"Even better news is that this is your chance to have an Eva Mendes Minimate! How great is that? Now you can recreate scenes from 2 Fast 2 Furious or Training Day Minimates style!"

I like how they are trying to make this seem like a huge anouncement......If they would have released the Ghost Rider Mates we would have had her already

Damn, I thought the Rocky III set was definitely coming out. No Hogan or 2 inch Mr. T, I guess. . .

I know right? Everything else was pretty much old news but I did gasp slightly when I read that,

I really wanted a Hulk Hogan Mate....

Thoughts, comments?

T.

That color on your stealth IM is 200% better than the regular release!! Can't wait for pics when he is done!!

:ironmanstealth:

It looks like it's supposed to resemble the smybiote spreading out from around him. Like when they draw Venom and Carnage and the symbiote has tendrils hanging off of it all exagerated like so:

Look who I found today at a flea market for a whopping four bucks.

Not neccesarily, he could be capitalizing on his new found fame and practicing for 'Dancing with the Stars'!!

I just got a response for my email:

May be this one:

sideshow has a few of them but it seems from the little bit of digging online so far is that you can order them from Asia directly.

Personally, I don't care about the packaging, since they're custom fodder only. I couldn't care less about Ace of Cakes and I don't watch the show, so Duff isn't a celeb IMO.

I'm not a lazy consumer, I'm just apathetic because the package isn't what I was buying the 'mate for.

Doesn't it upset you even a little bit that you paid 8 bucks for shipping for something that came a looking destroyed like someone didn't care? On the off chance you were not going to open it I bet it'd piss you off. So c'mon help the rest of us out a little bit

So finally got mine yesterday and was very excited up until I realized what my roommate was handing me . A padded envelope ...... My joy quickly turned to mild anger :hulk: . It really looked like someone propped it under a wobbly table to make it level. I see most of you opened yours, but even still for 8 bucks shipping I think I should have the first opportunity to destroy the packaging of whatever I buy. I mean, I wasn't even planning on opening mine but lightened up a bit after playing with all the little accesories . So point being did anyone else get theirs in less than stellar condition and has anyone seen if they have any recourse or are we out of luck? I mean I want order another but not if I am going to have the same problem. Thanks!!!

Depending on how big that Bat copter is, it may be in scale enough to add to the batcave arsenal even if the cockpit doesn't open. Rather than paying a bajillion dollars for the C3 one on Ebay.

Pretty cool news. I wish they would have thrown out a mockup image or something....

When I put my order in, I was # -45. After sending an inquiery e-mail to Charm City cakes, they told me that my order had shipped. So I guess they're getting out there.

Cool thanks! mine was -5 when I ordered so I should get mine soon!

I just downloaded it. I'll watch it tonite and see if the dvd is worth buying. I really didn't like the preview I saw for it, but i will give it a chance.

tell me if they mention if Storm was lil panther's (or so I dubbed him) mother.

Yeah I thought that was weird that the only one they mentioned who their mother is was Cap Jr. and Wasp Jr. I thought it was kind of dumb they did that. Also on Marvel.com they have like a bio or something each of them and none of them mentions who the mom is but that they have all grown up together as siblings.

Just came in the mail.

Great figure, well worth the money.

jealous...... . When you ordered yours was it showing in stock or as backordered like some of us?

I love all of these. you should make a battle damaged iron-man like this.

That looks really cool. Did you make that?

Of course I did.

That's pretty sweet MC!!

I was kind of wondering if they reason they came out with a black and white one was because of the paint showing up underneath when you paint them? But the thing is, when you paint something like an action figure don't you prime it first so you don't have that problem and the paint will adhere better? Just curious...

First of all, I want to say I felt REALLY guilty doing this. No one wants to see someone self destruct, and I'm happy that she's been doing better lately. That said...I just couldn't resist.

Nice, is that last years VMA outfit?

Sweet customs! I managed to snag a complete set of series 4 plus two extra Borg/Picard packs for $30. I made a Wesley Crusher and a Q with my extras. I'm going to have to look for a few more, I guess.

What'd you use or the Q custom, I on't think we talked about mking that one when we were throwing quick custom ideas around?

Geez, I feel like a real douche complaining last weekend of all the rain from the storm that missed us over here. Good luck y'all!!

Finally got enough redshirts for my TNG characters today

Commander Shelby, Captain Jellico , Captain Picard , Commander Riker , Wesley Crusher , Ensign Ro Laren

Even though they are male chest pieces it works, and they look fairly "boob shaped." I may not have to try and Sharpie them in after all!

Since I don't know much about Mockingbird, I'm one of the people that actually prefers Jewel to Mockingbird for this boxset. However, that might change when I find more out about the character.

:biggrin:

Why is is so expensive to get theses on ebay right now?

That 8 @$%in' dollar shipping from AFX is making me not buy a second set of each of these and I really want to.

I'm hoping that they will pop up on scifigenre at some point (which usually has these sets for cheaper than elsewhere, and has cheaper shipping), but I have also been put off by the high shipping costs. It's hard for me to justify paying essentially 20+ dollars per set right now.

Just the other day this guy (see link below) had the Invaders & IM through the Ages sets for a buy it now of 27.99 with 8.40 shipping. Of course, like a moron, I waited until I got home and they were gone.

He has the Civil War and the SDCC sets for 47 something and 8.40 shipping which works out to 3 bucks each for shipping but I already have the Civil War set....
