Today we have

Mark IV Iron Man and Whiplash

Here ends my series of reviews of the Toys R Us assortment of Iron Man 2 Minimates.

But don't worry, there may be more to come.

http://ajvsblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/iron-...ew-mark-iv.html

Check back soon for more Iron Man goodness.

Yeah. I think that was it.

Thanks North Raider!

I don't mean to sound lazy,

but can anyone tell me what the item number for the Borders Exclusive pack is?

I tried searching for it but I couldn't find it. Maybe I used the wrong keywords or something?

Thanks!

Does anyone know what is so special about the MK 1 Iron Man in this exclusive set?

There's a hidden Tuxedo Tony Stark underneath.

That and it's believed to be more accurate to how it appeared in the first film.

Also it's pretty cool looking too. IMO

Yeah, they still look awful.

How say you?

I was so excited for these. I really was. I realize Minimates are super deformed by nature, but these seem to be suffering from the same issues the Hammer Drones had. They lack any semblance of Minimateness they once had. All that armor makes them far too chunky, and they don't look like Minimates at all.

I can understand what'cha mean Dinobot,

I kind of felt the same way when I got the Mark VI Iron Man because of all the sculpting and the

roundish helmet. But seeing how accurate they made it look, I really don't mind it.

What does somewhat bother me is when it hinders the articulation.

The Halo Minimates look cool and so does the Warthog.

I hope these hit TRU stores.

Today we have

Mark V Iron Man and War Machine

You can read it over at my blog where they'll be pictures and more.

Check back soon for more Iron Man goodness.

Went to Borders today and grabbed a Pepper/Drone pack so my IM2 collection is complete (until the rumored TRU Wave 2 hits)!

Does anybody know a quick and easy way to get the silver off of Tuxedo Tony's legs?

I just swap out the entire lower torso for another one with black legs.

That's good idea, but I noticed that when I went to do that because

I thought I'd never get the boot off the leg with out breaking the leg, that the black color is a bit lighter then the regular black that you usually see on most black minimates. It's more of a really dark dark grey color.

So I just live with it. But if you don't mind the upper body (suit) be different then the bottom (the legs) it'll be just fine.

late to the party... 2 words

freaking. and. awesome.

great job

moc847

Don't worry, no one's late to my parties.

I got two words for ya too.

Thank and You. :biggrin:

That was epic!

I like the special fx and the sound fx too. :biggrin:

I loved that & I love the dragonhawk thingy ....is it 'scale' ....within reason?

Thanks.

See for yourself

Yes they fit in perfectly.

i've actually been doing movies kinda like this for a while now. i cant wait to use the new im2 mates in my next videos

That's cool, I like your Spider-man one.

I filmed a minimate movie about two years ago but never got to finishing it or posting it.

That's really terrific. Good job AJV.

Thanks!

Good Job and a great mix of minimates.

Thank You!

AJV.

I added you to the Fan Film Saturday at http://con-news.com Great job!

Thanks, Nice website.

Haha, nice. My 5yr old was in total awe over it while we watched.

Aww, thanks. :3

Thanks for all the replies and praise guys.:biggrin:

v.good stuff... the end made me laugh, v.pleasant suprise (did recognise the music at the beginning!).

that big flying transport thing is incredible... what is it?

Thanks for watching till the end.

that looks awsme i love the inclsion of spymaster. im actually working on my own ironman 2 minimate adaption im just working on the sets. also where do those dropships and crates come from?

I added him to the movie because I wanted to have an Iron Man villain that wasn't in Iron Man 1 and my movie kind

of takes place after the first movie.

Can't wait to see that.

What were the dropship and containers from??!! Awsome btw.

Just found out what the dropship is, gi joe sigma 6 dragonhawk. Ebays now most sought after item.....

I guess you all liked the Dropship.

Tommyfarr is Correct! It's from GI-Joe Sigma 6, the Dune Buggy,Boat and Hiss Tank are from GI-Joe Sigma 6 too.

I think I mentioned their compatibility with minimates in the compatibility thread.

Epic job AJV! Nice to know the art of Minimate stop-motion isn't dead yet

Yep! It's alive and kickin'!

That was sweet! Very good job on the back to back fight against the "cylons" and I too lol at the ending! Nice job.

BS

That clip was one of the hardest scenes to film because there was so many things to animate at one time.

Impressive. Most impressive!

IM2 looks good, but this movie looks better.

Whoa, How nice of you to say that.

Very nice video. How did you do the stop motion capture if you don't mind me asking?

