Looks like a custom Kyonko Figma in the back there.

Crap, you're right. He does! WTH!? The cerebro helmet couldn't fit correctly or what? Seriously, that is a dumb move on DST's right there.

Okay. Seeing the Professor X figure makes me want him even more! The really did go to town on him and his hoverchair. XD

Well that's good to know. Hopefully it'll be this new wave here in the next week or two around here...and I'd guess maybe around the rest of the country. The lady told me that they were going to get smaller trucks from now on too and of course it being after Christmas...toy aisles will be crappy looking til at least February (at least around here it usually is).

This wave still uses the same UPC number or something, right? I went to my local TRU to see if I could maybe find out anything about them getting any in and they mentioned they noticed they had Marvel Minimates on order in the computer, but that they had received these ones previously in September, which I mentioned must have been the Fantastic Four wave... Nothing to come this week otherwise, but maybe the next week or one after... *sigh* I wish every wave would somehow end up on the TRU website and make the whole going to the TRU store thing no longer needed.

Is the Arbiter supposed to be so tiny compared to the Elites?

Drove to the TRU near me again today. Nothing new, just the shelves even more trashed then yesterday. Hope I find these, or like the last wave, they appear on the online store. Spidey/Lizard I'll wait for the wave 37 release on, but everyone else is 'DO WANT'. Just debating what last attempt I'll make this next week to go and try again. Tuesday maybe? Seriously, with the holidays the days when new stuff comes in is more difficult to figure out.

Found these today and bought the Warthog set and every 2-pack except for the Reach one. They're decent, though it seems odd for how long Mega Bloks has been doing the HALO stuff that DST is now doing them. Also, am I the only one whom hates how they did the Arbiter's head? The helmet doesn't seem to match up at all with the eyes of the tampo and the head seems to want to not keep the helmet on.

Crap. I saw the new HALO minimates...and bought a number of them. Didn't see the new Marvel stuff though and I really don't want to go back to TRU anytime this next week here... I usually wouldn't have to worry since TRU got new loads in on Fridays, but with the holidays I'm not sure if it is still just Friday or are they getting in more trucks for the next week... I definitely want these guys and don't want to deal with scalper prices on ebay and have been lucky on that outside of the Warpath/Angel wave...

If we're creating an X-Men wishlist like I see a lot of on here... 90s Colossus Forge 90s Banshee (w/ variant classic costume) Pyro Blob (comic) Avalanche Mystique (update) Toad Dazzler (w/ variant 80s outfit) Longshot Spiral (seriously, we have the piece to make her multi-arms now) Mojo 90s X-Factor (since they're the only remaining X-Men related group from the 90s we haven't gotten anything of): Havok Polaris Strong Guy Wolfsbane Multiple Man

Wonder how they'll do Mr. Sinister's cape... Otherwise, awesome news to be getting both him and Nimrod! XD If they make 90s Colossus, Forge, Banshee and BoM members Pyro, Avalanche, Blob, and Toad....my X-Men inner fanboy will be satisfied... (Though if we got 90s X-Factor as well I wouldn't mind...or an updated Mystique..or...or...)

These things seem like they're still in prototype stages like Wave 38's line up and the TRU wave 10 ones kinda do, so maybe Destroyer will get more detailing later on as his figure right now looks more like someone just drew on a grey minimate.

More 90s X-Men love with Omega Red! And of course, what we expected...more AoA mates with Blink, Sabretooth, Morph, and a Holocaust (Nemesis)! Bought for sure. XD If we continue to get more 90s X-Men stuff I'm okay with that since I'd like to at least still see a 90s Colossus somehow....

If it were to be an all-Spidey wave again... I'd like to see any of the following.... Updated Rhino Updated Kingpin Molten Man Morbius Jackal Updated Scarlet Spider (with sculpted hoodie) Plus if we are getting a Green Goblin with glider...a variant with Hobgoblin and his glider, please.

I'm surprised at how my questions are the first answered on this latest Q&A. Probably because my questions go the longest. LOL For 90s Colossus, Forge, and Banshee... Never say never basically, which is fine. Hopefully we at least get 90s Colossus... Must have complete Blue/Gold X-Men teams in some form. The second question on the M.A.X. stuff with females and minorities...very interesting. Given I switched out a number of my M.A.X. figures' heads with spare Minimates heads after getting them... And the last question.. Sounds like 2011 is gonna definitely majorly movie heavy, more so with Cap and Thor, so it's cool to get X-Men stuff while we can now.

I so want that classic Thor. He looks so much better then the original one we got. No where near as bulky.

Never got the Secret Wars minimate set at my TRU, no signs of getting the Captain America or Heroic Age ones around here either... Dang it.

Never saw the Secret Wars set and haven't seen Cap or Heroic Age sets either. Blah.

Man, I still need a regular Ray with Stay Puft here, but it's proving difficult for reasonable prices... Never once saw the normal 2-pack of those two in the local TRU, but found everyone else.

Daredevil's mask look to maybe be new with longer horns on it... Do I detect a red costume update down the line?

I again hope for a 90s Colossus just to complete the 90s X-Men Blue/Gold teams myself... Otherwise Rhino for sure needs a redo along with the others you mentioned.

So redos of the Ultimate X-Men and New X-Men should happen by that logic? Astonishing X-Men being more recent would make sense, but I'd be iffy with the other two myself ever seeing redos (and frankly no hard feelings there)... Otherwise, with Elektra coming in wave 38, other characters that would be updates that haven't been or will be getting one would be... Absorbing Man Daredevil (red costume/yellow costume) Kingpin Gwen Stacy Peter Parker Mary Jane Bruce Banner Leader Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) Chameleon Rhino (Yes, Please!) Spider-Man 2099 J. Jonah Jameson Lady Deathstrike Blade Punisher Emma Frost (Hellfire Club) Silver Sable Sandman Ben Reilly Spidey Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) Spider-Carnage Mystique Firestar Nick Fury Ronin Luke Cage Dark Phoenix Colossus Thunderbird ...Dang that's a lot...if they were to totally redo anything from wave 13 on back...

Shadowland? Seriously? Blah. That should be an idea for a 4-pack at best like much of the major events in Marvel Comics have been in Minimate form lately (Secret Invasion, Dark Reign), not a wave of the regular releases. Hand Ninjas and White Tiger being the only ones that I'd be interested in. Seriously, a better line up in characters if they needed to make new versions of some characters already minimated for this would be... Luke Cage/Elektra Misty Knight/Iron Fist Daredevil/Hand Ninja Daredevil (yellow costume variant)

Never heard of that. I know they were doing the larger 6-inch scale figures, but they were doing the Original Series guys in that format as well...

Honestly, with the present PoC line I wish they had used the opportunity to give us more classic Joes updated like the upcoming Low-Light instead of more more versions of characters we already have. I mentioned this on HISStank and a number of people agreed... PoC Recondo could have been a new Pathfinder... PoC Zartan is clearly very similar to an idea for a less silly Raptor... PoC Snow Job could have been Blizzard... That or more new characters just no more Snake Eyes, Dukes, Cobra Commanders, Destros...
