Nessex Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 SWEET J3SUS!!! I'm going to have to watch that thread like a hawk for the next 24 hours!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Loved the movie! Can't wait for at least half of my First Class minimates to come in the mail tomorrow with the other half mid next week. They really did a great job with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Who are all those other jerks trying to compete with me for original design sheets? The nerve of some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I like most of these minimates except for one thing... Xavier has two right legs with one on backwards... I contacted DST but I expect nothing considering your experiences Brothers in Matedom. If it falls through, is there anyone out there who can spare a left leg of any of the First Class X-Men other than Beast? They're all the same so any would work, but Xavier isn't paralyzed yet so he does need to walk... As for the movie... Kick freakin ass I loved it. I think it's the best Marvel film yet.

Don't mean to bring you down, but DST typically doesn't have any spare parts of TRU exclusive stuff. Unless something has changed, your best bet might be exchanging it or hoping someone here has two left legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 You're wife is a lucky duck Pete. Now... how do you plan to get the design sheet away from her when she gets it in the mail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I won me some Minimates! Just after I bought several of them from TRU.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 You're wife is a lucky duck Pete. Now... how do you plan to get the design sheet away from her when she gets it in the mail? Good point!? I'll fight her if I have too... I can take her out easily! Whatever way I do it, it's gonna cost me big time. I'll post what she/i get when it arrives, hope they're cool with shipping to the UK though!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Unless I'm mistaken, they've shipped out of the country with previous contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I won me some Minimates! Just after I bought several of them from TRU.com Congrats dude! Pity you bought them too, but at least now you've got extra fodder to make the missing characters. Unless I'm mistaken, they've shipped out of the country with previous contests. That's good to know! Thinking about it, the posted me a Rocky hairpiece a while ago without and problems, plus they didn't specify US only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I actually found these and the Calico Jack sets today at TRU. On top of that, I won a design sheet from that Facebook thing. Good day for Minimate collector me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrtankengine Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I found these tonight as well. I thought I would have no interest in these figures, but the good buzz about the movie made me think I might regret passing them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 I think the positive buzz about the movie will be changing a lot of opinions and I expect these to not peg-warm as much (especially since the only other merch will be Hot Toys, which is in a price range that's just a little above Minimates).

God Magnus Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I won me some Minimates!

Huh. So Hasbro's not doing 3 3/4" figures for this movie? Real weird to see Minimates and HT figures without also seeing traditional action figures. Congratulations to you and Pete's wife(I was wondering why there was a female on the winner's list)! I, sadly, did not win. Thanks! I won a Sideshow statue during Spooktacular, and now this, so I reckon my luck's used up for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJones Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Found a case of these and two cases of the Pirates minis on the pegs at TRU in King of Prussia, PA today. $7.49 for all of them and all were even-packed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrobotC Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I modified the Azazel and Beast 2pk. Beast nails were painted yellow,while the tuffs of hair on his hands and feet were painted blue,his hair is from brown wolverine,just painted blue. Azazel was given normal red hands,a skirt peice with the tail glued to the pack.He is also given larry talbots hair,which i think works better.

MINI_MYTE Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thanks for pointing that out BrobotC. It just dawned on me that Azazel didn't have 3 digit hands in the movie like Nightcrawler. Something other than the hair was throwing me off about this minimate. You did a fantastic modification there. With a little more planning DST could have given us your version which is by far better looking. I'm going to borrow your mod recipe when mine arrives.

Lobsterman Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Dangit. I originally got these mostly out of support for the line, and fully expected to throw all of them in my custom fodder bin. I saw the movie last night, and it was amazing. Now I'm going to need more sets for customs, because these are all going on the shelf.
