  1. Marvel's New Universe PSI Force. It's not that I have any special place in my heart for the New Universe stuff. But as a kid, I had a subscription to Marvel's Star Wars comic that I got in the mail every month. When that series ended, I started getting PSI Force. It wasn't bad, at least at the time. So a minimate set, including a large PSI Hawk, would be purely for nostalgia sake.
  2. Well, my Kingpin has a backwards thigh cap. Given how often this occurs, I don't see why they can't be made symmetrical and interchangeable on both sides. I don't see where the little cut in the back really helps or hinders anything as it is. Not really worth the effort of exchanging it though. Besides that, its a nice set! (even though I already have that DD multiple times over from the custom case I ordered of the DeWolff wave.)
  3. TRU minimate overload today! Found both wave 13 & Spidey untouched on the pegs!
  4. What evidence is there that this line might be "circling the bowl"?? NONE! This line is going STRONG! We will continue to get mates for AT LEAST the next 2 years! Supporting characters have a better than average chance of being made when the main characters movie is being released. The next 2 years will bring us a Thor and Captain America sequel. I'm confident we'll see more of their supporting cast, along with more X-Men, Spiderman and Avengers cast in the meantime. Voting for Winter Soldier, Wrecker, etc is like voting for KANG: DST KNOWS we want them, it WILL happen eventually! No. You weren't here in 2006, Monkey Crumb. You didn't live through the dark times like some of us did. I will never assume Minimates are doing so good that they "Can't die." I've watched beloved toy lines be canceled, I've seen my all time favorite shows cut down in their prime. And I've watched my #1 collection be pushed right to the brink, and somehow, perhaps only by divine grace, come back to be what it is today. Marvel could literally pull the plug at any moment and that would be the end. Remember how ToyBiz lost their rights to Hasbro? And no one saw it coming? You assume whatever you want. But for me, Minimates is always 1 wave away from being finished forever. Yes, I WAS here during 2006. I was just a lurker. I've been collecting since wave 1. I was there for the "dark times". This AINT IT. But then, you're the expert on everything including me, aren't you? You're such a genius that you pull the words "cant die" from the statement I made that minimates will be around for at least the next 2 years. I never said they "can't die". You can assume whatever you want, but don't attribute quotes to me that I never said. Try comprehending what you read before you post next time. Oh, and Marvel can't just "literally pull the plug at any moment", that's not how contracts work. Toy biz was *bought out* by Hasbro, they didn't lose anything to them. Your post is so full of inaccuracies it boggles the mind! Thank you for demonstrating so clearly that you have no idea what you are talking about! Actually the sequence is this: Toy Biz had the Marvel License. Then Marvel bought Toy Biz, and rebranded it Marvel Toys. Marvel then licensed out their property to Hasbro, while using Marvel Toys to produce the Legendary Comic Heroes (and I believe some wrestiing line using some of the same Marvel molds). The Legendary Comic Heroes line didn't do very well at retail due to obscure characters and stopped at wave 2, despite some awesome toys(Monkeyman & Obrien), with wave 3 only being shown partially at Toy Fair. It was very convoluted and whatever Marvel's original strategy was, it seemed very backwards at the time to me.
  5. Am I the only one who can't get poll#3 to show up on marvel.com, even after refreshing several times? It says 3 is there, but only polls 1 & 2 show up.
  6. LOL! Watch out for geese... Give the Menace hair a try. I think it works well.
  7. I'm really hoping the final Marvel set is NOT Avengers. I mean, c'mon, we just got a bazillion and one Avengers minimates in regular waves, exclusives, box sets and movie line. Do we really want even MORE right now? I love Avengers as much as the next guy, but I really could do with a break from Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Wolvie and everyone in between. I just started reading the new Uncanny series, so I'd personally love more from that team. Danger, Namor, Magik... All in their updated looks. But please, not another Captain America with bigger star and new grimacing face, or battle damaged Iron Man with grimacing face... You get the picture...
  8. I haven't read AvX, but are there any Avengers characters that have new looks that we haven't already gotten in the last few Avengers themed minimates? If not, I'd rather have complimentary X-characters in the new looks.
  9. I actually used that one for my Johnny Storm. Somehow seemed appropriate as it's a smirking Chris Evans.
  10. Filmation's Ghostbusters had an ape. Never cared for the cartoon, but I'd take a mm set.
  11. Sweet Christmas! That would be an awesome variant!
  12. Tough choices. But went with Gladiator and Falcon. Here's hoping for a CLASSIC Falcon variant if he get's made.
  13. The top three that would interest me the most: Hellboy/BPRD Judge Dredd/2000 AD Madman (Throw Monkeyman and O'Brien in there somewhere and I'll be happy. )
  14. Some of those haven't been at my TRU for a long, long time. Great haul!
  15. Honestly, I have 2 of the minimate cases (Pirate & gator) and they really don't hold a candle to the $4 Walmart clear storage cases in the hardware section. They have adjustable slots and I can fit 4-8 minimates plus accessories in each slot if I make a 12-slot configuration, or I can narrow it down to 2-3 per slot when I use a 24-slot config. For $4 it can't be beat. They're great for Joes, most Marvel 4" and other smaller figures as well. The minimate cases, while "pretty", don't hold as many, are a cheaper material, and much larger.
  16. Well, Spider-Man, Cap, Thor, Avengers have all had recent waves. X-Men, Daredevil, Hulk & Venom are all part of upcoming stuff. That leaves Iron Man(also represented in the Avengers' waves), and Fantastic Four. Thing had recent minimates, but the rest are due upgrades, possibly in blue/white. Mister Fantastic(new SS arm)/She-Hulk(F4), Thing (F4 tank w/pants & boots)/Johnny(new flame on pieces), Invisible Woman(sleeveless w/4 cutout)/Moloid, variant Sue as Malice/Moloid. Tru compliment set: Gorgon/Triton, Medusa/crystal... Or Karnak.
  17. Well, the last page of Army of Darkness vs Marvel Zombies had Ash running from Marvel Werewolves, so take your pick of any of the other Wolf-Heroes. Plus the 90's X-men toon had the High Evolutionary turn Wolverine into a big Were-Wolverine. Or preferable - CapWolf/Man-Wolf or Cap-Wolf/Werewolf by Night. And yes, the Marvel Legends Blue GR has an orange flame variant. Cyborg Spidey/Deathlok Hydro IM/Space IM/Space Nick Fury/Space Cable... (taking my cues from Toy Biz of the 90s.) Grey Savage Hulk/Grey Kirby Hulk
  18. Cap Wolf and Grey Hulk. Hoping the Cap Wolf parts will be recycled into a future Man-Wolf or Werewolf by Night. Plus it's so over-the-top 90's I had to vote for it!
  19. A web-thwipping Spider-man hand, both with and without a webline attached. A Spider-Man with magnets in his feet would be pretty cool too.
  20. Here's a solution Zach. Just make a Night Patrol 2-pack with Linda Blair and the Unknown Comic. Paper Bag head made - everybody happy! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087795/
  21. Am I the only one that has the Run DMC cover of this song in his head now?
  22. Sentinel blasted adamantium skeleton Wolverine? Samurai Wolverine (or is he a ninja), How about bone claws bandana wearing Wolvie? An updated Days of Future Past is long overdue too.
  23. I'm surprised we haven't gotten "fang" wolverine yet, the crazy jungle outfit he had for a while. That one would be a nice change of pace... If they felt the overwhelming need to do another wolverine.
  24. Cap-Wolf would get my vote for cheesy 90's fun. Plus I'm sure the parts could get some mileage as Werewolf by Night as well as Man-Wolf.
