Mirymate Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Inevitable... after last night's little announcement, Falcon could be imminent (I mean there are 5 more slots to fill with Avengers related goodness). And I do believe Gideon and Toad were the main adversaries in a string of early 90's annuals spanning the New Warriors and the secondary X-books, the "Kings of Pain" I believe, even though they actually didn't do anything but play chess for several issues. So there's a 2 pack for ya right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I missed last night's little announcement.. and I don't even know where to begin to look for it. Miry, man, fill me in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 In the Marvel Mystery Boxset(s) thread. Go now. It's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) i can't wait for this set to come out! i've been making displays for my mates the last couple of days, and this is the X-Men one i've been working on! i've got spots set aside for Dazzler, Longshot and Banshee (i know he hasn't been announced, but as one of my favorite characters i'm planning ahead!) and can maybe get 1 or 2 others in there if we get more new characters! if anyone's wondering what i used for the display base, i work at a salon and brought home a bunch of old opi fingernail polish promotional sets. they work great! just use construction paper to cover the holes and then spray paint!

The Vox Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 In the Marvel Mystery Boxset(s) thread. Go now. It's awesome. Link? That threads name has changed and I don't see any news. What's the scoop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The Avengers boxed sets one. That's the thread being referenced and was titled, for awhile, the "Mystery Boxed Set" thread or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 thanks guys! i was at work one day and was starring at the nail polish displays when it hit me that omg they'd be perfect for my minimates! there's another one that i'm waiting to bring home that's a windmill, which i'm gonna use it for the AoA characters... and another that's like a suitcase, but i haven't decided what to do with that, yet. i started doing Shadowcat that way after the leg broke off my Astonishing version. i thought it was pretty clever and kinda represents her power, but people ask me all the time what's up with the broken girl lol... here's my New Mutants display. it's kinda boring, and a little cluttered. i may redo it. Magma's gonna go behind Karma (you can kinda see a lil flame base i put there for her), and Dani will go front and center! can't wait for them to come out! and in honor of the movie this Friday... here are some of my Avengers!

Mystery Man Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Very nice displays! I like how you have the different Avengers on each tier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge_Havok Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I was looking for a picture of Avengers minimates just like that one! I don't collect Avenger minimates but I kinda wanted to since I saw the movie, but I want to collect the comic book versions. Those new Avenger box sets are a perfect way to get started!

CortherX Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 these displays are so easy to put together at the salon i work at. they come flat in an envelope and we just pop em out and insert A in to B. Diamond should think about making something similar, cuz until i figured out i could use the polish displays i was always looking for a way to put my mates up.

Nessex Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 totally unrelated to the topic, but damn i love your new banner Serge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 It's kind of hard not to love that banner. Old school Rogue just has a great design. I recently treated myself to the Claremont/Lee Omnibus Vol. 1. I've been enjoying rereading those issues, and it's really getting me excited for this wave.

It's easily just a keen a read as the 1st volume is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Not yet, but soon. I haven't read most of these stories since they came out, so it's a lot of fun.* The only problem is that, and this sounds weird, but Vol. 1 is kind of squeaky. Like a squeaky hinge. *Here's a sad story: Between ten and 8 years ago, I was moving and lost most of my comics. I apparently either left them in some attic, closet, on the stoop or something. I don't know. It wasn't until after we had unpacked and settled in that I realized most of the comics did not make the trip. No idea where they went. I'm hoping that some lucky kid out there found a ton of Superman, Justice League, and X-Men comics. The alternative... they ended up in the trash. Either way, I don't have them.

Mystery Man Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I understand what you mean about it having a squeaky hinge. Several of the largest Marvel Omniboo that I own had that feature when I first read them. I picked up 2 copies of Simonson's "Thor", actually, and only after I'd read through a copy did it not have *as much* of a squeaky noise. As for your sad story, that's awful! I hope somebody who can appreciate them got them... but either way, I'm super sorry for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Such a huge X-Men fan, it's amazing that we get the whole outback team! Now if only I could get a minimate Bonebreaker to harass them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I would love a Reavers set. Never happen, but Bonebreaker, Skullbuster, Prettyboy and Donald Pierce? I may actually be inspired enough to attempt customs.

Heroic Slacker Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I would love a Donald Pierce and Sebastian Shaw set or Cameron Hodge, or an updated Lady Deathstrike. As many X-Villains as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 i'm also excited for this set, but maybe instead of another Havok that is very similar to the first, we coulda got Gateway with Storm... with the Outback set now complete, i fear we'll never see him. i'm hoping, however, that the new Havok will at least be a big larger compared to the old one. standing next to Polaris, he looks tiny!

I've never been a customizer, but that does sound like a great idea. Mohawk Storm's hair, a head with sunglasses....but where to find a toy tank to rip apart that will be in scale?

Nessex Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Reavers would be awesome! Shame we couldn't get one or two in with the Outback X-Men. Still - i'm looking forward to seeing some customs soon. Skullbuster should be do-able using the Crossbones TRU figure we saw recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
