MisterMiracle Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry Miracle, didn't post that to bash your dislike/opinion. I just feel that stating "I never read Fear Itself so I don't know what the story is...but I don't really care for any of these new Mates." seems like a kid saying they don't like carrots just because even though they haven't tried them. I think I know what you're getting at though. You haven't read it, therefore you have no interest. Sorry didn't mean to sound like a dick. I still have interest in the stuff that I'm not familiar with. I picked up the Curse of the Mutants box set just for Blade even though I never read that story. I never read Fear Itself so I don't know what the story is...but I don't really care for any of these new Mates. Both sets are a pass for me. Not even Odin? I thought Odin came out pretty great. I'm on the fence about Odin. Odin is the only one that I sort of want. Maybe I'll buy a set and just sell off the other 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzerd Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Will get the one set for Odin. Would pick up the other if you could take off all those pieces for a regular Grey Gargoyle but that doesn't seem to be the case We're getting there with the Asgardians. Now make the Warriors Three and Heimdall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I enjoyed FI, at the time I thought it was a good chance to get a Titania and an updated Absorbing Man plus Grey Gargoyle playing a key role him as well. As for what been shown I'm liking them. For me thwe weakest is Spidey only because he reminds me some reason of the SM3 movie mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) @ Mirymate: What the deal with the aftermath of Fear Itself? I've been out of the comic book game for over two years, so I'm out of the loop. Edited January 21, 2012 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedShadow Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I like some other don't know the fear itself story(I've only been reading older comics recently) though I am down for the mighty set because the sort of tron like look to them,I definitely want to see how the iron man turns out!Great job aa and dst!

groundhog7s Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What's weird is I look at these sets and all it really makes me think is that we'll see a Spider Island set also. Maybe Spidey, Shang Chi, new Venom and the Jackal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What's weird is I look at these sets and all it really makes me think is that we'll see a Spider Island set also. Maybe Spidey, Shang Chi, new Venom and the Jackal. I would support this. By buying it with real money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What's weird is I look at these sets and all it really makes me think is that we'll see a Spider Island set also. Maybe Spidey, Shang Chi, new Venom and the Jackal. Well that would make Lee Burns happy. Though they'd probably trade out Shang for Kane-as-Tarantula as the token weird spidery-transformation representative. Mini_Myte: Aftermath played out like this- Bucky-Cap looked like he was dead but got better, back to being the Winter Soldier, Ulik has used a spell to make everyone retroactively remember him in Thor's place but kid-Loki doesn't belive it, and Odin restored Paris to normal after Mokk/Grey Gargoyle transformed every living thing in the city to stone permentally, but tried to teach Tony a lesson in faith while doing it. (what that means for the serveal hundred "statues" that were shattered battleing Mokk I'd rather not think about.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) I never read the story line, but I think this is great. New characters, and wold characters w/ new unique costumes. I'm pretty stoked. Edited January 21, 2012 by TM2 Dinobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I haven't read the story yet (I don't buy comics anymore, just trades, and even those I wait until I find 'em for a good price... so it could be a while), and while the things I've heard about the book haven't exactly filled me with hope, I'll probably check it out eventually. So I don't have a "I want these guys" reaction yet, but I probably will eventually. Maybe even by the time the 'mates come out! A few thoughts: -Odin looks great, and yeah, I'm glad I didn't join the "Odin Custom Brigade". I was actually just fine with the movie one standing in as a comics one. -Always glad for a new Hawkeye, even if he looks like he's on his way to a rave. Any chance of adding extra parts to make a normal Heroic Age Hawkeye, Zach? No? Well, then I'll probably be cobbling one together with the Dark Avengers one. -Spidey looks like SM3 black Spidey, no? -The Worthy do look cool, at least. Great job with the designs and sculpts. I'd like to see the Super Hero Squad top this! -I'm glad to see DST get back to making sets from the big (current) Marvel events; it's been a while. I know you've been a bit taken aback by our reaction to some other sets based on current comics, Zach, but these sets are a big win. Great job all around, guys!

mtd20_2000 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) These are the best sets they could think of? pass.... Edited January 21, 2012 by mtd20_2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yes! More classic villains! ... wait, what? I'm going to assume something is up with my display, as the pictures look all weird and squashed. Can something post them in the thread, please. I'm glad i painted up an Odin, as this one looks pretty boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Odin may end up being gold, if recent Asgardians are any indication. I'll ask. Glad most of you like them. Edited January 21, 2012 by Zach Oat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I haven't read this story, but the mates really pop. Odin is a real knock-out. Otherwise, lots of nice, new parts. The sculpted pieces in these sets look very nice. Definitely a look that is growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highassroller Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If they are going this route I hope we get an AFX or other Con exclusive 4 pack that has at least Titania, Absorbing Man, Attuma and Juggy to complete the Villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khonshu knight Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I hope the release more of the worthy later on. This is what I don't get about DST, they release figures based on an event months after it passed. Same thing with the Curse of the Mutants set, I bet they would have had more sales if they released them in the same time the event was happening, not months after when most of the interest in some characters is already gone. Not to mention the event wasn't that good anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) I didn't read this cross-over, save for the X-related tie-ins which really didn't tie in all that much, but i think these mates look great. Thing = total win! Odin's sculpt looks totally bad-ass (although i agree that he could use a little colour variant on him). Plus we get a new female character in minimate form. If they do make any more tie-in characters, i'd really love to see Juggernaut in his Fear Itself garb & Hela from the New Mutants tie in. Over all - very very nice sets. Can't wait to see IronMan.

jcastick Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I definitely want to get both box sets and what ever FI mates may also be introduced.....really love the designs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the event wasn't that good anyways. Well, I think that's probably out of their hands a bit; you assume that Marvel is willing to share the character designs before the books come out, which might not be the case. And, even then, there's still a long turnaround time to get a product made. It takes- what- nine months to make a Minimate? Oh, wait, that's a baby.... I think releasing the figures a year after the event is reasonable. Heck, they've even announced this right around the time the hardcover collection's coming out, which is pretty smart (even if it's accidental).

groundhog7s Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I just don't understand why DST doesn't hire time travelers (or at least buy a Delorean) so that they could spy on the future. That way they'd know what's going to come out and have enough time to produce products for comic events in time for them to be on the shelves at the same time. Or they could find out if certain storylines sucked too much to make Minimates from it. But, they obviously don't care enough to do this (or don't like time traveling, which would explain their obvious dislike of Kang). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 @ Mirymate: Can you explain the Ulik / Thor part of the story a bit more? Is Thor dead? And does everybody think Ulik is Thor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'd rather his colors match the wave 20 Hawkeye colors to swap arms and legs, since most people have 2 of him, and the DA version is pretty rare at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
