gambitron Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I got my set today and I love these two except for the fact that my US Agent's shield was quite warped. I was just so happy to get some new mates in the mail. These are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rx78jj Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Wow, I didn't know that this set had so many little details that were different than the actual Cap. Kool. Can't wait for mine to come in the mail. I actually bought two, now I just need to buy one more of the Black Panther and Iron MAn sets.

Punisher Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I got my set in the mail, and I love all the accessories, despite the warped shields. I am very happy to be adding another villain to my shelf. I took USAgents sheild, put it uder the hair dyer for about 10 seconds, and then immeadetely ran it under cold water, and formed it the way it should have been, it worked really well.

elhonez Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Taskmaster rivals Deathstroke in accesories / coolness factor. This is a great exclusive, I couldn't be happier. Total home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Taskmaster rivals Deathstroke in accesories / coolness factor. This is a great exclusive, I couldn't be happier. Total home run. Dude i totally agree, i just got my set now and its truly an awesome set. Taskmaster is easily one of the best minimates yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Really great set here. I'm torn between how awesome Taskmaster is with all his weapons and how difficult it is to pose him with them all on his person. I ended up gluing the arrow onto the quiver and the sword sheath onto his cape on my opened set. Makes him more sturdier. It's also nice to have USAgent. More NEW characters mean I spend more money, which in this case is a good thing. It's a shame they haven't made Bucky, Falcon, Red Skull, Winter Soldier and so forth.

hyejinx1984 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 So could anyone explain to me how Taskmasters Bow and Arrow work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 So could anyone explain to me how Taskmasters Bow and Arrow work? Personally, I put his bow in his right hand, and then I very carefully place the arrow in my large zip-lock bag storing excess Minimate accessories.

MiniFiend UK Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Got mine today and i really like them but there are a few minus point factors for me both have been commented on already so just really agreeing As noted on both the plastic used on both characters shields is terrible its just wrong feels more rubber then plastic making the shields wonky and misshaped not to hard to disguise on the taskmaster as the shield is more of a bowl shape because of the mold used is same as Sue Storm forcefield. The USAgent on is worse to my eyes when looking at the figure so the thin edge of the shield is shown to you it just looks like its been left in high heat all deformed. I also dont like the new way they attach I much prefer the loop higher on the arm with the glove slit used to anchor the peg. I will most likely take my dremell to the attachments so they can slip higher up. Dont get me wrong I like both figures and would have scored both at least a 9 and prob a 10 on Taskmaster for all the accessories but the cheap plastic on the shields knocks points off and the new wrist straps niggle at me so it looks more like a 7 1/2 to a 8 1/2 for USAgent and 8 1/2 to 9 for Taskmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblockoguy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I just noticed on the package photo that US Agent's mask appears to have black creases on it. Were these just for the prototype pics or does the mask actually have these because I can't make any out on mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King MiniMate Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Good thing I ordered mine from stuckakid before they ran out. You could try scifigenre.com or try asking afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 bigbadtoystore.com still has four in stock. Run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Scifigenre still has some in stock, and in my experience, their shipping is more reasonable than BBTS (plus, it is already marked down to 6 bucks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT! Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I literally just got these and I'm torn... the design is really nice all the extra's and the printing under the mask etc BUT the quality of the plastic sucks, the shields are all bent out of shape and the accessories seem to be made out of the same material as gummy bears.
