    At this point there is no way Jeanie isn't the Variant. I mean, even though they've thrown army builders around randomly in the past, these are Hellfire Goons. They have a huge role in 90s X-men history, and were featured in one of Jeanie's most key, important roles.

    Um, the Phoenix Saga (featuring Hellfire Goons) wasn't in the 90's. It was late 70's and into 1980. In fact, I can't even think of a time in the 90's where the hellfire Club and it's soilders where really featured (someone else can correct me if I'm wrong).

    I'm not convinced that Jean Grey is the variant just yet. I'd love this to be a wave where the varaint is a totally different character. I doubt it'll happen, but I can hope.

    Holy fuck!! You're right...dammit, I SHOULD KNOW THAT!! :blink::( I have no clue why i said 90s...the only thing can i think of is the cartoon...jeez, that sucks...oh well...good episode... :blush:

    And Chrono, believe you me, besides you and Nessex i am the most prominent Jeanie lover of this board. She's been my favorite character since i first knew of the X-men, and VERY quickly moved into my favorite comic character slot, staying there all the way up until now (oh, btw; she might be coming back in SEIGE. ;) *squeal*). I just hate it when my favorite character becomes Wolverine, in this sense. She (and Scott, another favorite of mine. Screw Logan; i hope he dies in a ditch) is being so over-exposed right now it's not even funny. I love me some Jeanie, but four versions of her in a one-year span, AND two versions of Rachel is just too much. I DO want all of my Jeanie costumes EVENTUALLY, and will assemble some sort of mega-display when we get them, but all at once just ruins the fun of waiting and wanting. I like to have time to pick a favorite version, and getting so many great costumes she's worn within months just isn't fun at all. :confused:

    I see what you're saying. You don't want to blow all her costumes in one load. (impossible, she has so many good ones left even after this). Though I guess I'm a little different and like the instant gratification. haha. oooo, you think if

    Black Queen is the variant she'll come with a phoenix base like the one used for Rachel? I could use a lot of those, but I don't like Rachel enough to buy the set just for the base.

    Also where did you hear Jean may be coming back in Siege? I haven't kept up with the books lately.

    Whew!! That was close; i am beyond happy to see Hellfire Club Goons!!!!!!!!!!!! This is turning out to be my favorite wave in a while. Well, besides the Rachel/Sentinel Wave, that is. :P They look okay to me, but i like Matt's little hint. Perhaps a big arsenal and some add-ons?? Or maybe that give me something awesome?? Like:

    90s Jeanie

    Omega Red

    Variant: Black Queen

    At this point there is no way Jeanie isn't the Variant. I mean, even though they've thrown army builders around randomly in the past, these are Hellfire Goons. They have a huge role in 90s X-men history, and were featured in one of Jeanie's most key, important roles. It just makes sense to include The Black Queen with her. That is, unless we get another new Emma, but i'd rather get an update of her in a wave with the rest of the Club, so we can actually be assured of getting all of the others Kings and Queens.

    I gotta say, i'm not exactly psyched with Jeanie as the possilbe variant though. Don't get me wrong; the greatest comic-book characters of all time deserves her rightful place in Minimate ranks, and with a wardrobe like hers there are about 50 costumes DST could give us, so it's reasonable to have a lot, but i just wish she would come later in my proposed Hellfire Wave. Hell, i'd settle for a TRU exclusive!!!

    Actually, that woul be a GREAT release for the TRU version iof this wave:

    TRU 2-packs:

    Banshee/Sunfire

    Black Queen/White Queen

    I'd never give up Minimates EVER if that happened, and would love DST forever and ever and ever. :lol:

    What?!?! I'd rather Jean be the variant because the more Jeanne, the sooner the better. If she can come out now, why wait for some other wave.

    I could make do without an updated Hellfire Emma though. Nothing's wrong with the current one.

    90s Jean

    Omega Red

    Variant Black Queen

    Tru Exclusives to compliment this wave:

    Classic Green skirt Marvel Girl/Banshee (Giant Sized X-Men)

    Hooded Rogue/Sunfire (They've battled on several occasions)

    Spiral/Reaver (She worked with the Reavers)

    At this point there is no way Jeanie isn't the Variant. I mean, even though they've thrown army builders around randomly in the past, these are Hellfire Goons. They have a huge role in 90s X-men history, and were featured in one of Jeanie's most key, important roles.

