  1. Here's the issue with the X-Force 'mates; I understand not liking them, because of the design, but what some of us are saying is this:

    The design of the figure is spot on for the character. You may hate the character design, but that doesn't make these bad 'mates, it just means you don't like the source material.

    Example: I don't like the look of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, but the Movies Masters figure is pretty damn good, as it's an accurate representation of the character design. Doesn't mean I want it, just that I can appreciate a job well done in translating the character to plastic. On the flip side, while I'm a fan of Nightwing, the recent figure based on his Arkham City appearance is a let down because the face sculpt is entirely too apathetic and the articulation far too limited. I don't want either figure, but there's a difference between the bad figure I don't want and the good figure I don't want.

    Here, here!

  2. Can I have the job filing the Minimate Vending Machine?

    Would you file it under 'M' or 'V' ?

    How about 'MMMV'?

    MMMV all the way. That was supposed to be filling. Damn iPhone and my bad eyesight! BTW found these in Harrisburg PA last night & picked an extra set if anyone needs it for cost + shipping. And we definitely need a Siryn to complete X-Force!

  3. You live in Scranton, PL? My wife's from up that way (Tunkannock).

    If DST could figure out a way to produce Minimate vending machines, something that could be magically restocked as needed, that would be awesome. Until then, while my fantasy has been to see a 'mates-only endcap, it's good to see various parts of the planogram assimilated by this viral plastic crack addiction.

    Can I have the job filing the Minimate Vending Machine? I could be like Santa Claus! *Greatest Job Ever!*

  4. Are Spidey/Punisher & Kingpin/DD not TRUs exclusives? I thought this whole wave were just available at TRUs.

    They're all TRU exclusives, except Daredevil. Not sure why only two have stickers.

    Thanks, like someone else said, must be trying to save money on stickers!

  5. ^ Even if it gets solid reviews?

    Yeah, I'm gonna pass. I am a fan of the Raimi Spideys ( SM2 still my gold standard for judging comic book movies). SM3 needed either another 1/2 hour or one less villian. I blame Sony for listening to the "fans" that wanted Venom, even though Raimi had gone on record as not a Venom fan. Zach has a good point about Dunst, I would rather see her as Gwen & get killed in the 1st movie & BDH play MJ for the rest that way neither had to dye their hair. I agree with Dino, I think it's too soon for a reboot, esp with the others so fresh. But really, I want to rights to return home where they belong, with Marvel (along w/ FF, Ghost Rider, X-Men & DD) so we can have one big Marvel film universe. That being said, there are a few pieces in this wave I'll pick up, but most are a pass so I can brace my wallet for the treats we're going to get at SDCC!

  6. Hydro Iron Man and Savage Hulk. I loved the new bulked Hulks & have a soft spot for IMs crazy Armors, plus if it gets made I don't have to attempt a custom. Trust me, it was tough my love of Cap almost got me voting for Cap-Wolf. But I'd be happy with any of these! Although I would like to see a Deathlock mate to go with Cyborg Spidey!
