I think these will show up online tomorrow morning. While I'm stuck @ work. : [

Anyone else's Werewolf by Night have 2 left feet?

If anyone has access to an extra Thing/Silver Surfer pack & Airwalker/Firelord pack, I'd gladly take them off your hands.

Thanks to this thread, I had to start watching the 90's FOX X-Men cartoon again earlier this week.

I just now noticed Logan's hair has been scaled back. The "wings" aren't so big.

My ideal wolverine through the ages set would have Team X Wolvie, Albert, Weapon X, and AoA Weapon Omega. That being said I'm very much looking forward to this set, I'm digging ultimate wolverine, it looks great and is a nice update, but the stand out of the set for me is space suit wolverine. Hope we'll get more info on this soon.

I'm really bummed Team X Wolverine lost the poll.

I would gladly buy multiples of a Maverick/Team X Wolverine 2-pack.

Someone needs to make an Inspector Gadget custom using Reed's neck.

I don't think a box set would sell, but the inner circle could be completed by sneaking in a 2-pack here or there.

My sets arrived Saturday. One of my Thing's has 2 right feet & Airwalker his missing the flight stand.

That being said, Torch & Annihulus are my faves in this wave. DST knocked this one out of the park.

I feel like this particular forum community... of all those I frequent, has a habit/problem of over-doing it on polls.

I mean like... did the villain poll really NEED to have like... 50 names on it? We couldn't have narrowed that down to like 5/10 with discussion alone? REALLY?

As it happens... I think Falcon is the clear standout in this discussion... so much so that a poll isn't even needed or warranted. Cap fans might make a case for Winter Soldier. X-Men fans for Banshee. Iron Man or Thor fans for... god knows who...

But I think Falcon is the character with the most wide-spread exposure/appeal... and the clear winner.

Falcon has had a speaking role on Robot Chicken. Have Winter Soldier and Banshee had speaking roles on Robot Chicken? Need I say more?

A few so/so characters have been proposed... if one really WANTS to make a poll... but most of the names I've seen thus far don't even seem like they should be in the running (kinda like the vast majority of the Villains poll)...

While I am an X-Men fan, who would LOVE Banshee or a proper Sunfire, I wouldn't even say they should be in the running. As the most essential X-Man yet to be made SURE, as the most essential HERO... no. Not even close. These two are like C-List X-Men, D-List Marvel Universe on the Whole. The only reason they're so high the X-Men that need to be produced list is... well... we have all the A and B list X-Men already.

(I also want to note: Many seem to forget Sunfire HAS been made, we just don't have a CLASSIC Sunfire. We got Sunfire in his AoA costume, which also doubles as one of his modern 616 costumes. So unlike say Blob, whose only minimate is outside normal canon, we do technically have a comic accurate 616 Sunfire. Albeit, not a classic one.)

I actually liked Battlecat's posts a few back that was a list of characters who've had some recent relevance. Those guys feel like they have stronger chances than some of the classic characters proposed thus far. Pixie, for instance, almost feels like she has similar odds with Banshee, to my inkling... even though Banshee is a far more storied character overall. (Both are on my want list, for the record. lol...)

I have to agree. This poll quickly diverged into a wishlist. There are a lot of characters in this poll I want to see made, but I do think Falcon is the most essential. However, I don't think a hero needs to be A-list material to be essential. I think exposure is what makes a character essential.

Personally, I'd love Stryfe & Silver Samurai, but this isn't a wish list. I think Toad & Blob are the most glaring exclusions. Are they A-list villains? No, but that doesn't make them any less essential.

I would be down for another AoA set in a heartbeat!

Minutes ago I received shipping confirmation for the Minimates. The Heralds set & Fear Itself set are listed as "Wave 14" on the invoice. We shall see what arrives.

I ordered a G.I. JOE Skystriker w/my set Sunday. Yesterday I received a shipping notice for the Skystriker. Todaythe Skystriker arrived. Still no shipping confirmation for the Minimates.

I voted Stryfe, Jackal, & The Hood. I loved The Hood/Madame Masque dynamic & his big hood would be perfect for Cloak.

Nothing yet, but I'm nervous now. I keep checking my email hoping I have a "Ship Confirmation" from TRU.

I became impatient w/BBTS & ordered from Luke. My order shipped the next day. I was pleased to say the least.

Placed my order as well. Fingers crossed TRU.com doesn't cancel my order again.

Picked up a third Sue set for the Moloid. What to do with a third Sue? Complete the team while waiting for the Thing to get back from his intergalactic wrestling stint.

I have to say I've been seeing a lot more quality control issues in the last few releases than I've seen in quite a while. Maybe it's just my luck lately but I got two left suit arms with Reed, messy paint on two different Sues and a broken knee joint on one Sue, stuck paint at the elbows on almost all this FF wave; and then all those too big wrist pegs and the fastball special hand peg not fitting the foot holes in the X-men Outback wave. Not complaining - well, maybe a little what with prices going up - but I figure if no one mentions this stuff Zach won't know about it.

I had to buy an extra Sue/Moloid & She-Hulk/Chun Li set just so I could do this. DST thanks you for my dollars.

I have to be to work in 40 minutes. The rest need to appear.

It's not Sauron unless there is a loincloth included.

Hmmm...I sent an email back on the 7th I believe & have yet to receive a reply. Perhaps I should send another email.

I liked the Clone Saga too. I started reading comics because of the FOX Spider-man Animated Series & the Clone Saga was taking place during that time period. I have a fondness for Scarlet Spider. Well actually I have a fondness for the entire cast. In fact, where is my Jackal Minimate?!

I was able to open both of my sets this weekend. My favorites are definitely McFarlane Venom & Hulk. Hulk is the perfect shade of green. I couldn't be happier.

The only QC problem I had was I could not remove the hands from 1 of the Hulks. They are really stuck on. Also, as others have stated, neither of my Venoms have the white tampo on the hands.

I am also a fan of the hard acrylic stands. DST needs to sell bags of these. I'd use them w/all my existing Minimates if they were made available for purchase.

Since I'm off today, I was hoping these would have popped up online today. I don't feel like driving 2 hours to the nearest TRU on a whim that they might be there.
