I just got word from my Diamond rep - Series 79 is NOT cancelled. They had to change item codes due to an internal code error, so the old code shows up on the cancellation list. But it has a new code and is on track for production!

God bless you, Luke. You’re doing the lord’s work. Now Darkhawk can come home to my collection, where he belongs.!

Well, crap. This was like one of the only waves that I was actually interested in. I really wanted that Darkhawk. I hope they find a way to get this wave out.

Happy Holidays! I hope everyone was able to spend time with family and those they hold dear. 

This is so awesome! I’ve for sure gotta order this one! 

I was thinking bulked up kingpin top and arms and zombie kingpin lower portion. Only from the knee down would be a bit dodgy looking. 

I think the Gamora body with an X-Men movie Mystique head and white hooded cape from Taskmaster would make for a pretty great Supergiant. It’s missing some gold detailing on the arms. But, I’d be willing to overlook that.

I've known for some while that I am no longer needed here.

I can’t live up to that, BHM. You’re the GOAT.

Spotted in Kentucky.

In Louisville? If so, which store?

Hmmm...all I can think of is Sinthea, but, i’m Not usually right with this stuff. Still excited, though! 

Is it a Thor villain, specifically? Or just a villain who first appeared in Thor? I’d love for it to be a Thor villain, but really I just love villains in general. Bring ‘em on!

@luke314pi, You’ve been doing an amazing job with these! Another home run!

You couldn't imagine a helmet instead of a print on a regular head? The list of people who want a Darkhawk minimate more than me is awfully short but DST cheaping out on one of the most important parts of the character's look has severely damaged my interest in the figure.

No, when I made my own custom I used a decal. I think a slip on helmet would make his head look too large. I’m happy with what I see. ?

.....is-is that a Darkhawk? <insert Fry “take my money gif” here>. It’s more beautiful than I could ever imagine!

Wow, that tabletop RPG idea is great! You could buy parts for different classes like mage, archer, thief, ranger, paladin. There could be orcs, ogres, elves, humans and then different parts to customize them. Then you could use them for tabletop sessions. D&D springs to mind first, but this would also be awesome for Shadowrun and other tabletop games. You could have villain packs and army building. I wonder if Hero Clix makes this not able to happen. 

The member of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard has to be Gladiator, right? I mean, i guess it doesn’t have to be, but a boy can dream! I felt like June’s custom would be Exodus. But I don’t know who July’s would be. Would August be Malekith? And September be Hellstrom? I’m probably just projecting at this point, but i’m still excited! 

That is awesome! great job! 

@Heinous your Blind Spot and Typhoid Mary customs are excellent, as well as the other customs of yours i’ve seen. Blind Spot and Typhoid Mary just seem to stick out the most in my mind. I remember thinking the Blind Spot was a factory minimate when I first saw it. Your skills are really good! Way better than I can do!

Beautiful 

 

Quite good ?   

Not strong enough? I like them a lot. I just didn’t want to sound like I was being fake. LoL. But they are a thing of beauty. 

Thank you! I had forgotten about Dracula and Yelena. 

Awesome job! Your customs are quite good. It looks like you hand paint stuff. Which is more impressive. 

Wave 10 is Rocket/Adam Warlock, Ghost Rider/Dr. Strange and Hammerhead and who? LoL. I can’t find the pictures of this wave anymore.

It adds about as much as passive aggressive whining about those comments. There is actually a worthwhile conversation that could be had about perceived value per pack or in the wave as a whole that goes far beyond "nitpicking", so why not discuss it? Personally I think buying a two-pack to get one character is pretty much the standard a minimate collector should expect for value but I can understand why others might feel differently. The build-a-minimate approach changes that too since each individual character is likely losing a little bit of value to make up for the extra figure. DST also chose to pack this wave in a way that would maximize their sales but also force people to buy two different teams which could obviously be a source of frustration for some, though I'm a little surprised anyone would want one half of the wave and not the other. Still, any fan ought to be able to express their opinion about what they want to buy without "you're killing the line!" nonsense.

I get what you’re saying and no one is saying you can’t have an opinion and voice said opinion. I think the point that @hellpop was making is that there’s a whole lot of negativity in almost every thread. It’s been kind of a bummer, and any time someone says that the atmosphere is negative they get a comment about complaining about complaining. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if the opinion isn’t popular. But this is a community. A community of people who share a common passion.  A community should care about everyone’s feelings and not just their own. I try not to shit on someone else’s opinions because I don’t want someone to shit on my opinion. Just some common courtesy goes a long way. If everyone in the world would just be more considerate and treat people how they want to be treated the world would be a much better place. My comments are not directed at any specific person, I have no one in mind during this tirade, it’s a general plea to not let negativity reign supreme and squash someone else’s good time.  

I didn’t want to post any spoilers, but @BuffaloDelorean is correct. It was pretty amazing to see him on screen. Other than a brief glimpse in Spider-Man the animated series back in the 90s, I can’t recall seeing him in a cartoon.
