karamazov80 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Don't know if everyone caught Toyark's coverage of the Minimate panel, but they've got good pics of some of the control art from this wave. Thing bust is too cool. Each of these figures has new hair. That mullet is just phenomenal. Edited July 16, 2012 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 This wave is how to do re-do's with class, style and quality. Much like the "Jean DeWolff" wave for Spidey. Can't wait to see more pictures and get the figures in hand! That Alicia is wonderful! ... and maybe Puppet Master'll have some puppet-type accessories. At least a lump of some radioactive clay would be neat, 'though I don't know if most people would know what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye's Junk Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Would love to see Crystal added to this wave. She was a big part of the leather jacket avengers in the 90's. Wasn't she a love interest of Johnny's too? Edited July 16, 2012 by Hawkeye's Junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 That's how she started, yes. In fact, Crystal was still considered Johnny's long-distance sorta girlfriend when she met and married Quicksilver. Johnny has been shown to have not completely gotten over Crystal, her not so much. Of course during that Avengers run, Dane and Vision were shown to have fallen for her. (especially creepy that Viz would start crushing on his former sister-in-law) She must just be that seductivly hot. Or at least Bob Harras seems to think so.

If not, I'll take care of it for ya. So I was just thinking... I wonder if the Thing bust will be one sculpted piece, or if it will actually have a removable Minimate noggin? If so, it might just be the accessory of the year. Edited July 16, 2012 by hellpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geohound Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If the head comes off, just switch it out with the Fear itself Grey Gargoyle head and put it as some kind of minor note thing in a larger villain museum for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 But....That wasn't Johnny, it was Sue with mullet hair and opaque arms and legs. Ha! Wow. Just goes to show the difference between a phone screen & a computer screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 My Sue will NEVER wear the mullet. That hairpiece will end up on a zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 But it's neat that they're including the mullet for Sue, as she wore one in Byrne's era of FF... which these blue/white costumes are also from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 i know ill be buying an extra sue to use for She Hulk (if they dont make her FF look that is) as well as an extra Reed for flamed off Johnny...heck im buying extra's of this entire wave....so is the line up: Reed Richards/Sue Storm Johnny Storm/Blastarr Puppet Master/Moloid Alicia Masters/Moloid ? if so, that'd be awesome, though to be honest, any line up means i end up with extras of those impressive bases for sue and johnny as well as the stretchy parts for reed (the extras i plan to paint black and use on the other Mister Fantastic's) and extra of those Blastarr hand blasts, assuming they are detachable, which they look to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Nope, Reed comes with Puppet Master, Sue comes with Moloid. Reed and PM might come with a suit jacket they can share. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undeadpool Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 a suit jacket? could you elaborate? and ill still be buying extras of both, since i plan on at least getting 4 moloids and still an extra reed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 IIRC, Sue went with the mullet right after she went Evil. Zach, for the love of God, man, you put those sideburns to bed. We'll just invent any information we're missing and have rampant irresponible speculation passing as fact while you get your rest. Pleasant dreams. So we've Mole Man, soon with Moloids. Now we need to find some compatible Kirby style monsters. Hey, that might make an interesting series of banks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 a suit jacket? could you elaborate? It's an overgarment worn as formal attire, usually with matching pants or "slacks." Not to be confused with a tracksuit jacket, the lack of which in Minimate form can only be a sign of DST's anti-Eastern European bias.

Funny thing is, Byrne made that haircut work. I think it must be his greatest accomplishment as an artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Hopefully, the TRU wave will feature the Frightful Four (Wizard, Sandman, Trapster, Medusa), Annihilus, Ronan, Dragon Man, and Psycho–Man. I know those won't be the ones chosen, but a man can dream can't he? :biggrin: Edited July 17, 2012 by mtd20_2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 This wave just keeps getting better. Alicia Masters is a welcome addition. Getting more civilian 'mates is always a plus, in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
