youbastards Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Very cool! What is the purpose of the clear head block? Quote
JeffBohn Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Can't wait! Valiant has been doing a good job promoting the mates. Ads in the comics, giveaways on twitter, had them at their table at C2E2 and have little photo-comics in the back of some issues. Quote
DSTZach Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I believe it is to mount the helmet on the stand. Quote
Nervous Rex Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Also, the helmet has a clear visor! Squeeee! Well, that's just too fantastic!!!!! I'll take two please! Quote
Shanester Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I bought the TRU set and I'll get this, too. Quote
luke314pi Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 These are hitting next Wednesday, along with Kill Bill: Deadly Foes and Sin City 3. Quote
youbastards Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Has anyone compared the colors on the 2 X-O Manowar releases to see if they match? I'd like to make a non-battle damaged version with the new helmet. Quote
DSTZach Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Looking at mine, the new set's yellow is just a hair warmer, and the blue is just a smidge paler, but I honestly don't know that you'd notice. Quote
Mysterious Stranger Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Has anyone compared the colors on the 2 X-O Manowar releases to see if they match? I'd like to make a non-battle damaged version with the new helmet. OAFE has a shot of the helmet on the first figure. Its just a head/shoulders shot but its enough to see any color difference. http://www.oafe.net/blog/2015/08/minimate-mini-review-252-battle-damaged-x-o-manowar-bloodshot/ Quote
JeffBohn Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Looks pretty good I think. Bring on more Valiant minimates! Edited August 17, 2015 by JeffBohn Quote
Kostisfire Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 ....This was my most anticipated 2-pack in a while and now...Now I can't even use PayPal at least until December...Goddammit Baroufakis... Quote
MisterPL Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 This is what I get for going on vacation. When did this 2-pack hit? Quote
Valo487 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 2-3 weeks ago I think. Zach, when can we find out more about future Valiant 'mates? Quote
Zak Katz Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 These sets are amazing, the second one especially. The figures them selves are wonderfully done, and the sets are packed with accessories. I love the helmet for XO and his sword. Bloodshot's alternate head is sick, cool, and awesome. I'm excited about the future of this line. Quote
karamazov80 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Pretty off topic, but I was watching an old Reading Rainbow episode with the kids yesterday, and there was a segment going behind the scenes with Valiant comics circa 1992. Some of those hairstyles were fantastic. Quote
Kostisfire Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) We may announce next month. Yipee! PleasebeNinjakandRaiPleasebeNinjakandRaiPleasebeNinjakandRai... Edited August 24, 2015 by Kostisfire Quote
JeffBohn Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Ninjak and Rai would be my first choice too, the most toyetic of the bunch! Followed by Shadowman and Master Darque. Not as visually interesting, but down the road I'd like Archer and Armstrong. Then Eternal Warrior and Ivar. Not a huge fan of Quantum and Woody, but they'd be visually more interesting... and give us a Goat! Divinity would be neat, and if we get that far Livewire. And the Harbinger Renegades team as a boxed set. And, since I'm dreaming, a Gold Key (I know, separate license) box set of Turok, Magnus, Solar and Dr. Spektor (I dunno, just throwing a fourth in there). Quote
JeffBohn Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 In response to the success of Magic Mike and the sequel, Valiant has chosen to go a different way with their upcoming movies... Quote
JeffBohn Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 It said MIX AND MATCH PARTS. It's not my fault Quote
