nate_studio Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 show us the pics, just don't tell use the names of the villians, if they're anything like the legos we'll still have no idea what the hell they are! I think by now you know that Minimates are nothing like Legos. tell that to everyone that looks at my display ... please. Truth. Truth. And more truth.

DSTZach Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Sorry I haven't posted any unboxing pictures. I had this crazy idea to re-create the teaser posters, and it kinda took over my brain. I posted these two on Twitter so far: Have actually finished all eight, but can't access them right now, or I'd give you a bonus. Quick breakdown: - Hawkeye comes with three arrows (four molded in quiver), plus extra non-sunglasses head. - Hulk comes with extra very angry head. - Thor's hair has changed from the prototype to (I believe) the old Thor movie hair. - Fury's trenchcoat is shiny like Michael Knight's jacket. Pistol and rocket launcher. - Iron Man gets a different helmet than seen in the prototype, although you may have already seen it at Toy Fair. - They're all amazing.

Twisted Two-Face Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 That Captain America is beautiful. He and Hawkeye will be my new defaults; good to hear Hawkeye will have an unglasses'd head too! Can't wait to see Widow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate_studio Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Great job with these posters, Zach. I just saw them on Twitter and can't wait to see the rest of them. And these mates look fantastic by the way. You guys perfectly captured Robert Downey Jr. It's uncanny. I am so excited for everything related to this movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 thanks for changing the Thor hair. I loved the hairpiece he had in the Thor wave and the proto one was just... too... big... Far too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Oh my God i think i'm in love. They're BEAUTIFUL. Bravo, Zach, bravo. Purple on Hawkeye is vivid and amazing, which nulls my main worry. He's perfect; that bow looks so fantastic. Great Renner likeness too!! Widow looks stellar. Streamlined even with her belt/holsters combo, new bracelets rock, and her ScarJo likeness may be better than the first two. Love the final hairpiece. Question, is her head not on all the way?? If so, looks like she has a really short neck peg....which may be not-so-good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purple changed a few times after the prototype pics. Even the character art on the packaging has a slightly different purple. Question, is her head not on all the way?? If so, looks like she has a really short neck peg....which may be not-so-good. Head was on all the way, just angled very extremely. Looked good from straight-on, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Zach, that's a different (and MUCH better) hairpiece on Thor from the proto, isn't it? Is that going to be the final one?

pawcanada Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 thanks for changing the Thor hair. I loved the hairpiece he had in the Thor wave and the proto one was just... too... big... Far too big. Pretty much how I felt about Thor and the Iron Man minimates. IMO the helmets from the IM2 wave > helmest from IM1 wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing we updated it, then! Avengers helmet is the IM 2 helmet, not the IM 1 helmet. That's all of them. May do a Maria Hill if I get the chance...

Lobsterman Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 So does Thor not have a cape? He has one (IIRC) in the trailers we've seen, but none of the prototypes or photos you've shown have one. Is the red cloth thing on his shoulders like.. a scarf or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yes, Thor should have a cape as seen in the film and style guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) No, Thor sports a few different looks. One is the caped/armored look a la the Thor Movie and for which we already have a minimate. The new 'mate looks to be based off of this sleeveless, capeless look. I'd prefer this one over one we've already got. And I guess I'm alone, but I liked the big hair for Thor. These posters are awesome, Zach. I'm really looking forward to this wave (and plan on getting doubles of Hawkeye and Widow to go with the Ultimates).

And thanks for tracking down that pic -- one of the earliest images anyone saw of him in this film, and most assuredly what this look was based on. When we started work on these guys, we had no idea whether he would be dressed for "Casual Thorsday" throughout the movie, but we certainly didn't want to make the same fully armored Thor all over again. Consider this an "Ultimate" movie Thor, and go buy the old one if you prefer that look. Did I mention these are all production pieces? I'll try and shoot some more straightforward shots.

MisterPL Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 My bad. I thought we were talking about Thor's look in the movie poster. I'm all for the sleeveless variation. No love for Banner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