    Um, the Phoenix Saga (featuring Hellfire Goons) wasn't in the 90's. It was late 70's and into 1980. In fact, I can't even think of a time in the 90's where the hellfire Club and it's soilders where really featured (someone else can correct me if I'm wrong).

    You're right about them being more prominent in the 80s, but their inclusion in this wave just shows it's an X-Men wave, not necessarily 90's only characters. Sure the majority of the wave is 90's, but it seems to have some 80's sprinkled in too.

    Hmm...maybe instead of Omega Red, it will be Mr. Sinister as he's predominantly 80's (Inferno + X-Factor)

    Here's the wave:

    Cyclops + Mr. Sinister

    Rogue + Beast

    Jean Grey + Hellfire Club Goon

    Variant:

    Jean Black Queen + Hellfire Club Goon

    Rogue looks really cool.

    I'm still hoping for Jean and a variant of her, Sinister and Omega Red.

    And for those complaining that it's an x-wave, the X-Men are reliable sellers. It's producing the more popular characters that allow some of the lesser known characters to get made eventually.

    now when do I get my classic green mini skirt Marvel Girl?

    In a future TRU wave: that's packed one per case. ZING!!! :P

    haha. As long as there's a chance of getting her I don't mind. Better than not having her at all. ;)

    i talked to a rep at afx today for other orderd items and he told me we should see boath sets in the next two for preorder i know im excited

    Mine said in November sometime.

    for yours, the next two days, months or years...decades? lol jk

    Hi guys I'm having trouble removing the big monster piece head from the normal sized head of the washington square ghost. Any suggestions?

    Having done it i can say that there isn't really a point to it, but i can tell ya the way i did it:

    First, remove anything below the torso (crotch, legs, etc...). You CAN remove the hands, but doesn't matter if you do or don't. Next take the arms off (i found it easier without the hands), and htne, usuing the arm-ball joints on the torso block, push both down at the same time. It may take a few tries. but eventually the glue will loosen and the head will slide with it.

    Oh, and this DOESN'T work for either Slimer. Werid...

    Thanks twisted. It finally worked.

    It;s been 2 days and my Toys R Us order still shows "located in stock". For such a big chain, they're pretty slow. ugh. I've had problems with them before on supposedly instock items so hopefully this goes through.

    Yeah, I've posted this before, but it bears repeating--Toys R Us is unbelievably unorganized as a major retailer operating an online website, IMO. I've had more than one order of "in stock" items get cancelled for no apparent reason, then inexplicably re-appear as "in stock."

    The T2 wave 2 Minimates are now available for pre-order once again :rolleyes:

    here was my experience last time: I preordered the marvel legends icons thru them, and when they shipped out they canceled some of them because supposedly they couldn't find any more in stock. So I only got half my order. I complained and said I only ordered a certain amount because it minimizes my shipping costs. I wouldn't have ordered it for 1 or 2 icons. Well they gave me a 10% off for my next order. When I saw them same icons in stock again, I decided to use the 10% off and order those. Went through only to have them canceled again. I figured I would give them one more try with these minimates but if not I'm really thru with online ordering from Toys R us.

    Hey guys, for those that own the washington square ghost, is there a normal yellowish, clear head underneath that the monster head snaps over?

    Yup

    Thanks. I just placed an ordered at Toys R us for the Library ghost and washington square packs.

    I would like to see a new big-style Juggernaut announced.

    YES. I never got the original Juggs. If anyone needs a remake with the new bigger chests it's him

    First Appearance and Silver Age are the same set. So really it's only the two sets. Although, now that you mention it... a third "Silver Age" Neal Adams inspired set totally rock.

    Again, Yes. This is the Jean I want:

    I'd kill for this display in minimate form, though I'd be happy with Jean and Beast since Iceman, Cyclops and Angel can all be substituted with released or upcoming versions.
