Twisted Two-Face Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Don't toy with me Two-Face... It's embarassing to make a grown man weep. My two other scaled Steve Rogers figures are getting lonely without their blocky counterpart!! (I'm REALLY shocked her hasn't showed up yet.) I'm hoping Zach sees that post.... Wave looks good though; I actually like Ryu more than the redo that's coming. Hate the hairpiece on the other one. Still more excited for Chris and Jill though!!!

dr baghead Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 First is 1st Appearance Ryu. He's well...an accurate representation of Ryu from SF 1...but who wants a Ryu from SF 1?? He looks ridiculous. The fireball energy blast is back and even with the new stand he can't stand up with it attached. Sorry DST but this one is a dud. *I* want a Ryu from SF1, I think he looks great and far from ridiculous. (you can always give him flesh colored feet to make him look less silly and he’s instantly a “Street Fighter Alpha” Ryu, aka “X-Men Vs Street Fighter” Ryu, so look! bonus!)

Of the figures of this wave, SF1 Ryu is the one I want the most. He looks great and I'm glad to see he turned out so well. Thanks for the pics.

jcastick Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 aawww man......I want the Sentinel/Ryu 2 pack!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 These look great. I love how Spencer's action stand looks like he stepped in a wad of gum and lifted his shoe. Oh and has anybody else noticed that the Sentinel has two upright vacuum cleaners for legs? Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I wish they would repaint a normal Cap shield for Taskmaster instead of the one they used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think Invisible Woman's shield works better though. More curvy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of SF games that DON'T have 2 in the title, I am also anxious to get this minimate. Glad to see the Hadouken blast is back .

That's my issue with it, it's so curved that it doesn't look like a shield to me, especially if Cap is anywhere nearby. I'd rather have it than nothing, but I imagine when I get Taskmaster he'll acquire some other accessories and the shield will get thrown in a box with other extra accessories.

Well sure, but the curvier shield is accurate; his doesn't look like Cap's. Really like Taskmaster's grey and blue combo; his eyes really pop too.

ImABarRoomHero Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Alright, so that makes 3 different hair styles that Ryu has been shown with....does that mean maybe the LCS will be different? Also, earlier on this thread Zach did say something about alternate hairstyles....maybe a last minute change up? Nevermind, sometimes I need to re-read posts before accessing my damaged database aka brain. Forgot there will be a wave 3 Ryu as well.

I've never noticed Taskmaster's shield depicted significantly differently than Cap's shield, but I've only read 3 or 4 books that featured the character and those skewed more modern, so maybe my issue is with the source material. That issue aside, it is a fantastic update. Edited February 18, 2012 by stack32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have yet to find any of these TRU series 2 minimates in Houston yet, has anyone else found these lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 they haven't shown up yet in NH as far as I can tell. Although I haven't seen anything new since MvC1 and Universal Monsters Drac and Frank. :sad: I really hate TRU exclusives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Zach stated a while ago that the only ones that have been released is the sample case that TRU gets. The main shipment hasn't hit TRU warehouses yet, so no reports of in-store sightings. Luke stated that the LCS wave 2 will be arriving next week.

DSTZach Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yes, please do not look for these yet. The LCS wave shows up next week, but it'll be a little while before the TRU assortment arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Saboteur Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well with all the depressing release date news I think this thread needs an enema....ok not really what it needs is pretty pictures so here we go. Thanks so much for taking the time to post these pictures, i have to say looking at them i like them all. Nathan Spencer, although I don't know anything about him looks really awesome :biggrin: Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yes, please do not look for these yet. The LCS wave shows up next week, but it'll be a little while before the TRU assortment arrives. Wait, I thought the LCS wave got pushed back to March 28? Is it back to Feb 28? And, "a little while..." are we talking months on that like the vehicles wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting the TRU exclusives will be hard to find. What about the specialty store exclusives, Jill Valentine/Storm,Super Skrull/C Viper? It's nice to get some new characters in mm form.

It hasn't been my experience, but for others it is a reality, and international collectors already need to rely on others. But the specialty ladies should be plentiful. Need to double-check who the 2-per-case set is. Edited February 28, 2012 by Zach Oat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
