Alpheon

By the way, nice collection Aapje! Beautiful Nova!

Or maybe Danny's variant is a variant and yours is just the norm...

Actually, yeah. That probably is a better idea . I'll do that. Thanks.

Oh, um, yeah, I guess that is true... Ok, cut all those prices down by $3.00.

Hey, it's me. I was wondering which of all you customs gods are willing to accept commisions, that is, paid assignments/requests for your work. I've been particularly wanted to ask MINI-MYTE. So, do you?

It's me again, the Brain Picker. I wanted to know, is Minimates really your favorite toy? I know it's hard to decide, but think about it. I think it is Minimates for me. Really. All I'm asking you guys is to say what your true FAVORITE toy line really is.

I think these would be WONDERFUL. Regardless of the fact that I did love the movie, these would just be cool awesome ace 'mates altogether. I think playsets and gift packs are the coolest thing toys can be distributed as, and I think these would actually boost popularity of the movie, even if it is old. Or better yet, release some kind of pair with a special edition DVD of the movie with the 'mates! As for price, um: Transport Carrier: $21.99. (this is thinking realistically) Police 4-Packs: $7.99. Silver Audi with Spooner: $14.99. NS-5 10-Pack: $17.99. 5-Pack of Various: $8.99. 5-Pack contains: Spooner (different then Audi Spooner), Robertson, Dr. Calvin, Sonny, NS-4, and Dr. Lanning. Availability: Limited, but still able to get in speciality shops. I'm not sure how much a "k" is, but I'd say 5,500 of each set world wide.

Side note: how would you do a VIKI minimate? Seriously.

What do you guys think of PALz? Do you like them? Hate them? Mildly respect them? Don't have any idea what they are? I almost made this a poll, but thought that would be too complicated. I have seen and played with ONE, Deep Throat from "The X-Files". He's pretty cool, actually, but not nearly as good as Minimates. But, then again, part of the reason I like Minimates so much is that they have lines I actually like. I don't watch Die Hard or X-Files. However I do read comics, read LOTR, and have seen Star Trek, etc. What do you guys think of PALz? More importantly, do you have any?

Alpheon, that's interesting. I've not seen another unmasked doom so have nothing to compare it to. Could some one post a pic of theirs so we could compare?

I can't at the moment, but for an immediate picture go to MMC here and here. (Thanks Danny!)

Rad, in my experience, that happens ALLLL the time. Facial detailing randomization. FDR. My friend collects minimates too, and he ALWAYS seems to get the ones with lower FD. It's weird, but because of that his Sentry and Speed Racer have really big foreheads. Also, sometimes FD can be higher, and result in a big jaw (like the DVD Capt. America, although that wasn't really random, just bad design). Another thing that can happen is that sometimes the facial detailing is moved up some so that...ok, get a minimate in your hand. Take it's head off. At the bottom of the head you'll notice there's a sort of "curve" or "lip" that edges into the flat bottom of the head. Well, sometimes the FD is moved up so there isn't any paint until AFTER that "curve", which results in the face appearing as though it has a double chin of sorts, especially on the Thing and Spider-Man.

Yeah, you all know I have always been one. Since the inception of this forum and the AA for a while. I have always had so much to say to you guys, but my dad only recently let me sign up. But yeah, this whole "lurker" idea is a little strange to me.

See? SEEEE? AA, why can't you be like Nervous over here?

That's what I was thinking when I saw that. Can he even move? See, though, ToyBiz seems to have it in their heads that kids will now officially buy ANYTHING if it has to do with Spider-Man. And for the most part, that seems to be proving itself true. Yeah, I used to like the Marvel Legends predecessor, the REAL "Spider-Man Classics". The ones like Man-Spider, Rhino, Captain Universe and yes, the Scarlet Spider. As for my fave SMC costume? It's hard to distinguish that question from "fave SMC altogether". Right now I am really hooked on going out and buying all the House of M action figures I can. So, my current fave (that I don't have) would be the latest Spider-Sense Spider-Man. Not to say I am not sick of crappy "features". I hate "features" altogether.

Spectacular! I love it. I've watched this with my siblings so many times. :D

Wow, that's...a lot. I noticed, not to be rude or anything, but your Unmasked Dr. Doom's facial detailing is much lower then any I've seen.

Yeah, um, jcastick? Pardon me, but could you repeat that?

*reads poll results* Ok, who said they wanted chases??

Jatta, I'm not sure you got what jcastick was saying...but maybe I'm confused, as usual.

Its in 'THEARIDDLERA' BUT NOT IN AA' = THE RIDDLER

Did everyone get the joke?

What? Did you mean "AA" as in Arkham or Art Asylum? I still don't get it...now my intestines hurt...

Has anyone remarked or found it odd that the new DCD line of Minimates does not have any chase figures? I can't tell if I like it or not. On one hand, I think it will be much easier knowing that I have them all without the intense feeling of longing and the knowledge that there's still one out there that's not in my collection, on the other: I enjoy the "hunt". What about you guys? Or am I just uninformed beyond imagination and there ARE chases out there??? Just thought I'd pick your brains...AGAIN.

I'm loving them both, but especially the Sorcerer Supreme!

By the way, Deadpool, what did you mean when you said "exact 'House of M' Scarlet Witch"?

:o OH! Oh, jeez, I'm sorry...I really really really am sorry! I'm a neat freak in real life, and I guess it translates to the forum, too; I'm so sorry. I did not mean to offend anybody. I really am neat-freaky...

Oh, ok. I thought it looked a little authentic. Ok! I am deleting that post, then...

I know I'm sorta going on about this thread, but is this Fin Fang Foom? I've heard of Dragon Man, but were he and Fin one and the same? Plus, what the heck suit is this?? Cool...Spidey-Armor...How come I've never seen these before?

I just don't shut up, do I?

Has anybody seen this Nightcrawler?? I'm liking him better then the ML one with the "plastic" surgery() face...

Did anyone ever see Juggernaut wearing a suit like this in the comics? Ever?

P.S. PLEASE PLEASE: if anyone has any info on some ToyBiz House of M action figures (like Air Strike Wolverine, Spider Sense Spider-Man, etc) or even just characters that were at all part of the HoM arc (like Capt. Britain) tell me as soon as you can! I think (if possible) I'll make a HoM ML display shelf soon.

P.S.2. Does anyone think I should buy the Invisible Girl from Fantastic Four, or should I wait for a non-ultimate one in the Marvel Legends line?

Oh, right. I just answered my own question with a quick trip to ToyBiz.com. Cool, Deadpool! Thanks! I never would have thought to pick this up!

*edit*Thanks, Deadpool, can you think of any other HoM's?