I don't mind at all,

I use Anasazi Stop Motion Animator, it can be downloaded here for free:

I also us a Logitech 9000 web camera. I used my Mom's camera for the non-stopmotion parts.

Impressive AJV, most impressive.

This is fantastic! I like how you have Tony working on the armor, I think that's actually my favorite part. The background music really brings it all together too!

THat was awesome AJV. We want more! We want more!

Thanks Drgnrbron!

Hi Guys!

I hope this is the right forum to post this.

Anyway, This is my animated Iron Man 2 Against All Odds Trailer.

I started filming after the second Iron Man trailer came out and I just finished it.

It's like my own version of Iron Man 2 but It's my first Iron Man movie with it's own unique story line that's similar to the upcoming movie release.

Hope you all enjoy the show. :biggrin:

Today it's James Rhodes in Mark II Armor and Black Widow

You can read it over at my blog where they'll be pictures and more.

http://ajvsblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/iron-...view-james.html

Check back soon.

Would you mind taking some close up pic of Mark 6 Iron Man and of the red head

(can't remember her name at the moment ).

Ask and ye shall receive!

The "red head"

Also, to kind of answer your other question, AFX debuted the 4-pack at C2E2. I asked the guys at the booth when it would be available online but they said they weren't sure exactly. Probably by the end of the month, they said.

Thanks Magnus!

The Mark VI looks pretty different (in a good way) from the other armors.

It was hard to tell in the pics that first surfaced. I hope to see an Un-Damaged Version of this one in the future.

The rest of the box set look great. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

As for Natasha, I think she looks nice.

Not sure if I want to get this set yet, especially with all the other Iron Man 2 mate I have yet to get.

Hi there!

Here I will be posting my thoughts on the Iron Man 2 Minimates from the Toys R Us assortment,

Comic Shop assortment, and Exclusives I may get.

First Up is Senate Hearing Tony Stark and Mark I Iron Man

You can read it over at my blog where they'll be pictures and more.

http://ajvsblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/iron-...iew-senate.html

More to come!

Check back soon.

I have to say that even though I've never played Halo, those mates look sweet!

Yay pictures! A few things of note:

-Dracula has the right head now! It has fangs, they just didn't come through in the picture.

-The in-tray shot of the IM2 2-pack might contain movie spoilers.

-No visor-up helmet for BD War Machine.

Check out my pics here!

Any pic requests for the exclusives?

Thanks for the pics, Magnus.

Also when did the 4 Pack become available? I thought it was to come out a little while from now,

like after the movie or something.

Is it available online yet? Will it be?

I called my TRU today and when I asked the lady for them, she said all they had was super hero squad and I then gave her the Item #.

Then she put me on hold...

A few minutes later a guy answered and said they had them all! He gave me the names and everything!

I picked up all four packs.

All I can say now is... I gotta get me some Hammer Drones And Justin Hammer.

And the Happy pack...and the Boarder's Exclusive pack...

What have I gotten myself into?

It seems the Black Widow Pack is off the TRU website.

http://www.toysrus.com/search/noResults.jsp?kw=3933195

That's what I get when I to the page where they were it was in my favorites.

I really hope theses hit my local TRU soon.

since I haven't seen them there yet.

I called today and they said the were "sold out" after I gave the item number.

But this is the same TRU where I heard they weren't going to carry them because "they're not a big store"

Yet they have BSG, GB, and Marvel Minimates all round the store. Also it's a big store the was rebuilt and bigger

some time back.

So wait is still on for those of us who want to buy in-store.

Well I went by one of my LCS today and I found the variant Iron Man and AIM Trooper Pack.

These are the first minis from this wave that I've gotten and I think they are Awesome!

Wow! So many awesome entries, it was really hard just to vote for three.

But sadly I didn't finish my custom in time...

I started to work on it but I never got a chance to finish it.

Next time I guess..

Called my local TRU today...they were sold out.

They seem to be flying off the shelfs at my store which is good but bad for me since I didn't get any.

Maybe they'll restock soon.:-)

So many Minimate and so little time...

Gotta catch 'em all!Gotta catch 'em all! XD

Went to my LCS today and I got first pick.

I would've gotten 1 of each but they were 4.99 there, so I got two instead.

I bought John Conner, who looks pretty cool, and the Half Human Terminator which I think looks awesome.

I'll most likely get the others next time I go up there.

On another note, My LCS still hasn't gotten wave 25 yet. Hopefully the get them soon,but not too soon as to kill my wallet.

I was thinking of doing that too, as soon as I get that pack.

Then I can have the Govinator!
