TENIME_art Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I still need the Zemo/Cap pack, but I'm flat broke until Friday, need gas, and just got a $3 rewards coupon from them anyway, so I hope I can find it this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) found these in Seattle area fyi also for those that care Cap does not have an alt look, as besides the head he is just a blue blank figure under the armor Edited December 6, 2017 by Mattallica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Wasp would be a lot more exciting if she looked anything like her comic counterpart, but that isn't DST's fault. I've never heard of Screwball, but this one seems to be pretty close to her comic look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillbob316 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yeah... I usually tend to be an animated minimates apologist, haha. And by that I mean, some people around here often say things like, "Grr! I want a comic book version of this character! I hate this animated one!" and I'm like, "This animated one... looks almost exactly how I'd expect a comic book minimate to look, other than some mild shading. This is a perfectly fine version of this character, and I endorse it." ... I can't do that for this wave. In good conscience. Haha. Jackal looks wonky to me. I wish he was just a standard minimate body, no powerhouse chest, no animal legs, and I wish they'd stop re-using the ultimate Green Goblin head for characters who aren't Green Goblin. The Silhouette just strikes me as Green Goblin instantly, and looks wrong on other characters. I get that they're trying to use it as a generic pointy-eared head... but I think they'd be better off just making a new pointy eared head... probably with straight more elfy/werewolfy ears. Those little curvy-bends in that one's ears just... instantly look like Ult. Green Goblin to me. I admittedly love Wasp... this is going to be my new Default Wasp, just being less retro than older ones. Probably with the mask off, but I like the mask on too. Makes me excited to see future versions that will most certainly be coming when the next movie hits. I hate Modok, he looks like an angry can of soup. I think they made him cylindrical to evoke the shape of a minimate head, but it doesn't work imo. I vastly prefer MvC3 Modok, and will continue to use him as my default Modok. MvC3 Modok was perfect for such an odd-shaped Minimate. Madame Masque... this is not the Madame Masque I know. This is not the Madame Masque of my youth... haha. I'm wondering if you put the hairpiece on top of the masked head, if it would evoke a look that was a little more comic book esque... I'm probably going to do that. I hope there's a peg hole in the masked head, so that's actually possible. If not I will be vexed. But yeah. This is going to be one of those minimates that just bugs me for not being a passable comic book version and makes me want a 616 minimate all the more. (See my Grey Gargoyle comments in the Avengers Villain Poll Thread, haha) I don't know who Screwball is. Someone tell me please. Is she created for the cartoon, or an actual comic character I'm just not familiar with? Black Panther looks solid. His little ears are kinda cute. I'm not sure if cute is good or bad on a superhero, haha. Peter and Gwen are alright... hard to get excited, have better versions of both those costumes, but they're the anchor characters, so I get it. No complaints. They accomplish what they're supposed to, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this series of Spider-Man Minimates comes with character bios because, to be honest, that's about as much as I know about 80% of these characters. I'm a DC guy.

BuffaloDelorean Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 There are bios in the press release, although I'm not sure how close they are to the comics. Screwball seems to be a comic character, based on the fact that I saw Humberto Ramos art when I googled the name. Wasp and Masque look like nice minimates, but they're too far (in terms of design, not style) from the comics for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Screwball made her debut (I think) in amazing Spider-Man, in the late 500s I believe. She would have someone following her and filming her as she did "villainous" things. She was pretty goofy, so perfect for an animated show. She looks pretty much like that in the comics from what I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 @Gillbob316I seriously doubt masque has a hole in her head, but you can cut the peg off the hair and place it on it, that's a pretty good idea actually. I also think the mask off wasp will be good enough for a comic version for the time being too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The female representation is awesome! And that Wasp is soooooooo close to the 616 Wasp I want that it hurts. I might just have to buy her and see if she'll fit in with the 616 Avengers 'mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Huh! Well those suck! Wasp is ok i guess, the rest look like dollar store figures, but these cost $4.25 each I mean, Jackal looks like a mentally challenged Gremlin. Meh Edited December 7, 2017 by Mattallica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannii Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I had to Google to be sure Screwball was a girl and not a man... I don’t watch the show but is she plain like that? Not even a lipstick? Wasp looks pretty close to her comic version if you keep her with the hair piece. Madame Masque looks like a robot to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 This is not a knock on DST, but the animators...... that MODOK is terrible!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) @bilbofettthat's actually pretty close to what modok looks like these days in the comics unfortunately Edited December 7, 2017 by Heinous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 A little too cartoony for my tastes guys... and I GET it. They're based on a cartoon, but these seem particularly basic to me. I guess the Black Panther looks okay, but why would I pick him up when the movie versions look better and come out around the same time. Modok is a definite downgrade from the last one LOL. Sad. I wanted a Jackal and a modern Wasp, but I think I'm going to have to pass on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Sorry people don't like them! They are not intended to be substitutes for movie figures or even 616 characters, and I don't think they seem more simplified than other animated Minimates. That said, I think that most would look fine in a 616 collection, except Jackal and Masque. And Jackal is pretty cartoon accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I suppose the animated line is hit or miss with me personally. I really liked the Medusa, Kang and Falcon minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I still need a spider gwen so will try an pick this up. Spidey is ok but just bland. Screwball could pass for comic style from what I remember but the mouth on that figure just completely ruins it for me. When I first saw Jackel I didn't realize who it was but the ears an mohawk scream Stripe from gremlins . I don't know much about modern wasp so not much to say except I can see a female beetle custom in there if someone gets inspired. Modok and Masque are both butt fuggin ugly and I wish I could remove the images from my memory if that Modok was in the running for this years worst minimate award it would get my vote. Panther is a nice figure and could go into a modern 616 display. All in all one figure I would like, one figure I wouldn't mind and the rest either burn or just not bothered by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 @MiniFiend UKwhy bother with a lady beetle custom when there is one coming out in the next tru wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Is this wave a delayed April fools joke? It says they are out April 1, 2017. Like, 7 months ago. And all of them do look accurate to the tv cartoon versions. Although, I don’t recall having seen either Spider-people in the show, yet? Screwball, in the cartoon, is Liz Allen. She is a prankster who tries too hard to prank Spidey after she feels he upstaged her on her show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Man, when people on the MMMV are saying meaner things about Minimates than commenters on the Marvel Facebook page, there's something wrong somewhere. No need to burn a figure just because you don't like it. And the MODOK is, again, pretty accurate to the cartoon, although it looks like Barry went with a more cylindrical head because, hey, Minimates. If you want a comic accurate, relatively "realistic" MODOK, we've done that, too. Should be 2018. Not a hoax, not an imaginary story, just a typo.
