winkerbean Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Very nice! I hope balder fits in with the movie mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 So... many... new characters... TRU wave... excuse me while I grab my oxygen. Welp, guess I can live without Crossbones, shame about Balder possibly becoming scalper bait though. I hope this means Arnim Zola and Beta Ray Bill have a shot at appearing in wave... 41? 42? I can't keep track anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Looks good. Hopefully it's not impossible to find, like wave 10 has been so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 that would be great is wave 42 had the civil war cap in it get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Finally, all those who wanted a Kirby-esque Thor as part of the founding Avengers boxed set will feel contented now. Personally, I'm stoke for the Beta Ray Bill and Zola mates. I wonder if Bill will have a brand new head or use a modified HALO Jackal's head. Can't wait for the reveal.

stack32 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) I'm excited to see Beta Ray Bill, I was afraid we might get through all the Thor product without him being made. Wonder how they are going to differentiate Civil War Cap and Secret War Cap from previous releases? Edited April 21, 2011 by stack32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Is the link dead, the page isn't loading for me... Anyone have the full list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzerd Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Civil War Captain America & Arnim Zola Armored Thor & Beta Ray Bill Secret War Captain America & Crossbones (TRU exclusive) Kirby Thor & Balder the Brave (TRU exclusive) Does this mean comic Thor and Cap waves are upcoming as well? Hopefully it means we'll get comic versions of Odin, the Warriors Three and Sif at some point soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I can't see the link either-were their pics? Also, if this is wave 12, what is considedered wave 11? Is that the Cap moviemates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wonder how they are going to differentiate Civil War Cap and Secret War Cap from previous releases? I would guess that the CW Cap would not be dishevelled like the previous one..... http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=549&n=Civil+War+Captain+America (praise be to Ivan) ....whilst...have we had a Secret War Cap before?

youbastards Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Wave 11 is: - Fantomex / Mr Negative (TRU Exclusive) - Betsy Braddock / Nightcrawler (TRU Exclusive) - Wave 41 Bulky Hulk / Iron Man - Wave 41 Green Goblin / Unmasked Spider-Man Pix from Toyfair 2011 (Credit to DIO for some of the pix! ) Hopefully this TRU Wave 12 will tie in with Series 42, meaning a Thor/Cap comic book wave. The funny thing is, over the weekend I sculpted the face I was going to use for my Beta Ray Bill custom.... I'll post pix when I get home from work.

groundhog7s Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Thanks YB, it's getting hard to keep track of everything... So, is the idea of this wave that it will hit stores around the time of the DVD releases? Edited April 21, 2011 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm interested to see how these turn out. . .Beta Ray, Zola, Kirby Thor, and Crossbones should be nice additions to the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Beta Ray Bill FTW! Also liking a Crossbones and a Zola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Man, I have sooooooooo many Captain Americas now... and I like Cap, he's one of my favorites, definitely my favorite among the big guys, but they all look pretty much the same. Since Minimates don't translate different artists' styles all that well, I don't imagine that these look like Zeck and McNiven art, respectively. SW Cap, I think, will come with the broken shield he had at the end of the series, which will lead kids across America to say, "Mom, Captain America's shield is broken". Happy with Balder, Armin Zola, Crossbones and (most especially) Beta Ray Bill. Great choices! Still not Enchantress and Executioner, though.... :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Not sure how the Kirby Thor will differ much from the Classic Heroic Age Thor other than new face tampo and possibly a redesigned helmet and hair, any ideas? I'm hoping we get old-school Crossbones, instead of the newer design, but I'm sure the newer 'combat vest' version is the one we will get. Armored Thor? Secret War Captain America? Not sure if this costume was ever used in the comic, or just production art, anyone know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wow. That's a hell of a line-up for a TRU wave. I'm really glad to get practically all of these, except maybe for the Caps. But if Secret Wars Cap comes with a broken shield like Hellpop suggested, then even he's a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I would be more excited about this wave if I hadn't had to buy wave 9 on eBay and wave 10 is still so elusive. This is a great lineup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 the link is dead for me as well but that line up is awsome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Link is dead. Man, I can't believe this. I can't find wave 10 and here we are hunting down wave 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Congratulations, DST, you have successfully monopolized my toy budget for the rest of the calendar year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 This line up seems too good to be true. I hope that either (1) this is like the FF wave and all are really TRU exclusives or (2) the non-exclusives are from two waves instead of the normal one. I would really prefer to see Cap and Thor each support a specialty wave rather than be combined into one wave. I'm hoping we get old-school Crossbones, instead of the newer design, but I'm sure the newer 'combat vest' version is the one we will get. I hope we get both- all it would take is a slip on vest and an extra set of arms to turn Old Crossbones into New Crossbones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I haven't been this psyched for a wave in a long time. Beta Ray Bill might just be my #1 want Zola and Crossbones are huge as well. Baldur is a character I love but didn't think I'd ever see. Kirby and Armored Thor are really cool too. Looks like I'll have to track down the old bearded Thor for completeness sake. I think Secret War (not Wars) Cap will be the one from the Bendis/Dell'Otto mini-series that Youbastards posted the pic of. Hopefully well get mates of the rest of the "Secret Warriors" as well. They had some cool looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
