of June doesn't sound too far off. I would guess June 3, though, as Monday holidays tend to push LCS shipments back from Wednesday to Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I will know for sure on Thursday, but I am expecting it to be in the next 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 TRU wave showed up at my TRU today so I picked up the exclusives. Can't wait for the actual wave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slythe Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I just picked up the sets at TRU. This particular TRU is notorious for mis-pricing things/putting stuff in the wrong place. The Cap minimates were shelf labeled as Marvel Movie MiniMates - $3.49. Needless to say, I got them for that price! I haven't purchased any Marvel miniMates in forever (at least for myself instead of custom fodder)....so many cool parts to these guys.

karamazov80 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Here's Hydra Skull: http://cgi.ebay.com/Captain-America-MiniMates-Red-Skull-Hydra-Uniform-/300560905573?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fad37565 Looks pretty nifty from what I can tell. Glad I got a pre-order in from Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
