stack32 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 If anyone was holding off on ordering the Thanos wave from Amazon because of the release date they've moved it up to March 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I came across Spider-Man and Daredevil at Target today. Almost picked them up before I took a second look at Daredevil and noticed something wasn't quite right: It's certainly one of the craftier swap-outs I've seen. Since DD was the one I wanted, I ended up leaving Spidey behind, along with the impostor here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Had that happen to me with the AVX Scarlet Witch. People suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I picked up my Odin Wave at HasbroToyshop with a code for about $122 and some change. I'm hoping the Thanos Wave hits there soon and I can find the same deal. Much easier than trying to do the hunt anymore. Kind of like shopping for Mates at Luke's site. Has anyone seen the SHIELD 3 packs in stores yet? I know they are available online, but I got burned by the site a couple of years ago.

Hawkeye's Junk Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I saw five of the SHIELD 3 pack in the store on weds. If you want one and they are still there I can pick it up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I appreciate the offer Hawk, but I'm going to have to pass. Dead broke and actually hoping the wife finds it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Don't usually collect stuff this scale, but I had to pick up a Hellcat when I saw one yesterday. She's pretty great, my only quibble is them using yellow paint over dark blue on the top of her shins for some reason, when the rest of her is yellow plastic, but it's not that noticeable. Of course now that I know how good her costume looks as a toy I want a Minimate even more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It's too bad it's so unlikely DST will make her, especially since it would take, what, one new piece? Haven't seen anything past the All-Father wave in my area yet. There's lots of stock of it everywhere so I'm thinking it might take a while to see something new.

hellpop Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I would buy a ton of Hellcat Minimates, just for the plain yellow female chest block. Dorkside Toys has the Avengers wave in stock for anyone that's looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 A friend grabbed the SHIELD pack for me, and Fury's cool, Maria's awesome (despite those awful perma-holsters from Winter Soldier Widow), but holy crap, Coulson is perfection. I love him so much. I can't decide which head I want to display, and the Destroyer gun is just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Coulson is a great figure and has one of the most accurate headsculpts Hasbro has done. I'd love to get a minimate with the same accessories. I'd be happy with Hill, but the headsculpt looks like the sculptors had someone describe Cobie Smulders instead of looking at a picture. They didn't even get the hair right, which should have been relatively easy. Fury... well, we've seen this figure before and it wasn't great then. The sculpt is fine but the arm articulation is atrocious. The headsculpt is decent, but I think Hasbro's done better Samuel L. Jackson likenesses even at the 4" scale. I'm happy with the set just for Coulson alone, but it could have been a lot better with just a little extra work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 For those on the fence about the SHIELD set's price, TRU.com has marked it down $10. Linkage. I actually just got my set in the mail on Friday. Like others have said, Coulson's the best. I really like the new suit body. Fury has convinced me that Hasbro really needs to retire the trenchcoat body. It's just not up to spec with their newer stuff. If anyone's interested, here's my review of the set.

Twisted Two-Face Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Everything about the Fury body is awful. Red Skull, with those hips and shoulders, is so frustrating to pose. It's also awkwardly thin in weird places to accommodate the coat. Haven't picked up the set yet but I have every intention to. Can't pass up Coulson or Cobie Smulders.

bigvis497 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I don't collect Legends but I have a friend who does and holy crap, you guys got like three waves in the past couple months. I don't like how they mix movie figures into the waves but there's a lot of really cool comic characters. Makes me jealous since Marvel Minimates has been so dead as of late.

stack32 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The selection has been great, and has definitely fed my frustration with minimates, but I'm curious to see what the shelves look like in a few months. I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of figures hanging around for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I just got my Batroc, Hellcat, and Spider-Woman that I preordered from Amazon today. The wife is making me wait to open the ladies until Easter, but I was NOT waiting on Batroc. I have a Batroc action figure! BATROC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Got Hellcat, Spider-Woman, Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 in my Easter basket. All are really nice. Spider-Woman is a tremendous upgrade over the rather lame Toy Biz release. Spidey I was on the fence about, but he's really fun to play with an the accessories are great. BTW, his pizza slice fits perfectly into Thanos' hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Spider-Woman was a real surprise for me. I didn't think much of her until I had her in hand, but she's really great! Spider-Man has become my definitive figure of the character. And now I think my Thanos needs a slice of pizza.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
