dj87 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 love that Garfield, not convinced on the other though, Uncle Ben is hilarious. Terrible quality picture though, so won't be jumping to too many conclusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hmm. I dunno if my disdain for the movie right now is going to affect me getting these. Who would have thought we'd get TWO AUNT MAYS in the SAME year?!??! Ben can pass for a comic Ben with Comic May, it's always good to have SWATs, and i really do like Garfield's mate, but as a generic kid, not a "new Peter Parker." I'm shocked Lizard has a new torso sculpt too, he didn't seem THAT big. Also, if that's "Battle Damage Spider-man," it's a little embarrassing. Hope it's the variant, i don't really want it at all. May just doesn't look that great compared to Comic May, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 also, looks like a strange selection. would be surprised if the film got more than a solitary wave. Old folks short-packed, one would assume. Neither Stacey? Near identical Spideys? The Lizard's shadow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Who would have thought we'd get TWO AUNT MAYS in the SAME year?!??! We're not getting two Aunt May's; we're getting an Aunt May and fodder for a Flying Nun custom. So, why aren't we getting two SM waves with an over-abundance of Spideys this time?

boyd Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Gwen and Captain Stacy could end up being TRU exclusives. We're not getting two Aunt May's; we're getting an Aunt May and fodder for a Flying Nun custom. I'm totally making a Flying Nun custom now.

hellpop Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I dunno, I'm not excited for the movie, so I'm not really excited for the 'mates. Peter will make for good custom fodder, but I can't really say I'm too excited for the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 even more boring than I imagined. I have bought every wave since the first, these will be the first I pass on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Really surpised to not be seeing any Stacey love with this wave, lets hope there are exclusives at TRU. Check out what appears to be a new foot design for Lizard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not getting two Aunt May's; we're getting an Aunt May and fodder for a Flying Nun custom. So, why aren't we getting two SM waves with an over-abundance of Spideys this time? Because we're getting one SM wave with an over-abundance of Spideys!! (seriously, if Garfield gets "first night out" gear, that's half of the wave) The characters selection might be the big killer here. Yes, we as collectors crave the obscure, important characters like May and Ben, but it looks like Gwen and the Captain, as well as Doctor freaking Connors are getting overshadowed for the blandest old people i have ever seen. It's....a very muted-color wave. With two near-identical Spider-man. Sorry, i don't mean to rant, but it's just more underwhelming than i thought it would be.

groundhog7s Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I wasn't that hyped to see the movie until i saw the new trailer. I'm hoping to be as surprised about it going in a different direction as I was with X-Men: First Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 a TrU Stacy 2-pack would be alright with me, who else could they make to fill out an entire wave, Conners? Flash? Not sure thats strong enough. One Spidey is a slip-over, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) I'm just going to keep saying "Marvel BazonkaZonks" all day. It's going to be my new Facebook status, maybe. --- Sorry, "BonkaZonks" --- No, I think I like "BakonkaZonks" better. Good get, though, Zach, landing a spot in USA Today!

Turtle Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Peter Parker actually looks really cool, and the cops are a great army builder. Each of the Spidey's look fine for what they are, but I would like to see the vigilante/first night out look in Minimate form as well. And surely the Stacys will find their way to Minimate form.

luke314pi Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I will reserve judgement until I see the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Based on that picture nothing jumps out as a must have. Hopefully we get some better Toy Fair announcements than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedShadow Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I for one am excited for the Peter parker(mainly because he looks almost identical to me in real life with ought glasses) and I am sort o excited for the non helmeted spidey,but to be quite honest I don't think it looks much like the movie version(the chest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yay! That's a passable comic book Uncle Ben! Hopefully a head-swap will give us a non-glasses one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Speaking of glasses, the orange lenses on Spider-man still REALLY annoy me. So out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Is the slip cover masked Spidey supposed to be battle damaged ya think? There seems to be claw marks on his legs (compared to the other Spidey). The crappy photo quality makes it hard to tell. Hmmmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) These suck! old people! two Spideys in that horrible new costume! No Emma Stone! and King Koopa :down: :down: Edited February 10, 2012 by Mattallica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksun1520 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So, can we get an Uncle Ben/skateboard 2 pack? I'd be good with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
