hellpop Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think I remember having the same reaction to that guy when he interviewed Zach last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netglow Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) The AFX (Alien & Ultron) exclusives are in stock at Amazon w free Prime shipping, if you want to skip the ridiculously expensive and slow AFX shipping. Also, this seller has the SDCC Ant Man set for $17 w free shipping. I guess he got a discount since he has over 70 in stock. That or he stole a bunch of cases from the DST booth. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MARVEL-Minimates-ANT-MAN-BOX-SET-SDCC-LTD-3000-UNOPENED-ANTMAN-DIAMOND-SELECT-/400957591697?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d5aef5091 Damn. I panicked and ordered all those from AFX Monday. Oh well. Same (Well, paid, not ordered.). They sounded like they'd sell out quick. I see that waiting list thing is a lie... Live and learn.

Onyx_6 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I had ordered with afx last week. I sent them an email after ordering the ones from Amazon asking them to cancel the order. I already got a response saying it had been cancelled and my money refunded to my credit card. I saved $10 and ordered an extra Alien!

Netglow Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 See, I did paypal. I would get a 10% dock on the return I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Is it a return if they cancel or refund the money prior to shipment? I don't know as I rarely use PayPal outside of eBay. And I think my shipping cost was close to 18% of the product prices; you may still come out ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I panicked and ordered all those from AFX Monday. Oh well. I didn't watch the video. I didn't even click the link. But I'd bet a fiver you're talking about Shartimus Prime. I understand how he gets work, it's how he gets views that boggles my mind. He only got my view by interviewing Zach Oat. I didn't click it either but I thought to myself, it must be that goofy guy. And it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roccothegreat Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 stoked for gotham ones. it can only be good for DC in the future. plus if they get flash or arrow you know it will help open doors for even more dc/minimate goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 They are also doing stuff for IZombie, which is another DC (Vertigo) property. I'd be surprised if we don't see sets from that eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Honestly, I've heard good things about iZombie but we haven't gotten into it. The whole "zombie" craze just doesn't appeal to me (beyond The Walking Dead show, and that's mainly waiting to see who bites it next). But if any iZombie Minimates come out and they look good I'll get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 My gf read the izombie comic and said they ruined it wth te show. So I never checked it out. Don't think the shows for the boy demographic anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I watched the first 3 episodes of izombie this past weekend, I liked it enough I'll watch more, but i haven't read the comic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Grantland had an interesting item on Comic-Con by a comics writer yesterday: http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/comic-book-writer-futire-of-comic-con/ I do think this answers one of the questions as to why DST released all that info about upcoming figures before the show. Everything gets lost in all the noise, so it's better to get that info out beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Got my Amazon stuff! Opened the AoU set: They're great! I really like Ultron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 That definitely looks like a better Ultron. Hopefully we'll get a better Iron Man in that armor for Civil War. And I'm getting quite a collection of movie Tony Stark Minimates. He's rivaling movie Logans at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netglow Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I've taken to putting wolverine hair on my tony starks ... but in all honesty I just put his head under every helmet. Bigger diversity in my spare heads that way. Anyway, what is in the pack accessory wise? Also, any way to get a comparison shot of old and final form ultron?

winkerbean Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Every time we get a new Iron Man I hope we get a hand like this one and when we don't get it a little bit of me dies inside Hail Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Jacket, sleeves, and gauntlet for Tony, hair for Iron Man, gun & patchless head for Nick, normal hands & feet for Ultron.I'm at work, but I can compare Ultrons when I get home.

DSTZach Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 My gf read the izombie comic and said they ruined it wth te show. So I never checked it out. Don't think the shows for the boy demographic anyway. I saw the show first, then went and read the comic, and was kinda let down by how different it was. I enjoy Allred's art, though. We release info every month in Previews, and that is tied to a production schedule, so it's tough for us to hold back massive announcements if we're trying to meet a timeline of product release. As far as Minimates goes, we debuted a couple things in the case, and a couple things at the panel, but we also debuted a lot of non-Minimates product. And we announced a few items in advance of the show to let people know to come by the booth and see it in person, because counting on them to check you out at such a big show is unreliable. I honestly meant to announce more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
