Fujis Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Today, I would like to show off a picture of our latest Toys 'R' Us Exclusive Minimates 4-pack featuring the New Avengers. This set includes Captain America, Unmasked Battle Damaged Spider-Man, Spider-Woman and The Sentry. Was it already mentioned that this was a Toys 'R' Us exclusive? Anyway you can check out the thread on the AA forums here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 No it wasn't, but honestly, who else gets four-packs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 That's what they were going to do for TRU, 4 packs. This has to be after the regular waves get released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The new packages look good, I'll admit. But c'mon... I'm not buying minimates for the boxes! I STILL want new figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyroma Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The new packages look good, I'll admit. But c'mon... I'm not buying minimates for the boxes! I STILL want new figures. I agree. R.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 who else takes minimates at mass market? *Cough* Target *Cough*..... From what I'm hearing these 4packs will be VERY close behind the release of 12&13. I.E. within a few weeks... p.s. I know all about cutting costs on packaging but Dont'cha think they'd sell better if they had something covering the clear plastic.... lol T.

Cyc Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yeah, thus I said, who else gets 4-packs. Target seems only interested in two-packs, further re-enforced by their present restocking methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I hope that the Cap head fits with my Flash mask... the one I cut the eyes out of so you can see the eyes through. It'd make a great facial expression for my Barry Allen. I hope that either the mass market released Spider-Woman or the one that comes out in the Series 12 (or is it 13?) has the top of her head painted red so I can have a "full head mask" version of the character, like when she first appeared. I hope they all have C3 feet. Sweet crispy crap, FINALLY a Spider-Man with "good" feet?! I just thought of something. That unmasked, beaten Spider-Man face is PERFECT for either a mugged civilian or man-raped civilian. Hah. This is how I come up with ways to make the sour a little sweeter with no Vision, Thor, Scarlet Witch, Namor, Dr. Strange, Hobgoblin, Mysterio, etc. in sight. -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She-Thing Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 The packs are cool! I'm buying the :colossus: :emmafrostdiamondform: pack & probably the Avengers one I was looking at the new packaging, and I noticed that some the the Minimates have new faces (was Spider-Woman grimacing like that before?). Then I looked at the last Avengers group shot, and noticed that Spider-Woman had a new face. And new hair. And looked completely different, but really familiar. In fact, I think it's the custom I made a few years ago. The Packaging Mock-up: My Spider-Woman custom: Stinkin' thieves! Sheesh, that's scary. They should at least comment SOMETHING about your customs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webhead Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm disappointed to see they couldn't paint the Sentry's blue cumberbund thing around his torso...instead just painting the blue and S on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch77 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 MARVEL MINIMATES I probably didn't hint at it in case I didn't get the pictures in time for last weekend but there's another Toys 'R' Us Minimates set coming out. This set features The Astonishing X-men with Unmasked Wolverine, Cyclops, Colossus and White Queen. Here's a prototype picture: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 WHOO HOO!! More Cap, Spidey, Wolverine and Cyclops 'mates! I can't wait!! I just wish someone at AA/DST would wake up to the fact that these characters have been done to death. Where's Thor? Namor? Bucky? US Agent? Dman? Captain Britan? Hobgoblin? Abomination?

Patience, my friend. Though I agree that we need new characters, the fact that these things should be popping up in stores soon tells me that something's coming down the pipeline, hopefully waves 12 and 13. I can't really fault them for trying to spread the minimates in mass market. Its somewhat refreshing just to see anything popping up, even if its stuff we've known about for several months.

Amazing.JL Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 These are going to be really really close to the specialty release imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 These are going to be really really close to the specialty release imo. possibly even before... see Adams post at AA.... all valid points from the group and appreciated. we should be able to put some sort of release schedule together, it's the least we could do. but let me say that having to move all those tools from the play along factories, to the new one's (who were ok with running lower quantites) setting up new tampo machines, and just getting a new factory up to speed with the product line was a seriously brutal transition...brutal! and hey, have the 'astonishing xmen' and 'new avengers' 4pks hit TRU yet? they should be in stores pretty quickly now. they shipped close to the speed stuff so keep an eye out for those and keep us posted of course when you see them. Seems that we might be seeing mass market before Specialty on these! T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Patience, my friend. Patience?! Patience?! You're kidding. How much more patience is needed before this is ridiculously overdue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Patience, my friend. Patience?! Patience?! You're kidding. How much more patience is needed before this is ridiculously overdue? I said that specifically for this type of response. According to what's been said above though, we should see some new stuff in the coming weeks.

ZArox Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 My Tru doesnt even have the speed racer or street fighter 4pack, so when these comes out would It be like a couple weeks before these comes out or do i have to go to my good friend ebay.

Cyc Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 All things considered, getting the 4-packs out makes more sense, as the direct market two packs have a chase to entice us to buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'm all for these to get released mass, I wanted them out months ago!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
