I'm thinking we should petition to get all 10 of these figures (although we don't really need another Spider-Woman). Also, am I the only one who would love more clear-colored figures? Apparently, due to the low percentages for "energy" forms of Captain Marvel or the Beyonder. Maybe we could get a box set of just clear-colored characters, such as Astral Projection Dr. Strange and "Energy" Wonder Man.

Finally, a note to anyone yet to vote for their pick. Yes, that Spider-Man does look cool, but do we really need it made for THIS boxset? Knowing DSTs love for Spider-Man, we're bound to get a similar version sooner or later. Why not vote for someone we wouldn't get made otherwise?

I'm curious, how many people would like a Wrecking Crew boxset (assuming, of course, that each character includes their weapon)? This definitely seems like something that continues to get mentioned, and something I'd personally love. As suggested by karamazov, it'd be smart to request something we would otherwise never see and I doubt a Wrecking Crew set would ever be considered under normal circumstances.

Other boxsets I'd love:

Young Avengers-

Wiccan

Patriot

Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)

Hulkling (with those cool wings)

Avengers-

Black Panther

Mockingbird

Yellowjacket

Falcon

Inhumans-

Black Bolt

Medusa

Crystal

Karnak or Gorgon

Villains-

Kang

The Hood

Arnim Zola

Crimson Dynamo

I got mine on Christmas Eve, which made my night (before I had to go to work, haha). Thanks to all involved with this surprise, you're all awesome! Here's a pic of the new jewel in my collection, a Santa Skrull Bullseye!

So I'm still trying not to look at the spoiler thread. But has anyone in the US received their secret mate yet? (Sorry if this has been answered in the spoiler thread, but I don't trust myself to not look at the pictures haha).

I, too, have a golden ticket... er, I mean, won a "secret" mate. Thanks again Shane and Limited Edition!

Thanks Limited Edition. You guys are fantastic!

Hi all,

I'm looking for some figures to be made, and I'd like to see if anyone here would like to help me out. I'm not talented enough to make decent customs myself, but I'd really like some figures of the Dark Horse series The Umbrella Academy. I'd like to negotiate the price individually with anyone interested (I really don't have a lot of money to offer for these, but I hope some of these figures might offer the customizer some satisfaction in completeing). I'm looking for the 6 main members of the Umbrella Academy (Spaceboy, the Kraken, the Rumor, the Seance, 05, and the White Violin).

My computer is being temperamental, so I'll try to upload some pictures later.

Thanks a lot!

I actually got really lucky with these. Shortly after fellow members announced these were coming out (which I never would have known otherwise, considering I've never bought Kubrick before), I found that a UK site called Forbidden Planet had these for pre-order. They had them listed by individual figure, instead of blind boxed, and even had the variants for the same price (which was a little over $8). I figured "why not?" and preordered Charlie, Desmond, and Ben. Then I completely forgot about them.

About two weeks ago, I finally get charged for this order. And then today I get all three figures with only the boxes opened, bag unopened. Long story short, I got both of the Lost variants for about $20 shipped from the UK.

I'm not sure if that website still has all of the Lost Kubrick for sale, but I'd suggest anyone interested in these figures to consider checking it out. Also, thanks again members of this site for sharing their knowledge of collectibles. I would definitely be "Lost" without you guys.

Ha, thats so punny... I'm sorry, I'll stop with these horrible jokes haha.

I ordered mine monday from corner store comics I hope they get here tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I'm guessing you're going to have to wait longer than that. I preordered both new Marvel movie sets from there and still haven't received them. It seems like they haven't received their shipment yet.

Shortly after others on this site received their mates from other sources, I sent CSC an e-mail asking about their status of the figures. They said they were expecting them within a week, but it's been at least 2 now.

I know they can't necessarily be blamed for a late shipment, but it's still left an impression on me. I doubt I'll order from there again, since I would gladly have payed a little more to have these figures by now. Here's hoping I'll be surprised with a package from them within the next week.

Where did you read that UFF and UXM were gonna be ending after Ultimatum? This doesn't really disappoint me, considering both have been steadily going downhill for some time, but I hadn't seen that mentioned before.

Here's hoping Ultimate Avengers ships more regularly than Ultimates ever has.

IGN. Here's a link.

And as for a Black Hulk, I'm betting its going to be Joe Fixit.

That's pretty likely.

Thanks a lot Trekker, I appreciate it. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'm getting pretty anxious to find out what Ultimatum is exactly. I can't really find any connecting threads between the 'March on Ultimatum' titles (though I have a feeling Scarlet Witch will somehow be involved in it, even though she's dead).

neo, I just wanted to comment on a couple things you mentioned. One, I agree that it is an awesome cover to issue 6, though I wish they showed more of an interaction between those three.

