Hey Zach, not sure if this has been asked before, but has DST looked into selling these through Gamestop? I've found that action figures sell pretty well there (at the stores by me at least), so to me these seem like a no brainer.

I don't know if we still meet with their buyers, but I'm sure we still have a relationship, and if they were interested they'd be carrying them. Gamestops by me really cut back on toys a few years back, after the big video game toy boom led them to carry toys that had nothing to do with video games. There was a lot of clearance going on. Haven't been in one in ages, though.

And sorry for the bare-bones release, you guys. We're looking into ways to get more stands out to people.

Special stand packs for online retailers?

So how did you guys get those things on the Minimate figure? Did you glue it? And you said it came from the Marvel Universe figure?

Okay, so let's take a look at the Worthy and the Mighty:

Based on those images, I'm hoping we're done with the Mighty and the Worthy. I'd rather have duplicates of the regular versions of the Big Guns (to give away to my nephew or my girlfriend's cousins) instead of those things.

I just got a coupon for $15 off a purchase of $50 at TRU that's good Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. I'm hoping they are stocked with these new Minimates tomorrow morning.

Nothing at my local TRU yet.

Wow, it's been 6 months since we've seen the protos! Are these coming out anytime soon? I really like Colossus and Longshot.

Nice shots Winkerbean! Where do you get that tunnel in the first pic?

I'm all for Power Man, Luke Cage, Carnage, Thunder Bird, Nick Fury, and classic Iron Fist redos. I don't need a Mystique redo now that I found one fairly cheap, haha.

I hope they don't do an M Bison, I'd rather have a new character made, as we already had a pretty decent M Bison.

I agree with you there. The older M. Bison is fine. I'd much rather get a Dhalsim or Blanca since they haven't had any releases yet.

NO E. HONDA?!?!?! Well that's disappointing!

I'd be happy with:

Street Fighter:

Dhalsim

Vega

Balrog

Blanca

Tekken:

Xioayu

Law

Paul

Ogre

p.s. What's up with the interchangeable nicknames from the SFII characters?

Really hoping for the rest of the Classic Street Fighters characters to round out Wave 2 (and hopefully Wave 3).

It would be a shame if we get more Ryus and Chun Lis but they never get around to guys like E. Honda, Blanca, and Dhalsim.

Anyone have any good ideas as to who I can use for a male torso with plain black with muscle designs on it?

Forgot to mention that it's for a shirt so a flesh colored neck piece would be preferable.

Hey Mini_Myte, is that what Van Damme has on under the jacket or did you swap out the torso?

Wait, did they already announce who's in Waves 2 and 3?

Fear Itself is one "look/team" I would not mind at all if DST did not complete. So many other things I would much rather see then Fear Itself.

I second that.

It was actually 20% off of one hundred. I didn't get a MODOK then, but I did hit the minimum.

Not all Minimates were 20% off though. The only one I remember being discounted during that sale was the Knight Rider vehicle and figure set. I picked it up for $7.99, I think. I believe that all the Modok and Thor sets were already sold out by that point anyways.

Ken & Guile are perfect. Sagat looks good as does Zangief. I agree that Zangief should have the bulked arms too with that chest. I still can't stand that King figure. He's one of my favorite Tekken characters but I hate his minimate representation. All the other Tekken characters look ok.

Hey Zach, where did you find that stuff? It looks great!

I see people are not happy with Sagat. I think he turned out fine. He's not overly jacked but he's tall so I don't think he would've looked right if they bulked him up. It sucks that they couldn't go all the way with the tape detail though and only hit the outside of the hand and feet. I might swap his hands out with Shadowland Iron Fist to see how that looks.

I think the problem with King is the chest piece. If it had been a regular bulky chest (like the first bulky Hulk ones) he would have looked great. But he just looks off between the huge chest and the loooooong Leader head.

Edit: Just noticed something else I don't like about King - his kickpads. As a pro wrestler that's wrestled for 10 years and wears kickpads like King, I can tell you that kickpads only go up to below the knee, not above the knee and into the thigh area.

I'm often the first in with the knife but from what I'm seeing from fwoosheyman's pics (thankyou ) I reckon I need to say something positive. My disclaimer is.... I haven't a clue about the licence/game/blah blah .

We're told that each Minimate wave or set is produced to a budget which in the world we live in is good news & might be a factor in the longevity of the line in general....oh shut up bhm get on with it .....

er...anyway....therefore look at King's mask ,I'm assuming (from a comment) that it ain't the ticket for fans of the licence but I'm counting at least four paint apps (maybe more ) which from where I'm looking is incredible . He also gets plenty of attention/budget in many other areas & if anybody is wondering why the others in the wave aren't up to scratch & there are no extras then I hope I may have explained the possible reasons !

You can have all the details and colors in the world but if his head looks like The Leader's, something is wrong, haha. I was hoping that it would be a scutlped 3D head instead of like a slip on mask.

I really hope we end up seeing Blanca, E. Honda, and Dhalsim at some point before this line ends.

Sagat and Ken look great! King looks...too big. I think he should have had a regular torso. His head/mask look too long as well.

I finally scored a MODOK today. It's amazing! Definitely one of my new favorite Minimates.

No LCS around here seems to have ordered this wave so I may head to other cities to pursue She Hulk & friends. Apparently the Felicia/X-23 pack is highly desired from what I can tell but I don't think they'll be as hard to get ahold of as Dormammu/Trish was.

Is that Dormammu/Trish set rare? My local comic shops still have lots of them.

Dies anyone need TRU Series 3 of the Marvel vs. Capcom Minimates? My local TRU just got some in.

Anyone see these in the Central New York area yet?

My friend grabbed a few sets for me when he saw them in Rochester.

AvX box set review

After seeing all the cool accessories I think I might pick up this set instead of passing.
