Teams That Would Fit Perfectly In The Current Boxsets
buttheadsmate replied to AFMcGill's topic in Marvel Minimates
No argument from me, your post is spot on ......although... ...IMHO the 15 year old GG* (Bring on TBG) is perfection & it is the only true comic version out of the 9 GG we have gotten (Himmel ) . The other versions look archaic or straight from a Walgreens wave. * which was also included in TRU Wave 2 . TRU wave 2 had 10 characters which included (to date) my favourite Green Goblin, one of my favourite Spider-Mans , my favourite Magneto, my favourite Doctor Doom, my favourite Punisher ,my favourite coloured Hulk , perhaps my favourite Wolverine , my favourite Wonder Man & ....cor blimey mate ...Union Jack TRU Wave 2 ....that wasn't a wave it was a Tsunami .....wonderful. -
"Solely available from ToesRUs.com ....Shinister Socks ,your favourite Shoe-per-heroes " I'm wandering whether Bigbadtoestore & Lukes Toe store will be stocking them? .....or Entoetainment Earth . -bigtoenailsmate Please help me .....

Lockjaw as a pack in figure? I wouldn't mind a set of Inhumans but it needs to be said that the animated Medusa was superb & very un-animated looking & inexpensively plentiful on eBay . The same 2-pack had a rather dull (lazy design -sorry ) Black Bolt ...but he's OK . What I'm saying is ....I'm not sure an Inhumans set is timely? -

The 'mismatched assortments of random characters' between LCS , TRU Waves & box-sets was contrived & a deliberate marketing decision by DST to encourage collectors to buy from differing sources . -

I understand the need for a Spider-Man in a SM box set packed with SM villains , I rather think we all do I would however have to say that now that we are coming towards our 100th. Spider-Man there are an awful lot of not-so -good versions . Of course there are some superb versions but from a completist's viewpoint not enough . In a nutshell if Spider-Man is essential then let's have a beauty rather than a beast . Regards the 'Deadly Foes' set , I bought many & I wish I'd bought more -

At my age it's OK to get confused ....so I always confuse the Serpent Society with the Sons of the Serpent . So ,first of all, I'd love a Serpent Society character or box set I'd also love a Sons of the Serpent army builder box set but it aint going to happen . Avengers #32 (1966) was fresh off the stands when I read it ,one of the first Marvel comics I had ever seen or read . Don Heck's artwork just sucked you in & this was dark stuff .....these were the KKK in different hats. -

I actually love the version of Electro that I (we?) have . 15 years later & I'd welcome a new one & would hope that Electro's mask could be revised , the W30 version is far too bulky IMHO. -

The Kamala Khan character is amongst many recent Marvel characters that have generally passed beneath my radar, I was aware of her existence mainly because of the original news-hype around her ethnicity . My knowledge of her was limited but I have now brought myself a bit more up to speed. That said I was well-aware of the Walgreen Minimate ( packed with Kang only our second Kang !! ) . Minimate 'hands' are a necessary evil , I accept that, but her big hideous minimate 'hand' is, IMHO, ludicrous . WTF ?

Regards a new Astonishing X-Men Wolverine, I, for one, would be up for that . I was almost sure that we had had one other than the Wave 13 antique * ...a trawl of the MMDB ( hail Ivan) & I'll put forward W2 Marvel v Capcom Wolverine . Lose the shoulder 'things' & we're nearly there** but that shouldn't mean we couldn't have another ? The M v Capcom line gave us (me?) some lovely versions of Marvel characters ....shame about the Capcoms IMHO. * It's worth looking at that version again, I just have, what on earth is going on with that belt ? ** too many Minimates fail by being 'nearly there ' , the FA Wolverine (TRU 22) would be typical .....slip on mask with no moulded ears . Unforgivable . -

I get confused ....Ms. Marvel or Captain Marvel ? -
I agree . The closest I've come to Peter Parker perfection is the TRU Wave2 Spider-Man sans slip-over , Parker looks like the Parker I first 'knew' . Whilst looking at that TRU set (2009!) Spider-Man & Green Goblin, I am inclined to say that is one of the best Minimate sets ever. It only fails to be perfect (for me) because I never took to slip-overs , they make the 'mate look top-heavy.

If you refer to the MMDB (Hail Ivan) you'll perhaps be surprised ( I was ) to see how few Peter Parkers you'll find. If you're looking for a plain, stand-alone , non-costumed, comic versions you'll find one....one! If you're looking for Spider-Man sans cowl or partial cowl then there's a handful more (heads). To find other Peter Parker 'heads' you'll have to trawl through the MMDB & check out the Spider-Mans with a slip-over mask .....again there a handful more (heads). Peter Parker is amongst my favourite fictional characters & I am actually staggered that I am actually going to say the following : I would absolutely adore a Peter Parker in the 1967 style of John Romita* . Then I'm thinking "why the hell haven't we gotten a Harry Osborn I'm the guy that generally says don't waste time on civilian characters.....I've changed my mind. *I'm not flexible on this

I'm up for any of the villains mentioned whether they've been made in a different format ( animated, comic etc.etc. ) or not. However I'm not sure whether I'll embrace too many, new ,slightly different comic versions of existing Minimate animated versions. The animated Jackal for example is IMHO .....unfortunate...& needs a completely different version . Interestingly enough the animated Jackal wore shorts whilst the comic version sports a pair of green Speedos ....

A Sinister Sox box set would no doubt have Sasquatch (Bigfoot) & the Eel in it ? Some other arch foes are shoe-ins . Please forgive me MinimateKing ...your excellent prediction doesn't deserve it .....but I just couldn't help myself . -R.Solesmate

Risque ? I wouldn't fret too much about Dazzler. I'm not posting pictures but there is an official Kubrick figure that Medicom released in 2004 that should never have seen the light of day . If you want to hunt for it , I'll direct you but prepare a bowl to be sick in first ! Look on US eBay for "Battlefield Baseball Special Edition DVD " . The packaging features an exclusive promo Kubrick which is prominently displayed Yes I have it ....in fact there's another version which is worse which I definitely will not share pictures of or link to . Then there's the Ugo Ugo Ruga kubricks ......... I'm happy with Minimates being conservative.

Thinking back on it, I finally realised that 'Thor' was a custom that my ol' friend (sometimes foe) TBT gave me at SDCC 2008 ........16 years ago when I was old but less old than I am now It's still a pretty awesome Minimate even now & completely illustrates my passion for Minimates , it is simple but priceless . Sorry .

It's not a great picture is it ? I have many oddities/protos etc. & somewhere amongst them are some customs that an original 'boardie' produced back in the really early days ....the days before I arrived here (2006) As far as I recall, there are 4 blank type 'mates that have various Transformer logos .....I think that is one of them . I have a set . Shanester would know for sure IF we're on the right track. The 'Thor' in the picture has been bugging me all day since I posted that picture ....WTF is that , even I can't recall ?
-
Yes I own the Aquaman , he was an eBay purchase from "that guy in China" * several years ago . My collection is in dire need of sorting out . I took that picture several years ago & haven't seen either the picture or the 'mates in some time . That Thor (in the pic) is pretty unique as is that 'other guy' with the beard to his left .......if I recall they are both from the *same source.

Check out the Aquaman (top left ) , I have always understood it to be a 'proto' ,if it's not, it is amongst the best customs that I am likely to see.
