havok Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 i was gonna say the same thing about banshee's hair, it needs to be shaggy. Another example of the same hair piece that sunspot uses http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=726&n=Magneto -- still don't think that would be perfect but not bad. Havok looks great with the Cap hair piece though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the face, I used Chun Li because she was screaming...however, that is mostly just a placeholder since the head looks cartoony and female. The only other "screaming minimates" I can think of are from the Ghostbuster's line... but they would all look too old to be a teen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about James Howlett? http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=755&n=James+Howlett You could use that face as his first test flight off the 3rd floor before he went *splat*.

dj87 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'd been thinking... if they don't get around to making a Banshee soon, I'd use the WWII Cap Head, y'know... from the TTA box set. again, not perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) I opened my Magneto set after seeing the movie. Inaccurate thought it may be, it's still pretty nifty. Will put my second Mags' helmet on. . .another character that may or may not wear the helmet in the film Edited June 10, 2011 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Will put my second Mags' helmet on. . .another character that may or may not wear the helmet in the film was hoping someone would post this picture... in a spoiler perhaps? Oh, and as for Banshee again, as for hair, what about the piece that comes with Karma, Nina Myers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and as for Banshee again, as for hair, what about the piece that comes with Karma, Nina Myers, etc. I would post it but no camera. However I can say that it actually DOES look quite good on said character who may or may not exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr baghead Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Will put my second Mags' helmet on. . .another character that may or may not wear the helmet in the film I think it's okay to post this picture and reveal the character's identity... The first guest on Craig Ferguson's show last night was the one who played said character and the two of them talked about "the hat" for several minutes and showed a clip of the character in question wearing it in action. because unless more then Magneto and (other) wore the helmet and a secret 3rd person is the one we're being coy about that cats out of the bag even if you haven't seen the movie.

Pete Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'd hardly call it a spoiler myself, to know it before hand doesn't really ruin much. But I'm still not gonna be the one to say who... people do get sensitive about these things after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Okay, I got these. I love these. You could actually get another Shaw/X set and make Banshee and Thunderhead/whoever out of the spare Shaw suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does DST have something against making a Banshee minimate in any form? They didn't make one of him for this series, or for the Giant Size X-Men set... He always seems to be the odd man out.

Nessex Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The DST fan page on Facebook made mention of the AoA banshee recently Running out of big/distinctively different characters, but AoA SInister will be in the next Marvel wave: http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2011/06/marvel-minimates-continue-with-nimrod-fantomex-betsy-braddock-and-mr-negative/ I wouldn't mind seeing a Colossus, eventually. Dug out my AoA trades, to see who we missed. Storm! Sugar Man! Banshee! Abyss! Nightcrawler! Angel! Some cool designs, admittedly. . . . don't know if thats a hint, or just him chatting it up a bit.

I guess we can never tell for sure... for all we know this could be a Human Torch/H.E.R.B.I.E.-type situation. *holds breath for a future specialty wave with Banshee, possibly with Siryn as the variant* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Finally found these; all except Beast/Azazel. Actually, they had like 6 on the floor but it showed 12. I do commend them for their effort though; i got a rather nice girl who's familiar with me and she tried for 30 minutes to find the rest; even she's confused at where they are. Bright side is that i wanted Beast the least, and there's a truck tomorrow. We shall see.... So glad to have Sebastian Shaw; loved Bacon's portrayal, as you can see by my new avatar.

He always seems to be the odd man out. Which is funny because Banshee was a prominent character in the early Claremont X-Men, he essentially acts as team leader when they are in Ireland and face Black Tom and Magneto. For me in giant sized boxset I'd rather see Banshee then Thunderbird any day, mainly because Thunderbird lasted all but 3 issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I saw the movie and only remember two wearing the helmet. Who's the third? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who has appeared in a Dreadful tele-movie, a blockbuster x-men film, been in comic continuity for a good 30+ years & featured repeatedly in what was arguably the most successful x-men cartoon series - he's been strangely overlooked at every turn when it comes to minimates. Even Marvel Legends waited on releasing him until Toybiz handed over the property to Hasbro. (And that figure was pretty lame when it did finally show up) For an irish guy, he hasn't had a lot of luck in the toy department recently.

The third was people speculating on if they missed something. No it was just the two you saw, nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I hope these sell better because I think it would be cool to get a Final Scene Magneto, Riptide, Angel, Moira. I actually don't really want Banshee that bad from this film, I understand completely for people wanting to finish the team, but I'd MUCH rather have a comic style Banshee, he has a few different looks I think would be cool(Blue/Yellow, Green/Yellow, AoA) and wouldn't want them to write him off if they made him from this and think we don't still need a comic one.
