WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
I'm actually excited about these updates. Except for brown Wolvie, he looks like something else of the same color.
-
We'll never see Sinister, because they'll never be able to figure out how to do his cape.
-
I like the traditional hands more than the ones that usually come on other fingers, since they can hold items better and Minimates are super deformed anyway. Though I do like the hands on Hulkbuster even though he only has four fingers on each hand.
-
If you paid through PayPal you can file a Significantly Not as Described claim and get your money refunded. I don't know if they can get you the variant set, though.

I wish I could get a Drossel, but it's hard to tell if it's a KO on eBay :< If it says that it's a Taiwan edition or something, it's fake. There are also KOs of Kagami as Miku.
Rei Ayanami is up for preorder!

I've looked over these very carefully and used the pages at minimatedatabase.com to compare ... all 4 of these 'mates are new versions. They use old parts but have new paint schemes.
The Spidey looks like the original release but has abs and more details.
Iron Man looks almost exactly like Classic Iron Man, but his eyes on the helmet are black. Plus who knows what's under there ...
Cap looks very similar to older releases, but his face is different.
And Thor uses a mixture of old parts asd has a new face.
So there are no 100% re-uses, all are justified in my book. This might actually be my favorite Spidey ... 1st appearance might beat it out though.
It looks like they just took the bolt face variant helmet and stuck it on the wave 25 Iron Man. Which is what I did when I got that wave XD

I have the Green Goblin, his glider is very compatible with Minimates.

I'll be serious,hard work for me.
Whenever I buy loose Minimates from ebay I always immerse them in warm water & washing-up liquid for an hour or so.....I'm not sure exactly why but I always have. I then let them dry naturally .There are some particular Minimates that always seem 'dirty' ,Nightcrawler always comes to mind as does C3 Alternate Superman & no amount of cleaning will make them white often because of the aging of the white plastic or the paint. Older Minimates (& kubricks) do not not like direct sunlight on their white bits ......much like myself.
The benefit of 'washing' in the above manner results in subtle lubrication of the joints.....don't ask me how but all I know is that breaking a Minimate is in my personal experience almost unknown. The exception to this rule is ........& I again am keeping to my serious stance......Morrie Bench whose black plastic torso is made from a unique piece of semi-synthetic organic amorphous solid shit which breaks by merely looking at it.
When I get loose mates from ANYONE, I take each piece apart and wash them in hot water. I barely lost one piece once, but I got it in the drain.
The one time I had Minimates break is when I tried to take Scarlet Witch's leg apart (I got it new, but I was new and curious and found that the pin doesn't come out if you just try to force it), and playing with a Lilith I got from China (the arm peg came off).

Thanks for the warning.
Just got my Black Rock Shooter figma today, and I picked up Azunyan in case I wanted to sell her later.
Dragon Knight is up for preorder. I'm only preordering Luka and Dead Master though.
-
Just finished Grandia II, LEGO Battles, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. I'm playing Pokemon Heart Gold, Final Fantasy VIII and Kingdom Hearts 2 right now.
-
You wouldn't download a figure, would you? XD
-
Soon my K-ON! Figma group will be complete as I just sent payment out for Azusa and Nodoka will be mine in November. Just keep hoping for a Figma Sawako to complete things.
Do you have Ui?

"Should I stay or should I go?" Ehhh I need to run to the bank, I don't know if I want to miss that just to talk to Chuck. I really have nothing I want to ask or say to him. But I could stay and read the conversation instead of waiting for a transcript to show up.
I think I'll go to the bank instead and wait for the transcript.

There is it's called /toy/ 4chan
Ah, yes. Though there it's all 'Know who needs a Figma?'
Not quite, there are threads on figmas about to be released and figmas that just came out. I just found out recently that the new Haruhi figma comes with a sleeping bag XD
-
Congratulations Jeff!
-
Yeah, it's really too bad that toy companies don't want to make Nazis or even Hitler. They're too afraid of people not wanting to buy their toys anymore while many of us would like to have a Hitler for Captain America to beat up on. It's not like they would be implying that they respect him or anything, since there are films out there that depict him accurately. He's just the most hated man in history right now and it will take a long time for people to get over it.

There are so many things wrong with putting Wolverine in this boxset.
1. We just had one not too long ago.
2. He was packaged with a Hydra agent.
3. Assuming people like to armybuild, people bought multiples with leftover Wolverines.
4. Assuming that the above is true, people would get rid of their excess Wolverines. So everyone that wanted one should have one by now.
In my opinion, that mask looks really stupid. So not only are we getting a figure we don't want, but it's inferior to boot. What a wasted slot. Minimates don't have noses, so why should they represent it even though his mask covers his nose? Other characters' noses are visible under masks in comics yet they're not represented in Minimates. And even though Minimates don't have thumbs, Thanos was a special case because the details on his gauntlet are important. In Wolverine's case, though, his NOSE is not.
X-Force Domino and Fantomex would be better. I'd also prefer not to have another Psylocke. DST can do whatever the hell they want, but this set is a big miss for me.

6" Hard Gay figure, which I've never even seen.
Is that sentence supposed to say that?
You really don't want to know.
Um, thanks NR. I think.
He's a celebrity in Japan. His real name is Masaki Sumitani. Check him out on youtube, he's hilarious. Oh, he's also a pro wrestler.

6" Hard Gay figure, which I've never even seen. But I want it HOOOOOOO. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten a figma even though Billy Herrington has.
Reimu Hakurei figma. I don't like the character that much but the figure is still awesome and my Marisa figma needs her best friend.
Chogokin Miku Hatsune. I was so close to making the preorder a few months back but I didn't have enough. I found out recently that I can still order her, but it has to be before October. What sets apart Chogokins from most figures is that they're made of diecast metal.
-
Awesome! Except like, I'd need at most ten covers for my one Hydra agent. Would anyone here be willing to mail ten to me for like $1?
-
I know there was a user here who posted about using this stuff, but I can't find the post and link it since I'm on my phone. It should be in this subforum, though.

Typos, typos everywhere.

I don't like it. Putting the exclusives to two each and then putting on that stupid exclusive sticker only invites scalpers. If they put all of the packs at three and put the sticker on all of them, it wouldn't be a problem. Hell, I've seen plenty other exclusives for other toylines in TRUs and they sure didn't have only two per case.
You can make the argument that they're selling, but how many end up on eBay?
Marvel Minimates that may never be...

Look how small the tatters are. I bet they couldn't pull it off.
