gambitron Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Didn't think I would pick these up but saw them at TRU today and they looked so great I had to have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Since there aren't any differences between these and the box set I just need Ozy and Specter. Might have to go a-hunting after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hit two stores last night. None of these or Alien Covenant (still). I already have the box on its way, so I only need the two pack with the last characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Neither of those in Madison as of yesterday, either, Ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hooray! I found Silk Spectre and Ozymandias, now the team is complete. (Is it too much to ask for the Minutemen?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Is this it for the Watchmen minimates? I'd love to get comic accurate costumes for Ozy and young Comedian. And Bubastis Maybe if that HBO show happens. You never know with DC Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here! Picked them up on Thursday and kept marveling at how nice the packaging looked. Finally opened them tonight after work and they turned out great. It was really nice to assemble the entire team in one set. Bring on the Minutemen, GA looks (S Spectre, Nite-Owl) or comic looks... I think I'd be onboard for all of it.

stack32 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Picked up the exclusive pack and an extra Manhattan and Rorschach yesterday. They really do look excellent in the package. The Ozy and Silk Spectre sets all seemed to have minor paint issues. I wish DST would fix the stand/foot issue as it's definitely present again on this wave. I think a full wave of Minutemen is pretty unlikely. How many variants of the main characters could they make? I can see an extra Nite Owl and Rorschach but not much else.

MisterMiracle Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 So how many 2-packs are available at Toys R Us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I just picked up the TRU set today. Thanks to my TRU's terrible merchandising, it was a bit of a hunt.  The Watchmen were in the Marvel aisle, next to a peg of Spider-Man 'mates, which weren't merchandised with the Spider-Man product at the front of the store or with the other Spidey stuff in the Marvel aisle. They were in the spot that should have been occupied by Marvel Series 23. That assortment was hanging with the Spidey product. ?  Please tell me im not the only one who fixes stuff like this.

Trekker 42 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I grabbed a set at the Alpharetta TRU. Beautiful set of figures there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufemizm Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) I wish these were of the comic characters, but the movie's pretty close. If anything I wish we got a pudgy Nite Owl. Here's all the alternate looks. It took me a minute to realize that the second crotch piece was Dr. Manhattan's shorts.  Edited July 17, 2017 by ufemizm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'm waiting for Florida Mom to realize that there's a naked blue man being sold at TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvenproofBug6 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 @DSTZach So, I guess I'll address one of the big elephants in the room; does DST have the rights to make vehicles for this property? Aka, is there a chance we may see Archie in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'd settle for an electronic Archie that just happened to be in scale with Minimates. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I've moved entire pegs and placed them in an area that makes way more sense. On 7/15/2017 at 4:38 PM, NerdyTrev said: Only three.

There's no need to buy the box set, especially since you can buy all three packs for a few dollars more at TRU. I think that's kind of a questionable decision if DST wants LCS support on this line, but I'm sure there's a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel this but I'm hoping to find two of the TRU exclusives and the other 2 packs and then pick up an extra box set from lukes at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
