Marvel Minimates continue to bring fan-favorite characters to life with this next assortment of pint-size heroes – based on next year’s smash-hit Ghost Rider! The film will see the big-screen debut of the flame-covered spirit of vengeance in an all-star lineup sure to delight fans of the gritty superhero.
Designed by Art Asylum, these intricately-designed Minimates feature the same style and articulation as past releases along with a new take on some of Marvel’s most popular characters! With two-packs featuring Blackheart and Ghost Rider, Roxanne and The Caretaker, Johnny Blaze and Mephistopheles as well as the limited Johnny Blaze variant, this assortment delivers all the action-packed excitement of the film with each 2” figure! Be on the lookout for these awe-inspiring Minimates this spring! http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/ -------------------- Things you should know:
AA are now owned by DST The DC mates are made by DC Direct, so there are no "licensing issues" The Marvel license cant go above 2" The Ghost Rider and Target Spider-Man waves are "cancelled" The Search Function is good. |

I believe these will not be considered an actual wave. It's a limited release like the I-robot ones.

There are 6 figs plus on chase... sounds like the regular wave to me! T. -------------------- "Look at you, hacker.

Man, this sucks. I hope to God Wave 16 is not a movie wave. This is a terrible decision.

T. [/quote] I think the Ironman Movie is really far off from finished, so I think we'll be safe till wave 17 or 18. Dude, If they don't make a Thor soon (Wave 16) I'm going to quit collecting these things. |

QUOTE (pyrot53 @ Nov 22 2006, 09:51 PM) wow thes seem really cool Yeah, these do seem pretty cool, however I think that most of us would prefer the Marvel "Comic"-line to NOT be interrupted by these "Movie"-waves. I would have preferred them to be special box-sets (like X-Men Classic or FF) apart from the slooooooow moving line. Another small (but rather important)complaint is that we will (once AGAIN) doubtfully even receive a bike for G.R., which makes this series all-the-more pointless!! Thank-goodness for DC and Galactica minis, or MMs would definitely be on the collecting "back-burner"(if not forgotten completely) for me personally. |

Gut feeling & rumor mill hint at next summer... anyone want to take the Thor in 2007 bet with me? T. As much as I appreciate your optomism T., I couldn't make or take any bets on this particular line. I swear, if I see one more "X-centric" series (no offense to X-fans) or re-hashed "variations" release, I am finished(with Marvel). I personally need to see more balance and variation in this line than the previously "biased" waves have produced. Thor, Dr. Strange, Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Namor, Black Panther, etc., etc..... Hell, I don't mind X-Men, but how 'bout some new CHARACTERS: Quicksilver, Sabretooth, Angel, Beast(classic), etc., etc. I know, I'm "preaching-to-the-choir", but F*@K this line is frustrating! At least in the beginning there was a nice mix of characters and titles being represented and a broad horizon of unlimited possibilities, but the last year 1/2-2 years have honestly been pathetic. I realize that they are utilizing the "strike-while-the-iron's-hot" strategy with current titles and themes, but I can't help but feel totally alienated(as I'm quite sure a few others feel)by the complete and utter neglect of essential-staples of the Marvel Universe. I've gone from consistantly purchasing cases to "sets only" to skipping the last two series completly(although I do plan on at least picking-up a Nick Fury, Sentry, and maybe a few others eventually). These "Movie-waves" do nothing to re-kindle my faith or interest. Sorry to be such a "pisser", I am really excited about the DC and Galactica mates though!! |

We know it's far fetched but I think they could still make a box-set or release more versions of his suits.
Hulk Buster, Thor Buster, War Machine, Modern Iron Man, Ultimate Iron Man, Artic Armor, Iron Spidey, etc. Heck they should take a page from the legends line and make Destroyer. -------------------- ==================================================================

These guy sound sweet. Even if they are interrupting a regular line, which I doubt they are. Think of what these will do for minimates popularity. If this movie is a success and everyone wants the toys people are bound to come across minimates. And once you pop the fun don't stop!
