Lurch77 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 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! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Anyone else disappointed with the Nightcrawler and Psylocke 'variants'? I hate the San Serif hair on any mate. At least the face is decent for lady-mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Only thing that really bothers me about Betsy is that the arms look freaky, like they were taken from another figure and stuck on that body. Not sure what else they could have done given that it seems accurate to her comic look, but still. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Fantomex and Negative, all I'm getting and they both look amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Betsy just looks like she's missing a jacket or trench coat. And well, at least I can get an Excalibur Nightcrawler replacement as mine has a crappy leg paint app. It just dawned on me now that it's the same exact Nightcrawler. And for some reason, Mr. Negative is looking better than last time. I dropped Uncanny X-Force so my stock rating on Fantomex has sunk but is still welcomed to finish off the team.

Wait wait wait....are you trying to tell me you STOPPED reading Uncanny X-Force? That's easily the best book I've read in years. I stopped reading at the end of Siege due to lack of interest then this series pulled me back in with avengance. Sooooo good, plus Issue 4 is already a 25 dollar book, woot woot.

Not sure what else they could have done given that it seems accurate to her comic look, but still. . . I think that that is because of her pink balls (stop that sniggering at the back)& the way she's been posed. The 'paint cost' admission recently by Chuck has really started to bug me with many 'mates obviously feeling the pinch....I of course appreciate that this is a promo .

youbastards Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Yeah, Betsy's arms are completely wrong. Normal Minimate arms with a slipover piece at the wrist would look a lot better. Or DST could simply copy Psyguy's recipe, I would be 100% happy with that! As pinkballsheadsmate said, hoping the final product differs.

pioad Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I agree. The "puffy at the top" arms have bothered me since they showed the prototypes. Slip over pieces with a better color palette would greatly help this figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I don't even think she needs a slip over piece. Regular, unadorned arms wood look fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I agree. The "puffy at the top" arms have bothered me since they showed the prototypes. Slip over pieces with a better color palette would greatly help this figure. Agreed. I don't know if anybody has ever mentioned it before, but have you ever noticed how the right puffy arm always sticks out further than the left arm when pegged on the torso block of a minimate. Shadowcat has this, 90's Storm has this as does AoA JG, AoA Rogue and Shatterstar. Fortunately each of the previous mates mentioned have some type of upper torso accessory that blocks the view of the arm pegs. Psylocke will be the first mate that lacks that type of accessory. I think DST should use the typical MM arm and have some type of puffy forearm accessory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah, it's always bothered me that the socket is so much more shallow. That combined with the added bulk really creates a football pad effect that just really doesn't work with the characters in question.

As much as I wanted to like the book due to its roster, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I might still follow in trades but I'm glad there's other people still enjoying it. The Dark Archangel storyline sounds interesting. Too bad there couldn't be a Fantomex spaceship in the MAX line. I was randomly thinking of that while I was reading issue 4.

Nessex Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 cannot agree enough about betsy's wacky arms. Hopefully this gets changed before release - but i'm doubting it will. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I hope that TRU wave 11 sign with the "July 2011" release date is true. I need that Hulk so my Thing doesn't feel out of place, like, yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Potentially dumb question, but is this Nightcrawler any different from the one that comes with the Excalibur box set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i can tell, which doesn't really make him exclusive. Although - i think TRU gets around it by saying that the '2-Pack' is exclusive. I hope he comes with a rapier or something at least a little different. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need that Hulk so my Thing doesn't feel out of place, like, yesterday. Except, then, my Red Hulk, Skaar & Abomination will feel out of place. Very true. But with Red Hulk and Abomination I can see being bigger. I actually kinda like Skaar being a little smaller than Hulk, though, since he's his son. It's weird and poopy to me, though, because not having the updated Hulk yet means there's a weird gap in my collection of "Main Characters".

TENIME_art Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I can agree with leaving Skaar alone. But I'm at least gonna be grabbing an extra Hulk and trying to paint match red... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
