man, i have no earthly idea what movie that quote is from.... oh, yeah: welcome aboard, cramer!

very, very cool! good for you, man. i love allred's artwork... all those thick, clean lines and his understated cartoon-ish style makes for some killer images. i was a big fan of his run (with peter milligan) on "x-statix".

just ordered that dark avengers set through TRU this morning. can't wait to check that baby out up close!

hey, gang. with the recent news of yellow jacket, goliath, black bolt, captain britain, captain marvel, and shadowcat finally getting the 'mate treatment soon, i was just wondering what characters are still left on your own personal "holy grail" of minimates that you desperately want to see get made? and to narrow it down and make it more interesting, let's say that you could only pick twelve more 'mates, period... and then the line is done. (perish the thought, of course--- but just for the sake of this thread.... ) here's MY top 12: vulture the lizard doc sampson black knight star fox tigra kang banshee sunfire old school nova mole man machine man

This would make me so very, very happy. Such classic renditions of great characters have been overlooked for far too long. Liefeld Sucks edit: fixed link This one's my favorite from that site. holy shit! i just about soiled myself when i saw this pic (and read the attached comments). work those nipples, indeed!

well, i guess i haven't missed out on this set after all--- it's just not available for sale yet. damn, between this set and the bullseye/moonstone 2-pack TRU is really starting to be a huge pain in my hairy ass... sweet!

Ha!Easy,that's Empire Strikes Back,Luke Skywalker says that to Darth Vader after Vader reveals that he is Anakin Skywalker,Luke's father. Anyways,thanks guys. Kara,I'm just outside of Gainesville,I think about an hour or two from Pensacola. welcome aboard, man! my family used to vacation every winter in ormond beach. i remember me and my brother always getting so excited when we saw all those palm trees.

that mohawk version of storm would have been sweet, no doubt about it. instead we get another damn spidey... bleh. oh, well! question: what's the deal with the TRU dark avengers exclusive box set, though? are they not going to offer a pre-order on that set as well? or has it already been offered?

good call on that new iron man 'mate, bob. he DOES look kinda off somehow... and you are dead right about the face details on the new cable 'mate, too: his features look way too crowded and over-rendered. still, though: yellow jacket, goliath, captain britain, captain marvel, black bolt--- holy crap-ola! what an amazing list of characters offered in just two waves. now if they get around to doing doc sampson, old school nova, constrictor, lady viper, modern thor, bronze-age wasp, mole man, black knight, star fox, tigra, the lizard, and the vulture in the next few waves i will literally be on cloud nine.

HOT DAMN! yellow jacket, goliath, captain britain, black bolt, AND captain marvel... man, it seems almost too good to be true. awesome, awesome choices. hell, there isn't one stinker in the whole bunch, honestly. nice, nice, nice.

now tell us how you REALLY feel, brother!

oh, god! just the thought of the rest of the classic golden age jsa gettin' the 'mate treatment. gasp! the pain... it hurts, it hurts. {sob!}

man, i haven't had any luck finding the bullseye/moonstone 2-pack, either.

good post, man. hell, i know what you mean... it drives me nuts thinkin' about all the cool dc characters that still haven't gotten the 'mate treatment yet. i-yi-yi!

hey, good call! those parts would totally work. jack of hearts was also an avenger at one time, too... maybe even more than once. In short, he was one of those minor characters with a cool costume, but who never really caught on despite chance after chance. Jack's got one of those multiple retconned origns that's hard to sum up, but I'll give it a go: Jack may or may not have been an alien human hybrid, but in any case, his father was a scientist, Jack got caught in one of his experiments, turned have his body black and gave him energy powers that Jack could not completely control. So a he got a computer brain implant, and a suit of containment armor, niether of which ever completely helped. Jack did a stint as Iron Man's sidekick, before deciding he was too dangerous to stay on earth and wandered the universe having adventures. He saved some worlds, buddied with the Surfer, spent some time as the Stranger's lab rat, and all the other things that semi-cosmic tyes without a book of their own do. Eventually he wandered his way back to Earth and assisted the Avengers on a case. As they were want to do in the good ol' days, they invited Jack to join after he proved moderately useful. Unfortunatly Jack's powers continued to grow unstable, and he eventually went boom in near space. Wanda zombiefied him and brought him back to the mansion to explode again. So to keep this on topic, you could have Jack, Moondragon, Quasar, and Starfox as cosmic former Avengers hey, very nice re-cap! i guess i knew even less about that character than i had thought.... he DOES have a very cool costume, though. and, yeah: a starfox minimate would also be pretty sweet, too (i would love to have a full line-up of early to mid-80's avengers--- including starfox and the black knight).

SWEET!!!!

hey, good call! those parts would totally work. jack of hearts was also an avenger at one time, too... maybe even more than once.

hey, paul... have you tried putting the big ol' elf shoes from the first gobby on that new version of green goblin yet? it actually looks great! and the paint on those booties actually matches up just fine with the new version, too. and welcome aboard minimate multiverse, by the way!!! i'm a newbie here myself... and it's a really cool site (as you already know).

black bolt and captain marvel??? hot damn!!!!

Welcome: you have found the right place to beg for Captain Britain! There are a few members here who wont rest till he's made. Once you develope a sick need for Kang & a Wrecking Crew set, you'll fit right in! nessex: hey, i'm down for kang AND the entire wreckin' crew, too. believe 'dat! karamazov: i don't remember ever seeing that "fun and games" book. it looks cool, though. when did it come out???

Strange/Dormammu I think you mean. Right? :biggrin: right! exactly... that dormammu demon thingie that the hood is hostin'. Forgive me for my ignorance. I only read Ultimate. For now, Johnny Storm is the one that Dormammu is channeling in Ultimatum. i didn't even know that. cool! (i don't read the ultimate titles... or ultimatum)

YOu can make your own intro thread you know. This is not a general thread for introducing yourself. Plus with your own thread you get a T42 MOVIE CHALLENGE!!!! damn tootin'! the T42 movie challenge is one hell of a nifty "welcome aboard" all by itself. :biggrin: oh, and... um... welcome aboard, by the way!

Strange/Dormammu I think you mean. Right? :biggrin: right! exactly... that dormammu demon thingie that the hood is hostin'.
