Got my 90's X-Men and X-Force sets from Luke's yesterday. Bishop was missing one of his shoulder parts (those yellow rings around the upper arm and torso), and Wolverine's right leg snapped off when I tried to move it. Wolverine isn't a big deal to me, but I would like the have my Bishop be complete... And given how well people get replacement parts from what I read around here... Nothing wrong with my X-Force set...though Deadpool doesn't want to hold his guns with the hands he has.

Do you have Ui? Yep. I sure do. ^_^ She's next to my band set up cheering her big sister on. Got her from Tokyo Hunter, same as Nodoka when she shows up.

Soon my K-ON! Figma group will be complete as I just sent payment out for Azusa and Nodoka will be mine in November. Just keep hoping for a Figma Sawako to complete things.

Ah, yes. Though there it's all 'Know who needs a Figma?'

Yep. On Fwoosh, HISStank, He-Man.org, and TFW2005. I get around. We need a site totally devoted to Figma now!

Parakeet Wolverine is gonna go in the pile of minimate fodder I have once I give the good parts to his earlier incarnation. Seriously, why they felt the mak needed changing let alone though THIS was a good new one is beyond me. I just really wants that Archangel. Another Deadpool and Psylocke is cool too, but like others, kinda wished it was the earlier X-Force team with Domino, Elixir, Wolfsbane, and Vanisher...

Which would hopefully mean that Luke's gonna have them soon as well. XD Man I've been making the mailman busy here these past couple weeks. >_>

Pre-ordered Figma Yoshika Miyafuji from Strike Witches online today for her November release. I'd like to think maybe they'll Figma-tize the other 10 witches of the 501st, but at the same time think on how much that's gonna cost if they do. O_o;;

Dang! You need to custom make like a TON of these bad boys for the rest of us now! XD Seriously, I thought the same idea for the MAX jet too when I saw it, but due to not being good at making custom anything... Just to see how it looks now. Just awesome.

All I found today was a bunch of the T2 Killers and BTTF Deloreans... Bought a Delorean. Is the MAX Jet in a seperate case from the other two or something? The shelf looked full with the two other vehicles suggesting there were no jets or something in the case...unless someone cherry picked them and a worker then had more of the Delorean and Killer bot sets to fill the shelf.

Probably would have helped the Power Girl minimate we got in the DC line rather then what we got instead. >_>

I would be guessing this wave would be coming soon since it's been a little while since the previous TRU wave...at least a month or two. Either way, an updated Fantastic Four at last! XD

New Mutants = Do WANT. Now if they'll give us a 90s Colossus/Forge to complete the 90s teams before moving fully onto AoA and New Mutants/80s X-Men....

Looking at a few sites today I see that the X-Force minimate set is 'In-Stock' in places like BBTS as well as Luke's... However I also notice Luke's site doesn't seem to list the 90s X-Men set anymore. I ordered both sets so I'm wondering what's up with that.

The day they announce Miss Sawako aka 'Sawa-chan' from K-On! to complete the cast in Figma form will be a good day. I know they have to make her at some point since they've made pretty much the entire cast already inlcuding Nodoka and Ui despite being Wonderfest exclusives. Unless they also make Jun. Adult Mikuru for the Haruhi Figmas shows they can make an adult character well, too... ^_^

I'm just wondering with some of the latest minimates we've gotten/getting, has anyone thought of sculpting parts for their minimates? Examples would include from the most recent stuff, Jubilee's hairpiece to have her glasses on it or Bishop having a sculpted handkerchief... Just curious since simple things like that can sometimes help minimates out.

Am I the only one whom is trying to think of a way to fix Jubilee's arms so she has rolled up sleeves like she should have?

The suitcase is a small thing unlike say Gleek for the Wonder Twins from last year, so yeah, if you can get him off Matty, do so. I jumped on him off ebay simply because I can never remember when the new stuff goes up on the site let alone get anything when they go up because of how quickly they sell out. I honestly wonder what next year's exclusive will be...out of worry.

Already got the DCUC exclusive Plastic Man from someone off ebay for a decent price so I don't have to deal with Mattel and its crazy site now. If I still tried to collect MOTUC it might be different, but I gave up on that a LONG time ago. Also have the minimate sets on order at Luke's Toy Store... Only thing left I'd like is the Sgt. Slaughter figure, but...yeah, that's going for insane prices on ebay...

So basically it'll be a black repaint of the Daredevil we've already gotten a few times already? Weak.

I notice there aren't a heck of a lot of SDCC minimates up on ebay surprisngly unlike stuff like the Sgt. Slaughters or Plastic Mans. I just pre-ordered both the X-Force and X-Men SDCC minimates sets from Luke's Toy Store, first time having ordered from him. I'm just wondering, are both sets really expected to ship around the date mentioned? Seems like any site offered the SDCC minimates has a listing of August.

I do wonder about that myself on why they have the Universal Monster sets spread out so far in terms of releases. They seem like something you'd at best spread out in a year, not a few years. Now if it became a Minimate Horror/Monster series kinda like Movie Maniacs back in the day and we got Minimates based off stuff like Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc...

Is it me, or do the Jackal heads on the HALO Minimates look kinda like Beta Ray Bill?

SUNFIRE!!! Woooooooooooooooo!!! Hopefully the final version will be translucent orange/yellow. But DO want. He can even be used as a stand-in for 616 Sunfire. ^_^ Modern X-Force looks interesting. LOVE the Archangel, but...no Wolfsbane? Aw...

I'm happy to see Professor X has his safari outfit on underneath the suit. The only disappointing thing about wave 37 is the Lizard. I just really don't like his face. A sculpted one would have made him 'pop' a bit more if you ask me even if it kinda ruins the whole Minimate look somewhat. As far as the other Marvel stuff shown thus far... The Heroic Age: Pointless. Another Bucky Cap, another modern Thor, another Spider-Man, and a poorly put together Iron Man (seriously, he's got the Iron Man 2 movie helmet on). Pass. Big time. This is probabl;y going to sit on shelves just like the Wolverine: Through the Ages set. Age of Apocalypse: Weapon X, Jean Grey, Apocalypse, and what looks like Dark Beast. Iffy on this. On one hand, I'm happy to see DST doing this and yet in another, it would mean we need a LOT of new versions of characters already given a few Minimates before... At least Dark Beast can be used the the 616 stuff though too. ^_^ The biggest question for me though...NO Blink!? They better be saving her for an unannounced Exiles set or something. >_O Or another... NO Sunfire!? Seriously, how cool would a translucent AoA Sunfire be!?
