Still haven't seen anything past Wave 1 in the wild but managed to deal one of these. Wanted to see what he looked like on a slimmer body.

Happy birthday!

I don't even really consider it a redo if it's a pre-2009 Minimate.

1. Death's Head 2. Toad 3. Mindless Ones 4. Fin Fang Foom 5. Groot 6. Night Thrasher 7. Speedball 8. Eternity 9. Volstagg 10. Batroc

Peeps!

Wow, I'm jealous! I'm lucky to find one or two people that share my collecting interests so it's really cool that you have such a large group with so much talent. You guys do a phenomenal job with your displays! I can tell a lot of effort was put into this.

Not sure where to post this but before the site upgrade it was mentioned we would be getting another Warpath this year, presumably the Greg Capullo X-Force version. Is he still on the plans?

Dire Wraiths are a 100% Marvel creation but I can see DST staying away from them right now. Trademarks are messy and it's easier to just avoid that kind of stuff. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/05/18/hasbro-trademarks-dire-wraiths-for-comics-will-marvel-comics-challenge-it/ The only one on the list I have no interest in is HAMMER agents. If Doctor Strange performs well, Mindless Ones could be a possibility. They've definitely got the visual coolness factor.

Some more detailed thoughts: Lady Deathstrike – I still need a Deathstrike. She’s one of those older ‘Mates that I was on the fence about buying. I don’t collect the older stuff but I make exceptions if they are someone who’s odds of getting an update are slim (see also Silver Sable, Firestar). I’m pleasantly surprised to see she’s getting revisited here. I’m also glad I didn’t pick up the older one. Weapon X – I liked the one we got years ago but I realize this is what everyone wants from a Weapon X. Fun fact: Weapon X was the very first X-Men toy I ever bought back in 1993 at the whopping inflated comic store price of $9.99. I’m here today thanks to that figure. I like how we’re slowly chipping away at Minimate versions of all the old ToyBiz figures. Mojo – Wow, just wow. He looks exactly how I pictured he would. The clear stand in the center is a good design choice. I can’t wait to see how he looks from other angles and it’s going to be interesting to see how he fits in the packaging. I realize he’s probably costing over budget but it would be really neat if he got one of those flat screen TV’s from the Jessica Jones set. Mojo is proof that there really aren’t limits to what you can do with Minimates today. Mojo was an option back when we did the Wave 50 poll, who do we still have left from that? Spiral – I’m a huge Spiral fan and it’s cool we have more characters from Longshot’s mythos. She’s actually someone we could add to our Brotherhood/Freedom Force ranks too. It doesn’t look like she has the Six-Armed Spider-Man piece because I don’t see the part that clips around the waist and neck. Spiral just plain looks cool and I hope she gets swords and a teleport base. Arrow Wolverine – Definitely a unique variant on a design we’ve seen many times. Depending on the quality of the plastic, this one looks like it could be fragile. Can’t wait to see how the actual figure comes out. Silver Samurai – Another major player to cross off the wish lists. I always dug his character design going way back to the ToyBiz days. If he gets a hairpiece it will be interesting to see if it’s like the old ToyBiz figure or if he gets a top knot. Puffy sleeves are a good design choice. Hand Ninja – I’m cool with re-doing army builders every now and then to add some variety. These look to be an improvement over the original. Can’t wait to take pictures of 20 of these guys beating up Daredevil. Tactical Gear Wolverine – I’m a big fan of the Larry Hama era of Wolverine so it’s cool to see specific designs based on his stories. Magneto – I’m not the target audience for this kind of stuff but he is requested often so cool for those who were asking for him.

I'm in love. Mojo and Spiral. Let me repeat: MOJO and SPIRAL!!!

That's surreal because as a kid I remember having a wrestling company with my Turtles figures. I used Detective Donatello as Paul Bearer and he had his own Funeral Parlor where he would interview the other turtles. My "wrestling" toys interviewed each other, they didnt wrestle. Yeah, I was a weird kid.

MOST WANTED on the packaging is an awesome touch! Hopefully we'll see it on future series as well

Wow, I lost a lot of stuff in this thread....

That's not technically the Storm I was dispalying Seriously, nice work on that AOA custom! And you got the chronological placement right, lol. Very "official" handling of parts re-use too. Great work!

Storm Through The Ages

Running joke Turk Barrett is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

I have pizza, beer and a couch so I'm ready to pretty much give up on life this weekend One episode in and I'm loving this. I look forward to these shows more than the movies now.

Zach, I have been helped for one of the sets and I'm grateful to the board for that. Still looking for the Man-Thing/Spider-whatever pack. I kind of wish I didn't have to ask the board for help since I have three of these stores in my immediate area, four if I wanna drive a half hour. If anything I should be helping other people but unless they want Wave one leftovers, that ain't happening.

I've got an extra Deadpool for trade if anyone has anything from my wants list.

Speed Demon and Spectrum can both pass for comic versions. Sadly, due to Walgreen's total incompetence I won't be able to buy them.

I feel the same way about Iceman that a lot of you feel about Colossus. I just don't think DST has quite nailed it yet despite several tries. My ideal Iceman would be the one from the early 300's of Uncanny. The second 90's ToyBiz Iceman figure from the Invasion Series? That's exactly what I want just scaled down to a Minimate. You can even get two figures out of it by removing the giant hands and spikes to get a Jim Lee style Iceman.

Did these hit near you? No luck in this county.

Is anybody attending this year? I was planning on it but the ticket buying process was... not good.

Just the Man-Thing set.
