Ronan The Accuser Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) 9 hours ago, Tommy Wiseau said: I know a few people are disappointed with Vulture, but as someone who got into minimates after the Friends & Foes boxset had been released for some time, I’m really glad I won’t have to try and talk myself into spending $60 to finish off the Sinister Six now. That's a good point. Most of the redos in this wave are pricey. It's cool that people can get them at normal price with this set. DST covered all the bases with this lineup, something for everyone. I've had a zombie Vulture sitting here for a while now waiting to be turned into the Drago version. At this point it'd be easier to get the new one and save myself the hassle of trying to match paints. So if I'm now buying three of the packs, might as well grab the fourth to complete that neato Spider-Slayer. Looks like I'm in for the set! Edited January 25, 2019 by Ronan The Accuser Felt like it.

stack32 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Would a translucent Molten Man really capture his comic look? Everything I've seen makes me think gold is perfect though I'm not the most familiar with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan The Accuser Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 No, you're right. For classic comic look it should definitely be gold or yellow. Translucent wouldn't fit with that, though I admit I haven't seen the modern version. Not sure if it's different or not. Man it's nice to see a comic wave thread rolling along again. I thought about this wave all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a neat wave. Miles is the kind of weak link in an otherwise killer assortment, and even that is kind of cool if you're a big fan of the character. You're right on looking at a larger image what I thought where edges of the frames are actually the headband wrapping around the head block. When I first saw the figure I was like they are some big Edna Everage style glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceCuseCuse Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 This wave is great, but I was really hoping we'd get a new Shocker! Hopefully soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yes, I was hoping for Shocker and Boomerang but the clues made that seem unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I know prototypes never show translucency. @DSTZach can you confirm if the fire/water/smoke pieces will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 This’ll definitely be another series where I buy 2 custom cases. When DST puts this kinda stuff out i wanna support it as much as possible. The only did (for me) is Miles. I know folks like him and while I do, I would’ve much preferred a classic Beetle, Shocker, Boomerang, Jackal or Tombstone. Ah well. This is still such a great line-up even with the one I don’t want thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the reason the selection and TBH I’ll probably just slap a miles face on it. That way I will have a civilian look for him.
