Blind bags is what killed Palz. And we've still never seen the Buffy, Angel, X-files or Army of Darkness lines recover, so that is just stupid crap.

Yes, "One and done." One crew member per series, and then "we're out of here!"
DS9: Sisko
Voyager: Janeway (OK, Seven of Nine)
Enterprise: Archer
Next Generation: Picard
These new figures were great, far above the previous level, to the extent that you can't even place any of the previous wave figures with this most recent wave without them looking out of place. And then what? We're still waiting to find out. I don't believe that the series was called "Star Trek Captains," was it? If so, I don't think I was the only one who missed that. I went out and hunted down these sets, several in duplicate, in the hopes that this was going to be the start of something great, which it should have been.
I hope we get some good news on this front, but it sure doesn't sound like we're going to.

im guessing we will see a classic x-men vibe
Thunderbird & Banshee
Classic Storm & Kitty Pryde
Cyclops & Dire Wraith
Gladiator & Dire Wraith
It might be nice if they swap out Thunderbird for Sunfire, but I like your list!

I hope we get some good news on the Trek front, as it would suck to have done all that running around to collect a "one and done" line. If they had let us know up front, I may not have bothered.

I'm hoping to maybe see a dark blue Cyclops with alternate parts for both the Byrne era and the 90s costume (with jacket parts even!) I hoped one might show up in the Best of series, but that hasn't happened yet. A new Giant-size X-Men Storm would be great, and Gambit, who could use a re-issue. Maybe early-appearance Rogue, and for a villain, Toad!

I'd like to see, in a future "Best of" wave, A dark blue Cyclops with parts to go from "Dark Pheonix Saga" Cyclops to 90s Cyclops, both with gold visors, and maybe the eye beam. I'd like to see it paired with a Giant-Size X-men 1 Storm, as that figure is pretty dated.

Am I the only one hoping that Hawkeye comes with another set of arms in the darker color, so I can make both the long-sleeved, and one-sleeved, EMH look?
Of all the minimates shown so far, these are the ones I am hurting for the most.
At least until we get some more trek news...

Welcome to ATX, Matt!

I can't wait for these. I wonder if any figures we already have match the darker color on Hawkeye, for the one-sleeved look from EMH? Maybe the Battlestar guys?

I'm pretty sure that's old person talk for awesome. I first heard it at least 20 years ago.
I first heard it in the movie "Stand By Me," so it's pretty old, but I still use it too, Zach.

I know I'm in the minority, but Rocket looks fine to me, and in scale. He's a raccoon, not a guy in a raccoon suit, so it works for me.

Hopefully, Zach will get back to us once he's done with the other threads. GOTG and ASM2 are hopping threads right now.

Didn't the film rights revert back to Marvel? Maybe they want to eventually reboot him for another film and distance it from the Nic Cage films? I like the design. But remember, the classic vintage Ghost Rider rode a horse, so a change of vehicle isn't unprecedented. And yes, I'd like Dukes of Hazard minimates with the car, but would they even do it with that rebel flag on the roof? What about Supernatural? Isn't Dean's car a Dodge Charger? I liked the new Ghost Rider design in the first pic, but it looks awful in the second pic.
Dean Winchester's car, the Metallicar, is a black 1967 Chevy Impala.

I'm choosing to be optimistic about the news delay, and here's the story I'm telling myself:
Maybe TRU is on the fence about ordering more Star Trek, and DST is waiting to decide to shift TOS and Voyager mates into LCS waves, if TRU decides not to proceed. Either way, I really want some more Trek mates, and I hope everyone gets their favorite 50 characters and ten ships!

I'm kind of disappointed in the SDCC showcase. I was hoping to see new Walking Dead and Star Trek mates.
Maybe the Trek minimates aren't doing as well as they thought? It feels like a lack of confidence to not see anything at an event as big as SDCC. I hope this isn't as bad as it looks.

No word on Star Trek?

Since the Enterprise looks to be hitting comic shops and specialty stores this week, does anyone know if EE and AFX are going to be getting the Mirror and Tribbles ships this week, too? Also,any chance of some closer pics of the Kirks from those sets?
Rex!
-
Zach, can you post pics of the Mirror/Mirror and Tribbles Kirks and their accessories? We've seen them in the packaging, but loose pics would make things more clear. Besides, I'd love to see those tribbles, too!
Thanks,
Rex!

Wesley Crusher QC!!!
LOL. George McFly head, hair is from beast, I think. Picard gave the rest.
I'm putting my Star Trek uniforms/bodies up for trade/sale if anyone is interested. I'm keeping the heads and some accessories; i'll post a pic of what is available in the the trade thread.
Ok, this is a great custom. Got an extra Picard on order for this. I'm trying to track down the hair, but I can't find it. Looked at both Human Beasts and neither of their hairs looks like this. Anyone any ideas?
Take care,
Matty-lad
I think it might be the hair from Bucky from the Captain America moviemate.

I see,thank you, I've been racking my brain trying to work out what it was.
No problem. I just hope we get these in TX soon. The wait is excruciating!

I've been meaning to ask, what exactly is the thing on Janeway's wrist?
I think it's supposed to be one of the forearm-mounted double flashlights they often used on the show.
-
I'm more disappointed that, here in Austin, none of the TRUs seem to be carrying these. I really want Zangief and friends, but I like to be able to look at the figures to check for quality control. Really annoying.

Has anyone really looked at the promo pictures on Disney's website? Specifically Thor minus the beard. http://www.disneystore.com/disney-store-official-site-for-disney-merchandise-avengers-minimates-set-2-4-pc/mp/1305962/1000255/?D=minimates&Nr=pPublished%3A1&Ntk=All_ShoppingΝ=pProductID&Ntt=minimates&Dr=pPublished%3A1&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial or Kang and Hulk http://www.disneystore.com/disney-store-official-site-for-disney-merchandise-avengers-minimates-set-1-4-pc/mp/1305960/1000255/?D=minimates&Nr=pPublished%3A1&Ntk=All_ShoppingΝ=pProductID&Ntt=minimates&Dr=pPublished%3A1&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial
Those are funny, especially Thor swinging his extra hand around!

Speaking of EMH, after watching "Breakout, Part 2," my desire for a Graviton Minimate is stronger than ever.
Griffon and Whirlwind also make some great appearances. And Grey Gargoyle!

You may want to give their customer service line a call. There may be a problem with the payment method or something. Your stuff should be there by now.
