monkeycrumb Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Loving the Heimdall mate, can't wait to see the TRU counterpart wave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I'd like to know the definite line-up of the TRU Wave. Zach originally said the exclusives would be Fandral/Hogun and Odin/Frigga, but then said there was a line-up change and we haven't heard more. I know he said that Darcy was in this wave too, is that her in the SDCC pix? I'd really be surprised if we got another Odin with Frigga, it would seem to make more sense to have a Jane Foster in there somewhere, ideally replacing Odin and being paired with Frigga, but would TRU go for that?

Nessex Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I know he said that Darcy was in this wave too, is that her in the SDCC pix? Yes - i believe that's her on the bottom right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 As good as DST are, I'm not sure they have what it takes to capture the gloriousness of Kat Deenings in just two inches of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither could they Emma stone. Or Natalie portman. Or gwyneth paltrow:( Cobie and scarlett were spot on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I hope there's still time to make Thor less gold than the minimate (and Select figure) on display. That doesn't seem to match up well with the pictures on the movie site. Looks like Loki is just Avengers Loki without a helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Yeah, me too. Loki might just be a stand in, maybe he wasn't ready to show yet, like the TRU wave? Edit: Scratch that, it is a different mate, no cape or shoulder armor like The Avengers version. Edited July 20, 2013 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Specialty Wave 53 pix, the TRU wave wasn't shown yet! Can a mod please update the title of the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That's Darcy. No TRU assortment for this series, unfortunately. So this is our line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Seriously...that's all I can muster right now... Any chance you would be willing to share the designs for the 'mates that didn't make the cut? Poor Fandral & Hogun... Zach, is there anything that can be done to save the 4 TRU exclusive characters? A Specialty boxset, alternate Retailer Exclusive, Kickstarter campaign.....anything at all? Edited July 22, 2013 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Can't say I'm completely surprised. They still seem to have plenty of sets from the first movie hanging around, and if everybody remembers, they were clearanced relatively quickly. Of course, they are also still swimming in Hasbro Iron Man 2 toys, but that doesn't seem to have stopped them from ordering those terrible little IM3 things, soooo....

stegron01 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Not great news as thor is the one line of movie 'mates that I really like and I think they are the most visually interesting. However, at least the lcs wave looks excellent and I guess this just means we will get a comic based warriors 3 to make up for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sigh....poor Hogun and Fandrall. Cursed to never be released. Hopefully they can be saved by an exclusive boxset or kickstarter as youbastards suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah, I sent in a question to the "Ask DST" about it...NYCC is only a week or 2 before Thor's premiere in November...a PERFECT place to have an exclusive for the missing 'mates!

TENIME_art Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I rather would have had Fandral & Hogun than Darcy & another Selvig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Nah, Loki was going to be in the main wave no matter what...that one I can live with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I guess the chick with the glasses was chosen as the variant because very few will care to own a figure of her, but dang. . .to get her and Selvig 2.0 over the missing Warriors is a bummer.

youbastards Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 DST had the lines planned for both LCS and TRU back in April, see Zach's statement below, but it appears TRU backed out last minute? I don't fault DST for the LCS line-up at all, they probably thought the remaining Warriors would be a bigger draw at TRU. Fandral/Hogun and Frigga/Odin at TRU. Yes, Thor/Malekith and Loki/Heimdal will be shared, although The Thor set may be slightly more weighted at TRU.And only TRU's indifference to DoFP can doom it. Without their support, I doubt we would pursue it just for specialty, but who knows. Also, XMFC is still on the pegs, and they still want Wolverine, so I wouldn't dispair just yet.
