  1. i Absolutely love these waves, Give me a Inhumans Royal Family(Black Bolt, Medusa,Karnak, Gorgon, Triton, and Crystal especially done Kirby style) and i could die with my life being complete(or until i find some others i would die for like Heralds) I do have a question tho is deadpool gonna be like the pic they show or like his new costume, cause i am hoping for the pic shown don't care for the brown in his new one.

  2. Captain Americas shield was not designed by howard stark, it is a vibranium-adamantium mix, with a titanium coating over it, his original shield was only in the 1st issue tho brought back many of times, the second was the round one with blue and white stripes you can see it with the bucky minimate in most pics, his 3rd is the most famous as it is the one he most commonly used which is 2 red rings and 1 white and a blue circle with a star in the middle

  3. WOW! I just looked at Zoot figs on Ebay out of curiousity. A loose yellow shirt currently going for $61. Buy it nows are $200+!

    I enjoyed the Muppets line, but didn't get into it due to space/display constraints. Is Zoot fairly rare and unique in this price range or are there other, similarly priced Muppets floating aroung out there? (I still kick myself for not buying Super Grover at the Con when I could've...)

    It is strange that Zoot really isn't any rarer than any of the other wave 3 Muppets. However, that wave was, amongst all Muppet waves, the one released with the fewest figures produced (I'm pretty sure--one of the later waves had a low production run, too, but I don't think that it was as low as wave 3). The reason for the high price on Zoot is that, for some reason, each case had, I believe, one regular Zoot and one variant with the red shirt. Thus, the variant was no rarer than the regular version, and each of those Zoots is treated by Muppet collectors as being a difficult to find, one per case figure of a wave that was just difficult to find in the first place.

    Interestingly, the Scooter (who is a more important and well-known Muppet than Zoot by far) can sometimes be found on eBay dirt cheap, even though there are an equal number of wave 3 "Zoots" and Scooters around. The only difference is that there are half as many of a given Zoot figure. Lew Zealand is also cheap and easy to find, whereas, no doubt due to the character's popularity and the quality of the sculpt, the Rowlf in that wave typically sells for very high prices, even though it was just as easy to find as Scooter or Lew Zealand.

    Here are some examples that I just found:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Muppets-ZOOT-Red-Shirt...1QQcmdZViewItem

    The Muppet collecting world is about as strange as its Minimate counterpart. . .and you all thought that 80 dollar aberration for the Iron Man variant was outrageous, but Zoot has sold for these prices consistently, at least since last summer :)

    (note: also the exclusives such as Super Grover, Jim Henson, and the "wedding" Kermit and Piggy are typically very expensive as well, due largely to low supply)

    Actually the Zoot regular figure had a shorter run of i believe a 1000 cause of something with the paint mixes, i remember Ken lily telling us about that when they were 1st being released, cause alot of people couldnt find him, i happened upon one at a sam goody in a run down mall on clearance no less cause they where closing, i remember the people looking at me like i was nuts cause i was jumping around when i seen him, ah the muppets line by palisades was way awesome i just wish they got to do sesame street and fraggle rock like planned, there invader zim line rocks also

  4.

    2. Do you ever look at the customs on these boards to see of ways in the cutting of costs in the making of newer minimates or maybe as a way to do different figures
