  1. Minimate nunchaku... First Lego do it in Ninjago, and now Minimates?! Then again, it makes me want Darkstalker's Talbain even more :(

    Still, first RGB then Thundercats. All we need now is TMNT (which could cover original comics, 1980's cartoon, 2003's cartoon and 2012 cartoon, with maybe the odd Usagi Yojimbo character) and it would be just like my childhood all over again.

  2. If only SF 2 had continued I could have gotten a Jon Talbain as well.

    Ahmen brother. Ahmen. Screw Kang; Everyone's minimate collection need a British Kung-Fu Werewolf - with nunchaku!

    A Felicia Day Minimate :swoon:

    I promised my best friend should Felicia ever start flirting with him, I would dive in front of the two of them and take her off his hands so he can stay loyal to his fiance.

    I would love to see the Resident Evil, Darkstalkers and Final Fight series get more releases, and of course another Viewtiful Joe or Mega Man release would be nice.

    Replace "Resident Evil" (never really cared for those games) with Captain Commando or Onimusha and I agree 100%, although SFxTK will have a handful (though Cody and Guy are unlikely :()

  3. QFT, but add in Captain Commando.

    A Captain Commando figure would make me so happy, he, Strider and Morrigan or Jin Saotome were my team in MvC2.

    Cap Com, Strider, Jin and Hayato were some of my favourite characters in MvC2. To me they were a rag tag bunch of characters that would be great as a superhero team. I was thus really disappointed they didn't return in MvC3 and the licence doesn't cover the games they do appear in :(

    Looking at this one remindes me of the "Assist Me" Rap Battle between Wesker and Doom. It is awesome

    Since I know nothing about the game itself, I now consider this 2-pack to forever be based on that awesome rap battle video. :)

    I don't normally care for rap, but I agree. Especially Doom at the end.

  4. Actually, I think it is quite refreshing to know that SOME grown men don't sit around discussing Squirrel Girl. :thumbsup:

    Nothing was said about Rocket Raccoon so fingers crossed for him :D

    I am a little dissapointed we've seen all we can for MvC3 (no Strider or Captain Commando :confused: ) as I'd have loved to see Zero as Mega Man X. But I am hopeful we'll see more Capcom in the future. I'd love to see a proper Darkstalkers wave (especially if the DS4 rumours turn out to be true).

  5. No love for the Guardians of the Galaxy? I'd really like the modern team:

    IMO forget Kang. All minimate collections are incomplete until Rocket Raccoon gets made!

    Captain Britain & MI13 is also up there for me...

    I had not considered this team, but now that you mention it, all I can say is:

    I miss this comic :(

  6. Honestly, I dunno how I feel about this. I know we'd get the obligatory "Superman and Batman fights but Batman pulls out some Bat-Dues Ex Machina that turns Superman into his bitch" scene that is turning me more and more against Batman, yadda yadda yadda "that British guy name Peter aka pawcanada hates Batman and Kang" and so forth. Honestly, I'd rather see some good and interesting movies with DC heroes I like first, i.e. Superman, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Flash before we get a JLA movie. This is what I liked about the Marvel movieverse; everything was developed outside of Avengers and then it all came together.

  7. Well, 47 is X-Men, we've just had Avengers and Spider-Man, soooooooo.....

    Annihilation!

    -Drax/Annihilus

    -Star-Lord/Ronan

    -Rocket Raccoon/Phalax soldier

    -Groot (variant)

    Yeah, I'd buy those.:thumbsup:

    shut-up-and-take-my-money.jpg

    Maybe make 49 a complementary wave so we can get Quasar. How about modern as the regular and classic as the variant.

  8. While I'm happy we finally got Kang, I'm less than pleased he's the only "new" figure in a 4-pack! The other 3 aren't different enough from their wave 43 counterparts, so it really feels like being gouged to have to rebuy them just to get Kang.

