It looks like that's what I'll have to do.  I was hoping to not have to deal with more surplus minimates.

Let me know if you find out. I'm at the desperation point of using menagerie....

Even menagerie doesn't have an option to buy that set alone.

Anyone know where a guy can find the Groot/Rocket pack?  The IW minimates are really growing on me, and I haven't been able to find that set anywhere other than Luke's (sold out).  A couple of other stores have it available with the rest of the wave only, and I'm not interested in buying repeats. 

Fwiw, they are specifically Mandarin collars.

Hey, that looks like a new War Machine!

I should have put a winking face or something in there to indicate I was joking.

Could cereal mates be the returning line?

You guys have got me wishing for some Gen-X mates.  Like, right after we get X-Factor.

We absolutely need a War Machine.

War Machine MK4 would be cool.  I'm not expecting DST to spend the money on new sculpted parts though.  To be fair, except for the reactor, marks 2, 3, and 4 all look pretty similar imo.  If these were high end products, maybe, but for cheap block toys, good enough is good enough.  

I think anyone that deals with pre-teens and teens can tell you the distinction is not without a difference.

At any rate, that new design for Behemoth-buster Ferrous Man would be cool to see in Punypal form.

HAHAHA what?! 

In IM2, the palms of Justin Hammer's hands are badly stained with self tanner.  A pretty hilarious detail to me.

At this point I feel like DST is trolling me with these not being made...

I definitely feel like it's personal.

That show is brilliant, and now my Grail is a mahogany Falcon prototype.  Those are beautiful.

I'd be down with another Justin Hammer if he came with awful spray tan hands.

AFMcGill, chill.  No need to bring an attitude like that.

We've got Magneto, and Cyclops is coming, but I think Magik and Emma may be long shots.

Can't help feeling that the missing members of X-Force (pick your incarnation, they're all incomplete) are long shots as well. 

And, oh yeah, 90's X-Factor!

So it'll be an all new, all different Marvel now?  Works every time.  Yawn.

I love that Cyclops.

This thread has definitely resurrected my interest in Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove.

I've always loved that Captain Britain look.

I get it now.  I've always enjoyed Thor, but some of the details on the minimates just escape my eye.  We've gotten pretty close, but still not quite there.

but we still need a definitive Thor

I'm curious about what a definitive Thor would be for you.  The Stormbreaker version, Greatest Hits version, TRU 12/First Appearance version, and the Wave 44 beardless version all strike me as great, definitive classic versions.

Spider-Man in his academic decathlon jacket with Ned. 

I'm not collecting minimates, but I would totally buy that set.

At first glance I thought the alternate Hela head looked like Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

How forceful you are, Hulk.  Such a perfect specimen of manhood.  So... Dominant.

I ran across these yesterday at Walgreens.  I'm not collecting anymore, but these looked great and definitely had me tempted.  Other than the Tommy Wiseau 'mate, they all look killer.
