If these were switched with Greatest Hits everyone would be happy. Those of us that have the Best Ofs don't have to play the blind bag game and we have recognizable, iconic characters in a new outlet.

I wholeheartedly agree

I know these are supposed to be marketed to the masses, and not towards collectors exclusively but for these to be released in this format because of retailer interest when there are no retailers near me that will probably stock them still stinks :/ 

Like if big chains haven't expressed interest and it's independent retailers than how the heck are we supposed to get our hands on these? I'm not a marketing guy so I mean it may make sense, but as a consumer who wants to buy your product it doesn't really add up to me :/

Is there a list of where they are going to be? I'm pretty thirsty for this. The worst part is I just want a Gwen hair showing hood so I am one step closer to my Magik Graduation costume (even if it is the white version and I prefer red)

 

Can you share the recipe you're planning?

lol if my local Hot Topic or FYE stocks these it wouldn't be so bad, but I highly doubt it when my Walgreens can't even get past 1.5 of the animated series.

Hahaha youbastards' comment had me tearing up ?  

In all seriousness this new set is amazing. The new pieces are great and DST is upping the ante I feel like. Is this CrossBones jacket new? Cause I don't think I've ever seen a chest block that doesn't hinder arm movement! And falcon is incredible! The wings are what I've always wanted for him!

mine has loose joints so any tips on fixing them would be appreciated! All in all though a great figure! 

I also am looking for help on these >.< I have 3 Walgreens still choking on agent Venom and Spidey 2099. 

Dear lord, would it be possible to "scale up" said minimates once you get it down...?

Scarlet Spider wants Whizzer AND Kamala Khan, which I think runs the gamut.

(Not familiar with the phrase it just feels good to be relevant XD)

What about him?

Just that along with whizzer/speed demon and Kamala Khan it could make one heck of a dream wave for me

Kaine Scarlet Spider.......

Should we petition for it to be on Netflix? Haha. With Netflix it'd have the chance of going for more than one season/being a dead pilot. I have no idea why whoever is making this show chose Hulu. Stack32 made a good argument why everything about this show, as much as I'd love it as well, seems to have failure written all over it. 

Hulu is ditching it's free service? Do they really think they can compete with Netflix? Just keep spamming us with ads and make the money you can... And they wonder why people torrent...

Hellions.

Further, they could be done in just two 2-packs.

• One with a male suited body, alt heads for: Empath, Jetstream, Thunderbird II (Warpath). Paired with: Catseye cat form.
  • [parts for: Jestream's rig]
• One with a female suited body, alt heads for: Catseye, Roulette, Tarot. Paired with: updated White Queen.
  • [parts for: Catseye's tail, Roulette's disks, Tarot's cards]

That awesome & complete New Mutants team needs someone to fight... Plus, as shown above, you can pop their heads on the suited bodies to flesh out the team.

I'd be down for the New Mutants/Hellion Squads from the New X-Men

Ha. "Big" MiniMates might be a dead horse, but they'll never stop being beaten. Even when they're just pulp, the ghost of the horse will remain.

Have you guys not seen the Maximates that BinoBoi does on Facebook?

Anything with army builder possibility for me! I think Indy would be a great lisence! Hopefully we could get a jeep or motorcycle or something!

Gosh I really love the series and I love the accessories with Leo! Those clips of Crognard and the Star Trek show were gold! I just can't do blind bags :/ and Marvel mates are already dominating my budget, haha. If there happen to be vehicles that make their way into this line though I would most certainly get them... Haha 

You're right about that. I'd just really like a stick and Elektra as well. Maybe damaged DD, Elektra, Stick, and Karen?

Or instead of Karen. Much rather have everyone else in that 4 pack than Karen.

Whoa! Where you find that bike?

We could make custom Elektras from Silk... JUST KIDDING CAUSE THEYRE GONNA BE SUPER RARE ?

Found these at my TRU anyone need them at cost + shipping or trade for the Walgreens waves?

On the 7th episode. Marathoned all in one day! Could anyone else see 11 playing a young Natasha Romanov in a Black Widow solo film? I think it'd be perfect!

The logic is not so much "How can I get collectors to buy a Spider-Man figure?" as it is "How can we make sure the least popular character don't linger?" Pairing less popular characters with mainstream characters makes pegwarmers less likely across the board. And I think we're more concerned about kids and parents buying all the Spider-Men than we are collectors buying all the Nighthawks..

I definitely wasn't hating. I get it.  Honestly I wouldn't even care or have pointed it out if it wasn't so dang hard for me to find these! 

>.< for me it's just the hassle of trying to find one more 2 pack at cost + shipping from one of the good fellows on here. Or daring to go to the dreaded secondary eBay market.  I mean I actually REALLY like the Spidey designs of this wave and wouldn't mind getting them. it's just the finding them or finding someone who can. 

It sucks but was a good financial strategy on DST's part putting the Squadron and Man-Thing with others so at the very minimum you have to buy 3 packs instead of two.... I mean all the mates are cool especially the Spidey ones but I've had my fill of Thor and Iron man. 

New trailer dropped today it looks great! Holy cow. Reminds me of Meteor Man a little bit but more realistic. 

Definitely Prowlar. I, and I believe someone else here as well, emailed Walgreens asking to put minimates available online to purchase but to no avail. I don't know why they wouldn't. They have no problem putting their other kind of minimates online for purchase...