Two, I can't remember the issue number, but I remember reading that sometime soon, either Mighty or New Avengers (probably Mighty), was going to be following Fury's group more Pre-SI. I think it mentioned team training or something, which could be really cool. Hopefully this also gives us more of a background on these characters.

Finally, *spoiler* regarding the conversation between Pym and Spider-Woman, this is my guess as to what will happen. In Mighty Avengers, pre-invasion, they showed "Hank" giving the Wasp that new formula that let her also grow instead of just shrink. If I remember correctly, they actually showed that more than once, in at least two different issues. I'm guessing that this was more than just an "enhanced" version of her old powers. Maybe some kinda of Nitro-esque explosion in the future? *end spoiler*

I know I'm going to get a lot of crap about this comment, but honestly, I'm not a fan of the Wasp. Yes, I know she was a founding Avenger, and yes, I'm sure she has some redeeming qualities, but I just don't like her. It seems like she's always screwing with Hank (although I suppose wife-beating would warrant some of that). I guess she just reminds me a little too much of an ex of mine. That being said, I wouldn't mind at all if the Wasp died in some fiery explosion.

Mockingbird started out as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and didn't really have any superpowers. She was an expert at fighting with metal staves and various martial arts, though. She and Hawkeye got married right before the Secret Wars in the early 80's. She and Hawkeye founded the West Coast branch of the Avengers, but she divorced Hawkeye after she was raped by Phantom Rider and Clint didn't believe her. Later in the series she supported him when he was being alienated by the rest of the team. I felt like they were getting back together when she was killed by Mephisto (saving Clint's life, I might add). Hawkeye has always carried some guilt with him where she's concerned.

OOps, You beat me to it, Fo Shizzle. I guess that would've been easier. LOL

Thanks Chazwinski and Fo Shizzle. I love getting Marvel history lessons, haha.

YES! I would absolutely buy any and all Lost minimates. I'd probably buy multiple sets, to pass some along to people interested in the show but who don't know about minimates. Is there anyway to let DST know that there is interest in this license, or do we just cross our fingers and hope for it?

Lol...It seems a lot of people wanted Mockingbird instead of Jewel. Which is funny because I keep hearing that Jessica Jones/Jewel is a fan favorite and no one really gives a darn about Mockingbird...but I don't know anything about Jewel and I would have rather had Mockingbird too.

I've been reading Marvel since shortly after Avengers: Disassembled, so I don't know anything about Mockingbird (other than what's been mentioned in Secret Invasion). It looks like she was Hawkeye's love interest, but what made her an Avenger? More specifically, when was she an Avenger, does she have any powers, how did she die, etc. If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

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.

This seems like it's going to be a great set. I love how we're getting a decent amount of extras now, like the 4 extra Skrull heads. Also, that Wolverine looks amazing. I can't wait to have one!

Regarding the Invaders boxset, I'm curious about something. My FA Cap mask is painted unusually, with the face painted much closer to one ear than the other. Has anyone else had this problem, or is it only me? I'll try to post a pic soon, to better illustrate my problem.

Come ON! Someone out there has to have a camera and a BUCKY! PLEASE give us PICS!

Sorry guys, I didn't know people were still waiting for some pictures.

Let me know if anyone wants some pictures of anyone else from the SDCC sets.

arg, cornflakes, u used some pieces i was using, i'm just waiting on my camera cord to show up so i can post mine, lol, i'll have it up soon.

Hahah, sorry to hear that minimateespo. It was one of the few civilian-type bodies I had and thought it worked well with what I was trying to do.

I'm really interested to see what some of these Challenges are going to be. Here's my partner:

I'm calling him Ruin (at least for now, haha).

Right now, basically everything written by Matt Fraction. Also, the current Captain America arc is pretty crazy. It's ending pretty soon, though, and I'm really curious as to where it'll be heading.

Hey guys. The store I work at has a couple of the Marvel Muggs in stock, I'm guessing it's wave 1 figures. I definitely saw Venom, and I'm pretty sure I saw Spider-Man (and there was another 2 different figures, but I didn't see what they were). If anyone is looking for any specific Marvel figures, send me a PM and I'll check what's in stock.

Who was the dude in red at the end of the team montage? Was that supposed to be Deadpool. Where's the mask

I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be Deadpool. Maybe they'll make him get facially scarred in the movie?

I had no idea Emma Frost (if that's who that was) was going to be in this movie. Here's hoping they get an official trailer up sometime soon, parts of that version were hard to make out.

Thanks for the link!

That light up Iron Man is amazing. Well done!

For those that couldn't go to SDCC, my friend is there and was able to get some extra colored minimates from DST. I'll donate a set to the Multiverse admin and they can use them as a prize in an upcoming contest, or figure out some other way to distribute them.

Wow, that's extremely nice. I'm genuinely glad I found this website, so far everyone is super helpful. I mean, hulk197 could easily sell these figures on ebay and make a pretty penny, but instead he chooses to donate it to the board. That's class.
