buttheadsmate Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Everybody's opinion is welcome in a discussion forum . My use of the word "dammit" was aimed at myself ....y'know like ..."dammit there's nothing for me to moan about". Soothe,sit,take-it-easy we're all cool.

boyd Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 You mean "glad I hadn't started working on a modern costume Odin, but decided to do a Classic Kirby Odin instead," right? Well, I do have a bunch of parts and no good place to use them now. Anybody got good reference for a classic Kirby Thor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh.. dang... reference for a classic Marvel character from the 70s... nope, can't think of anyone who would have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Color me excited for The Worthy. I'm surprised we didn't see these earlier. Color me lukewarm for The Mighty. I hope it does well though, because I really want a Red She Hulk and her, to quote Matt Fraction, "Big ass sword" to become a reality.

Punisher Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I haven't read anything Marvel since Secret Invasion ended, and think Fear Itself looks really bad, but I will be picking up "The Mighty" for that cool Odin, and Hawkeye for parts. I wonder if Ironman's "spikes" will be painted on or sculpted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hope you dig 'em as much as I dig 'em, Awesome! That is a hint to the return of Cereal Minimates, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 called it....*has a seizure from the epicness* you were all there, im pretty sure i called this one Well, now I know Undeadpool's real name... I never read Fear Itself so I don't know what the story is...but I don't really care for any of these new Mates. Both sets are a pass for me. Not even Odin? I thought Odin came out pretty great.

Twisted Two-Face Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 @Zach: Sin has her ponytail sculpted, right?? I'm sure she will, but i figure i'd make sure. And remember, Ms. Marvel & Doctor Strange with their "The Mighty" Weapons 2-pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm not sure that even Mirymate could give us a precis. Challenge Accep... oh who am I kidding, it was 100 freakin' books. I can give you the extreme Miry notes version- Cul was Odin's brother and at some point in pre history Odin imprisons the Fear God in the deepest watery hole on Midgard. Cul's generals were also banished somewhere, but each wielded a huge uru hammer. In the 1940's the Red Skull and the Vril Society discover one of those hammers cannot lift it. Years later, his daughter Sin can, she's tranformed by the hammer into goddess and frees Cul, known as the Serpent. The Serpent then summons 7 more hammers and each claims a host and transforms them into one of Cul's warriors- Kuurth: Breaker of Stone (Juggernaut), Nul: Breaker of Worlds (Hulk), Skirn: Breaker of Men (Titania), Nerkkod: Breaker of Oceans (Attuma), Greithoth: Breaker of Wills (Absorbing Man), Mokk: Breaker of Faith (Grey Gargoyle), and Angrir Breaker of Souls (Thing). Sin, now Skadi, rounds up every neo-Nazi and subversive she can find and these empowered heavy weights start killing people and breaking stuff to generate fear to empower the Serpent. World wide chaos ensues. The heroes get their tails whipped until Odin gives Tony access to the same forge that created Thor's hammer, and thus uru super weapons are made to power up 9 Mighty (pictured above). Butts are kicked, shields are broken, Thor dies killing his uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry Miracle, didn't post that to bash your dislike/opinion. I just feel that stating "I never read Fear Itself so I don't know what the story is...but I don't really care for any of these new Mates." seems like a kid saying they don't like carrots just because even though they haven't tried them. I think I know what you're getting at though. You haven't read it, therefore you have no interest. Sorry didn't mean to sound like a dick.

Rheul Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Odin looks a little... flat. Hope he gets some paint or something. I dont much care about the rest but they are cool enough that I'll pick them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I like these (especially the molten Thing and the Spider-man variant) I did not read the story arc but I like visually striking minimates so I’m very excited about these.

battlecat Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 These look great as mates, I just disliked that crossover so much. I'll still pick up the Mighty set for that awesome Odin and a new Iron Man armor though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 ^^ What he said. I haven't read a comic book in over 5 years, but I still love the Marvel U, and these mates are very colorful and will look nice in my collection. However, they will be prioritized down the line behind current preorders and such. Looking forward to seeing the Iron Man from this set too, based on the above art, very cool looking.

stack32 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I really like the Worthy set, Thing in particular. I thought from the first time that design was revealed that it would pop as a minimate. The Mighty set is worthwhile for Odin and probably Iron Man, but I still think Marvel mostly missed a chance to do some interesting designs for the characters and weapons and gave us obvious ones instead.

CaptainChunk Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Ok, after a few recent box sets that failed to interest me at all, these are all must haves. Can't wait to see which other characters from the storyline we see in other(TRU/etc) waves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 They're not hammered-up, so probably unlikely, but I'd love to see "Team Rogers"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm glad to see something that isn't movie based, but these just leave me flat. I'm only really interested in Sin and the Grey Gargoyle, and if we were going to get them I'd rather have them as they normally look. I'm coming to the conclusion that I don't really like when DST tries to do box sets based on current comics. That probably has a lot to do with my disdain for the state of Marvel's comics.
