Has anyone gotten this Quin jet yet?

Here's my first attempt at taking a picture of the Wolfman with background scenery. I will attempt to add more foliage later.

Great set up Mattallica! The head for Fury is from Patch, correct?

Full faced? Seriously? Was Tobey full faced? What the hell, he is a comic book character. Who cares about the haircut. It's a current look. What do you want him have, a Romita inspired spit curl? I'm looking forward to the movie. I dont care for the costume but like Batman Begins, I'm hoping it's more character driven and majority of the movie is out of the suit. But hey, I'm probably in the minority. Also, should'nt we be having this conversation in the movie thread not the movie mate thread? :biggrin: First, I never mentioned Toby, you did. Second, the reason some of us do not like the haircut is exactly because of what you stated. It makes him look NORMAL, not nerdy. I admit, I do not think the movie looks promising, but that is only my opinion. On the bright side, what does my dumbass know, I also thought casting Heath Ledger for the Dark Knight was a mistake, and looked how that turned out, I was wrong. Trust me, once again, I hope I am wrong and this movie turns out to be amazing or spectacular (comic pun intended), however, I just have a bad feeling it will not be. on a side note Zach, the minimates do look great!

IMO, the only thing Garfield has that Peter Parker has is that he is a twig. Parker should be a little diminutive teenager with a full face, not the banana head Garfield has, nevertheless, Garfield is 6'0 tall. Peter Parker never has been 6'0 TALL!! I think most people have already covered the problems with his haircut.

I wonder if Batman will make an appearence considering Spider-Man is taking on Killer Croc?

Is it just me or do Mary Jane & Gwen need an up-date (J.J. got one).

Unless my eyes deceive me that costume is not classic comic book accurate and by the way looks absolutely hideous.

I really hope this movie will be good, although I hate to say it, but I think it will be one smelly terd.

As long as they make a Kazuya & Heihachi, I will be happy as hell!!!!!

Thanks for the refresher. I was a little out of the loop on the newer story lines. I now have a bigger appreciation for the other figures in the set. However, I must admit the mega Venom is the one I am anticipating the most!

I guess I'll be the one to start this thread considering this is the Box Set I am anticipating the most. Thoughts, ideas?

Personally, I think box sets of Red Ghost & his Super Apes, Frightful Four, or a Blasstar-Ronan-Psycho Man-Annihilus box set would have sold better.

Thanks for the compliment Luke. I cannot wait to add the Shield agents from the custom case I ordered from you. & Patience wookie…patience…it only took my lazy ass 6 months to get that much done. As for the museum feel, to who’s their own, what you may think looks cool, I might think looks ridiculous. If I could make customs like Luke and Rheul, I would, however, if they are going to look like a ten year old tried to customize a mate then forget it that is not my idea of heart or style. However, I have modified quite a few mates (see my thread on the Marvel board), but unfortunately, I have no room to display most of those. In the future, if I can find more room (and time), I would like to pose most of my mates, but that is a project for another day (hopefully after I get through graduate school). As for the Army builders, personally I like collecting those the most. It is all about preference.

I am in the same boat as dj87, Mystery Man, and Rheul. I got the Vallvik because I had no more room on my entertainment center for my Marvel mates. However, I will have to get another one just to house my DC, Universal monsters, MAX, Pirates,Capcom, movie, and Lord of the Rings mates.

Figured I would show a picture of ole Johnny (in the end I used an extra Iron Fist hair piece instead of Cap.

Well, I finally got my Vallvik from IKEA up and took some quick pictures of it, but first I wanted to show you how I changed up my entertainment center. Every figure from the 616 Marvel Universe that has been produced is represented one time on my entertainment center (with army builders in the rear). The rest of the Marvel minimates that have ever been produced including the Marvel Movie mates are on my Vallvik (except for the Gold & Silver Spider-Man Exclusives).

I have yet to find any of these TRU series 2 minimates in Houston yet, has anyone else found these lately?

You sir should be choosing the TRU waves with these excellent choices. On a side note who do I have to sleep with at DST to get a Gladiator made? Which Gladiator? The Imperial Guardsman? Me. The Daredevil villain? Chuck. Why the Imperial Gladiator of course, so get ready to pucker up sweetheart! (p.s. just don't tell my wife)

These are the best sets they could think of? pass....

My shop got in Kitt and the Femme box set today, but no Vendetta ship. Did anyone else's shop get the ship in today or was the release date for this pushed back?

Agreed, no duck feet. However, She-Hulk does seem to usually be wearing small white boots or white high-tops with this get up though, maybe I'll look for a spare Photon (for her white boots) on ebay. The boots should give her a little more height. If you can find em, the Future McFly sneakers might look good. They're a bit bigger but look sporty - might suit Shulk? Thanks for the heads up Nessex and Liney. I went to Ivan's to see the different pictures and agree, Marty's sneakers would be perfect!

There's definitely some scaling issues in Photoshop, but it may be a necessity of the Minimate body that she's a millimeter shorter than Chun-Li (who has a skirt piece) and Felicia (who has a tail). You can't really put in a spacer to give her height without giving her a giant belt or a bulky torso piece. I can't believe I am saying this, but hopefully they throw in some duck feet.
