Nessex Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Interesting that Pepper Potts is being referred to as 'Rescue Armor Iron Man'. I'm guessing this is purely to make the best sales impact possible, as Iron Man will be recognised by more kids than Rescue will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetton517 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 What's with the "Marvel's Hawkeye" and "Marvel's Nova"? I haven't noticed on the previous releases if they're labeled that way also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannii Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'll pass the Nova/Venom pack 'cause I've really had my share of Venoms. I don't need a purple one. But boy... do I want that Hawkeye and Black Widow pack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Jerk Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 What's with the "Marvel's Hawkeye" and "Marvel's Nova"? I haven't noticed on the previous releases if they're labeled that way also. I think that just started with Onslaught. Hasbro has been doing this already for any character that has conflicting trademark for an existing toy out there. For Hawkeye I think Spinmaster makes an RC helicopter by the same name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Looks good, I'm not digging Black Widow's hairpiece though. Not sure what bothers me about it. Maybe more volume? More hawkeye the better! Hope to find these soon. Yeah, I plan on giving her Dawn's hair from the Femme Fatales, or Classic Widow's hair.

Turtle Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I think it's more a proportion problem and that her face is too large than a problem with the hair. I'm hoping one of the movie heads will work a little better. And I'm hoping that there is a delay before these are released. As awesome as these look, wave 16 still hasn't hit locally.

I'm guessing this is purely to make the best sales impact possible, as Iron Man will be recognised by more kids than Rescue will. I was wondering about that too. I seem to remember Zach saying that they couldn't count Steve Rogers in his Super Solider costume as a Captain America variant because they couldn't call him "Captain America" on the package. I guess Pepper in the Rescue Armor could technically be called Iron Man, but it feels like a bit of a stretch. If I was a kid thinking I was getting Iron Man and there was a woman's face underneath the mask I'd be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexion_Armando Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 If I saw a female head in Rescue as a kid, I'd say its Tony Stark's sister, Trisha Stark lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Sample case of 17 came and went on TRU.com, sometime this morning. And of course there's no name or pics so you can't tell what is what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) At least the UPC numbers are with them... I think. #699788726631 (Spidey and Electro?) #699788726648 (Nova and Venom?) #699788726662 (Widow and Hawkeye?) #699788726655 (Robot Hulk and Rescue?)

bilbofett Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) The product number is also there(for those who call their stores ahead of time) 965153. I'm glad they changed the number, I hope they go back to a new number per wave. Edited October 21, 2013 by bilbofett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yeah, definitely. From the way wave 16 was described on the site vs this wave ("Marvel Minimates Assortment" vs "Marvel Minimates Wave 17"), and the shared item number, it's almost like wave 16 got treated like a space filler or refresh assortment rather than an actual new wave. I heard several times from a couple stores that the old item number had been discontinued and wouldn't be stocked, so maybe it only got "refreshed" at some stores.

pk13 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Tawnie Stark? Great, now I'm thinking of Tawny Kitaen. So all day I'm going to hear a Whitesnake song in my head and think about her beating Chuck Finley's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 OMG TRU you suck badly. I ordered the series 17 wave from the .com store and everything but one item I added in for my son got cancelled. I am now paying more in shipping and taxes for a Matchbox truck than I am for the actual truck and I get no Minimates. I've really had it with TRU.
