  1. Two of the Walgreens were Duane Reade stores. It's just easier to refer to them all as Walgreens.
  2. I've never seen movie mates in my area of Brooklyn. I have 4 Walgreens in walking distance plus a few close to where some friends live and they never got movie mate either. Bizarre distribution plans.
  3. Hot toys has a reveal of the iron man’s new armor http://www.hottoys.com.hk/productDetail.php?productID=669

    wave 79

    I will co-sign any reason for a Binary figure. X-Men 171 was the first comic I ever bought. Seeing Carol punch Rogue in orbit (and having no idea what was going on) solidified the character for me. Unique and visually stunning. Totally neglected by the toy market.
  5. I would be ok with this. I am not a fan of "one-off" costumes and I prefer iconic looks. My biggest problem with the MCU is the minor variations in looks between films. I stopped buying some figures, even of my favorite characters (like Dr. Strange) because there were no discernible differences between them, other than a slightly different face. I'd have to be really convinced to buy these figures if this is the only appearance of the quantum-zone costumes.

    wave 79

    now I want a gold Valkyrie
  7. Even if legally allowed and litigation avoided, I'm sure Marvel would be pissed off enough to pull all contracts. Legality is not always the litmus test of good business relations. One should also consider the politics of the relationship. That being said, IMHO, as much as I appreciate Stan Lee, I am not exactly clamoring for a minimate.
  8. Hepzibah has a cool look. Or had, before she was made to look more like a cat.

  10. Given all the hype around the Captain Marvel movie, I this it would be the perfect opportunity to release a Binary figure.
  11. Gotta say, I know it stirred a lot of controversy when first shown but I really love these green costumes. They are very sleek and the accessories are awesome. Also, they make better looking Green Lanterns than the Green Lanterns Corp. I need a little green army!
  12. I was going for The Gardener. It was either him or the In-Betweener. I couldn’t think of a cheap pun for the other guy.
  13. Got my Mahkizmo figure with Reed Richards backdrop yesterday. Excellent work! That hint, though... way to "sow some seeds" of intrigue. "Planting" any other hints soon?
  14. accidentally typed in Walmart instead of Walgreens today to search for mates. They seem to have links to a lot of older sets, in case anyone is looking to fill holes in their collection. If anyone is interested https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=0&query=minimates
  15. It's The Stranger. He's a cosmic character from the 1960's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_(comics)
  16. Thanks! I thought of using Marvel Girl and then realized that I am terrible at painting ?
  17. I picked up a gold paint pen at Michael’s a while ago. It is a thin pen with a black case. It is old so the label rubbed off. Sorry.
  18. Finally got wave 76 and worked on some quick customs: Aleta Ogord and Meteorite (which, I admit, is a stretch) and two DC mates we will likely never see: Huntress and Orphan anyone have any suggestions about changing the orientation of these pics? the originals are not sideways.
  19. Went to three Walgreens (all both within about 2 blocks of each other) during their restock times and watch the staff fill the pegs with...Wave 8 They all said that they did not have any others in stock. And for those of you who stated that your stores have 2 pegs (one for animated and one for comic waves), I have never seen this. All of the Walgreens that I have visited in NY seem to display 4 mates at a time on one peg. It varies between movie and comic waves.
