thechrishaley Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I got the new ToyFare magazine (with Transformers movie toys cover story) in the mail yesterday, and it has a huge article on 2007 being the year of the Minimates. This article included a calendar of scheduled release times for all the upcoming series as well as pictures of 'Mates that hadn't been announced/shown yet. The next Target exclusive wave will be Spider-Man centered and out in the Spring (to coincide with the movie of course). The line-up for this wave is : "Torment" Spider-Man & Powerhouse Venom Melee Symbiote Spider-Man & Powerhouse Sandman "Civil War" Spider-Man & Transformation Venom Web Armor Spider-Man & Green Goblin (w/ removable mask) I'll try to get some scans up as soon as possible, if no one beats me to it.

Fujis Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks for the info Chris and yes, please post those scans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Oh my gentle Jesus, a removeable mask on Green Goblin?! First they steal my Wasp's head accessory for the Marvel Zombies line, then they steal my removeable goblin mask? I'd be angry if I wasn't so impressed with how they're implementing all these cool new innovations. Can't wait to see the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 BTW Fujis, good call on the McFarlane Spider-Man, as thats what "Torment Spider-Man" is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Bring on the scans! So, "Civil War" Spider-Man - is this the Iron-Spider costume? And Web Armor Spider-Man - is it this outfit? I will be so happy if it is the Spider-Armor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechrishaley Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Bring on the scans! So, "Civil War" Spider-Man - is this the Iron-Spider costume? And Web Armor Spider-Man - is it this outfit? I will be so happy if it is the Spider-Armor... "Civil War" definitely equals Iron-Spidey. There's no picture of the "Web Armor", but I'd have to assume that it is that version. Awesome customs, by the way, Boyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 thechrishaley - Thanks for the info, and the compliment! So - removeable mask Goblin, Iron Spidey - think these will be exclusive to Target, or will they show up in the direct market? Also, it looks like four out of five of the Minimates in the announced Spider-Man box set may also be available through Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearox Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 finally some spidey mates worth getting other than the first 3ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Finally, some Target minimates that aren't simple rehashes of the latest wave of figures. I'm happy Target is keeping the rolling stock going, but after the Astonishing X-Men/New Avengers 4-packs at TRU and wave 12 & 13 being released, the only thing I've been buying at Target was Ghost Rider and Daredevil. Does Iron Spidey feature the extra arms, or is he just a simple repaint of a blank minimate? I need to see these pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 BTW Fujis, good call on the McFarlane Spider-Man, as thats what "Torment Spider-Man" is. I missed something. What is "Torment Spider-Man"? Does ToyFare magazine hit comic book stores today (2/13) or tomorrow (2/14)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightViper Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 BTW Fujis, good call on the McFarlane Spider-Man, as thats what "Torment Spider-Man" is. I missed something. What is "Torment Spider-Man"? Does ToyFare magazine hit comic book stores today (2/13) or tomorrow (2/14)? "Torment" was a small story arc, featuring the Lizard I believe, drawn by MacFarlane.

Fujis Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 BTW Fujis, good call on the McFarlane Spider-Man, as thats what "Torment Spider-Man" is. Thanks! I'm unfamiliar with the Torment story arc but the detailing on the new Spidey screamed McFarlane. Can't wait to see those scans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllStarMatt Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 We do listen to what people want every once in a while, you know. BTW, Web Armor Spider-Man is indeed the silver spacey armor. Just think of him as a poor man's Silver Spidey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Any chance you got pics of Iron-Spidey and the rest handy, Matt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Yipee!!!! This is great news, please give us scans! Can't wait to get my Toy Fare. I'm curious to know if some of these are ones already proposed for the Spider-man Boxset announced at the Toy Fair. More so Powerhouse Venom and Transformation Venom. Hopefully after this, we can see more villians after Venom/Green Goblin/Sandman. I'm really pumped about the removable mask for GG. Thanks for sharing the news.

TBT! Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wow even more stuff... ok I'm officially going into overload mode! These sound like a great wave and it's good target are getting differnt "characters" as well as just the stuff from the boxed set. T.

Cappy Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 *POP!* My Spidey-happysense just pegged out! Very cool, very excellent Spider-Man wave. It's also great that Target is sitting up and taking notice of miniMates, getting exclusvies (or first run) and what not. I do believe our little plastic buddies have hit the big time, boys and girls! And the "Torment" storyline is from way back, when McFarlane thought he was a writer. It was the first story arc in his "Spider-Man" title (note no prefix words in the title name). If memory serves me.... which it rarely does.

Nervous Rex Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I think the "Torment "storyline is, indeed, the fact that we have not seen any scans yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechrishaley Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Here's the scans.. And here's the schedule.. Don't know if anyone cares, but there's also pics of two new Speed Racer 'mates in there as well! Sorry it took so long to get the scans up.

Mystery Man Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 So Series 17 ISN'T the Spider-Man wave? That takes the pain off for me, for sure, since I like Spider-Man but want new characters. I read "Torment" Spider-Man and was hoping for "Tormeny" Lizard... too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hang on a minute though. Does exclusive to Target mean there'll be no solicitation in Previews for the Spidey 2 pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
