rx78jj Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I've heard that the Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie is coming out August 8. And My girlfreind works at Toys R Us and she told me that they already got them in. The surprise to me was that she told me that they came with minimates. There are two to buy. One is Captain America and the other is Iron Man. They each come seperatly. So you can chose to buy either or. Now I'm sorry if this is old news or if I'm posting this in the wrong area. But I'm exited. Now I dont know if there just reissues of the older figures or that they are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Its new news Cheers for posting, I guess that confirms the SDCC rumour I'd heard. Superbness, more Minimates at mass market is a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andimus Prime Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Excellent, I hope they do their job in mass market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Wow so soon! Yep Adam said this was happening... look for re-released minimates turning up allover the place, things like packaed with Marvel Kids T-shirts etc... they are really trying to push the brand in as many places as possible!

drgnrbrn316 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 This is good news. I'm sure if they are variations it'll probably be in Darktide form, but at least it shows some effort on the production end to get something on the shelves.

luke314pi Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Here's hoping for variations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 A good question may be which Captain America.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 A good question may be which Captain America.... I sure hope it's an Ultimate Captain America. That would just be a repaint so it might be a possibility. And a Ultimate Iron-Man perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Alright! This is great news! Let the Minimate onslaght begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Crap! If they're repaints, I'll have to buy that damn movie... I had no wish to do so after the horrible first movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx78jj Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well after reading the Ultimates comic books and after seeing the movie i was a little disappointed. But then the movie was aimed more towards the general public. If you see it that way it makes sense. But i will buy the second movie. I kinda liked the first one two, the only gripe i had with it though was that the animation was a little below par in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Compared to JLU and even the 90's Marvel animated shows it was horrible. However my better half watched it and loved it, so I guess it served its purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my only complaint as well. Hopefully it will be improved in the sequel, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I never watched it cos it never came out on Region 2. Anyway, I have to say this is great news, and some actual SMART MARKETING for once. Great job whoever thought of this kind of cross promotion, it's exactly what's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 So can anybody confirm what versions of Cap and Shellhead will be released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx78jj Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well I talked to my girlfreind and she said that they looked the same. She did'nt notice any differences. I trust her cus she's into minimates too. But I'm kinda hoping that they are a little different like the ones that came out in the Darktide movie. At least with a different face. But so far they look like reissues. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalSonic Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 This sounds realy cool I'm accutaly excited about the movie. Sure the 1st movies' animation was alittle bad, but I've seen far worse. It is still fun to watch. I hope the mates are a little different. Maybe battle damaged ironman or unmasked cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyroma Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Are these out right now or on August 8th? Oh yes I want different versions of Cap and Iron Man. :deathstroke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITAN Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 good news for all our US collectors, but as the first one didn't come out here in the UK, i doubt we'll see this one either. Boo Hiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xybot Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Ultimate Cap would be so easy to do ... and it is also VERY desirable. I have a feeling it is just going to be a straight reissue, but there is still a shred of hope that it's a simple repaint. * crosses fingers until we see pics * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it is just going to be a straight reissue, but there is still a shred of hope that it's a simple repaint. * crosses fingers until we see pics * Totally agree. Would it be so tough to do something other than Cap & BD Cap? If you're going to reuse the mold and feel that it's a character that'll sell and sell and sell, why not do variations on the costume, such as Ultimate Cap or US Agent? Heck, I'd even buy an Invaders Cap with his original shield. Now, I wouldn't go too far with this - there are only so many Cap variants possible. As an example, a Heroes Reborn Liefield Cap with man-boobs would be one Cap too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 The new Wave 12 Cap is IMO a hope skip away from being Ultimate, just slight paint apps. Not to mention I'd definately order Ultimate Avengers 2 if he was a early sneak peak of Wave 12... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 That's the freakiest Cap I ever did see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 That's the freakiest Cap I ever did see! Which one? The man-boobs Cap? Yeah, Liefield has a unique grasp of perspective when it comes to his art. He's a modern Escher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Wow that pic of Cap is scary..... His chest is bigger than his shield..!! As for what we're getting with the avengers set... my (semi-informed) guess is either face repaints or more likely a total reuse of the existing figures. It obvious that this one isn't aimed at making us happy but to get new folks on board the minimate bandwagon. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
