I'm just adding my vote to the 'bummed that Weapon X doesn't have his Training Helmet' poll. I was hoping for wires coming out of a groovy little pda on his crotch & connecting to his visor. I gotta back Karamazov80 too . . . this is kind of a bland looking set. I was expecting more of a 'Wolverine Costumes through the ages' thing than a 'James Howlet's civilian fashion do's & don'ts' set. Hopefully we WILL se a masked Astonishing, Helmeted Weapon X & AOA Weapon X in the future. yes . . . YES . . . YES! Jim Lee Jean Grey, Black Queen Jean, AOA Jean & Here Comes Tomorrow Jean! (I'm not including Goblin Queen as technically, she's Maddie Pryor & we'll be getting her in the 'Inferno' box set with Mr Sinister & The Punk Storm that we were conned out of from the Secret Wars box set ).

Damn - these look a lot better than i expected. I'm thinking i should have ordered me a set. Might have to hit eBay and see about getting myself a pack. Thanx for the pics

Awesome - i's Love to see a house of M Betsy made based on this design. Your Dark Knight design is pretty awesome too!

I'm pretty stoked to see that Black Widow has kept the sculpted wrist blaster things! I was worried they might get cut to save costs. Can't WAIT for my set to arrive!

It's Optimus Past-His-Prime

I gotta admit - 'tampering' entered my mind too when i saw the final results. I had a hard time believing that Beyonder out ranked Storm, especially on a Toys'R'Us poll where i thought people would be far less likely to recognise an obscure character like Beyonder. I'm pretty happy to see a runner-up set. My ideal set would have been Capt Marvel, Storm, Spider-woman & Molecule Man - so at least i can get 3 out of the 4 i wanted - it's just kind of a bummer that i need to buy 6 'Mates to get 3 that i actually want. And an even bigger bummer that we're gonna have to wait a bit longer for a Mohawk Storm. . .

What does "hard sell" mean? A hard sell is direct, forceful advertising- the traditional advertising model if you will. A soft sell is :

Marvelous News is showing pics of some AWESOME new Hasbro 3 3/4" scale Marvel Universe figures including: Jim Lee Jean Grey X-Force 2 Warpath First Appearance Sunfire and many more. Check em out: http://i.marvelousnews.com/g/index.php?mod...600&start=0

TTF: Hasbro 3 3/4" JIM LEE JEAN GREY!!!! JIM LEE JEAN GREY!!! http://i.marvelousnews.com/g/index.php?mod...600&start=0

WOOT! a new pair of Ironman Hands. Thanx DSTMatt - i promise that i'll remember this next time i'm about to complain like a sulky, indignant fan-boy. You have gone above and beyond. Thanx

Lobsterman - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What have you done? You've given hope to the dead-horse brigade, that's what you've done! Any iota of hope for DC 'Mates can only bring more sorrow! Seriously though: Thanks for the update. Hope you're all enjoying the convention!

I'M MISSING THE CHILLI COOK OFF! I'M MISSING THE CHILLI COOK OFF! X-Factor? Gambit? Deadpool? Angel? It's times like this that i curse living in Oz.

Yeah - she's hot, although, is that Movie Jeans Hair again? And we did get a WarBird figure with the Giant Man Series. She was pretty nicely done.

There are a few decent looking figures there. I'd welcome the updated Havok figure. Shame we are getting 4 re-released characters instead of some more newbies that have yet to get a figure like Polaris. EDIT: that sounds like whinging. I am really glad to possibly be getting Madrox, Havoc, Warpath, White Phoenix of the Crown etc . . . Here's hoping the line actually comes to be & we get to see these in stores soon.

I'm not too thrilled with this set, so i'm not shedding too many tears - but that's a pretty tight practice. They're almost doubling the price. When you include shipping to anywhere outside the states, you end up paying at least 3 times the retail price!

I just wish they would add more details to the T-O arm like they did with GSXM Colossus. Yeah - i thought the T-O arm looked a bit plain & needed some bands on it . . .

'Heeeeeeeeere's Jonny!' Jack looks totally manic - and he's doing that creepy looking up through his eyebrows thing! But i think you REALLY nailed anthony perkins. he looks spot on. So does bela lugosi. i'm always amazed by how much a few simple lines can convey. Great work!

Is there a government sponsored support group for people suffering from a Minimate addiction and have subsequently spent there rent/bill/food money on MiniMates?

Are you reffering to the Secret Invasion Beast? I LOVE that beast - but he's not quite 'X-Factor' accurate. We'd need a 'Human' beast with over-sized hands & feet and the big X body suit.

Eric the Red is awsome. . . but Freeze is PERFECT!!! *Drools* I don't suppose you'll be selling Freeze on eBay? *Drool freezes due to epic coolness of custom minimate* EDIT: Huntress is also very sharp . . . i'd Happily own her too, but Mr .Freeze if my favourite male Batman Villain. Damn he's fine looking!

Wow - another awesome addition. You are truly putting DCD to shame & making us mourn the loss of DC minimates even more. If you ever sell this set on eBay, i think you'll make an absuloute killing (although, i don't think i'd ever be able to part with such an awesome set if i'd made them). Edit: Is anyone reading Blackest Night? My local comic shop has given everyone who pre-ordered Blackest Night #1 a Black Lantern Ring. . . but when i spoke to a friend in another city, he said his LCS didn't give away any rings. Has any body else gotten themselves a BL Ring?

So - just a little bit of someone else's nerdism to help you feel less guilty about your own

Yeah YEAH! I seriouisly hope we get a 90's X-Force set to go along with Beefy Cable!

If it's any consolation, i'm 27 and have bought almost every X-men themed Marvel SuperHero Squad made avaiable so far. I even have them posed around my Marvel Legends BAF Mojo, so it looks like he's comanding an army of X-Babies! Hey - i think i just figured out why i'm single!

He he he - same. looks like we're both suckers for a RedHead It's weird...my favorite character of all-time is a red-head and usually wears green...and my favorite villain of all-time is a red-head and usually IS GREEN!! He he he - i've bought every Phoenix & Every Ivy toy i can find with the exception of the Phoenix Mighty Mugg. That was one ugly Biatch! But even now - i'm still considering picking her up from my LCS.
