undeadpool Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 very VERY excited about Havok, after seeing that awesome blast piece he comes with, im glad we will be seeing the entire Alpha Flight filled up sooner then later so ill gladly pick up Box and Vindicator. Ironmans sculpt looks amazing though ill have to wait to see the final paint job since that helmet is a tricky element to get right, Rhino looks superb and will be a great edition to my spidey villains (replacing the bulked up rhino i attempted). Ultimate cap looks great and since i used the mask for mines on Paladin custom, im glad i can get a new one and Miles is just gravy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I hope there's a Madison head under Box's helmet, and Heather comes with a hairpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I hope there's a Madison head under Box's helmet, and Heather comes with a hairpiece. Box has a hologram head, with a hologram hairpiece. Heather has a hairpiece and two mask pieces, one with a clear red visor and one a clear blue visor. Havok has that blast piece, Storm has lightning. Miles has a webline, Cap has an AK. IM and Rhino are as-is. No conversion parts for Rhino, but I'm sure that's an easy mod for those who know how. Got packaged samples in today.

Mystery Man Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Thanks a heap for those pics! Everybody looks great! I'm intrigued by the "hologram head" on Box and hoping it'll be a translucent head with a face on it. I'm also curious as to how Havok's blast piece will work. Attaches to waist, mebbe?

Heroic Slacker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That series is a thing of beauty, Vindicator and Box look so perfect, and Storm's hair is perfect for a RuPaul custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, translucent head with shadowy face on it. Camera on phone died before I could shoot it. Can't find art from comic, but I think it's pretty much that. Havok's blast piece fits over his hand. I'm not certain it hasn't been used before. Anyone? I thought it was a Red Tornado accessory, but apparently not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I don't think Red Tornado came with any accessories save for Ma Hunkel's hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvis497 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wow, everything looks incredible! Just a couple questions; what exactly is the criteria for getting a TRU exclusive sticker? Because as fas as I can tell, these are all unique. A suggestion for the future, for characters like Iron Man who show up frequently is it possible to bring back the prefixed names? Like "Extremis" Iron Man, "Neo Classic" Iron Man, etc. Its less confusing that way. Really can't wait to pick these up, all the TRU series have been incredible!

boyd Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 A great looking bunch of Minimates. Thanks for sharing the pictures, Zach. Now to begin the waiting game for these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Great looking figures. I'll probably get every set except the Spidey/Cap one, though I have to say that face tampo looks great on Spidey. Not often you get a slip-over for him that looks good IMO.

Thought it was a fluke on the last couple of waves, but maybe we can only sticker two packs? Weird. My bad on the Iron Man prefix. I asked what armor Robert was referencing, but I may not have given him one. Possibly because of the pre-Extremis confusion. Will be more diligent in the future.

karamazov80 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Off hand, it seems like only two packs per wave get the stickers, even if other packs seem equally sticker-relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
