-Minimator-

She's HEEEEERRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Goth Gril arrived yesterday, and she is fantastic. One of the better exclusives/promos of the last few, and beyond worth the contest. I love this minimate.

Thanks, Mr. Lyga!!

Mine got here just the other day, and I heartily concur! :biggrin:

might the fact that some people have not gotten them have to do with the east coast/ west coast phenomenon. that being marvel minimates arrive first to the west then move to the east the next week?

I thought so too, but my normal stores (In Chicago) haven't gotten them in yet and don't know when they will come in. though at least two have said they did/will order 'em. and didn't some east coasters get them already (I think?)? Yeah I'm itching for my bucky as Cap and Red Skull. Hope its in soon.

I've seen an excellent one

The comic is really good, and yeah they're adding more to the series, with The Long Road Home- but it'll be fresh material, because it won't/wasn't part of the original series, so their extending alot of his past!

So I went down to my local Borders the other day, and found the trade paperback of Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born, and absolutely loved it! The art and script was top-notch, and really stayed true to what I know of the Dark Tower, while at the same time fleshing it out and making it awesomely comic book style. I have now started to get back into the series, since I only ever bothered to read The Gunslinger. So, anyways, I decided to make a discussion thread. And on a minimate related note, I think the Western mates collections will work as excellent customs (and maybe just on their own, since Roland is facially/clothing wise based on Man with No Name) for DT mates.

My loyalty lies with brand, not license. So, if DC made their own not-quite-Minimates, they'd sit on a shelf next to all the other crap they put out that I don't buy.

what he said.

What they said. But, also I don't really follow/like any other block figure line, because none of them have the depth of both character and detail, and actual figure to be equivalent to our mates!

Just got mine yesterday, exactly the SM3 mate I needed! Loved it, thanks LE and Shane (especially for picking up the postage)!

Several questions, when are the Iron Man moviemates and the Nova/Cloak/Dagger/WM wave coming? And the Hulk wave? And what is the wave order? Thanks.

^Absolutely agree! ^PM sent, thanks LE and Shane!

I need/want to remove a sleeve off a minimate head (specifically Batman DCD). It just doesn't budge. How should I go about it w/o damage to the mate or the sleeve?

These look amazing! Really articulated too! Does anyone know how much the MC is and what retailers sell these besides Walmart?

Definitely for box sets the Defenders, for currently out waves 16, 19, or 20, I love me some X-men and Avengers. But when Iron Man and The War Machine/Nova/Cloak wave hits the shelves, that one for sure!

I also can't wait! My local shop confirmed it and are receiving it this coming Wednesday!

True, but my local Borders (and others in the state of IL) have started filling up on 'Racer mates (7.99 for the mates w/car) and die-cast (The AA ones), I think to coincide with the movie. Isn't it possible for DST/AA to make more, especially since (correct me if I'm wrong) the license has yet to expire and is "on hold indefinitely"?

(I hope this isn't thread necro, but I was about to make a new topic and then saw this one,

If anyone still wants to trade I only need the X-3 Jean Grey variant and the Avengers 2 dvd Cap.

BTW I live in Chicago and they had 4 packs in both FYE's (which aren't even a mile apart from one another) I might check another FYE which is about 3 miles from my house tomorrow and see if they have any.

There are FYE's in Chicago?! Where?

Are these on the Midwest/East Coast yet? "Cuz my local shops haven't heard any word on 'em.

True, but I was kind of hoping, what with the new Ultimates 3 coming out and stuff, it could be a viable option. And plus to be honest, when has DST ever not wanted to not reuse certain characters ?

Is it at all possible for more Ultimateverse mates to be released? Or is DST/AA completely finished with 'em? I hope not, 'cuz I really want me some Ultimates, expecially Cap, Nick Fury, and Iron Man. Any thoughts?

What about the previews TaskMaster, US Agent, Zombie Iron Man, and Mutilated Black Panther?

Yes, what about the TM/USAgent?

Seriously?! That's amazing, how much are they?

What about the previews TaskMaster, US Agent, Zombie Iron Man, and Mutilated Black Panther?

Yeah, I was wondering this 2 especially on the TM/USAgent. But also, when are/is the Apocalypse/Angel wave coming out?

What exactly are they exclusive too? I mean are these online to DST's site only or sold at certain retailers or can they be special ordered by your local CBS? Any help would be appreciated (cuz I'm specifically wanting to get the End of Day 1 Pack and upcoming USAgent/Taskmaster).

What about Kensei Takezho (Adam's) power or Wolverines? The ability to heal from ANYTHING (short of a blast in the head, apparently (Kensei), and live forever! Sounds pretty sweet to me, you'd win every fight/battle, and you can collect tons of minimates long in to the future!

Great idea for a topic! When are the SP3 mates comin', its December and the DVD's out?

Quick question, see this Kitty (From another topic) http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/5/11...g&srv=img03

I have the same problem, but instead of the peg being broken off w/a leg its broken off w/an arm. My ? is, is ther some way to REMOVE the peg, and therefore reuse the arm for other mates?
