My Target just got 40 of these packs, which I'd buy if I didn't already have Wolvie, but I know a lot of people may not, so if anyone wants one, just sent a PM, and I'll sell you one! On a similar note, these are the first new mates my Targets got in forever, and they got 40 packs! Who's gonna buy that many? Unless you need invisible custom fodder...

So is this a new pack? Iceman/Wolverine? Are there any others?

Oh my it's true!!
It's a straight case of 12 with the same 2 pack. There are no others. Sticker price is $5.99 each. Sorry for the pics, maybe I should stop buying minimates and get a new camera    Thanks for the news deadpool. Guess what we heard months back was no rumor. *wonders why we haven't had new mates* QUOTE (jcastick @ Sep 7 2006, 10:09 PM)  **Begins to quiver with glee** Transparent custom fodder...............*Drools* Tell me about it. I was tempted to get two cases

yep I guess this is part of the 'rolling 2 pack' news that target will always have some minimates news....
Personally I'd love to see something new instead of AA repacking figures we already have at various outlets.... T. -------------------- "Look at you, hacker.

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. |

For all our collective bitching it does look like they are getting the Minimates back out into mass market again. (Speed Racer/SF2 at TRU etc) Which will be a good thing if it takes off.
I don't think single cases of ANYTHING is a particularly smart idea though. Maybe if it was Wolverine and Spider-Man

It's nice to see it will be easier for me to find some clear custom fodder
 although, with the target around here, I probably won't see them until next year

Yeah I'm tired of the rehashes. I also see it as some chains may be moving. Hopefully before End of Year we get something more than just the New Avengers/Astonishing X-Men Waves, but I won't hold my breath. We haven't had new mates in so long, I can't even remember the Wave #'s

Excellent! Now I can make a Minimate version of that Pantone Kubrick set. (All those Twilight Frodos are safe, for now.)

I think this two-pack is as close as we'll get to X-men: The Last Stand mates.
But I do worry about how they'll sell if they're all the same in ever case... -------------------- |

I would love to see more Giant Sized characters re-released. New fanatics to the addiction should have a chance to get their hands on these sweet babies.
