Well, I don't have much new to add but I will be sad to see you go and would also like to thank you for the countless hours you devoted to your site. You know, it wasn't until I read your reviews that I started to see minimates as more than awesome block figures but true action figures. It was your passionate detailed reviews that really made take a second look at the 'mates I had and want many, many more. I'd say Diamond owes you a BIG check.

The latest DST Radical Confidential has announced the latest 2-pack of marvel zombies, Iron Man & Black Panther! http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/ They sound like they will have cool accesories, but they are printing the masks on now and will have interchangable heads.

Oh wow, he is coming along GREAT! I really love that picture of him holding Spidey. Excellent work on the arms too; I can't wait to see him complete.

Even larger pic if you scroll about halfway down the page. (Also includes the rest of the series) http://www.cooltoyreview.com/story/front/D...ases_107050.asp

Well, I received my grail in the mail today. It wasn't too long of a wait compared to other grails, but I am now a proud owner of the Phoenix variant.

I received the Wizard World Yellow Blank as well today. The thing is, I sent my receipt in less than 2 weeks ago and already got the free 'mate. I hope you guys that are waiting, get yours soon.

Wow, congratulations on the first year! Thank you very much for creating this place and keeping it going.

Cool, that's very creative! You bet you should post this kind of stuff. I like the running pose the best. Well done.

I had forgotten about the Target clearance Trek mates. So I guess Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Gorn were my first ones.

My first were Ultimate Wolverine and Sabertooth.

Wow, we have a winner! That is awesome and a great idea to 'light up' his chest that way. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

Hold the tissues, there is hope! David Eick is sort of denying this report. http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?c...=2&id=41457

Ha, Spock's expression is GREAT! He looks to be my favorite of the new Trek minis so far.

Diamond's site has the second Rocky box set image up. http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/product_d....asp?dir=rocky2

There were some issues I had with it, but overall I liked it. There were also a lot of good laughs. The minimates just can't come soon enough though.

I'll be going with a bunch of friends to the midnoght IMAX screening. I just bought my tickets yesterday, it's going to be great!

Wow, indeed! I love your creative use of the Heavy Assault Batman's wings. Oh, and Terry's face works VERY well for him. GREAT JOB!

Well, since my comic shop never received the X3 wave and claims that they haven't been released yet, my new grail is the Dark Phoenix variant pack. :sad:

Umm..are you sure? :tongue: http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/jl/ep...es/betterworld/ Maybe you were thinking of those goofy red/blue supermen.

Ha, that last one is great! Thos are all fantastic customs though, great job!

I've been waiting for my local shop to get these and X3 in but to no avail. He said he orders all minimates but doesn't know when they'll come in. I'll check again tomorrow and post if I get them. Ah! How much was it? Is it a long drive from where you are? Any way you could pick it up for a fellow boardmember? (if I don't get it tomorrow)

My DC Brainiac has two left arms.

I may have. :tongue: Right, I see. I guess I missed that part, lol.

Excellent, thanks for the link ARE-JAY! Gwen looks fantastic and I'm very happy to see a normal Peter head. That would go great with a suit and tie body. Also, notice that series 17 shows Black Spidey as being normal like the con 2-pack and not big-chested like before.
