kaipo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 im thinking the alt hairpiece will distinguish her enough from the previous version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It won't. Shadowlands Elektra was the weak point, and so is this one. Elektra can be done SO WELL, but DST has yet to pull her off right in a Minimate look. Wave 1 comes the closest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly think Wave 1 was superior with her blue, mangy hair and "nail clippings" breasts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Did someone mention before that this Punisher had a reversible chest piece or an extra chest piece with the white skull? I'm down for one set if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Is it just me? Or are the prices going up on preorders. BBTS wants $18 for each new box set. Creeping up little by little. I guess if prices go up due to costs, its something we got to live with. Just as long as the quality doesnt drop as prices prices rise (Hasbro). SRP on Minimate box sets went from 17.99 to 19.99 after New Year's. That's the price our discounts are based on. No plans to drop quality. It won't. Shadowlands Elektra was the weak point, and so is this one. Elektra can be done SO WELL, but DST has yet to pull her off right in a Minimate look. Wave 1 comes the closest. I think Minimates will never be fully able to pull off the "woman in swimsuit" look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJohnson Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Poor Punisher--his skull looks a bit more pink than red in the picture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaipo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I think Minimates will never be fully able to pull off the "woman in swimsuit" look. If only they were hourglass figures and not block figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Minimates will never be fully able to pull off the "woman in swimsuit" look. I did make some hourglass custom figures (elizabeth from bioshock and red harrington) and blocky or not the look doesn't change that much. Wht i'm trying to say is that if the paint apps are good that look can be achieved and from what i'm seeing this elektra looks really cool. DP and Rulk are the stars of the set for me though.

sinnsyk Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'll pick up this set because i really like the Red Hulk and the Punisher. My son loved the Deadpool and he doesn't have Elektra yet, so i will probably just give him those. Honestly wish they would have left Elektra out and included Venom instead, that would have made it a must buy for me. I'm sure we will get the Venom with red trim eventually. http://stuffpoint.com/index.php?r=268517 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Psylocke got it right. Why can't Elektra? They're almost the same costume. I must investigate further... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaipo Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 yea Agent Venom shouldn't be too hard since its a repaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Love the transforming Ross head. I think Elektra is a great figure, but i was hoping for something a more aggressive in the facial design - or smirky.. or... just something to really set her apart visually from the Shadowlands wave. Deadpool looks great. Looks like a slip-on mask - which not everyone is a fan of, but i really like them. Punisher looks sweet too - That shot-gun is pretty sweet. I always prefer me some new characters, but this set is still pretty solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 yea Agent Venom shouldn't be too hard since its a repaint If they do a T-Bolts Venom at some point, it would be great to see not a repaint, but a new sculpt with the more organic, spiney armor he currently has. Especially since this Deadpool appears to be wearing a repaint of his armor from the Venom box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks it doesn't come out till next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Yeah, I'm all over this. And yes, bulked-up Abomination, por favor. and A-Bomb! and Skaar! Most definitely. A-Bomb is begging to be an Abomination variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiz Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Man this set looks sooooooo good. I want multiples but that might not be possible, like Zack said, these will sell like gangbusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Since Ghost Rider is joining the team, i bet we'll see a red venom/ghost rider 2pack next year, right? RIGHT?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 If Marvel is just announcing it, I doubt a T-Bolts GR would have made it into the line plan for next year. Seems kind of like the addition of Deathlok to Reminder's X-Force that never got made into a mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) If Marvel is just announcing it, I doubt a T-Bolts GR would have made it into the line plan for next year. Seems kind of like the addition of Deathlok to Reminder's X-Force that never got made into a mate. Chuck did say that the 2014 line up wasn't yet filled so even if he doesn't appear with Venom (i'm not so sure who else you could pack him with though, Red-Leader is just a guy with a red-big head in a hoodie,not that exciting)i'm pretty sure he will make it into the line. They culdn't make any GR mates due to the rights issues but now that they're back i think they'll at least consider the big names. Blackheart, a new Johny, a redone Mephisto (i'm happy with my old one bu there is room for improvement),Vengeance, phantom rider,zadkiel, human johny with boomstick,stuff like that. A halloween wave for next year would be great: Johny GR/Vengeance Human Johny/ Mephisto Phantom Rider/Mindless one or Wendigo Zarathos/Mindless one or Wendigo TRU: Blackheart/Masked Dr Strange Black Leather blade (the cotm one is really lacking)/TOD Dracula Man thing/Howard the Duck Moon Knight/ Deathwatch Hellstrom/Lucifer or The Hood And another strange tales-esque boxset: Living Mummy Scarecrow Brother Voodoo Blackout Also, they announced a new Ghost Rider ongoing. Hell to the yeah! I'll be definetely picking up GR and Silver Surfer. Maybe, Loki as well. Man, 2014 is looking sweet! Aliens, Pred, GR, SS,Prometheus, AVP, awesome, just awesome!
