Wave 1 DC minimates are here!!, Just bought all 4 2-packs and here's a review Options

[highassroller]

Wow, folks, I was lucky enough to nab all 4 of these DC Wave 1 beauties yesterday afternoon from my supplier friend. Here is my quick review of the figures.

Lex Luthor is only a 2 inch minimate YES!
Accessories rock and are plenty
Omac's color is now a translucent blue and he has interchangable hands
Paint apps are great
Frontal box art is bland
Harley comes with a hair peice and a new civilian face
Joker does not come with a hairpeice, only a hat
The plastic seems cheaper. My superman leg snaped in half instantly after purchase
GREAT NEW CUSTOM PARTS!!!!

I also noticed that these are a whole .50 cheaper than Marvel Minimates.

DC wins this round hands down.

And demons continue to haunt us.

Thanks for the update HAS. Can't wait to get mine soon.

Would you say the plastic seems cheaper than the C3 minimates, or just the Marvel ones?

I actually think that they are the same plastic as the target minimates they have been selling. It's basically a softer plastic so be careful when bending the joints, especially those damn knees.

I think the previous C3 plastic was great, never had an issue.

I hope Bane will still come out to be 2.5

[drgnrbrn316]

I never had an issue with the C3 plastic, it just felt cheaper. Truth be told, I haven't had a problem yet with the Target plastic. Only legs that have died by my hands were the BSG Classic Cylons, so at least I destroyed something that I can never replace.

I think your boss would let you go early for this kind of emergency

More snapping legs!?!? damn. I really hoped these would be a step up in quality. It's fine for me but with 9 nieces and nephews collecting and actually playing with minimates I can tell there will be many tears coming soon. The target thing was a mess and I gave up on driving around trying to get replacements for everyone after 3 different nightcrawlers snapped (and a phoenix). We've been waiting for a year for DC (as most of the kids are big justice league fans) and I really hoped it would be worth the wait with an all new level of quality. I really hope that leg snap was a fluke..

That's what it sounds like. HAS needs to tell his boss that there are collectors jonesing for news and he has to jump back on the forums for a few hours..

I guess most of us will know for sure within the next couple of hours.

Ill be picking my set up today
id also like to know if all the packs came in a box like the marvels do
and I mean I know theyre the bubble packs but you know the minimate display boxes? that holds all the packs? thats what I meant

[drgnrbrn316]

Nah, I'd say Wave 2 is probably still in line for a March release.

I got my set today at the LCS. They charged me $7 a pop, though I can't say one way or another if this is standard, below average, above average, etc. Considering its the first minimate set they've had in there for over a year, I'd have probably paid double, especially seeing as it was something new.

I've only opened Batman/OMAC so far, and I'm fairly impressed. Can't post pictures, as I'm at work myself, but I'll give some details as I get my hands on these.

Batman
Paint apps appear to be above par, though the bottom of Batman's blue "shorts" seems a little sloppy. Bats' gloves and cape are part reuses from the old C3 line, and its hard to say about the belt and hairpiece (I think its the hairpiece from the Batcave Bruce Wayne, but I'm not positive. What is new is the mask. Bruce features a happier face under the mask. Also, the Batcuffs seem pretty neat. They're cast from a fairly flexible plastic, so you don't have to worry about snapping any arms off when trying to put them on a figure. I think they'd have been a bit better if the holes were just slightly farther apart though, as they only seem to fit when the captured figure holds their arms straight out in front of them. Overall, I'm really impressed with the figure.

OMAC
Paint apps are superb, with extensive detail in the chest and the red "eye". Turns out OMAC is translucent blue with matching mask and hands. The "mask" is removeable to reveal a blank translucent blue head. It also features a huge fin down the back of the mask. The special hands are pretty interesting, though I think they should have left a little more room in the package for the long straight one, as mine seems to be permanently slightly curved. The legs are something new, with the extended hip area, which doesn't seem to hinder the leg movement as much as I had thought it would. As stated above, OMAC comes with a regular pair of hands. Overall, I'm equally impressed with this figure, though truth be told, I have no knowledge of the character it is based off of.

[The Vox]

Hey Drgnrbrn, did you notice any stiff joints that might break easy?
