Oat. I find your lack of faith...disturbing. I could be wrong, but I went into my second viewing looking for these guys. We may not know for sure until the blu-ray is released. Oh, no, I think YOUR information is accurate, I just don't think the case assortment is. TTF saw three Generals, and the store says they only got one Maria Hill. So far, he's the only one reporting in. But yes, I guess it depends on which one you want to army-build, female SHIELD agents or Chitauri Generals.

Yeah, it's a real shame. Oh, well, there's always Series 100...

No, we wanted to be in front of the movie. I THINK the second set might be out by August, as well. Not sure.

Specialty set? Early June. TRU set? No idea.

Wow, you saw the movie?! How was it, TM2? I look forward to your advance review!

Not a bad idea. Our sell-through at TRU has been phenomenal. And please tell us what you find -- I think it will be better for collectors AND sales if the General is more plentiful, especially given the new info youbastards has supplied, but I'm still not sure that's accurate.

Factory says that they shipped correctly. Maybe they got in three cases, TTF? Or maybe they were accidentally sent the wrong case breakdown?

No, I think we'll be making the E2 Mates no matter wh-- ...Uh, I mean yes! Please buy multiples. :biggrin:

If anyone else can confirm that Maria Hill is the rare variant, I would appreciate it. My case probably won't arrive until next week.

HA! I love that my rejected plan for a "love letter to the fans" was apparently to make some of the most obscure comic book characters ever invented, and not the numerous prominent characters that people have been asking for for a decade. I wouldn't make that line, either. That said, I do want a Dragon Man eventually. And I guess I thought we had already made Stingray. A shame. Best superhero costume ever. But I have never read a story with Ulik in it.

As promised...

It's a pretty great wall. I want to do something with all of my Sentinel parts from various Marvel Legends figures. Hey, have you guys seen the photos by this guy Bryan Mark German? A.K.A. DrthBrger? He uses a lot of base pieces in his Minimate shots: This shot I took in the subway:

Doesn't look like he's in the game.

Great Hooker!

Nothing wrong with taking a break, Geo. I tried to shoot the new batch of ASM Minimates I got in, but was so tapped out I didn't make much progress. I did get this one, though. Nobody wants to disappoint Dennis Leary.

Welcome to the boards, FDOI. Sorry you weren't happy with Wave 45. The General is actually a completely different sculpt from the regular Chitauri -- yes, he came with an arm cannon, but I didn't notice that arm cannon users wore different armor in the film. More likely, he reflected an actual General character who was cut from the movie, although I haven't asked specifically. We never saw footage, we were only sent designs and told who everybody was. I'm sure if we'd gotten reference in time, we would have made the leader Loki dealt with. And while the army dump was cancelled, I didn't see any distinct variations in the SHIELD uniform OR the Chitauri. So it would have been a tough set to create, even if we got reference. I'm certainly sad we didn't get Bruce, but who knew he'd be the breakout character in the movie? We discussed "quick custom" recipes earlier in the thread-- I just may have to make one now.

Sorry couldn't make out the individual fur strands in the gif, nor decipher the object behind it. Thought it was one of these, holding a frying pan. You know, a brown duck? If that's a platypus, then the gif maker has never seen a platypus, or based that one on a gif of a duck.

Then I have to buy a 3rd Ryu and an Abel, Can’t we convince you to make FOUR waves so only one character from each side is left out? No one wants Rufus and (some Tekken fan can decide which Tekken character is most hated... Bob?), how many sets do I need to buy to make Wave 4 happen? Because if you guys stop at Wave 4 and I don’t get Guy, Cody, and the main SF2 cast the blood will be on YOUR hands Mr.Oats and your boss will learn cookies from strangers is a bad idea. Chuck has had junior staffers taste all free cookies since Angelgate. You will need to buy twelve Rufuses to make Series 4 happen.

Wow. The Street Fighter love is strong with this one. Pretty sure we'll include new versions of those three big guys simply because we need as many big guns as we can get, but not sure about those others. Wanna say yes to Abel and Rolento.

Thanks for the heads up Zach! Can you tell us if a super miniature version of Ant Man has ever been talked about? ...either on an arrow or as a shoulder ornament or something? Silver surfer turn out so cool on galactus. Thanks Not sure it's ever been talked about, but Ask DST. Trick now is finding an Avenger we haven't done to death to package a tiny Ant-Man with. And have we not done a Wasp like that?

I occasionally pass through Jersey on my way to NY state. New Jersey is where the weak are killed and eaten. At least, that's what the T-shirts say.

Saw it at 9am this morning. Pure awesome. Knew general plot. But not structure, so I kept getting surprised. Cannot believe And the Galaga joke had me laughing for ten minutes. Oh, and the oracle leader guy... was that the "Other" played by Alexis Denisof? Did not recognize his voice, though it seemed familiar.

WWE figures used to come with great barbells and dumbbells (do they still call them that?). Some of those might work at a smaller scale...

Awesome shots, Punisher. And TM2, that is a sweet Rambeau. I want Nextwave Mates.

You're probably alone in that complaint; most of us really didn't like the way that hairpiece looked. I think it was the ears. Yeah, I mentioned that change a couple of months back, and everyone seemed relieved. Everyone said he looked like a member of Whitesnake.
