Sadly, I have no vehicles or playsets, except for that hanglider that came with Catwoman and Stealth Batman . One day I hope to get some, if there are any left that I can afford. I do however, have a Lego beach house that the minimates have keg parties in. In fact I saw BSG's Six leaving through the back door the other night and Robin was out on the balcony smoking. The rumors have been flying.

You really only need Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl, in my opinion (though a Braniac 5 Minimate would nicely round out one of those 2-packs). Obviously, there are so many Legion members that DC Direct/DST could never release enough to complete the group or to satisfy everyone's interests. However, if they were only scheduled to release a few, random JSAers and Titan members, then I say, why not throw in a few, core Legion members, too? Particularly, before you get into the strange redecos like Commie Superman. I know it was just wishful thinking and I am showing my age, because The Legion was very popular during the Giffen/Levitz run in the early 80's...which is when I started collecting comics. Knowing that all these characters will probably never be made in regular action figure size, I just always thought minimates were the perfect form to include all these characters...but I realize it would have irritated the hell out of non-Legion fans.

Very excited about Wasp and Pym, as I said before. I haven't decided whether I'm getting the whole set, though. I never liked that Iron Man armor, and I already have 2 Hulks.

The three things that upset me most: 1. No Black Canary....at least you can buy a C3 Martian Manhunter, but the JLA just isn't complete without her. 2. They teased us with the possibility of having a Titans team... but no Wonder Girl or Beast Boy. 3. I'm a HUGE Legion of Superheroes fan...and not a single one was made. Of course the list goes on and on... no Poison Ivy, Kyle Rayner, Huntress ad nauseum.....

Check this guy out: Hasn't Arkansas suffered enough?

These new waves look great! And even though I'm primarily a comic book fan, with the end of the DC line, I can definitely see myself getting these.

It's kinda hard for me to get excited about anymore Hulk and Iron Man 'mates...however, I definitely want a Wasp and Pym. Are the FA Avengers an upcoming line or a box set? Does anybody know?

Only if Dr. Phil has a brown smudge where his nose should be, and a leash for Oprah to lead him around in.

No No No.

Is there really anything else to say about the Desperately Seeking Susan minimates? It really does have to be the strangest choice for a toy I've ever seen....will we see a Who's That Girl minimate next?

Well, no one will ever agree on the smoking subject so I say we go back to the sculpted boobs subject: At this point, I don't think I want them, it would just make all the females I have already look flat chested. They are block figures after all. I wasn't a big fan of Smart Hulk and Abomination having pecs either.

Champions/Iron Man Crossover, in the 70s He was also on the Avengers team that took on Ghost Rider around #210 or so. These guys are like the Abbot and Costello of the Marvel Universe! *shrugs shoulders* Who knew?

yep cause every day people die from second hand serial killers. It really does confuse me that DST continue to say these are marketed towards kids... I mean Desperately Seeking Susan, I do not know any 7 year olds that even know who Maddona is , let alone this shitty 80s movie. How many kids have seen silence of the lambs, or For a Few Dollars More, Platoon? I think it is time to fess up DST this IS a collectors line. and for what it is worth Chaz...smoking is a messed up habit I lost 2 grandparents due to lung cancer. If you ever need a reason to give up the habit...watch someone in your family deteriorate and die from a bad habit. And the preachfest begins!

The difference is a new Spidey variation means one new mate. New X-men variations means a whole new wave, such as the Astonishing X-men wave (11?). It doesn't have to be. You could put a new Storm w/ Black Panther... and remember they packaged Iron Man w/ Ghost Rider when have those two ever teamed up?

Well, I'd argue that those costumes are not the most popular versions of those characters-- the "classic" looks are. The other three versions of the X-Men that were made- Ultimate, New, and Astonishing- were tied in to what was the current look of the characters at the time, so it made sense to do those. Certainly, there's a market for characters from that era that have never been done, such as Gambit, but the need for new versions of characters we (in some cases) have four Minimates of seems pretty small to me. I'd have to disagree...X-Men fans are just as fanatical as Spider-Man fans and would buy any variations of their fave characters, especially an era as influential as the Jim Lee era. I'd be happy with just a Gambit and Psylocke (since they haven't been made) but my motto is you can never have too many Storms, Jean Greys, or Rogues.

That's a great custom! Hee hee Sorry, buttheadsmate, but I love the Vangelis soundtrack...It's the song that plays on my Myspace page. I still think it's futuristic.

My dream license would be Blade Runner! We could have: Deckard w/ his trench coat and cool gun Roy Batty w/ a dove and a nail through his hand Gaff w/ an origami unicorn and cane Rachel Pris w/the racoon makeup Zhora in her exotic dancer outfit w/snake Zhora in the clear plastic coat she got shot in. Dr. Tyrell Leon Oh and a Voight-Kamph machine to find out who's a replicant! Who else loved this movie! :biggrin:

Yeah, it seems like we get a disproportionate number of smoking Minimates with Starbuck, Kingpin, and Madonna. Where is DST's sense of civic duty? Don't you know that every other kid seeing this is going to say to him/herself: "damn that Madonna Minimate looks cool, maybe I'll try smoking, too!" I suspect that this is the result of back-room deals between DST and RJ Reynolds execs. Get into the Groove(sorry...had to)! Thank God they aren't being politically correct or we'd never see a Buffalo Bill minimate (Of course to the Public Health loonies, smoking is obviously worse than making a "Woman Skinsuit") Seriously though, I think we should all buy this set just to show DC that their decision to end their line was a poor one. Let's make Rosanna Arquette outsell Superman!

Being an old-timer, I remember when this movie came out and EVEN then, I refused to go see it. However, I think it's cool that Madonna has a cigarette. I'm so sick of the anti-smoking freaks, I may buy one just for that!

I'm not into any of the characters in this wave and probably won't be getting them. I'm waiting for Gambit, Black Panther, Psylocke, and Black Widow. I'm happy for the fans that do like the wave's line-up though, and since I'm a late-comer to the whole minimates thing, I'll just use this time to get some of the non-comics lines...like the Silence of the Lambs and such. I've been meaning to get some other liscenses, my collection is so comic book based.

I only started getting minimates a few months ago and spent a lot of money on e-bay getting as many A-list characters that I missed as possible. I was glad for the AF Spidey coming out because I didn't have to dish out extra money for the Series 2 Spidey. He's my best version as well...My other Spidey's were battle-damaged because they just came with the Sandman and Spider-Woman I bought.

Something about ...'looking like a pole'.....if you look like the pole do NOT send me a PM however if you resemble Six... Don't worry, I promise only to post minimate pictures on here. I did get a 9.4 on "Hot or Not" though! Only 9.4 ? I lucked out. If they knew I loved minimates instead of wind surfing or something they would have probably given me a lower score. I'm a nerd that doesn't look nerdy.
