It's Chainz from DOA!

They actually look better than I was expecting, I'm sure I'll be getting some of these.

I guess I'll be the old guy that doesn't get it. I've watched some episodes, read the first comic tpb, even tried to have my daughter explain what I'm missing. Just not for me I guess, can't quite pinpoint why though.

It made me dizzy watching it!

Meant for the Super Hero Squad sized Scooby figures, so works pretty well for minimates. I think with all the skulls and maybe a good paintjob it'd work as a tower for Thanos.

The Scooby Doo Crystal Cove Fright House is $9 at Toys R Us today (in stores only I think).

Have a couple different ideas to repurpose that, or might just use it for my Universal Monsters minimates.

PANDAPOOL

The Deadpool Kills Deadpool series gives us all sorts of options!

Link has the concept art and everything.

Wow, very surprised (and happy, old Image fanboy here) to get Angela this quick!

Lately, I've backed off the big 2 publishers, and have been picking up Archie comics here and there. Then I wanted some sort of figures, and there's not much out there. Some bendies, some Burger King toys, and a bunch of dolls. Minimates would work! A couple waves or boxed sets would get me all the characters I want, but I'd be in for the more obscure characters also.

Then you could also do Afterlife with Archie as a boxed set and maybe something with the MLJ/Archie Heroes.

I went to a G.I. Joe show in New Orleans once. Ate dinner with Sgt. Slaughter. True story.

I went to that one too, that was back when I was doing a LOT of work for YoJoe.com. After we checked in to the hotel, we went to the elevators, the doors opened, and there he was... THE SARGE! I melted a little, big wrestling and Joe fan as a kid. We also saw him walking down Bourbon street.

Didn't get to eat dinner with him though

They're deliberately holding this series back until my $5 coupon expires Thursday.

ToysRUs.com currently has a 15% off your entire purchase coupon (either in store or online) also. That expires on the 17th.

So does whoever find them keep the quarters in the jar?

Because...

I got nothing.

[clink] Also deposits dollar in the d-bag jar.

Got mine yesterday, definitely ordering a 2nd set! The Phonics-Killer armor seems sturdier than the previous Iron Man.

Bring on Hulkpool!

I also picked up the 3 packs with mystery figures and here are the mystery figures (they are not random, the inner packaging show the mystery figure on paperwork)...

The Fire Mario and Hammer Bro set came with a Bob-omb
Gold Mario and Fire Luigi came with a gold Bullet Bill
Boomerang Mario and Koopa Troopa came with a Boomerang Flower

The new wave is out, thanks to a post on RTM, here are the codes...

Mario first digit underlined
Wario second digit underlined
Peach third digit underlined
Dry Bones fourth digit underlined
Koopa fifth digit underlined
Shy Guy sixth digit underlined
Boo last digit underlined
Daisy first digit double underlined

The buy one, get one 50% off sale is going on currently also.

I wasn't really excited about a TENTH Deadpool Funko Pop, but the Metallic Deadpool is really sharp! Ordered from Gemini Collectibles on Thursday, arrived in my mailbox today, and didn't haven't to pay all that much more than cost. Very happy about that purchase.

Looks like a retailer with advance access to PREVIEWS listings. The solicitations seem to come out earlier and earlier each month (most comic stuff came out earlier this week). The PREVIEWS site looks like it'll be updated today.

THE RUNNING MAN!

Saw a little bit of it on TV today. Could get a couple boxed sets out of that one. Or it'd make a nice custom project for someone with some talent!

I'm working on the Jim Lee inner gatefold of X-Men 1 with Minimates! Once X-Factor is announced (fingers crossed) I'll be building my display.

Personally, I am forming the X-Men 1 gatefold cover in all affordable scales, and I was first to accomplish this in minimates. I entered a cover recreation contest years back. What I still lack are the following:

Some of the new sets are hitting toysrus.com...

Going to have to start looking for these!

Leonardo Leonardo and Mr. Plug. Smoking Monkey and the Kid in the Helmet. Also Driving Bear and Car!

Also, make them twice the size with no articulation so they fit in my Inaction Figure collection.

Please and thank you.

I've been waiting for someone (either DST or Hasbro) to do a Major Victory with their Captain America figures. Or a Vance Astro minimate with shield and a blue cape and different head/hair for Marvel Boy. Maybe with the GotG merchandise push.

more pics. Dogpool!

EDIT - Not announced in the first round of Hasbro SDCC exclusives, so maybe not!

Numbers off the receipt, matches the UPCS...

699788726341 Glenn/Vest Zombie

699788726334 Carol/Pole Zombie

699788726310 Riot Gear Rick/Guard Zombie

SDCC set? Good for me, but I don't see this as a very in demand set. Minimates was WAY closer to being timely, these are just way too late.
