  1. Another thread that mentions the Falcon. Arghhhhhhh... I just want Snap Wilson aka the Falcon. Can we get some kind of write in campaign or something?

    Captain America

    Falcon

    Modok

    Red Skull

    That would be a great set. Did I mention the FALCON?

    Hey DST listen to this guy!!!!

    Thanks for the support

  2. Any minimates are good news for me especially if they are Marvel based. The punisher is awesome and I will purchase this quickly. Considering that we pay about $20 for each box set, it is worth it for me if we get a kick-butt Punisher with big guns. I would probably pay this much just for the one figure so the rest are just bonus. Honestly, going to the movie and buying popcorn and snacks will probably cost me more than $20.

  3. man, i loved that toy line, a few years back i bought practically every figure and set that came out from it for $300, it was awesome, i just never got the foreign release figures tho

    Iceman, Electro, and Constrictor are certainly amongst my "grails". I'm always hoping to find some tucked away in an obscure lot in some badly titled eBay auction :) .

    I too was a fan of the Secret Wars. Sadly, I never had the Falcon. I do have him in Marvel Legends, Marvel Gold, Mego, and Famous Covers. The Famous Covers version was awesome. Now just give me him in 'mate form!!!

  4. I just read the thread about starting sports mates. How about American Gladiator mates? That would rock!!! Each pack could contain a gladiator and a contender. There could even be playsets for the different events. We could even get a variant Hulk Hogan announcer. I know that Jakks Pacific is going to be making action figures but this would be completely different. Just a thought.

  5. I was telling my wife the other night,

    I have to ask, did you get the obligatory 'invisible eye-roll' that I just assume I am always getting when I mention anything toy related to my wife? It's usually followed by 'Oh, really. That's interesting.', which I know she is always lying about.

    And yes, I think the Beast was the best of the little news we got. Of course, I'm still hoping for him in an original X-Men boxset sometime.

    You told your wife??? Mine has no idea of the extent of what I have in minimate form let alone how much I have spent on them over the last three years. You are braver than I am.

  6. I know this would never happen but I would like to see DC try some new ideas

  7. I would agree with most of you that Wolvie is likely the next two sets. My hope is a movie set like mentioned numerous times in this thread but also a more comic based Wolvie set. My ultimate wish-

    Guardian/Puck

    Wolverine/Sasquatch

    Snowbird/Northstar

    variant

    Vindicator (Heather)/Puck

    or

    Snowbird/Aurora

  8. I don't know about anyone else but the best news for me was the Beast figure debuting at SDCC. While he is not my favorite character (or even X-Man) I was pumped because we were getting the last piece for the original X-Men team. I don't count the Sheepdog version released previously. I couldn't wait to see what he would look like without the Skrull face so I used the paint program to quench my curiosity. Enjoy.

  9. I just got back from seeing Hancock with Will Smith. As I sat in the movie I couldn't help wondering about how cool it would be to get these in minimate format.

    Hancock(bum)/Ray

    Hancock(superhero)/Mary

    Police Chief/Red (removable claw hand)

    variant Super Mary (black dress)

    It was a good movie and the minimates would be cool too bad it won't ever happen.

  10. My Vote goes to the one that will never happen. ALPHA FLIGHT-

    Guardian

    Aurora

    Shaman

    Puck

    I can't see us getting a Sasquatch unless they used some form of the new Hulk minimates to bulk up the character. The Penguin from the DC sets could be used for Puck. Maybe we could get Northstar for those who are more politically correct.

  11. I too am a family man. I actually use a mileage check that I get from work to support my mini-habit. No one knows how much I actually spend on these things and it is probably a good thing. I share your pain, I was going to quit after I got a few marvel sets, then after some of the c3 sets, then dc, now battlestar...etc. I do have to admit that I would sell my blood before my mini's

  12. Here is another weird connection- wiki . In the movie, the leader of the rebel army (Raza) mentions ghangis khan and the way he conquered with the bow and arrow. I thought that they were making reference to Mandarin. Check out the first line of the link

  13. I will never forget it because I was on vacation, I picked up a Spiderman/Carnage 2-pack from the initial waves for $6.99. I got violently ill and spent two days in bed. I don't think it was the mates though. The next one was Daredevil from ebay for around $5. DD was the last MM I was going to purchase by the way. I think that I have over 200 now, who knew?