    But surely that's a good thing if you don't think Kang is the dog's bollocks. Now I have no need to buy that boxset :D

  9. pawcanada - my initials and country of birth (this does confuse people as I live in England)

    Blue and Red S - First of all; Superman > Batman :P. Now that I have that off my chest, I really grew to like Mon-El during the "New Krypton" storyline and felt the inverted S looked really good. It's a shame the character got sent back to the phantom zone at the end of the story and the costume got a lot of negative feedback. My first minimate is also a "NK Mon-El", although I have hit a few snags which aren't helped by me being a procrastinator.

  10. I actually enjoyed Cabin in the Woods. I felt the overall plotline was an original and refreshing take on the "teens in a life or death situation", the gore was done to a "tasteful" level (i.e. not as over the top as other films do) and even found myself rooting for the "bad guys" on a few occasions. It's a shame the film has received such a mixed opinion.

    Although if Thor was there I bet the film would have been even MORE awesome.

  11. I am certainly considering it (especially for the exclusive Lex minifig), but due to my suvear dislike of Batman I'm more interested in playing as the other DC heroes, i.e. Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern and Aquaman. Unless of course they put in The Gold and Blue, who are IMO WAAAAAAAY more awesome than Batman and deserve about 75% of the books he got in The New 52; hell they should be the star of this game.

    Personal vendetta much?? :blink:

    Yeah a little... I don't get the appeal of Batman personally. I never got the whole "No Powers > Powers" argument and besides, Ted has no powers, is as intelligent as Bruce (if not more) and from what I read actually has a likeable personality.

    I am also a fan of web critic Linkara and he's reviewed quite a few comics where the rest of the DCU is made to look like amateurs to make Batman more awesome by comparison (JLA Act of God springs to mind). Considering as how Kyle Rayner got me into DC and I have developed a huge amount of respect for Superman, seeing both of them portrayed as being so mentally unstable they couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag and everyone else is praising how awesome Batman is because he lacks powers. The book was meant to promote power-less heroes but just seemed like a love letter to Batman as Steel, a powerless hero is killed and Ted and Ray, two other powerless/minimal tech heroes are captured and tortured (Booster is also tortured as well). I don't like it when people try to force me to like something (i.e. I MUST like Batman becasue he is dark and boording and lacks powers but still manages to do more than all the JLA could combined; really pushes the limit on no powers IMO) and I just happen to prefer other DC heroes, so, like I said, seeing Batman curb stomp them (again, the way he does it at times makes it sound like he's activated the God Mode cheat) frustrates me even more. I know thee are some comics where, for example, he's stated he can only stall Superman and never truly beat him (i.e. showing some respect for the man of steel) and I know his current comics get high scores almost all the time suggesting I'd probably enjoy them if I gave them a try, but I just can't. I find the way he's portrayed (i.e. God Batman) to un-appealing. IMO Superman may be powerful but I have seen more stories where he is someone I can relate to as a person; I have yet to see that with Batman.

    As for Booster Gold, his post 52 run was extreamly well done and one of the books I sorely miss in the new 52. The fact Batman has about 10 - 12 books is salt in the wound as I just don't find him awesome.

    But then again I must be a freak as I never Kang to get made as a minimate :P

  12. I am certainly considering it (especially for the exclusive Lex minifig), but due to my suvear dislike of Batman I'm more interested in playing as the other DC heroes, i.e. Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern and Aquaman. Unless of course they put in The Gold and Blue, who are IMO WAAAAAAAY more awesome than Batman and deserve about 75% of the books he got in The New 52; hell they should be the star of this game.

  13. :) Hopefully the Warriors Three will get revisited as well.

    Second :D

    As a fan of Hercules my hope is the Marvel Cineverse will expand into the Greek pantheons. However I suspect this is unlikely to happen, so I hope the next film takes place primarily on Asgard and allows DST to give us the remaining Warriors Three and Heimdall :D

  14. I've personally never got that "if it's sculpted it's not a minimate" opinion. As long as I can take it apart and the figure has the minimate parts, i.e. square block for the chest, cylinder arms (if necessary), rectangle legs (if necessary), T for the waist and the head piece (if necessary) and it is roughly 2 inches tall, it doesn't matter what is added on to bulk it out or give it armour or a unique body or whatever.
