MST3KFan Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 So I went to this comic book shop that's 25 minutes away from where I live again after having expressed an interest to order some DC minimates the previous week I went there and they said they'd be getting some more in the next week... I ordered like four sets, but came out with a bit more. They got in a ton of Series 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, so I had quite a lot to pick from. I ended up bringing home... Batgirl/Bane Guy Gardner/Kilowag Supergirl/Bizarro Power Girl/Dr Fate Blue Beetle/Booster Gold Hawkman/Hawkgirl Joker/Harley Quinn This other list below is of ones I have coming through the mail. Otherwise, I could have gotten most of them there too. Superman/Lex Luthor Batman/OMAC Wonder Woman/Ares Aquaman/Ocean Master Green Lantern/Star Sapphire Green Arrow/Deathstroke Man, these things are like plastic crack. LOL I even have all of Wave 7 on pre-order, though that's a ways off now which saves me some money then for now, but I gotta tell ya, these things are addictive. Anyone else do a minimate splurge of their own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 What are these?? Did you confuse your mini-zombies with something else? It should be Werewolf by Night/Luthor and Boris Karloff/Omac. Werewolf by Night/Lex Luthor Boris Karloff/OMAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MST3KFan Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I didn't. Apparently they have it right now so some words you type on the site right now get altered, which is VERY annoying in my mind. I tried to fix it, but when I reposted the words changed again. Frankly, I don't find it humorous that what I'm typing is getting altered for Halloween right now... This reply will probably come out altered as well.

Werewolf by Night/Lex Luthor Boris Karloff/OMAC WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? I'm seeing this stuff all over the place. Plague 7 not w a v e (which I spaced out in case this is a spellcheck prank) and the mods change their names. Halloween fun maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Boris Karloff got on my nerves He was running me amok He ridiculed me calling me a bum Boris Karloff beat the hell out of me and knocked me to the floor I got back up and knocked him to the floor He was being such a jackoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 It's all in good fun... the posts will look normal soon enough, probably tomorrow. This is the insanity of this place and we all love it :biggrin: You should have been here for last April 1st, nothing made any sense... it was great BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 LOL MST3KFan, dude you are so screwed: you've got it bad. Welcome to the Asylum, where there is no cure for the addiction, only more plastic fixes, carefully metered to keep us strung out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder we could be given Lego figures or Kubricks to wean us off of the 'Mates. I'm thinking that those lesser block figs might work like Methadone does for heroin addiction. . .

antacost Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Nice haul. It's been awhile since I had that large of a splurge outside of cases of figures. I've still got most of Wave 3 unopened just biding my time for a slow period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MST3KFan Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Ah, there. fixed my post from the Halloween alterations. I forgot to mention I also got a hole of a Jon Stewart GL minimate from a guy I know whom got 3 of them while he at the con giving them away. I opened all the mates last night and gotta say they're all awesome, though I worry about Hawkman and Hawkgirl's wings. I dunno, but I think maybe they should have been molded on to the figures somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that they will be compatible with Archangel's wing slots so that I don't have to go to too much trouble making a custom Angel from the variant. . .

MST3KFan Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Wow. My C3 Nightwing and Catwoman I ordered arrived at the same time as my ordered Woman Woman/Ares and Green Arrow/Deathsrtoke today. My DC minimate collection is getting big. XD It might surpass my Marvel collection at this rate. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omendreamer Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I wonder we could be given Lego figures or Kubricks to wean us off of the 'Mates. I'm thinking that those lesser block figs might work like Methadone does for heroin addiction. . . Considering the price of LEGO sets (all the figures I want seem to be part of the giantic ones) and the cost of importing Kubricks, I'm not sure that it would be less expensive. Plus, when you place them side by side with actual minimates, they often look a lot cruder. 'Sides I've got it under control.... Wow. My C3 Nightwing and Catwoman I ordered arrived at the same time as my ordered Woman Woman/Ares and Green Arrow/Deathsrtoke today. I operate out of a college mailroom, and have become infamous since the day that I received 4 packages in one day containing a total of 14 minimates! (I try to open them there so I don't fill up my trashcan with all the wrapping). I opened them over the next two days, since at the rate I'm going I won't be able to afford many more.

Rad Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Wow. My C3 Nightwing and Catwoman I ordered arrived at the same time as my ordered Woman Woman/Ares and Green Arrow/Deathsrtoke today. My DC minimate collection is getting big. XD It might surpass my Marvel collection at this rate. LOL If you've not opened GA/Deathstroke yet then go easy. GA was notorious for having bad knee joints that sheared off the first time you bend them. To be on the safe side either spray with wd40 (or similar) and gently manipulate the joints. Try to pull them slightly away from each other as well. Once you've got them freed up rinse them in warm(ish) water to get rid of the oil. Another way to do it is soak the parts in warm soapy water and manipulate them very gently (that sounds so much pervier than it should) but that takes longer. Hopefully you're one of the lucky ones and don't need to worry about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 He was? Weren't his legs actually cast out of green and unpainted? He was. It was all over this board. Which is why I was extremely careful once I'd unboxed him. I tried the right knee joint and sure enough it was locked solid. The same thing happened with my classic stealth cylon (cast in black plastic and also unpainted by the way). It's not the same as the paint issues on the Classic Spidey gift pack.

Dan Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I wasn't saying you were wrong Rad, Merely stating that not all are bad. I got lucky and had two good ones. In fact the only breakage I ever had was when my Luke Cage's arm ball joint snapped off. I still haven't found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 No worries Dan, I wasn't losing sleep about it mate. *off topic* Which Luke Cage? New Avengers, or Power-Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 New Avengers. Guess who's becoming my first zombie. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MST3KFan Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 My GA came out okay, so I guess I got lucky. My Deathstroke though...his chest piece kind of sticks away from his chest. Makes me want to superglue it to keep it in place better. Heh. Also, today I just got my big shipment from Sci-Fi Genre containing my Superman/Lex Luthor, Batman/OMAC, Green Lantern/Star Sapphire, Aquaman/Ocean Master DC minimates and my WonderMan/She-Hulk, Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver, and Thor/Loki Marvel minimates. It's been a major minimate week for me. XD All I have left coming is a C3 Robin and that's it for the DC ones until Wave 7 comes out.
