arnim zola Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 They only have 1 customer service agent, so accounting for days off and other duties, it might take some time. she's really helpful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Has anyone found gray arms that match Red Skull's torso? I've tried a few so far but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just got my set and I must say the quality of this wave is abysmal. Apart from almost everything covered in sticky gunk from the tray tape, so many pieces were fused together. I'm amazed I didn't break half of the pieces, although there's a little paint damage from where they were fused. As a veteran of this, no biggie... but if I was a new customer, i wouldn't purchase Minimates again. Zach... are you sure there isn't a second factory!?

JoeyCrypts Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 must be one of the lucky ones, cause I had no issues with this wave, other than the usual tape residue on the shield which always wipes off easily enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we (serious minimate fans) are part of the problem? I know in the past 12 months I've had more minimates with quality problems that made them not displayable than I've had the previous 10 years of collecting minimates. It's among the things that's made me purchase less this year, but I know I wouldn't be near this tolerant with any other company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I pretty much had every single piece of Onslaught stuck to Red Skull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 - Iron Man's helmet will not come off for me. I'll have to fidget with it some more. Just wanted to add that Iron Man's helmet required no extra fidgeting. I just let it air out for a couple days and it slipped right off. No freezing or boiling, I just let it sit out in room temperature. And I'd rather deal with tape residue (so long as it doesn't compromise the tampos) than missing accessories.

Heinous Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I don't know how people have a hard time getting stuck masks off. A fingernail or a nail clipper file and some patience has done me good. I can't imagine resorting to slicing open the back of the helmet Edited August 31, 2015 by Heinous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I've only had a problem getting a mask off once in my entire run of collecting these from Series 1, but I don't want to dismiss those who have had problems. I wish I had a secret to share. Maybe room temperature does help, I usually display mine for a few days before I really start switching them around.

Turtle Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Last night I finally managed to get Falcap's hands and cuffs off only to find that the wing with shield peg is too small to fit on his arm. Boiling it should work, but the amount of work I've had to put into this figure... frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The more parts these figures come with, the more I expect to find instructions printed on an insert. Not all of these parts are intuitive, even for veterans like me. I imagine most newbies wouldn't know any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortherX Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 believe me, cutting down the back of the mask was not my go to. i tried using my finger nails (which are not long), a thumb tack, a paper clip... nothing worked because the head would just pop off the peg. i did discover on Star-Lord, tho, that the head hole for the peg goes all the way thru. holding on to the very edge of his mask, i was able to slip a paper clip up thru the hole and pop it off of the head. this did not work for Iron Man, though.

Gmonkey2k Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Finally picked up the Hobgoblin and Carnage pack. I am EXTREMLEY glad I did. I was torn between this pack and The Falcap/Ronsluaght pack. I wasn't very excited for the Carnage, but once I had him in hand, I was very pleased. Also, I want to note that NONE of the tampo came of with the tape, which I was worried about thanks to you guys Definatly one of, if not THE stand out pack (/) Five bananas outta five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I'm still not that crazy about the Carnage figure, but that Hobgoblin.........probably one of my favorites of all! It just came out so perfect looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah the Carnage was unnecessary beings we got a perfect one from the Luke box set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Carnage is awesome. I think the character he represents is funny, hero Carnage. I love how his eyes are done and the red detailing on his chest too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 The design is actually based on the Clayton Crain "redesign" from a few years back. During AXIS the design was inconsistent, with him appearing like this in a few issues and with his classic look in others. All in all, this is just modern Carnage, as his "hero" tenure didn't give him a new costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah the Carnage was unnecessary beings we got a perfect one from the Luke box set I felt the same way at first until I read his bio and realized this is a totally different character. And his look is different enough for me to accept him. Would I rather have another character like Kraven? Oh, yes. But I'm sure this one was more cost effective from the perspective of a first assortment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
