Oh man! That Colossus chest looks incredible... Storm's billowing cape looks amazing... And Sunfire looks great with the orange flight stand and flame hands! Just got a lot more excited for this wave after seeing those!

so... sometime in September. thanks, Zach! lol. so, about these packaged samples...

If you want pictures they are on page one of this thread.

Zach, any chance we could get a shot of the new teleport base that comes with Nightcrawler? I remember wanting a closer look when the initial pics came out.

Minimate database is the best place. Type in hairpieces. Most of them are there.

My only issue with minimate database is that it only has "extras" in the lists. Like hairpieces only includes the extra hairpieces with sets, but not ones that are already on figures. So Jubilee's hair with the glasses down is on the list but not the hair with the glasses up. Be great to have them all show up on those lists. Marrina looks like what I was looking for, but didn't think of it because she is sitting on my shelf. Luckily I remember the A.F. sets being cheap. Thanks for the suggestions!

Doing some painting and working on a couple things and I've hit a wall putting together a Surge custom. Cannot find a good hair piece for her. Any suggestions anyone has? Painting it isn't an issue more just finding a solid base to start with. Thinking maybe Hope Van-Dyne or trimming the wings and the back of a Morrigan hairpiece?

So he was basically a character created by the show. He never looked that way in the comics 

He was for sure intended to be Changeling, which is what bigvis is saying. Here is Changeling without his helmet on:

And here's animated Morph:

The faces are almost identical. Morph was definitely intended to be the Changeling.

AoA Morph is the one that confuses everything but I'm pretty sure he is intended to be completely separate from animated Morph and Changeling.

I could see a Shi'ar/X-Men wave, maybe:

Fang Wolverine/Gladiator 

Shi'ar Xavier/Corsair

Lilandra/Shi'ar Guard

Deathbird/Shi'ar Guard

Would love that wave! But maybe change one of the guards to Vulcan or Korvus?

green skirt Jean with Mastermind or Toad? Mesmero? Erik the Red?

Either of those would be perfect and be a step closer to getting a complete brotherhood after which I feel like needs to happen after wave 60.

will waves 68 and 69 be released at the same time?

68 is September and 69 is October. That puts 70 in November launching around the Dr. Strange movie.

Stopped by TRU (Rochester, MN) today looking for the Civil War exclusive (no luck) but they did have brand new cases of these out. Anyone still looking for these?

yeah, i am fine with Collosus' size, but I kinda wish he had a little more height. i will probably put the boots from the original Giant Size boxed set on this one to add a bit. 

Probably wouldn't hurt to have him taller. He's supposed to be like 6'6" outside of metal form and grow by a full foot in metal form. He shouldn't be as bulky as Hulk, or Juggs, but he's taller than Juggs when in his metal form.

So in the past has Walgreens put any of their exclusive Mates on their website?

I know they do for Marvel Legends, but every time I've searched for minimates well Walgreens.com shows me something else.

Nope, they've never put them on their website... Also fair warning to others; DO NOT look up Minimates on the Walgreens site... It brings up very, very, VERY bad results. namely products for ladies... enjoyment.

Those giant boots and gauntlets look so silly 

On that cover they sure do, but they looked amazing when drawn by other artists.

Those costumes and heroes are hands down at the top of my list of most wanted mates.

The top part doesn't come off? It looks like it does, Dang it! Although I do love that they add in a female torso into the mix so you can have a guy or a girl person.

On the Aria fig? It doesn't come off. If you are using the figures for customs though the Miranda fig just needs some decals to make a pretty accurate Monet in her current look which is my plan.

Was VERY tempted by the new Black Widow in this line. Her hair makes me think I need it. Don't know why.

But I said NO!

Then visited Walgreens Friday night to see if they had the new X-Men Marvel Legends and noticed that Black Widow Minimate was still down there. Then I noticed it was not Black Widow at all. Someone replaced her and Iron Man with other 'Mates! Her replacement had red hair and freckles (SFvC?) but the Iron Man replacement was just shoddily painted by hand to resemble the colors on the package!

An employee happened to be stocking the aisle next to me so I pointed this out to him. Then I noticed the pack behind it also had creepy hand-painted figures. Then the pack behind it. The pack behind it. And, finally, the pack behind it. FIVE packs all together returned with fake product inside. The employee was super annoyed at the shoddy tape job on the packages, and that they'd been accepted at all. I felt very weird touching these creepy painted things.

People suck sometimes.

I've been seeing some really bizarre stuff with Walgreens mates... About a month ago I stopped in at one of the two Walgreens in town and took a peek. The only mate on the shelf was a Captain America and Hulk Wave 1 set, but the figures inside are clearly a Ultimate Nick Fury from TRU 20 (in Caps spot) and what appears to be a partial TMNT figure with no shell and no paint on the face (in Hulk's spot.) I may try to snap a picture if it's still there next time I check for... well anything besides Wave 1 at my stores.

Then this past week my girlfriend was going to the other Walgreens and knew I was trying to find a Man-Thing (lol just no way for that sentence to not sound odd.) She called me to say there was no Man-Thing but she found a Starlord and Groot and knows I love those 3 characters. I told her to buy it and when she got home I opened the pack to find that one of the spots for Groot's feet was empty, the space for Rocket was also empty, Star-Lord had no blaster, and the one foot I had for Groot had the peg broken off in the bottom of Groot's leg... Gotta think both of those packs had been opened and messed with. I think it's more an issue of people at Walgreen's suck sometimes.

Really hope the fedora on Noir Spidey is removable... Hoping he can be displayed sans jacket and hat or with them. Zalso Squirrel Girl!!!!

If you do find any I'm interested in a Power Princess/Iron Man, and the Man-Thing/Spyder Knight. Most are likely after those since they are the new figs though.

i assume he meant her All-New X-men uniform 

Ahh yeah that one. That makes sense since it's the only one that hasn't been made from that team.  I completely spaced that costume.

Back on topic, what are the chances of people buying a full case selling the extras on here? The only two that interest me at all are Laura and Logan so I probably won't go the full case route for those two.

Wolverine could come with alternate parts for her time with the New X-Men team. She is the only character missing and I doubt we'll ever get that look...

Isn't the Laura from the Marvel v. Capcom set her New X-Men look?

http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=1437&n=X-23

or are you talking about the black and yellow team from Messiah Complex? Doubt we ever see those New X-Men looks. Outside of Prodigy and Laura has anyone from those books been on panel in the last 2 years? That whole Childhood's End story is soooo good though...

So it's the 2nd day of TRU's sdcc special deals & still no BOGO minimates -- at least on the dot com.  Instead, they are offering 20% off those large (think 3ft tall) action figures.  Has anyone here actually found BOGO 'mates in stores?

Stopped by my TRU this morning and still nothing... Then again their Marvel mates consisted entirely of two Nova/Carnage packs, a single Stealth Spidey/Sandman pack, and a lonely Klaue/Hulk pack that's been there probably 8 months. I did see that the Indie wave and Muppets mates are clearance right now at $3.98 though and plenty of those in stock.

Never even saw that wave at mine. It's a bummer as well because I'd like to use the coat from the Wolverine for a Mastermind custom. We have a ton of the TMNT and Indie comic waves as peg warmers and the only Marvel are the CW ones. 

Bah! May have to take a road trip to the twin cities... The TRU that is 6 blocks from my place has so few mates on the shelves, and seemingly no marvel mates ever.
