TBT!

OK folks sideshow's over, MC has either left the building or is off licking his wounds.

Lets All play nice or I will unleash Judge Rad upon you...

Anyway back on topic, I love Nick Fury & Ultron, Undecided about Angela but even as a huge IM fan that Tony Stark seems like a 'what can we do that wont eat up the parts budget shoe in'.

T.

p.s. That classic ultron mate is still in my top 5 all time minimates.

I saw these in Portland,OR yesterday. Looks like a full case went of the shelves at the Janzen Beach TRU.

This was a surprise as this store seldom gets new mates and when i does it's months after everywhere else.

T.

I go away for a could of days and see what happens... In response to various points. (I'm tired, you guys can figure out which goes with what.)

1) I already have a Luke as Iron Man minimate. (My LTS FrankenMate was very specific in its build.)

2) Does that mean the infamous #24 picture was actually you Luke? - Because you know that means I'm going to have to retroactively disqualify you.

3) Yes, you can see right through it.

4) I'd have gone with Emma frost rather than Phoenix!

5) DinoBot, was that your nickname in highschool?

Sorry for the crappy lighting/cell phone pic, More to come later today.

EDIT: I dont have time to take a lot of pix right now but after pulling them from the trays I have to say I'm impressed with this wave, lots off detail and accessories...

oh and this was a cool surprise... I have no idea if that's the right hair piece as there were a couple in the box!

Should he be bald?

I only say because the same hair pieces are in both the Zemo sets, suggesting an alternate human look for the Nova Corpse.

Thanks for posting!

So, this is a Nova figure after the Annihilation series?

It is from before.

Not sure which was worse the really bad pun or you missing it totally...

T.

Anyone else think Nova unmasked could pass for a Luke minimate head?

T.

Congrats man...

T.

I'm not a big Lego minifig fan but if anyone ends up with one of those 'British policeman' minis that they don't want shoot me a PM.

T.

I just opened some of these and I'm blown away by the attention to detail and quality of these!

I think the battle damaged Lara Croft is one of my all time favourite minimates!

The only downside is the handle broke off the shield for the armored guy as I tried to put it in his hand... anyone else have this issue?

I wasn't even trying to force it, It'll be fine but I'm going to need to superglue it back on.

T.

Wowzers look at all the stuff in that Shield pack!

Sorry for the crappy/light/phone camera combo.

More to px come soon.

As people say too many characters left unmade, so I'm not going to do a catch all wave it's just not possible... I considered putting together a whole wave of just Iron Man suits and villians, or missing Avengers or X-men villians or general MU oddities... but none of them really bring us any real sort of closure.

Instead I'm going to go with a themed wave I want to see and if the line ending, well why not ask for where there is a hole in the line of figures I want?
In this case a themed GotG/ MU space/animals series... with a never going to happen 2 pack thrown in.

Starlord/ Ronan the Accuser

Godkiller Iron Man ( With extra parts for a classic space Armor) / Rocket Raccoon

Rom Spaceknight/ Howard the Duck

Variant: switch Rocket Racoon with Groot.

T.

Did anyone post pix of these yet?

If not I have all but the variant pack and will try to post pix tomorrow.

If not I'll try and get some pix tomorrow and post.

One of the top results when you Google "Ivan Birthday"

From LtR Ivan, Hoe

All Hail Ivan, Greetings and salutations on this special day that you will be birthed into the world!

T.

p.s. I Miss the crazy squirrel avatar!

So I'm going to get this request in early, if any one see's a spare Ironman pack from this wave, I'd be mighty greatful if you'd pick it up for me?

T.

Great photo's guys... I cant wait to get my hands on these.

T.

I swear I'm the only person who had never even heard of Tekken before this line came out.

Really? or are you just Tekken the Piss?

[climbing down off the ledge]

*Best Eric Idle voice* Come on Brian, Cheer up!

I'll admit I wouldn't be heart broken to go back to 4 waves, Released in pairs twice a year, with 1-2 Con exclusives as extras... Those were the good old days when getting everything was possible and buying cases of waves you loved was not out of the norm.

T.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through the game. Sometimes it doesn't feel very Tomb Raider but i'm enjoying it none the less. I hope that for the next one they lean more on the explore/puzzle side and less on the combat.

These minimates look great an I think I'm going to want doubles of Lara, so that I can make a classic Lara!

T.

As everyone has said I'll be sad to see you go, but understand why.

I know you want to quit cold turkey but like Cappy says above, I hope that once you feel safe to do so that perhaps once in a blue moon drop by and say hi and let us know you're ok?

After all it's not actually the minimates that makes this place great, it's the people who come here.

T.

I know places where it is impossible not to find prehistoric fossils as you walk along the beach.

Actually Rob that's just your reflection in the water...

T.

Will he (she) be..........

1. Chinese ?

2. Drag Queen ?

3. Australian ?

4. Canine ?

Given the BBC's love of over compensating for political correctness these days I think it will be a black midget transexual with downsyndrome in a wheelchair... you heard it here first!

T.

I don't know if excited is the right word, my guess is I'll have no idea who it is without googling them and will be "ok lets wait and see how they do".

I liked Smith, but as you say would like someone who brings more.. for want of a better work weight to the role.

The doctor may be popular because he's been cast as a younger actor but I feel he's losing something in the process.

T.

shapeways helped

Some nice sculpting going on there, I think the whole 3D printing industry is going to revolutionize the way people view customizing.

Two questions,

1) Can others order those parts?

2) How much Do they cost?

T.

IMO It's a tricky line to walk with the pictures.

I would agree that we should respect DSTs request and I'd If been at the show I would have not taken pictures.

If Zach asked us to take them down we probably would.

However once the horse has bolted there's no point in shutting the stable door, these pictures are out in the wild and given that this happens saved on a bunch of hard drives.
