I used to have clear favorites, but now it's harder for me to nail them down. And I'm not sure picking one is possible. But my short list would include Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Aliens, Miller's Crossing, the Maltese Falcon, A History of Violence, and the Big Lebowski. I'm still waiting for a comic movie to break into this list.

Technically A History of Violence is a comic book movie. My current top five are Good Will Hunting, Slumdog Millionaire, The Avengers, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Goonies.

I think that the qc today is a lot better than it was two years ago. Take a look at the minimates for Thor and Captain America movies compared to those of the Avenges or Iron Man 2 vs Iron Man 3. I sometimes wish that they would go back and redo some of the ones that were really bad but overall I am happy with the quality that we are getting now.

I argued that the Williams fanfare is like the Bond theme, that it should be somewhere in the score even if only at the very end. That opinion was drowned out by Hans Zimmers' amazing percussion. This is my new favorite superhero soundtrack.

I agree completely. I listened to this while doing the dishes yesterday and it made that terrible task less mundane and more epic.

I'm not a big Star Trek fan. I like the recent movies more than any version of the TV shows, but omg these Minimates are fantastic. The designs are great and they are packed with aaccessories. Way to go DST!

Yes please, with in-scale schooner 3D picture!

you dumb bastard. it's not a schooner, it's a sailboat.

I doubt they have it in theatres in 2015. There is so much that has to go into this movie. One of the things that allowed The Avengers to happen is that most of the exposition of the characters took place in the other movies and when they finally came together it was time for all out action. I don't want to meet a new Batman in the Justice League movie.

I went and preordered my PS4 a couple days ago. I don't care about the always online part of the Xbox1 but the no used games is a total deal breaker for me.

Just saw it. It was very good. Pure spectacle. Superman done right.

I know that guy.

One of the con exclusives is indeed X-related, as is an upcoming retailer exclusive pack we haven't announced.

But unless there's a big event connected with an anniversary, like a movie about Wolverine or something, I can't see any real impetus for us to coincide with it.

Nice

I got them today but I have run into a greater problem. All of my other zombies from previous releases were in the same ziploc bag and they are now missing. Somewhere in my home is a hoard of zombies waiting for me to lower my guard.

movie... fell flat. :-/

I agree.

but will it live up to the hype?!

Very little does.

UPC numbers:

Mark 42 & Mandarin 699788811726

Iron Patriot & Extremis Soldier 699788811733

Heartbreaker & Tony Stark 699788811740

Silver Centurion & Skeleton Armor 699788811757

The info on the case breakdown is legit unless this case was an aberration. There were 12 on the peg and 3 of all the exclusives.

I grabbed these today in Warner Robbins, Ga and the case seems to be an even 3-3-3-3 split.

Hey Luke, would you be so kind as to take a couple pictures of the Tru Mark 42 next to the LCS 42?

Star Wars. Disney owns them and Disney seems to see the potential in Minimates.

I think the accessories are average.

- All of the Tony armors come with removable helmets and hair pieces. Most have different faces. The Mark 42 has the second helmet with face plate.

- WM/IP's mini-gun is removable, and there is a second head.

- Tony Stark comes with removable boots and gauntlets

- Cowboy Tony has a removable hat and extra arms to remove the coat.

- Maya has a purse.

- Aldrich has that bangin' necktie.

- Extremis Soldier has second hair piece, removable vest and pistol with holster

- Mandarin has an optional beard and a pistol.

Oh, and they all come with small clear bases. They're behind each figure.

Awesome. Thanks Zach,

What happens on May 8th?

Iron Man 3 Minimates hit stores.

I was afraid of that

I want to put together a QC Colossus but I would like to see if the colors match up before I proceed to hunt down all the pieces. So if one of you guys has all the parts and could throw it together, snap some pictures, then toss them up here I'd appreciate it.

If any can do it thank you so much.

We're all screwed now that he has hit his terrible twos. Happy birthday.

Well apparently mine came in the mail a couple weeks ago but it was intercepted by my wife who decided that it would have to wait until my birthday since it was a birthday gift. Thank you to my gifter it was awesome. My wife particularly loved the card and the kids practically mugged me for the sweets so on behalf of my whole family thank you.

Thanks guys. I had a pretty good one.

You should extend it to Toilet Humor Month!
