Very cool! I've been waiting for somebody to post pics of this to see if the scale would work. Thanks. I'll be picking one of these up ASAP! Good job.

Although I really dont need anymore Cylons (I already have a dozen) this set still sounds pretty cool. Im down for a set.

Thoughts?

T.

I'm sold... I just picked up an extra from eBay so I can do this. Great job.

Remember the episode where Kirk was traped "out of phase" and kept showing up as a ghost in that silver space suit? That would make a sweet Minimate...

I'm still waiting for my Zombie Im/BP 2pack to ship from AFX so I guess these guys will be showing up late too grrrrr...

Danzig!

We'll need the rest of The Misfits too

Oh Hell yes! I've actually been trying to piece together spare parts (with a minimum of sculpting. Reason #138 why I needed that Ghost Rider Movie wave to happen...that leather jacket for Jerry Only!) to customize the "original" Misfits. Great Danzig btw! Another visually-interesting band in mate-form would be GWAR. While I sincerely doubt that any of this would actually happen, it is fun to think about.

I think Marty from BttF comes with a leather jacket. Need the guitars from the BttF minis too. Doyle should be pretty easy to pull off with Namor a little paint and a little epoxy sculpt. As for drummers I'd go with Mr. Jim the first drummer, because he works with a friend of mine and hes a hell of a nice guy.

They gotta make Migs! And he should come with his famous "accessory"

I got mine on eBay for like 15 bucks I think

For me its a tie between Dr. Strange and Thor. Loki and Super Skrull are might sweet as well.

Danzig!

We'll need the rest of The Misfits too

Although Escape from NY and Bond would be my most wanted from MGM, The Silence of the Lambs would be cool. I can only imagine the accessories Buffalo Bill would come with! A moth, skin lotion, lipstick, an open robe?

Anybody know when AFX will be shipping these?

I'd love to see Lt. Arex as well as Lt. M'Ress from the animated series in a two pack. We need Mirror/Mirror Spock and Kirk. Also a Romulin/Andorian two pack... Oh yes, and Space Lincoln. After that I'd like to move on to TNG and DS9

I put a red hand on mine and after a little tlc I can move the shield around. Just dont force it.

Well over on the DST myspace blog they have it listed on whats shipping this week

Sweet I'm really looking forward to the BP/IM box. I ordered mine from AFX, how long ya think before they ship 'em?

This gives me hope for a Lockjaw minimate in an Inhumans pack possibly.

ok, ok, I'll take my butt back to the marvel forums...

I think the standard size mate like the daggit would make a mighty small Lockjaw. The DC 2.5's cold be good custom fodder for him though.

Merry Christmas everybody!

PS

Great picks! I love the Venom and Namor shots!

I hope we get these two in either an exclucive 2-pack or as part of a larger wave that includes some aliens. Otherwise I'd rather move on to TNG.

Something that's always bugged me about classic BSG is what exactly the Cylons were? I was under the impression they were cyborgs, check out the Imperious Leader, the dude's got hair and looks sort of reptilian. Lucifer looks like he's got a brain sitting under his pointy dome. So were they cyborgs, or just robots with delusions of grandeur?

According to a friend of mine who is a staunch Original BSG fan The Cylon’s were a reptilian race when the story was first written in a book by Robert Thurston as a sort of "Three Musketeers in space". Thurston happened to be one of my friends college professors. When the story was shopped to (I think) NBC, they didn’t want the heroes killing living creatures in every episode so they changed the Cylon’s to robots. The fleeting glimpse we got of Imperious Leader was a nod to the original story. That is the story as it has been told to me for whatever thats worth. So think of it as the robots were designed to fight for the reptiles that eventually died off or were killed off by their own creations.

Im looking forward to Baltar... He was such a queen

no, i'm in jersey and we had them, but the distribution is really spotty. i have 2 fyes and a suncoast in my mall and only one of them got the mates

Where in NJ are you? I'm in central NJ so anywhere in the state is striking distance for me. What store did you find them in?

the willowbrook mall on rt. 46 the second floor fye next to the t-mobile store and bath and bodyworks. that was friday though, so i don't know if they are sold out by now

Awesome! I work in Wayne 5 mins from there!

o wow, thats not far at all, let me know if you find more, my sister's bf wants one now

FYE had about five Scarlet/Hobby packs on the pegs after I took one. They also had about three of the 24 2-pack. Suncoast had a ton of Minimates including about 5 Cylon 5-packs. I thought those were suppose to be rare...

I checked my local FYE on my way home from work tonight. Nada. Have these been seen on the east coast?

I think I got the bad Uhura from the mirror universe 'cause shes commando!

Sometimes a little clear nail polish on the ball side of the ball and socket joint will fix that
