youbastards Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 So no Avengers in the AvX boxset? Guessing there is a complimentary boxset somewhere else featuring only Avengers characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00sted Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Nice, not sure how I am feelin about Zik, Vorin looks quite awesome tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 "Splash of sewage." Nice. That dragonfly is... interesting. I'll reserve full judgement until I have him in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Will take some pics of the extra parts you get with the AvX set soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Interesting. Very interesting. I'm guessing that AFX will have a matching Avengers set? And casual zombie make me laugh. The idea of Jimmy Buffet zombies amuses me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I said somewhere that if they did an AvX box set it would be three repeats and Hope Summers. I'm not thrilled to be right. They all look great, but I certainly hope this wasn't what they were referring to when they said the SDCC exclusives were going to blow our hair back.

youbastards Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Shouldn't Rick's holster be on the other hip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 So no Avengers in the AvX boxset? Guessing there is a complimentary boxset somewhere else featuring only Avengers characters? I was wondering the same. AFX set? I haven't heard any mention of a TRU/EE boxset like last year. Wonder if that's who will be hosting the Avengers?...

Lurch77 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 What's the red/orange showing near the back of Hope's knees? Her hair isn't that long is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Shouldn't Rick's holster be on the other hip? Wah wah waaaaaaah :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Zach, is that the same design for the dragonfly that you showed at the C2E2 panel? I thought I remembered it being 'bulkier' or something. Am I mis-remembering things again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 What's the red/orange showing near the back of Hope's knees? Her hair isn't that long is it? Different color of orange as well. Phoenix base Photoshopped out of the image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) That AvX set looks great! So does TWD. Even ASM. But that Zik... My first reaction was "Oh, Lizard feet." I just... It looked 1000x cooler on the production sheet. Just noticed something about Hope. Aside from being awesome for GI Joe customs, she could be reused by DST for... Kain?

Punisher Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I will for sure get the X-Men set (but will be throwing Jugger-lossus into the parts bin immediately). The rest, not necessarily disappointing, just nothing super exciting. We've seen it all. I think the dragonfly would look a lot better with a sculpted chest piece.

Kostisfire Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 The whole box set is awesome. The walking dead pack good too. Vorin looks cool and zik looks kinda strange. The prototypes always look kinda strange in my opinion. The Spidey pack is somewhat disappointing. I was expecting a sfxtekken pack. I think that the afx sets are either an avengers avx set,I'd really like a proper red hulk. Or it's an alpha flight pack. Then again we still have that 80s property rumour. Any word on when the afx exclusives will be revealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Those look nice, but Spidey needs some corn on him to look acurate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Definitely in for the Walking Dead and Battle Beast sets. Zik looks like it could be interesting, I think the thing that bugs me about it is there's no armor. Comes off more like a Gormitti than a Battle Beast.

monkeycrumb Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Cyclops: Will the side printing on the legs actually be on the production piece? Or just on the prototype?... Colossus-Naut: What's the story here? Haven't been following the comics for awhile. Is this actually well written, or as cheap as it sounds? Battle Beasts - meh. Not my cup of tea. Especially the totally rehashed winged guy. meh. Walking Dead - Will Rick come with his hand so people can re-create cutting it off? I'm definitely buying this one. Spider-Poop. Nuff Said! (my excrement senses are tingling!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Shittiest Spider-Man 2-pack ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 So no Avengers in the AvX boxset? Guessing there is a complimentary boxset somewhere else featuring only Avengers characters? I haven't read AvX, but are there any Avengers characters that have new looks that we haven't already gotten in the last few Avengers themed minimates? If not, I'd rather have complimentary X-characters in the new looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpiderX Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Woo very excited to pick these up in person for the first time ever! Don't care much for the battle beast stuff,but the rest look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 First impressions are ok, I like the battle beasts, I like the walking dead....but and there is always a but isn't there. Marvel looks a little lusterless. Spidey 2 pack could be a very easy pass and the only standout figure in the AVX is the Colossus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 wow that is veeery disappointing. hope is the only one I remotely care about. so bananas and 80s was that a ruse??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
