Reideen1313 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Those images really sell the line. For me, I think Venom looks better now that I've seen the Hasbro figure and could see the way the costume's web design is pretty crazy - like Eddie Brock. Makes sense to me and looks less like someone colored on the 'mate with a sharpie (as someone here mentioned). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwise Gamgee Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Excellent, thanks for the link ARE-JAY! Gwen looks fantastic and I'm very happy to see a normal Peter head. That would go great with a suit and tie body. Also, notice that series 17 shows Black Spidey as being normal like the con 2-pack and not big-chested like before.

maxcarnage Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I am confused. In one picture we see black suit Spiderman with a power house chest but in the one revealed today it seems he is the same as the two pack? Will black Spiderman come with a power house chest and under their will actually be something printed? Or was that pict just a mistake and he will come as in the two pack?

Fujis Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I think the Powerhouse version is an early prototype that they've since revised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 WOW!. Now those group shots look a hell of a lot better (except for Venom). The addition of the sand mallet and fist to Flint Marko really sells the mate better. The girls look nicer, more crisp and detailed. Maskless Peter Parker look heads and shoulders over what we saw last week and the NOW REVEALED BD Spidey looks fantastic to. It's still to bad that Venom looks like crap.

Cappy Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 It's still to bad that Venom looks like crap. He'll get there, I'm sure. Here's hoping the sandy arms for Flint Marko are an accessory -- I'd like to have regular human arms for him too. Probably more so, since we get sandy arms in Wave 18.

Probably more so, since we get sandy arms in Wave 18. Well, looking at the pic I notice the same inner arm grooves we've seen on the other Sandman moviemate so maybe these are in fact accessory arms which can slide over the regular arms?

NightViper Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I think the hole is just there to lighten the weight of the arms. Otherwise they'd probably be too heavy for the little shoulder ball joint to hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Original "reveal" shots indicated Flint Marko with normal arms, and perhaps speaking as a completist I can always mix and match between the other Sandman so I hope the sand arms on him just accessories or kewlness done for the images.

If you'll notice, the Flint MM has green and black stripes on his shoulders where as the Sandman does not. Maybe we'll get 2 sets of arms with Flint. Here's hoping.

blacksun1520 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Looks like anyone that preordered the con 2 pack from DST should be getting their mates soon!! I checked my order today and it now says "pending" rather than "available 3/26" ...maybe this week UPS will be making a delivery :biggrin: BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I just hope that they get the lead out on these, as I bought a set for a birthday that is fast approaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'm sure Venom will look better when they finally are released, but I think part of it is the minimate style, Venom's look is harder to translate to a round flat surface as his teeth and mouth often come off looking flat to me. I've wondered what it would look like if they added a layer to his head to make it more distinctive and possibly capture his jaw the way it often appears somewhat elongated. Sort of like how they modified the C3 Martian Manhunter's brow. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just got my confirmation of shipment on the spidey 2 pack :biggrin: you others that preordered should probably check your email too. BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like how they modified the C3 Martian Manhunter's brow. What do you guys think? The original MM Venom was pulled of nicely (with the inclusion of a second head). And the powerhouse Venom in the upcoming DST boxed set looks good as well (facewise). I'm still hoping that the prototype is just a roughed up version. As far as a seperate headpiece is concerened.... I don't think Venom neccassarily needs one. It might make his head look top heavy (to bulky). That's my 2 cents.

you_will_forget Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I wonder if it's similar to Transformers prototypes - they often deliberately mess up a part of the paint scheme in order to... annoy people? I think the idea is to make them less desirable to proto thieves, but I'm not sure. Suffice to say, we've seen it a few times. Anyway, that's my little bit of information for the day. As you were.

Cyc Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Not the same sort of thing, they only mess up the paint/color schemes of the factory test samples, not the prototypes used for photography for packaging and solicts like these are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
