groundhog7s Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I know this is typical me, but Lady Deadpool isn't very hot... In fact, she looks very manly. Well, I guess she is pretty flat-chested... And using yb's logic, I now want a Gideon mate to justify a Great Lakes Avengers. Or I'd even take a Gideon 2-pack if it was with Squirrel Girl.

fwoosheyman Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 The quality of the minimates doesn't seem that good (reminds me of Thor movie-mates) but the designs are awesome. Kidpool's lightsabers are especially well done. I might buy a few extra MvC Deadpools and switch out the legs, since shades of red appear to be very similiar.

TM2 Dinobot Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Isn't Jarvis a computer? How would you package that? But I could totally go for a Squirrel Girl. *gasp!* Squirrel Girl/Miss Martian dream 2 pack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I could totally go for a Squirrel Girl. *gasp!* Squirrel Girl/Miss Martian dream 2 pack! Jarvis' character is human in the comics although in the IM movie it's a computer . I dread having to say 'Squirrel Girl' because it sounds like 'Skwerlgerl' with my accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Movie-verse and EMH-verse J.A.R.V.I.S. (Just A Rather Very Inteligent System) is a computer system. In most comics, Edwin Jarvis was the butler for the Stark's who started working for them before Howard and Maria's death. He continued to serve as the head of the New York mansions staff even while Tony moved out to go to college and never really came back to the house. Jarvis was the only member of the staff willing to stay on after Tony turned the Mansion over to the Avegners at thier first official meetings. He has served continuously for every East Coast branch of the Avengers since, maintaining their headquarters. cooking for them, cleaning up after them, and generally helping in any way he can. The only two exceptions being when he was injured following being tortured my Mr. Hyde during the Masters of Evil takeover of the mansion, and the period he was replaced by a Skrull. Jarvis has been a close and friend and confidant to many members of the team, including Hawkeye (who he helped convince to give up crime and join the team), Captain America (Jarvis was Cap's only real confidant when Steve first awakened), the Vision (the shared an interest in literature and chess), and of course Tony Stark (the view each other like family, more like Uncle/Nephew). Check out Avengers v1. #280 as a standout Jarvis issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Since it's kind of come up, once Kang gets made I'm staking claim to Squirrel Girl as the next figure that DST won't make, but needs to. Just sayin'. I will be what Lee Burns is for a Marvel Select Flash Thompson Venom for a Squirrel Girl Minimate. Ah, Squirrel Girl...

hellpop Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) I think Marvel has overestimated Deadpool's popularity a bit; he's more of a cult character, on the level of, say Ghost Rider, then Wolverine. He's proven he's got an audience, but the 4-5 monthly titles Marvel was publishing with him a year or so ago was a bit much. Of course, Marvel loves to flood the market, lest they allow retailers to have any money to spend on other companies' titles. That said, I've got no problem with this set. THIS is what an exclusive should be: those that don't care don't feel like they have to jump through hoops for these, and fans of the property are just glad to get characters they probably wouldn't have seen at retail. So, kudos. I'm surprised more isn't being made of those accessories. Y'all saw the LIGHT SABRES, right? Can't you think of anything you might want to do with Minimate light sabres?

TENIME_art Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Love you, Zach. On the topic of painted vs. cast pieces...as a customizer, I prefer cast. That way, I can remove details while keeping the base. If the whole thing is painted, I'm screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yup! That's some pretty great looking packaging. Love the tacked on Polaroid of DP covering Spidey's face. I may not be a big fan of the set, but that packaging is a WIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 gotta admit - despite my ambivalence about Deadpool, this is a pretty decent looking set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawcanada Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I think I may pass on the Deadpool box set, but then again the hood from Kidpool combined with a spare Nightcrawler minimate might allow me to make a certain Vampire-turned-Wrath...

DSTZach Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) I wrote a Headpool bio at the last minute, but I guess they didn't have time to add it. Here's the text, and I think it's pretty accurate. (And I'll let the "inaccurate" dis slide, since I wasn't writing the packaging copy until a few months ago -- although Marvel has ALWAYS approved our text, as far as I know; they certainly took me to task on my lack of Age of X knowledge): Deadpool Wade Wilson, the merc with a mouth, is good at three things: violence, not dying and being a bit funny in the head. So when he was found to be the only one immune to the consciousness-destroying Awareness, he had to team up with his alternate-reality counterparts to form... The Deadpool Corps! Lady Deadpool An alternate-reality Deadpool from Earth-3010, Wanda was a rebel, fighting against a fascist American government spearheaded by General America. In addition to Deadpool's slippery brain, she also possesses his deadly abilities with pretty much any weapon known to man. Championpool Born shortly after the Big Bang, the Champion has fought thousands of aliens on thousands of worlds, mastering every form of combat in the galaxy, and has become virtually unbeatable. So when he found out the comically ragtag Deadpool Corps was going to save the universe, he wanted in. Kidpool On Earth-10330, young Wade Wilson was a student at the Xavier Orphange for troubled boys along with young versions of Cyclops and Wolverine. Recruited by our Deadpool to save the universe, he brought along a pair of energy swords he stole from his reality's Danger Room. Headpool
 Headpool is Deadpool's disembodied head from an alternate universe where everyone is a zombie. 'Nuff said.

groundhog7s Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Nice descriptions Zach. Do you know why the Champion was made in Deadpool gear and not just his classic look (since that's how he first was when he fought the DC)? I understand the costume continuity for the set, but it just seems odd to get a one-time look for a character that's looked differently for a long time.

 I'm going to write that out on a post-it note and stick it on the box set so it doesn't go to waste. The bios are going to get better now because Zach's going to want to prove Miry wrong and Miry is going to try to prove Zach wrong. And Zach is probably going to do something like every other word in the bio spelling out "suck it Miry". :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 who is this deadpool everyone is talking about? One thing it is is a mediocre Dirty Harry sequel. I saw it a couple weeks ago for the first time. You ask yourself, "Clint and Liam Neeson going at it? Jim Carrey lip-syncing and gyrating to a Guns N Roses classic? What could go wrong?" Well, if you waste your time with that POS movie, you'll find out. *Now back to our regularly scheduled Deadpool box set complaints.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 who is this deadpool everyone is talking about? Probably the longest running cross-company in-joke of all time. Wade Wilson, Deadpool: super powered mercenary with a strong reputation that we never heard of till he crossed swords with the Junior X-Men. Slade Wilson, Deathstroke: super powered mercenary with a strong reputation that we never heard of till he crossed swords with the Junior JLA. Even Liefield has admitted to the "homage". Shrug.
