Man, these are really cool! Not only do we have army builders, Super-unique sculpts, and AHNOLD, but I also see an AK-47, a shotgun, and a minigun (lol, minigun, get it? Ok, I'll shut up now). These are gonna be awesome XD.

Yeah, I'm quite underwhelmed with this wave. I knew something wasn't right when I pulled the pics up and thought "Is that deadpool?" And then to toss random logans into the mix, when there was potential for new characters, really confuses me. But oh well, they can't all be A+ I suppose...

Just as a little sidenote, I'm a relatively new member and I have NEVER had any problem with anybody here on the board. That said, I didn't post 80 times my first day, nor did I trash one of the most active members, nor did I waste anybodies time with pointless questions. But remember everyone, forums are serious bizness, where flexing your epeen is much more important than discussing what we all seem to be here for....MINIMATES! /rant off

This is exactly what I was thinking! As cool as both War Machines are, if the Rhodey was the standard and not the variant I would only have to buy one pack, instead of the whole wave >.<. But eh, I suppose that's the point, to sell more mates (Crafty folks at DST ). Spymaster looks pretty pimp too, and I'm sure I'll be able to put those extra silver pistols to use .

Wow you're not exactly up to date Yes some early DC mates had QC issues, pretty well documented here in past threads. If you ask me the plastic was softer and the paint sometimes glooped when it was wet so cause stuck joints. They got better as time went by but obviously the line got cancelled. IMO a lot of modern minimates suffer from loose knee syndrome as once again the plastics DST are using are getting softer. T. lol thanks. I thought I had read something about it before, but I wasn't entirely sure. I only started collecting around june, so really this is the first time I've had any interest in DC Minimates, even though it may not be totally relevant . It's all good though, I'm still enjoying them, I was just curious if what I got was par for the course, so to speak.

So, I just recently ordered and recieved my first DC Minimates. I have over 60+ marvel mates and most of the street fighter/darkstalker line, so I have opened and handled my fair share, though it probably pales in comparison to some of you . At any rate, I got all of Wave 3 and a Cyborg Superman/Steel 2 pack from stuckakid, since I'm not huge on DC but I do like certain heroes. Here's a list of all the stuff that was wrong with the figures Battle damaged Batman : Left leg knee wobble, possibly broken. The left leg socket for the hip also has a chunk taken out of it, so it falls off whenever moved. I pulled his waist peg out, and the one of the socket pieces had a crack in it. Killer Croc: OK Green Arrow: Left arm falls off when moved, hole is too large Deathstroke: Left leg knee wobble, possibly broken Wonder Woman: OK Aries: OK Superman (Cyborg) His right arm is a left arm Steel: OK So, that makes 4/8 of the DC mates I bought wonky in some manner. Some were minor, but batman in particular really made me upset, he was pretty much the main reason I bought the wave. In all of my minimate purchases prior to this, I got one wobbly knee, and one tony stark with two left arms. So I ask, has anybody else found that the DC mates had more defects than other lines? Or did I just have bad luck (or, good luck with all my marvel heroes ).

Cool, I'm glad someone has had some experience there. The site seemed a little sketch to me at first to some reason .

Has anybody ever ordered anything from these guys? They have a strange selection of Minimates, some particularly hard to find packs such as Cable/Bishop for $7.95. I ordered one so I'll update this page with my results, thanks for the feedback and happy hunting! www.epartyunlimited.com. I just searched minimate....

Yeah this would be cool, however if you were going to buy a box set just for the bases go for the Iron man TTA box set, it comes with 2 of them .

I think something that seperates the punisher box set from the ghost rider line is that the punisher figures look awesome as minimates, regardless of the crappy movie. The Ghost rider Minimates were incredibly lame, with 6 civilian figures, and one OK looking superhero. The Punisher box set trims down the fat, adds some cool "goons", and adds some killer accessories. Hopefully everyone else feels the same way, so they don't get canceled .

Got up to toysrus today and sure enough, success! I'm pretty happy with most of them, I'm only really dissapointed with the regular spider man. Messy paint apps, clashing reds in over 3 places, and his eyes were printed about halfway between the middle and bottom of the mask. Needless to say, I'll always display him as peter parker . At any rate, this is a pretty awesome lineup but not the premium spider man i expected.

Gave my local TRU a call, they looked the item up and said that while not in stock, it is an "active" item, meaning that they will be getting them in stock. Hopefully sometime this week XD.

Oh man, these are epic. And correct me if I'm wrong, but does venom come with 2 different chest pieces as well as 2 sets of hands? Regardless, all these figures look top notch, and the stealth iron man in particular makes me happy that I live 5 minutes away from TRU. That place is hell on black friday, but if I pop in and they have these guys, I'll wait an hour in line, if I have to .

Awww yeah, could be the box set of my dreams. Alyx, Gordon, Combine soldier, Headcrab zombie XD.

I got a free toyfair 2008 minimate in the mail today, since my question got posted. yay!

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Lurch77/Str...r/sf-wave2b.jpg no searching required Btw, all those figures would've been SICK. Could've use sagat/ehonda/vega/dhalsim as well

Mr. sinister shield agent hydra agent Maverick Spider ham

These waves are awesome!

If it makes you feel better, I won't be picking this up either Ant man/Wasp, don't really care for these two* Jack kirby hulk looks sort of ridiculous to me, especially with that forehead Gold iron man? I'll stick with my sweet iron man movie/through the ages versions for now

lol, my ceo tony stark from the box set came with a backwards jointed right arm, unintentional variant ftw .

Well, my logic for aurora/northstar wasnt just that northstar is openly homosexual, but they are members of alpha flight, a canadian supergroup that is a minority when it comes to super hero nationalities. Also, i know i missed the villain, but since my former guesses included Mr. Sinister (ridiculous costume) and Cable, I'm pretty clueless on that guess .

Final guesses for me are Wolverine/Deadpool Northstar/Aurora Nick fury/ Shield agent Variant: WW2 Nick fury
