minijeff Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Having seen pics of this wave I am impressed with what they did. I am sure most won't be and such but for myself I dig them. The different versions of Prof X's wheelchairs look great! Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 There's a still-blurry pic of the wave from head-on, so you can see pretty much everything, but aren't there not supposed to be pictures taken of this one? Don't want to get anyone in trouble for linking to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've seen the image in the corner of the Stay-Puft photo, but i was kinda hoping that DST had been ok'd to release clear images now that the show is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 ive seen very clear pics of these that were taken down, they look good, id guess that they still need some work (same with the GOTG ones) but the idea is there the wheelchairs are currently my favorite thing about them, awesome sculpts, past xavier's chair will make for some great comic xavier customs and it has a joystick controller for the user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 They weren't embargoed for the show, they were embargoed until Fox had seem them and signed off on them. Hopefully soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm surprisingly excited about these, I'm not really sure why, but the vague glimpses we got of them looked really good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimate-Maniac Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I can't wait to see these mates. I hope they are nice. With how underwhelming the Captain America and Amazing Spider-man 2 mates are I might have some funds saved up for this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 I can't honestly say the thought of two versions of three characters (Logan, Xavier, and Magneto) has me thrilled about this offering considering how many X-characters the movie's boasting so I'm more enthusiatic about Winter Soldier and AS-M2.

Yeah - i know what you mean. I was really hoping to see Blink & Bishop. Still, I'm loving the past Magneto & Mystique. I'd be bummed if they had skipped over them in favour of only doing the future cast, and i'd be disappointed if we lost out on Future Xavier & Rogue in favour of doing a past-only line-up. I'm taking a 'Glad to be seeing anything from this film' attitude on this one. Edited February 25, 2014 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Based on what we HAVEN'T made from the X-Men movies, which is a lot, I think Future Xavier, Future Magneto and past Mystique were all must-make figures. Ditto future Rogue, although we found out too late that she had been cut -- still, she's a highly visible team member. Past Magneto just looked too cool not to make, since he's got the most superhero-y suit of them all. And although we've made a movie-suit Wolverine, Future Wolverine gave us a chance to make a new and improved one. Past Wolverine I'm sure people here are less thrilled about, coming off of The Wolverine Wave, but he's '70s-tastic, plus I believe he will come with a bullet-riddled chest, which is kind of cool. And Past Xavier... Well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'll end up getting whatever DST offers since I generally enjoy collecting movie lines. I just wish they weren't so tip-of-the-iceberg, which seems to increasingly be the case lately for a variety of reasons. Between TRU's reluctance to get onboard and DST being unwilling/unable to offer more than one series, it's frustrating to see so much potential untapped.

Turtle Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I don't think we can really blame DST here. Every single 'mate is a must-have IMO. I wish we were getting more but not at the expense of what we are getting. This movie is just so big character-wise that there is no way for a single wave to satisfy. But when it comes down to it, I think future Xavier and future Magneto will give us quality 'mates that can be qc'd into some of the other characters easily enough.

MisterPL Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I wasn't implying a single wave would do the trick. It's just frustrating that when a character-rich movie like this hits, we've only got eight slots because TRU isn't interested and DST can't/won't offer more than one series and can't/won't revisit previous films.

elhonez Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I suspect that there would be adequate interest/support for a whole line, if not a couple of waves, of "X-Men Movie Universe" MiniMates. Perhaps after the inevitable success of this summer's DOFP. The Minis would cross all seven (has it really been that many?!?) films. I feel the same could be true for the Marvel Cinematic Universe... a new sub-line that crosses everything from the films, to the one-shots, to the SHIELD series, and any new/upcoming series like the Netflix 4 or Agent Carter. As things are currently managed, it really does feel to the end consumer (well, I'm speaking for myself here) that the wave apportionment is an either/or proposition. Someone like me who only buys comic waves ends up feeling like we're getting less and less as Marvel's cinematic ambitions increase. Four films this year? (X/Spidey/Cap/Guardians) The fanboy in me rejoices, the comic action figure collector sighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's definitely a crowded year for Marvel films. I feel your pain. But look at that wheelchair! Even if I were only collecting comic figures, that thing would be too tempting to pass up. Looking forward to seeing it painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 ya that chair is fantastic, seals the deal on the past xavier set for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I'm actually glad in a way that we're only getting one wave. As much as I love the X-Men films and DST really does a great job with the 'mates, I wouldn't want to lose a wave that could be comic X-Men to get more movie X-Men in black suits. I sympathize for everyone who does want that, but we're getting a lot of Marvel Movie 'mates this summer, and as great as I'm sure they will be there's only a certain amount of time for comic based waves before we have to get ready for summer 2015. I think we're getting some cool 'mates from this movie, I'm just trying to focus on the positive of it. I'm disappointed we're apparently not getting The Collector in GotG but there are only so many spots available.

Perhaps after the inevitable success of this summer's DOFP. The Minis would cross all seven (has it really been that many?!?) films. Inevitable? Given the number competing movies this summer, the questionable track record of some of the other films in the franchise, and the potential for this movie to be a mess (not saying it will be, but it could be) I think the success of DOFP is quite evitable. I can totally understand why DST wouldn't want to expand their offerings, even if it was a real option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
