Mystery Man Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He could've come with a copy of the Darkhold, the book that featured pretty prominently in his 1970's adventures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 its been said but tomb of dracula rocks image wise to me as a kid. if these ones hadent been made i would say this is a geek box set http://marvel.wikia.com/Marvel_Two-In-One_Vol_1_51 I remember reading this when it was out and laughing at heroes having a normal night. Also u have to realise when this comic was out Pizza didnt exist in the UK as a major food stuff, a bit like the the Avengers movie doing Swamra at the end as we call Kebab which is on every run down street corner now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Hey 'Fiend' I genuinely didn't know what a shawarma was Now I know what they call them in the US ! I tasted my first doner kebab in Southampton in 1982 ,I know that for sure because the first doner kebab take-away in the UK (outside of London) opened up around the corner from my first print-shop .........what memories . -elephantfootsmate Edited February 27, 2013 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Shwarma and kebab are not the same thing. You can get kebab on street corners, because it's just meat on a stick. Shwarma they have to shave meat off a huge shank that's roasting on a spit. You eat it in a pita, I believe. #strangetangents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 In the UK that's a kebab, the meat on a stick........ Also a kebab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yep, shawarma is not eaten on a stick, but is Mediterranean all the same. I loves the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Shawarma seems to be the same thing i know as a doner kebab (normally eaten whilst drunk after a night out then cold the next morning if you haven't fallen asleep on it!!!!) The other one on a stick is a shish kebab normally eaten burnt to s#!t or under cooked at a neighbours bbq leading to food poisoning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yeah it's what we call a Doner Kebab. I have only ever eaten them when drunk, and I have to say they are delicious! Although, not delicious enough for me to eat one when sober. 'Chilli sauce mate?' On topic: the box art for this set is spectacular, and the mates look fantastic too. Really looking forward to getting Morbius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 In the UK its the same stuff. All shaved off a spinning lump on a pole. Right now we are havinig a big hooplah on if its ermintrude or red rum but it aint killed me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Swarma is meat with spices in pita and is similar to the doner kebab which is similar to gyros. The first such food was created in turkey (the doner) but after a short time it came to Greece with the small Asia immigrants and took the name gyros which is a now probably the most famous Greek food. Swarma is the Indian equilavent. It's basically meat with spices in a pita with fries,tomato,ketchup,mustard,tzatziki,onions and more (for the gyros that is and maybe the doner,I'm not too sure about swarma's ingredients). Depending on the country and the versions other stuff are added and others are excluded. Edited February 27, 2013 by Kostisfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stegron01 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just found time to get on here for the first time in 24 hours. Have to say the conversation seems to have taken a pretty random turn lol. I'm sure it'll make sense when I get time to read back over it properly though, but in the meantime must just say the box art and logo look great on this set, as do the minimates themselves!! This is one of the best boxsets for a long time imo and it would be great to see another with tomb of dracula, frankenstein's monster etc and that marvel team up wave sounds a superb idea too!

elhonez Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. This might be my most anticipated boxed set in... ever. I'm buying two sets so I can use some of these great parts/pieces for customs. There's something about Marvel in the 1970s that really speaks to me. More of this stuff please!

hellpop Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Man oh man, do they look great. Looks like all the accessory budget went into Blade and Doc Strange, which is fine with me, since they are the rereleases. Love WBN, though; he looks much better then the prototype.

groundhog7s Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) The pics and box look nice, but am I the only one here who really doesn't care about this set? In fact, I can't think of a set made that I think I like less. I'm happy for you all that look forward to it and I think they are well executred, but to me they're just 'meh'. I've never eaten schawarma before-would eating that change my opinion of the character selection?

Mystery Man Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Your "meh" feelings about this set are exactly how I feel about all the movie-related stuff. They look nice, but I could give a s---. THIS is the kind of set that speaks to me. I love it and am getting three of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
