Shanester Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 The box has some great images of the minis inside. Much better than my photos! Lets start with...NITRO! Nitro is new to the Minimate world and is a nicely detailed figure. He comes with a flame attachment for his hand. Captain America an outlaw? Sad, but true... Great detail to Cap's torn mask and tattered uniform. Its odd to see cuffs on Cap. Captain America comes with a hair piece if you want to take his mask off. The hair piece is a little odd as it has a blonde "flap" below the hair line. I prefer the tattered mask. Cap's bloody shield is a nice little detail for this well crafted figure. Next we have the Iron Spider-Man. Iron Spidey comes with both a slip-on mask and a hair piece. Iron Spidey's gold paint around the eyes, feet and hands, is hard to photograph. Its very light and translucent. It could be darker, but has a nice detail when you look closely at it. The tentacle attachments to Iron Spidey's suit are painted on in back... Last, but not least... IRON MAN! There are lots of parts to this version of Iron Man. Tony comes with a new hair piece, regular hands, regular feet, and an all new set of armor. The mask is the version already released, but painted with a more "modern" Iron Man detail. The new armored pieces are great, but the feet/legs are tall and make Iron Man a bit tall. Its odd to have him taller than Hulk... This is a fantastic set, especially for the Civil War fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I think my favorites are Iron Man, then Cap, then Spidey, then Nitro. Thanks for the pics Shane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) Iron Man's mask looks a little strange to me, in a way that I didn't notice from the pics on the box. The eyebrow-type things, eyes, and mouth make him look a little sad, but he has that line coming out from the mouth that sort of looks like a smile. . .actually, he looks a bit like Bicentennial Man: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm292985856/tt0182789 I think that Iron Man sans mask looks bad ass, though. I also dig that Cap has a utility belt, so I can buy an extra to put on regular series 12 Cap. Edited April 6, 2008 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm not a 100% sure (cause there was no front shot) but Cap's hairpiece looks to be Biff Tannen's from the first BTTF set. Am I right Shanester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just curious. Is Iron Man taller than Smart Hulk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITAN Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm not a 100% sure (cause there was no front shot) but Cap's hairpiece looks to be Biff Tannen's from the first BTTF set. Am I right Shanester?

dj87 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 so a couple of people have expressed an interest in getting their hands on a couple of these packs, for amongst other reasons, upgrading cap with new boots and belt. I too think this is a good idea, and would love to, i've been bothered by his lack of height. will, however, this be pheasible? do we reckon they'll be enough to go around? it's no trouble to get hold of a defenders set for dirt cheap on ebay (i myself have one, still in the box it came in... which i bought by accident, believe it or not!), but with only 2000 of these, will it be the same story? i'm just worried about not getting one set at the moment, being in UK an' all, let alone another cap. btw... my cap has a spare US agent belt at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks Shane. That helps with the size thing. I wonder if all the upcoming IM mates will be this tall.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
