In the case that that is what happens, T, then we might have to take a nod from Mystery Man and rename the Marvel line "Spider-Man and his Amazing Minimate Friends"

Jeff and Minimom?

I'm not taking it to PM cos there's nothing else that needs to be said.

T.

That's fine, just as long as it's over, and we can get back to speculating. Thanks.

I know I jumped the gun on this kinda situation yesterday, but I think me and everyone else have had enough. Either someone needs to be the bigger man and end it(I am NOT pointing fingers at anyone!), or TAKE IT TO PM!

Disclaimer: In no way am I trying to act like a mod and/or admin, as I know I am not one. I just feel that once an argument takes up a whole page of what was suppossed to be general discussion and/or speculation, it is time to either end it, or if the parties involved want to continue, they can and should take it elsewhere. That's just my $0.02.

I think that while the marketing move on puttting out so many Spidey sets is great, by the time they hit shelves(if these are 17/18)is going to be awful. Much of the hype is going to be gone, unless DST can release them to coincide with the DVD release. And like CR said, for these to be a hit, they must be avaliable to the mass market!

If I may, I want to post my opinion:

Fujis(and JP) repost things on the HQ to appeal to a wider audience than the one over here. By no means is he "leaching" as you put it Tim. And, IIRC: Fujis(or JP) always give credit were credit is due, and always posts a link to join in n the discussion over here. Also, I found out about Ady's new forum(MMMV) thru the HQ and there is probably a couple more people who have done the same, so if anything, I'd say JP and Fujis are contributing(somewhat) to the forum's growth.

Hmm, anyone else think this is the end of Marvel? I mean, 3 waves(including Target) of nothing but Spidey rehashes!?! That's is just too much.

On a lighter note, the new pic for the Spider-Man Boxset is awesome! Looks like venom does get the clawed hands and Spidey's feet and sides are painted!

Zatanna/Black Canary - the girls in tights pack

T.

If it's Golden Age Canary, you get a "Girls in fishnets" pack

Anyway, this is my prediction as to what we might get:

Azreal/Armored Batman

Kyle Rayner/Sinestro

Arsenal/Nightwing

Doomsday/Black Costume Superman

CR, I know what you're saying, but I only get like that when my younger relatives start to touch them. That creeps me out, especially when they start going for the variants....

I like those new new release dates, and I hope they are final. I t gives me some mor time to dig up some extra loot to pay for them!

Looking at the 2 Batman packs and the Deathstroke pack, I can't help but notice that the hair pieces are not visible. According to this pic, DC MINIMATES both Batman and Deathstroke will come with hair pieces. Do y'all think they scrubbed the hair pieces or are they just well hidden somewhere on the blister card? Comments please.

P.S: What do you all think is under Harley Quins mask? Anther white face expression or a flesh colored Harleen Quinzel face?

Difficult to call, I'd say given the number of accessories included ( things like spare hands for the OMAC) that the hair pieces are included and are just hidden to the side, as per the jokers 'bang' gun which you can only just see. Either that or there are 'Blank Blocks' under the masks...

I guess wave one will answer that question, until then we'll have to wait as it's unlikely anyone from DCD is going to comment.

T.

I'm not sure about Batman, but the reason Deathstroke doesn't have any hair is because it looks like he doesn't even have a removable mask anymore. It appears that the detail is painted on a standard head block, but I could be wrong(I hope I'm wrong, because I really liked the unmasked face of Deathstroke)...

If were trying not to repeat, I'd have to say Clayface.

Hmm, I actually most of the new designs. I don't think they are too busy, except for Assault Punisher and Gaijin Wolverine, who both have really craptastic faces.

If I have some extra $$$ when they hit the shelves, I'll buy one, but I'm not going to go out of my way to get them.

10. Thor

9. Green Arrow

8. Bearded Thor

7. Hydroman

6. Zombie Captain America

5. Zombie Wolverine

4. "Powerhouse" Venom

3. "Torment" Spider-Man

2. the new Green Goblin

1. Quicksilver!

Yay! I'm interested in seeing the "Transformation Venom"!

Hmm, the more I see that Venom, the more I like it!

If there's anything, I'm dissapointed they aren't using Black Panther or Ant Man as both of them played an important role in the series (I'd love to get a minimate of Black Panther with the replacement limbs). Heck, if they throw in both of them they could turn this into Wave 17.

Caracal, I think they chose those 5(Hulk, Power Man, Wolverine, Captain America and Spider-Man) because all of them have already had a regular version made. They did that to avoid backlash. For example: If they made a Zombie Hawkeye before a Regular Hawkeye, there would be a fair amount of people pissed off. I know I would be one of those people.

So, Marvel Zombies is a box set! Good! As for the Spider-Man set:

- Spider-Man = Very Nice mini, but the finished product better have painted sides.

- Hydroman - Nice Figure all around. My favorite of that set.

- Venom = Nice except for the hole in the head. Even if you did plug a toung in there, it wouldn't line up with the mouth.

- Black Spider-Man = Not sure about this one. It'll be nice for people who have the original Black Spidey, but a let down for those who don't.

- Sandman = 3rd worst figure ever, behind Spider-Sense Spider-Man and Mariko. He looks pudgy and just plain ugly. By far the worst figure of the set!

I'm kinda torn on these(cue "shock" from the rest of the members ) because I've never picked up a MZ book, so I know next to nothing about them.

On the plus side, with Wolverine's chest peice, I can update my custom Jim Lee Wolverine with those little shoulder pad thingies.

Let's see:

From Antacost:

JLU Green Lantern.

From Luke314pi:

Gambit

From Slipperyducky(what ever happened to him anyway?):

Secret Wars Wolverine

X-Men Evolution Wolverine

From Skull Buster:

Jim Lee Cyclops

Classic Havok

Classic Quicksilver

From TBT:

Ultimate Colossus

By Me:

Jim Lee Wolverine

Weapon X

So that would be 10 customs, with 2 more on the way, one from Luke(Classic Archangel) and one more from Skull Buster(Rey Mysterio).

So is this Wave 17?

I really like the Wolverine, but I think you put too much stubble on his face. That's just my opinion. Other than that, it's great! What did you make the shoulder pads out of?

Now that's a good quality toy!

As I said before, I am contemplating on Wave 15, and I have come to a decision. I am not going to pick up any of that wave.As for Wave 14, I plan on getting it all, except the variant (doesn't really interest me), and all of Wave 16!
