Welcome back.  Good luck with your new direction.

Classic bag guy of horror.  He looks good to me Luke.

X-Files PalZ, IMO, are great.  These are incredible customs.  Beautiful work.

I welcome increased access to these short packs, but it probably boils down to (retail) buyer interest.

Let Mattel know you want them.  Maybe they will change their mind. 

I still sense a grudge on DCs part after the whole DAVE School thing.  Maybe, I am off base, but the way we were talked to by the DC guys years ago, they seem to be holding a grudge.

I like the new DST stuff.  Spiderman was at my TRU on the last trip I made.  I have not seen the Hulk yet but I think I want it. I am also pretty sure I want the Psylocke.  I hope you guys get that "companion piece" Silver Surfer made.

Ah yes, its coming back to me.  We all have our beginnings.

I blame the old RTM site.  One of their header images for a long time was a Minimate Hulk.  This was just as Marvel Wave one was beginning to hit retail.  I had to have just that one pack...until I fell in love with the overall design and saw waves 2 and 3. 

Yeah, its gotten too much for me.  I paid more than I wanted to for the SSC Green Lantern PFEX but I really liked the design.  I am a Thanos fan, but not at $1200.  I passed on Hulk v Wolverine for same reason and wasn't real crazy about Hulks portrait.  The market is flooded and prices have gone crazy while quality lacks.  I think I have what I want and am prepared to sit out for a while.  My only new piece is the up coming Tweeterhead Wonder Woman.

I believe Kubricks got him into Minimates, but I don't know what got him into Kubricks...

Well crap he is going to be $1200. Too high for me, although it is an amazing statue.

750 ES on EX with both heads.  Regular version, they are calling "collectors version" does not include both heads and has a TBD ES.

I love Starship Troopers because it was the first date my wife and I went on.  She still married me...

I love the dropship.  I have one from Neca with the little APC that comes out of it.  So cool.

Sounds a bit like my ex-wife but prettier.

Mine too mate. 

Yeah, I really want to get (afford) this Thanos, too.  So far guesses seem to be $899 to $1000.  If the ES is high enough, the price might be smaller (I hope).

I'm interested to see what the Xenomorphs end up looking like.

 

 

There is one in the trailer.  Similar to the one in Alien, but a little sleeker with less design, smaller back tubes, smoother features.

Nice stuff.  I will be getting that Psylocke Statue.

So Is this box set a 15th anniversary box set?

I'd vote: Toad

              Green Skirt Marvel Girl

             Professor X (Black suit with a big yellow X on it)

             First Appearance Quicksilver (Green Suit)

I love this scenario. 

Is that Shaw?  Must be in the film as a reminiscent scene of some kind.

RIP Bernie, gone too soon.  He had been sick for some time.  Such a talent.

I agree, Juggernaut is good.  How about a classic Abomination in the beefed up format?  I will always throw in a vote for Bi-Beast, too.

Here's my top choices

One new classic character  =  Doc Samson 

Two never-made classic costumes  =  Speedball / Marvel Girl

One requested update  =  Ghost Rider / Iron Fist / Power man / Abomination

Ugh, Doc Samson.  I know he is a part of my beloved Hulk-verse, but I always secretly wish Hulk would off him for good.

We need a good beefed up, old school comic, Emil Blonsky Abomination.

It always seemed a little too intense for me, so I've avoided it. But Near Dark is a great vampire movie, with a young Paxton.

Near Dark is great and a special memory for me.  I saw a preview for it at this old school art house theater that only show odd stuff and b-movies.  The type of place that showed Pink Floyd's The Wall a lot.  I absolutely had to see it and showed up for the first showing.  Easily my favorite vampire movie and near the top of my favorites list.  Paxton killed (pun intended) that role.  Hell, they all did.

Happy Birthday Matt!
