  1. Bah, yeah, I'm gonna have to get that Delorean just for the Jennifer....
  2. Neat. I just bought Swordsman loose, so if the Heralds set has a new Silver Surfer, I'd be mighty pleased about this.
  3. Now that you've mentioned it... I can't not see it.
  4. I am super bummed that there are no plans for Firefly. I would buy those up in a heartbeat. The nine principal cast members plus Serenity would be awesome (two four packs plus Serenity with Wash). They've had some weird movie licenses in the past, so it certainly seemed like Firefly would be in the realm of possibility, but Chuck seemed to shoot that down pretty quickly.
  5. Yup, mine came with feet attached. Unfortunately I tossed the packaging, so I can't say if there was any oddness to the bubble mold. If it helps, his feet are a very very dark brown or black even, so it shouldn't be hard to find a spare mate with black feet to replace your missing ones.
  6. Thanks for the heads up. I just placed my order... hope I get them.
  7. Man, I want a glass case like that to display my collection.
  8. I was late to the Minimate collecting game, so I have yet to get a proper Iceman. The older ones are too expensive. I may get this set just for Iceman, as I have no real need for these costume iterations.
  9. Huge would be an understatement for Star Wars. The characters they could do would be endless. If not Star Wars, I would love to see a Firefly line announced.
  10. I recently rewatched the trilogy and now I wish I had gotten the old back to the future minimates. The four packs for bttf 1&2 are quite expensive. I'll definitely be picking up the 25th anniversary set.
  11. I'm surprised by the large number of X-characters coming out. Although I am a fan of the X-Men Universe, I'd prefer minimates of more current characters. However, I am thrilled that a new Nightcrawler will be released, since I was late to the minimates party and refuse to pay the eBay prices for him. Slightly off topic, but I was able to pick up the 1st Appearance Angel pack for eight dollars from the Diamond booth at NYCC. Also got the Selene variant pack, which was nice as I hadn't picked it up when it was originally released.
  12. thanks so it sounds like it does happen, but occurrences are generally rare. i'll have to try the freezer trick karamazov suggested.
  13. I'm relatively new to Marvel Minimates so I've been going back to pick up the older sets. I put the mask on the Classic Spider-Man's head knowing that it would be difficult to remove. I was able to remove the mask with some struggle, but in the process it peeled off bits of the decal of the Peter Parker face. Is this a common occurrence? Do you just simply avoid putting these masks on? Or is there a method to remove these gingerly. I want to put Shocker's mask on, but I also don't want to damage the face underneath. One compromise I'm considering is putting the masks on spare Minimate heads.
  14. Thanks for that. I had considered doing the exact same thing. It didn't occur to me that the wings part would need to be repainted to match the uniform.
  15. about the uniform colors. in gb2 i only recall the ghostbusters wearing their grey uniforms for like one or two scenes in the middle of the movie. the rest of the time, they're in the standard tan. is that correct? the slime blowers with gray uniforms only match the poster, and nothing that occurred in the movie. thanks for the pics... i've been meaning to order a set.
  16. received mine today. separate mailers for each. the boxes were slightly squished, but none of the parts were broken.
  17. yup got a ship notification last friday... hope to see it soon.
  18. The Modern Mandarin I got was missing a foot. At least I should have a spare black foot somewhere....
  19. i was able to pick up the entire set a few days ago. as luck would have it there was still one hulkbuster pack when i got there. as much as i love getting extra pieces (hands/feet etc.) what is the rationale behind giving an extra pair of normal sized hands/feet for hulk? isn't he already too small in 2" form? why would i want to make him even smaller?
  20. i'd consider buying one. $10 would be an easy sell for me... i'm more hesitant about the $18 price tag at bbts. i would never use this to actually carry around my minimates... as with many other people i have plastic storage bins for that. but i do really like the graphics and could see myself getting one for display purposes. (displaying the carrying case not actually using the carrying case to display minimates.)
  21. Wow, I didn't think there'd be a fourth TRU series. I'm definitely going to get them all except for the GB2 Peter. It was nice that they included him for those who weren't able to get the SDCC exclusive. I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and order two Rays, since there's no word on whether a slime blower Winston will be released....
  22. I was hoping they would give Hulk green flesh armor to make him look bigger... but alas that is not the case.
  23. hmm afx doesn't have much of a minimates selection left. i may have to pass on this and just get it normally from somewhere else with cheaper shipping.
  24. I was wondering about this... do you get a notification of the iron man 4 pack AFTER you order the $35 worth of minimates?
  25. I caught the minimates bug in the past month and will now pick up all the iron man 2 minimates. I also have to go back and pick up some of the iron man 1 mates. I'm glad that they're releasing Mark II, so that I don't need to pay for the wave 21 variant, but the Fwoosh poster is right in that the Mark II doesn't look correct. I'm finding this all very confusing, but the last few comments have helped to clarify what I need to get. I also find it odd that a regular Mark VI hasn't been announced.
