While the pre-posed design elements irk me to a degree (Elektra Daredevil all over again where it can only be posed in a certain way), it looks fantastic overall. And the new glider? Fucking BEAUTIFUL. Same with the tentacles on Carolyn Trainer. Those are just god-tier. I hope to see these new parts reused more for future Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus Minimates because they look nothing short of astounding to me. Gotta say, I loved the new Elektra. Some elements require dynamic movements because they look flat otherwise (cough cough, Angel's wings should be extended, cough cough). Besides, the windswept hair on Kaine borders on ridiculous in the most awesome 90's way possible and I have at least one pop diva QC in mind for that 'do. I can't wait to get these!

No, I mean, I liked the new Elektra as well, just... IDK. I'm not sure how much room it could've taken up in the box set, but some alt. parts for a more neutral mask and sash would have been welcome if you just wanna pose her normally.

buttheadsmate Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Thank you Zach , I wasn't absolutely sure . On 4/22/2024 at 1:20 PM, TheMinimateKing30 said: No, I mean, I liked the new Elektra as well, just...

So ,now I'm sure , it would be nice to have a couple of 'neutrals' when the std. Minimate is dynamic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padrino Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 2 hours ago, thereasonsy said: Amen. I get what you guys are saying. I think there are plenty of preexisting figures with static parts to fit (aside from her mask sash) for a "neutral" pose. I've been kind of hoping from some dynamic designs for a while. Like, even the slight flair in the newer capes offers a sense of movement or "power" that the old flat capes didn't give. IMHO, at least.

luke314pi Posted Monday at 05:03 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:03 PM Diamond had a Marvel Showcase 2024 special on YouTube this morning. Although no new Minimates were shown, we did get a better look at this set. The Minimates section of the video starts around 3:29 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT--LcdvwVg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted Monday at 05:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:16 PM Looking good! Nice to see you and hear you speak again, Zach. The blues and purples on Spider-Man, Green Goblin and Kaine look much better on these samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nandoninny Posted Monday at 05:47 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:47 PM (edited) sorry if this has been covered -- what story (or plural) is this tied to if we wanted to read up. i quit reading comics for a bit in the 90's and honestly NONE of these designs look familiar to me but it looks like a crazy story. EDIT i just saw the two series posted on the prior page of the post. d'oh! any others i should look for? is this version of doc ock in there?

buttheadsmate Posted Monday at 06:37 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:37 PM (edited) Those are great-looking minimates , that Jackal is superb . After all these years I still wish all minimates had fingered hands , the Jackal & the Spider-guy make Doc.Ock's minimate hands (in particular) look almost odd Edited Monday at 06:37 PM by buttheadsmate sp.
