bilbofett Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Were these a West Coast only thing? I'm in Michigan and I have them. For those of you wondering why S.T.R.I.P.E. has the little handles on his back, this is how Courtney used to get around before she got the Gravity Rod from Jack Knight: Just another amazing little detail that makes this set my favorite of wave 6! Dude, that is awsome! Thanks for sharing this info. And thanks to MINI-MYTE, and everyone for the pics!! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Customizer Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 The Wonderwoman and Tigra look alike (hey...i havent gotten into DC comics just yet. Im working on it) look pretty good and i dont partiuclarly care for Wonder Woman. In fact the Tigra look alike is an attention grabbing piece. I liked the STRIPE figure before i found out it had handles on its friggin' BACK that would allow Starr Girl to hitch a ride. Now its a guaranteed purchase. Handles on teh back...now thats playing into a customizers hands. For me the standout pair are Sgt Rock an Blackhawk as well. Sgt. Rock just goes to show you that army builder types are always successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I still only like the STAS & Ed McGuiness Bizarros, but DC has hit another home run with this wave!! I need another Blackhawk, so I can give my Red Skull some nice Nazi garb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I discovered something kinda fun yesterday. With a simple head swap between Blackhawk and Green Lantern, you get a fairly rough base for a Kato (from Green Hornet) custom and an unmasked Hal Jordan.

TM2 Dinobot Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Best. Wave. EVER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highassroller Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Those handle bars freaking rock on S.T.R.I.P.E. I have to say the Star girl and S.T.R.I.P.E. set are the best in this wave. Ton's of new custom molds, and now interactive design? Genius! The more I look at my DC minimate collection, the more I crave cooler looking specific model sculpts and scales. It really adds a diverse look to the collection. Can't wait for that Clay Face minimate (and , yes, they still all look like minimates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcastick Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 wow.....I wish I had money........lol these are indeed great sets by the looks of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITAN Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 These look great and i can't wait for mine to arrive. Especially the Supergirl set. On another note, If anyone has a spare Sgt Rock head or two after making their Army customs, please pm me, his head would be perfect for a couple of customs i'm planning.

montrossx Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Anybody know why they decided to use a 2" style head on STRIPE? It looks fine...just wondering why they used it with STRIPE but not on any of the other 2.5" Minimates. I don't know much about the character so maybe there's an obvious reason I'm missing.

hyejinx1984 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I don't read any DC books really, so I'm totally out of the loop... is that a midget sitting inside S.T.R.I.P.E.? Caause he's not exactly to scale I'm thinking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I got my Sgt. Rock set today. Does anyone else think the handle on the Thompson is too small? I find it hard for him to hold it in a good posistion. Is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I got my Sgt. Rock set today. Does anyone else think the handle on the Thompson is too small? I find it hard for him to hold it in a good posistion. Is it just me? Not just you. I've just had him holding it by the strap like in the picture on the back of the card. I don't read any Horrific books really, so I'm totally out of the loop... is that a midget sitting inside S.T.R.I.P.E.? Caause he's not exactly to scale I'm thinking.. Not a midget. It's Stargirl's step-dad, Pat Dugan. If they had made S.T.R.I.P.E. to scale, he would have been about 5 or 6 inches so that's pretty much the best they could do. Scale wise, anyway.

Gen Ezel Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 After searching for 2 months for a Supergirl minimate... almost lost hope actually... I finally got her yesterday and she is SWEET!!! :biggrin: Kara's minimate version looks WAY better in person than in the pics and she's the most beautiful female minimate ever! OH YEAH!

Mystery Man Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 No, not just you. I found it kind of hard to get him to hold it as well. So... I put superglue in the hand and fit the machine gun in there, let it dry for a second then took it out. When the glue fully dried it was more snug of a fit.
