All will be available for purchase at the Diamond Select Toys booth, as well as at other select booths on the show floor. The exclusive products are as follows: - Marvel vs. Capcom Minimates Box Set – From the arenas of “Marvel vs. Capcom 3″ come four of the game’s greatest heroes, as an exclusive four-pack of Minimates!

Sculpted by Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum. In addition to the box set, figure and statue, there will be four different individually bagged Minimates MAX figures given away throughout the show, while supplies last, as well as four Pirate Raiders Minimates that you can collect to create your own box set at the end of the weekend.

karamazov80 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The word "meh" comes to mind. Maybe AFX will give us something else Marvel-related, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Each time I've been to SDCC I say it's my last but how I'll miss it . :sad: My next-door neighbour (MNDN=nice guy) had his bro (H=nicer guy) stay with him a couple of weeks ago (lives in Houston ) & all three of us went for a few beers (many) one evening & I mentioned that I passed through Houston on my way to the ComicCon . MNDN smirked.... H was in awe ...." You've been to ComicCon? " "Twice" "Wow...that's the biggest...blah blah ..fantastic....blah blah ....geeks...fans...blah blah ...women....Superman ......" "yeah it's an experience" MNDB (my age BUT VERY OLD) was completely f%cked. SDCC ....GO THERE! As for the Minimates & T-shirts on offer ......remember me :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I love that Alice! Happyhappyhappyhappyhappy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioad Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If that White Phoenix was the regular release I would have bought it. Not interested in Dante or that ridiculous looking Deadpool at all. Arthur looks kinda interesting. Can't justify buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 White Phoenix of the Crown <3 been waiting a while for her. Brighter side, she'll be VERY easy to turn into a Dark Phoenix!!!! Two-for-one deal, very nice. I also love all of Dante's costumes, that's my fav Deadpool costume to play with, and well....another Arthur is cool i guess.... Anyone that's going and wouldn't mind grabbing me and Alice would be a new favorite member, though!! She's a beautiful figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastmaximal Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) See, I knew they'd find a way to make a White Phoenix of the Crown as soon as I started painting mine up. Still want it though, if only to have an official one. I might switch heads and hair, though, as I'm not terribly fond of the way the face on this looks. "X-Men" Deadpool, on the other hand, is my sole reason to get that set. It's third only to Marvel Girl Deadpool and Thor Deadpool in the Deadpool costume-steals I want to see in Minimate form Arthur is mainly going to give me parts for either a Prometheus or Batman Inc Knight custom. Dante will at least lend some neat unique parts. [i'm going to keep the standard-release versions as the main versions.] Is this the only exclusive set we're getting, or is AFX due to announce one too as before? Edit: rats, i got the deadpool costume wrong. Leaning toward a pass now, or a much more delayed buy. Edited June 3, 2011 by lastmaximal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I really dig the Alice minimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I should say that I do like the look of the MvC characters, and will buy them. I particularly like Arthur (we haven't seen an official pic of Arthur until now I don't believe, and the face is awesome). The Deadpool will also "pop" off the shelf a bit. But straight up repaints in general are a kind of bummer when we're missing so many Marvel characters. "Alice" aka "girl with blank expression and boring dress" is a total pass for me, though. Nice to see DST/AA revisiting the 2.5" figures, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 "Alice" aka "girl with blank expression and boring dress" is a total pass for me, though. Nice to see DST/AA revisiting the 2.5" figures, though. Damn - my heart skipped a beat for a minute there! I don't think she will be a 2.5" minimtae the way Bane/Croc/Ares etc . . . were. I'm assuming they mean that she is in the current scale which we call 2" minimates, but DST/Chuck likes to call 2.5" because the boots/headpieces etc . . . sometimes add an extra 1/2".

karamazov80 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Crap, I think you're right. They also refer to the MvC figures as 2.5" tall. You're pushing it, DST. And you don't wanna push me! Or I'll write a very stern letter of complaint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minideadpool Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Is anyone attending SDCC this year that might be able to help me out with some of those pirates minimates. I have a few sets I would be willing to trade for the time and effort. The pirate series is really cool and would love to have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Art Asylum confirmed on Facebook that besides the MvC and AFX Thor sets, there are 2 other SDCC exclusives that will be available that haven't been announced yet.

Turtle Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Was the TRU MvC set officially revealed? I'm hoping that the other retailer exclusive is something grand. So far I'm only on board for the AFX Thor set (and possibly the promos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I'm only on board for the AFX Thor set (and possibly the promos). Officially? No. But based on the leaked list of upcoming product in the TRU system, I've given up hope on something interesting from them and accepted that it's going to be repaints of Marvel vs. Capcom figures.

Or I'll write a very stern letter of complaint! I'm pretty sure someone asked Chuck about this somewhere (Minimates being suddenly listed as 2.5" rather then 2") and he basically said what Nessex said: it allows them a little more freedom in bulking figures up. I think it's unlikely that we'll ever see the bigger body again-- which is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Beta Ray Bill's awesome. Interesting that they would go with a modern comics tie-in for the Disney Store. I haven't read the book, so I'm on the fence about these. When did Sue Storm become Tron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 That FF set looks amazing! The Stormbreaker set is really cool, but it is unfortunate that Thor had to be in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I have to say, maybe DST has taken the QC complaints to heart. The 'in-package' pix of all of these characters look really nice, the colors are bright, these will be nice additions to the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
