Rad

That could simply be an error on my part. I'm hoping that's not the case though.

Just looked at the Database and am pretty much convinced the mistake is mine. I think I've used the hairpiece from The wave 27 variant WWII Captain America. ARSE!

We'll have to get that fixed.

FYI, Mattel is re-releasing several JLU sets for "Black Friday." In case you missed them earlier. And then, y'know, felt regret. That kind of regret that just nibbles away until it becomes an unbearable obsession to get what it was that you foolishly missed out on the first time around. That kind of thing.

Shazam family... Doom Patrol... Must Reeeeeezeeeeeeest!!!!

Good article and nice collection you got there Rad!

Cheers buddy, I only really posted it up so you guys could all see minimates are getting a bit more attention.

After Reading that I see we have more in common Rad

I'm intrigued dude, do tell...

A very fun article to read. I like the part about toy karma, so true. Sad about the JLU figures, those Parademon 2-packs coming out look super awesome.

Remember to shoot Rad an e-mail with any new JLU figure news, so he doesn't miss anything

*gives pickle an enabler's high five*

F*ckers!!!

Cheers Guys.

Rheul, it's all good mate. We're stopping at the one so the toy room stays

Cheer mate. Nice to see you're about.

Yeah I just got PM'ed that link. Apologies Luke, didn't mean to steal your thunder mate.

Like I said in the PM, we can't be everywhere and inevitably there are threads we completely miss.

Cheers guys. Whaddya reckon to that cardboard cosplay?

You may (or may not) want to give this linky a look.

A friend of mine writes for a website called geek planet online and did a little article about my minimate collection

A friend of hers then posted this link which I think you'll all want to see...

It's almost Minimate Cosplay, except the ladiez haz the boobiez. Still fab though.

Probably best to have a search in the custom forums.

Bad news then as Disney are really getting into the Marvel stuff they have picked up the distribution for IM3 and The Avengers from Paramount.

It could be the start of Disney trying to get everything in one place.

Not really, I'd already ditched all the Avengers books apart from Nu New. The X-books aren't lighting my fire anymore with the X-ception of X-Factor. But I've been picking up more and more DC books since Blackest Night.

Love the Marvel Universe but I really resent the Disneyfication of it. (apologies for off-topicness).

I know I'm in the minority, but I really don't like these variants. Tron has nothing to do with the Marvel universe. It bothers me that Disney is using Marvel to cross market the new film like this. Don't get me wrong, I love the film, but this variant campaign is leaving a nasty taste in my mouth. I'm even considering ditching the few Marvel books I still buy because of it. Kneejerk reaction for sure, but the only way I can vote is with my wallet.

Meggan Kurt and (I'm the) Juggernaut (,Bitch) are all superb, but that Cap B could have been a lot better.

i promise ill try to restrain from eating any board members brains

You'd starve while looking for 'em!

Welcome back dude. I'm glad you're mostly okay and getting better. Stick at that physiotherapy.

Sadly after starting this thread Groundhog7s found himself banned from this site for sucking up to the wrong moderator.

Let this be a lesson to you all.

Bwah hah hah hah!

Congratulations dude. You've got such a handful to look forward to!

Speaking as a member I won't bother going to look at the price guide if someone states they're using it for prices.

Nor will I bother reading the rest of the post, regardless of what's for sale.

Our trading rules state that prices should be posted. If a member wishes to use the price guide prices that's fine, but they need to put those prices in the post.

Excellent work as always mate.

Props on getting published too!

Hail Ivan!!!

Great work mate!

Those box set figures look like near straight re-releases. . .

Wave 24 Spider-Man & Venom ,Wave 28 Deadpool & Wolverine .

Exciting

To be fair BHM, there's a lot of people missed out on Deadpool in wave 28. I'm really pleased to see them getting another chance at grabbing what is at present a stupidly overpriced minimate.

I will be very disappointed if Marvel Minimates disappear from the speciality market in favour of Toys r Us though.

Man, I'm ridiculously excited for that Cannonball and Shatterstar. Like way more excited than anyone should ever be excited for Shatterstar, unless you're Rob Liefeld.

Or Rictor!

I don't think the 2.5 inchers played a role in the lack of success of those Minimates. They only stuck one in per wave, if that.

Just to be anal, waves 3 & 7 had 2 each in them.

I think the only thing wrong with DC mates was that they were controlled by DC Direct. If DST had handled the line, I'm convinced the line would still be going strong.

And we'd have already had Superman Blue, Superman Red, Superman Reborn, The Batman of Zurr En Ah, Gotham by Gaslight Batman, and The Composite Superman/Batman.

Speaking of retailers, the recent announcement of a Disney Store exclusive is the nail in the coffin. Selling new product to a company and brand that virtually nobody has heard of?? Sounds pretty desperate to me.

Ivan, you're a very naughty boy!

Honestly when it ends I'll be happy. I love Minimates more than anything, especially the Marvel ones but I have them all, and at some point it has to come to an end. I won't be sad but happy because as far as I'm concerned this is, was and always will be the greatest line of figures ever. It's a great ride and when it ends it ends.

Sums up exactly how I feel about it.

Q: If the retailer never comes through, do we have a section here on the MV where we can list "substandard" retailers (it seems bad form, in a way, but I'd also hate for someone else to get screwed AFTER I already have "poor experience" history with the same retailer)!

It's been discussed in the past but is too open to abuse for us to put such a list into practice.

I'm just doing pics for the wave 33 Minimates Central review, and the packaging very definitely says Sentinel/Rachel Summers (for the variant) and Sentinel/Rachel Grey for the regular. There's no mention of Marvel Girl or Phoenix (as a character) on the packaging.

The retailer is totally in the wrong. Have at him!

Welcome to the 'verse Robbie.
