buttheadsmate Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 There must be a problem but from the pictures I'm seeing it is unclear (to me) what the problem is ? Also I would like to say that although I have no real hands on experience of tampo-printing I know how it works .................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Cracked a case today, both Sevens had the same lip issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I saw these today, of 2 Sevens, one also had the "Church Lady" lip issue. I was going to buy both packs (one for my wife and one for me), but because of the weird face I only bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Couple ideas for QC Borg. Head from the B&W Walking Dead zombie, one of the Calico Jack guys - figure he'd be an assimilated non-Human, and B&W Dale w/ a vest from a Max police guy. Last one doesn't work as well due to his expression and the color of the vest.Maybe a War Machine chest would work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try to spray some extra Terminator and Halo pieces in flat black. I think they may fit in nicely with the overall aesthetic. I really like how the reversed chest piece looks.

buttheadsmate Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Maybe this will help: OK ! I can see the misalignment there & from what I read some samples are right whilst others are wrong ? That makes no sense ......if they are all the same then I would point the finger at the actual design rather than the print-operator* . Odd! There are many Minimates that have far more intricate faces than this one & having checked out a few pictures of Jeri Ryan....always hard work ....I am almost convinced that the designers placed her mouth asymetrically because Jeri Ryan's mouth is asymmetrical . What do you think? Of course the fact remains that if there is evidence of variation..... I am wrong.

B&W Hunchback and Dracula heads, and GitD Creature parts. Couple of Terminator and Cylon parts in there and a War Machine Chest. I agree, Halo seems like it would be an excellent fit. And, last one: Head swap between the old and new Borg mates, b&w Mummy with War Machine hand and foot, and a Maximum Zombies head. Lots of possibilities. I wonder how hard that first Borg is to come by these days... Edited June 20, 2013 by elmeaux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I'd recommend a gun metal color for paint. The Borg look like they've got a metallic flake to their color. These are all great recipes for parts! I feel an assimilation coming across the Multiverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 So, I found 2 different fresh cases at 2 different TRU's today. Both had: 1 Normal Face Tampo 7 of 9 1 Misaligned eyes & lips 7 of 9 I really hope Customer Sevice can address this issue, it's very noticable. And Gul Dukat is fan-freaking-tastic!!! The whole set is awesome, but, man that Cardassian is my favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macross-Junkie Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 My TRU still only got in one case, but they don't seem to be flying off the shelf in my area. I picked up another Picard, and a Sisco (which was nowhere to be found the first time I went to TRU) was magically on the peg today, so I picked him up as well........

maxcarnage Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 i love this wave! so glad it back! hoping tru gets there waves in soon! in the meantime... assimilate this! strange life sings: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MST3KFan Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Has there been a second wave confirmed yet or are these TRU and LCS waves a kind of testing ground to see if the line will continue? I hope a second wave will be coming. Of course, then the speculation will have to begin hardcore as I'd assume it'd be like this first wave... TRU: One TNG set, one DS9 set, one TOS set, and one VOY set LCS: one TWOK set, one TNG set, one DS9 set, and one ENT set Maybe even some 4-packs to fill out the crews quicker...

ufemizm Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Kirk's hair definitely makes a big difference. The new Picard's hair has less detail. Bummer that there are no bare arms for shirtless Khan... Love that you can see Dukat's shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBMM1 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Went by my local TRU today. I checked the area that some have said that these are in (In the Star Wars/Trek/Hasbro section). They weren't there... But then I went to the next aisle over (misc. movie/ tv/videogame toys/battle beast, TWD, UM Minimates) and started looking. I found two of the one pack that I wanted (Kirk/Khan)!!! I am so excited!!! No sign of any other sets anywhere.

Mister Nick Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 It looks as if the younger Khan has a lighter skin tone then the one that was previously released. Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Man, BBTS got Walking Dead wave 3 in a week before comic shops, and comic shops have already gotten in Star Trek, but BBTS still estimates "July" for the preorder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Paco Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 This image makes me think of a Breen Soldier about to attack Captain Picard. Is the armored mate in this picture a Halo Minimate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Sending in my pictures to Customer Service today. I just found these 2 in the wild: Eye/Mouth alignment is close, but still slightly off: Church Lady 7 of 9: I'm guessing the problem is the Borg tech tampo around the eye is somehow throwing off the mouth alignment. It looks like we found twins: And a mirror: Maybe I am mistaken, but aren't the face tampos one piece? I cannot understand how the lips are not only that off, but also that off from each other! :O So it seems the Seven of Nine variations count is up to 3 now (I noticed this third, too, yesterday in the wild)! Despite the fact that I originally purchased the proportionate "close eye/mouth", I've got to say that I'm actually leaning more towards the "aligned spaced eye/mouth after studying pics of Ms. Ryan. She does have an exotic, slightly long face. Now this third one? I don 't know...snarky Seven? Too bad all of these misprints didn't happen to Hugh instead, then perhaps we'd have a legitimate "army-builder" on our hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
