  1. Know what would be super cool? If they did an end run around the prohibition on 3" mates for Marvel by just making big pieces for a Hulkbuster Iron Man.

    It would make sense because the HB armor was composed of pieces that attached to the regular-sized modular armor. So the mate could be Modular Armor IM, and instead of a second mate, they could pack in 3" scale Hulkbuster pieces that fit on the 2" mate.

    Yeah, a bit like what they did with the modern cylon 'mates!

  2. BTW I'm giving up on spoiler tags as several have let it out openly in this thread.

    Yeah, I've been trying to not reveal anything outside of a spoiler tag, but I think the news is pretty much out now. I can't believe Captain America was a communist. *sob* :biggrin:

    Kidding aside, I don't think Tony and gang tried to have him killed, nor do I think they were in on some faked-death plan. Based solely on what I've seen in the books, I think Nick Fury was trying to free Cap using Agent 13 and Winter Soldier, be it part of a faked death or something else, however, Crossbone beat him to the punch, with Faust providing the assist via some mental manipulation on the person closest to Cap. We still don't know what Doom and Zola brought to the table yet, do we?

    But at the end of Cap's book, we see him with an eye still open and still hooked up to machines, which doesn't seem like something a reputable hospital would do, especially on such a high profile person. Plus, we have Ms. Marvel, who is Tony's right hand pretty much, saying that Cap isn't dead, but rather has been spun that way while Tony's people try to save his life. Remember, we've seen the news say he was dead, but no doctor announce his death specifically.

    It's a long time comic book rule: no one can ever be truly dead until you've seen their autopsy.

    Apart from Claire Bennet from Heroes, of course...

  3. negatory good buddy way. The licensing contract DST has with Rocky forbids it.

    Bummer...

    Yeah, I'd love to see a 2.5 inch Hulk vs. 2.5 inch Hulkbuster Iron Man. That set would rock!

  4. Yay, im not the only one with this problem. I cant be bothered to take it back to the store cos lex is fine so ill switch peices around with my BD supes.

  5. Wow, these look awesome! I'm definately getting transformaation SM and venom, but im not too sure about sandman. Not posable enough. Hopefully theyll make an entirely sand sandman with a normal mate body, and this is it with all the attachments that come with it (hopefully)

  6. okay, for my birthday i got a whole mess of 'mates, including DC wave 1 supes and lex. Great figures, but one huge, gaping fault. The plastic. Seriously, DCD must be cutting costs, because the plastic is cheap, brittle and weak. I was playing with my supes when he split in 2 because of a broken waist grip. One of the bits in the <> bit was snapped in two, so now supes fall apart as soon as i even move in in the smallest way possible. Im gonna try and get a replacement soon, but it sucks as i payed £8.99 for that pack (i was desperate, i know). Has anyone else had this problem? If i cant get a replacement without buying the pack again ill just get the other supes that comes with braniac 13 in wave 2. Im still pissed.

  7. I would LOVE a Starman/Shade pack.

    Using logic to predict (bad idea really, considering I would never have guessed Sgt. Rock/Blackhawk) I would use the following assumptions:

    One JSA two-pack

    One Superman/Batman inspired two-pack

    One JLA two-pack

    One "huh?" two-pack

    Also, they seem to be avoiding characters used in C3 (apart from Batman - the Robin and Batgirl we're getting are different people)

    Therefore:

    Green Lantern (Alan Scott)/Sand (or GA Sandman)

    Red Hood/Hush

    Black Canary/Black Lightning

    The Cheif/Madame Rouge

    Who's betting that's 0 of 4?

    *edit* what I'd most like would be a Birds of Prey boxed set though - Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress and Lady Blackhawk, possibly with a Shiva thrown in.

    Oh my god, I would KILL for a Red Hood/ Hush 2-pack. Seriously.

    I'd also like a Captain Nazi/ The Hyena pack. Yep, i've read too much under the hood...
