TM2 Dinobot Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I was just about to post that, Luke. TBH, it's not the face. They're almost identical. I do like Luke's vest more. I'd be interested to see if DST cheaped out and didn't tampo under his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Excuse my ignorance but who is the Thing looking character with the conehead? Alien race known as the Kronans, also known as the Stone Men from Saturn. They tried to invade Earth in the first Thor story, and were driven away. They'll be your army builder for Wave 42, and a nice nod to old-time comic fans. Recently, a member of their race - Korg - was part of the Planet Hulk story and a member of Hulk's Warbound group. Thanks! Now that you mention the Planet Hulk I remember those guys from the animated movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Is that a re-use chest piece? Where's it from? And I'm hoping that Crossbones may have his old-school shirt on underneath the chest piece.

Turtle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I thought at first a bit to much Thor but the more I look at them the more I like them. Zola is the out and out winner for me though. Each and every Thor is a keeper. My only complaint, with all these Thors, no Frog Thor. Zola and Crossbones are both much needed additions. That civil war Cap, is the helmet accurate? I don't remember him wearing that helmet then. Or was that just a mistake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Regarding this video that Smashmaster posted, it looks like we are getting some type of Deluxe Warthog with multiple 'mates, jump to the :53 second mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) So can anyone lay out at this point the lineup for wave 42 and TRU wave 12? I will get this right yet. I promise. TRU Wave 12: WWII Captain America & Arnim Zola Armored Thor & Beta Ray Bill Secret War Captain America & Crossbones (TRU exclusive) Kirby Thor & Balder the Brave (TRU exclusive) Wave 42: WWII Captain America & Arnim Zola Armored Thor & Beta Ray Bill Eric Masterson Thor & Stone Man (army-builder) Thunderstrike & Stone Man (army-builder) Edited July 21, 2011 by boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wait... how is that Civil War Cap????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) anyone else gonna comment on that AWESOME holgram master chief is holding?? i cant wait for the next next halo series! So we can have a Cortana within a Cortana?? Cortception?? Glad to see Halo is still chugging along, i was getting worried. Wave 42 looks okay, but Secret Wars Cap and the 90s Thors are my biggest wants. Really hoping we see more Marvel soon; i get DST's new stance on doing less at cons since Marvel is well-along by now, but we really need to see more than a wave IMO.

boyd Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Wait... how is that Civil War Cap????? Good point - I just copied & pasted the list from the TRU Wave 12 thread. Now that we've seen it, It should be Secret War Cap - gonna go make the edit.

luke314pi Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wait... how is that Civil War Cap????? I think it is supposed to be Secret War Captain America (the 2006 series). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It is 'sposed to be from the 2006 mini series. "Secret War"... not "Secret WarS". Seeing that snazzy Kirby Balder the Brave makes me triply disappointed at no comic Warriors 3 or Heimdall. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wait... how is that Civil War Cap????? I think it is supposed to be Secret War Captain America (the 2006 series). Ah, ok, thanks! Then what exactly is the one in leather jacket named? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) ok the one in the jacket is what steve wears while on his bike, not sure why its called civil war cap the black and red one is from the Secret War mini series back in 06 oooh and i hope those new Monster figures (invisible man, phantom of the opera, alien thingy and what looks like it could be igor) get made into minimates Edited July 21, 2011 by undeadpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) The Cap in leather jacket and helmet is World War 2 Cap, not another Secret War Cap. Had to go look it up on Diamond's Facebook page to make sure. I will get the list right, I swear. Also from Diamond's Facebook page - someone asked if they would be showing more than they revealed at Preview Night. Their response: Yes. We'll show new stuff at the panel on Saturday but it won't make it onto the floor afterwards. Edited July 21, 2011 by boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I love DST. They respond to you on FB, and they make awesome figures, and their character selection is glorious. Can't wait for these new ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm so crazy excited for that Thunderstrike it's kind of embarrassing. I can't wait for september (but more likely October) to get here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Anyone else notice that Diamond was showing off wave 3 of their Universal Monster action figures? They're making the Phantom of the Opera, Invisible Man & Metaluna Mutant. I would love it if those characters also became Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Okay, don't we already have a Thunderstrike? And wasn't a he variant released not so long ago? And DST is re-releasing another variant? AGAIN?! Frack. You. Seriously, DST. You guys suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 TM2 we have never gotten a thunderstrike minimate, and the bearded thor was maybe 3 or 4 years ago and is in desperate need of an update to look presentable next to the disney set thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 ok the one in the jacket is what steve wears while on his bike, not sure why its called civil war cap the black and red one is from the Secret War mini series back in 06 Thanks for clearing that up. Shame we're getting another irrelevant variant when we could have gotten Modern Super Soldier Steve or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
