TENIME_art Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Found the wave tonight, grabbed them all except Thor/Hela, since I already have the box on preorder. Grabbed Valkyrie/Hulk, so that's one less TRU I'll have to track down. My Skurge has some schmutz on his face, though, and there were only one of each, so I had no extras to choose from.

Dave Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Can anyone help me with this wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I will keep an eye out, Dave. Walgreens and TRU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) yes both, my local walgreens manager is trying to get them Edited September 5, 2017 by Dave further explanation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjl80 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The game is afoot! I'm on a day off from work for doctor and dentist appointments and there are multiple Walgreens in the area. Hunted through 4 this morning, found a single Thor-Hela pack. Just a small taste, but enough to get me plotting to find a few more on route to the other errands I want to run today. Is TRU worth stopping into yet? Or just Walgreens getting these so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha_ckwave Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Picked up the Walgreens wave today in MA, these seem to be hitting the Northeast now (NY, CT, MA). No interest in the box set so I grabbed all 4 sets. Also nabbed Walgreens Wave 5 the other day at a different location so distribution for Walgreens seems decent lately at least up here. We'll see what happens with Wave 6 and if there's a lot of wave 5 and Ragnarok leftovers clogging shelves preventing a push out. Anyone have a recommendation on a 2 sided axe for Skurge that I can steal from another minimate? Not against seeking out a random set just for a decent axe.

Skip TRU for now. No sightings yet as far as I know, nothing on ebay either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I just picked up the box set. Happy to see alternate noggins for Bruce and Hela. Oh, and Thor has this thing on his head. It's not hair. It's almost like a helmet but that can't be right because Thor never wears a helmet. Queer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 23 minutes ago, sha_ckwave said: Anyone recognize which set this axe comes from? That looks like Dark Avengers Ares'. It'd be my first choice for Skurge, personally. DC Ares' axe is a bit closer to his classic style, but it has a pretty simple sculpt and it might not fit in a regular minimate's hands (?).

Freaqualizer Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Those are amazing @DSTZach! Great shots! @sha_ckwave that is Ares, as was mentioned earlier. Which is a pretty expensive mate for just the axe and the box set is pretty pricey as well Dave, a board member, made an axe for Skurge and a helmet for his classic look. Both are on Shapeways!

sha_ckwave Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Sweet I have that set with Ares. He can keep his sword, Skurge is getting that axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjl80 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Success! Finished my errands, saw The Inhumans, and hit a Walgreens on the route home. Saw one full set, snagged the ones I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I ran across these yesterday at Walgreens. I'm not collecting anymore, but these looked great and definitely had me tempted. Other than the Tommy Wiseau 'mate, they all look killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 At first glance I thought the alternate Hela head looked like Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Anyone else bugged by how high masked Hela's eyes are? I'm not loving the larger than usual gap between them & her mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Oddly enough, I found ONLY the 2 exclusive 2-packs at one of the Walgreen's near me. The 2 Gladiator packs were gone. The other 5 I hit on Tuesday didn't have either the Thor wave or the DC Vinimates. And the Thor/Loki pack didn't have a Walgreen's sticker on it, either. Strange!

The Scarlet Spider Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Eh I wish the banner was in the waves instead of the wiseau mate. Leaving a space open for Valkyrie to be in the box set too. I'd probably have bought multiples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Top heavy Skurge just bugged me so I painted him some boots. Hela needed a sword and collar paint as well. Much happier with them after modifications. Also, with a little paint the DC Ares axe works very well for a comic Skurge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
