hellpop Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just paged through the new issue of Toyfare at my LCBS, which had quite the little Minimate scoop. Toys R Us has an exclusive Marvel Minimates two pack coming out... Union Jack and Wonder Man! UJ is in his traditional togs and has a removable mask (and looks great) and Wonder Man is in his Safari jacket look (which I believe is painted, not sculpted). Not sure why they paired these two particular characters together, but whatever.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattallica Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 seems like a weird TRU exclusive as mass market buyers won't even know these characters? oh well i know 'em i'll buy 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 That's awesome. Does it give a release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Odd combo... but great! YAY! Can't wait for that Union Jack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 That is great news, and while it's one of the oddest pairing of Minimates ever, it does help fill out the Avengers and Invaders teams. I wonder how they're going to ship these - try to squeeze them in with the next wave released to TRU, or if they're ship them by themselves.

groundhog7s Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 This might actually be 'The Year of the Minimate' as stated before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If someone could get a scan of this up that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Hill Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Wait, does anyone have a comic picture of Wonder Man in this attire? For some reason I can't picture the "safari jacket." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J.V. Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Awesome News! When are these coming out? Pics Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 That is awesome! I can't possibly imagine these selling, but I will buy a pack for sure. Maybe there is a chance for a mini-Nighthawk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Gah! I was just at the comic store and I didn't know this issue was out today. Now I need to go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah, boy! Now you're talkin'! C'mon fellas, let's all lobby for the Nighthawk/Kang 2-pack. Whadoyasay?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 That sounds pretty cool, though it's hard to imagine the safari jacket working well if it's just painted on to the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 *pant* *drool* were there any images (concept art or prototypes) accompanying the article? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah, lets see a scan of this. I really dont mind the Simon we already have but the safari jacket it the WM I grew up on. Cant wait for UJ either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 That sounds pretty cool, though it's hard to imagine the safari jacket working well if it's just painted on to the body. True, it does seem like a sculpted jacket would have been more effective (as well as a hair/sunglasses combo). While I personally prefer his classic green/red, the safari jacket did evoke more of the actor/adventurer personality that the character had. Oh well, Union Jack sounds awesome! Any idea of a release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Union Jack FTW! need pics must see pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
