MisterPL Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Saw these yesterday at the shop. Pretty cute. I may have to pick up a set, maybe during a protracted drought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I love the set, but after looking at the box art for mothra, then looking at him in my hands, I feel like the box art misrepresents what you are getting as far as mothra goes.

CBMM1 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Could you elaborate on that? What's wrong with Mothra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I saw this set today and it looks pretty cool. My local comic shop had two if anyone is interested in tracking down this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) It's not like that,the art makes it look like the wings attach on the back, and the arm pegs on the torso are not in the pic. So when I was looking at it before I opened it, the pegs were there and threw me off. I'm sure I saw a con pic at some point that showed it, so I guess I forgot but the wings plug into the arm joints which the box doesn't really show. It still looks good but his wingspan and overall size is now bigger that I expected. I'll post some pics when I get home. Edit - I no longer feel that way after looking at everything again. Sorry about that. Edited November 3, 2014 by arnim zola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Works for me though. Mothra is supposed to have a really big wingspan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 So first I have have group shots, then some scale shots with other mates. I've been too busy to take them outside and do some cool nature shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The only thing I would say is remotely disappointing about Mothra is that the wing colors on the package shot are more vivid then the figure. But man is he awesome. I had the set on the coffee table, and my wife was walking by and picked him up, which she rarely does. She said he may be her new favorite Minimate. I think he's one of the best examples of pushing the Minimate form I've ever seen. Oh, the rest of the set is pretty nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 So what about Mothra is still "Minimate?" The base chest block and head? Size of the stand hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Head and chest. The mothra head comes off and could be put on another character like a cool hat. The hole in his leg piece fits a regular flight stand, which it came with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 He actually seems much more like a Minimate then the rest of the set, to me at least, seeing as how he still has a Minimate head. All the others have heads that fit into a peg sculpted into the torso overlay (as opposed to fitting on a standard Minimate neck peg). Gives them more height, I guess, but really throws off the aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I cannot wait to get my hands on this set so I can take some pics of a cool setup I have with Giant Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I cannot wait to get my hands on this set so I can take some pics of a cool setup I have with Giant Man! That... makes so much sense... Finally found something to do with Zombie Galactus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
