The Vox Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Picked em up last night, So Sorry I won't be able to get pictures until tonight. I ended up buying a case just to make sure and get the Rhodes Variant and I was happy to see the shoulder cannons are in there! (I was seriously worried at first because they are underneath the minimate in the packaging so I couldn't see them at first. Overall VERY nice quality and paint on everything. Love seeing Cloak & Dagger! I always enjoyed their Spiderman Team Ups as a kid. On a sad note, darn LCS sold the Tarantula Variant.. I was so ticked. Oh well.. ebay here I come. -Vox I did bring them to work with me since I didn't get a chance to really do much last night.. and my blackberry has a camera.. but it would probably be best to get a better quality pic later unless someone posts before then. p.s.s. Happy to answer any questions tho, i'll check in here throughout the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) One small disappointment on this wave is the lack of extras. The more I think about it I know that these characters don't really have a bunch of extra stuff they tote around with.. but I think I've been spoiled by how much bonus stuff has been showing up lately. The 2 silver guns are nice.. but maybe another head peice for Spymaster or.. I don't know.. something more... It was very weird opening Cloak and Dagger and seeing nothing else in the package.. I can't remember the last time I opened a minimate pack quite like that. I know, I know, what else would you put in there? Just random thoughts.. Still excited for the new mates (obviously). -Vox Edited January 8, 2009 by The Vox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Vox dont feel you have to bust-a-nut getting pix, I posted some last Friday and a couple of others have filled in some requests since then. T.

Mystery Man Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 So both the regular and the variant War Machine's come with all the guns, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) So both the regular and the variant War Machine's come with all the guns, right? Yes, they both have the exact same guns (shoulder canons). The head peice and some minor armor changes are the only differences between the two. -Vox Edited January 8, 2009 by The Vox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the burn and scrape effects. They COULD of added more because the 2 look similar still. But it is still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I got my wave 23 today from AFX (a day early!) and I cant believe how happy I am with them. Both WM's are fantastic and so is Nova. Spymaster is what he is nothing too fancy. I really wasn't very excited to be getting Gamora, but shes as good as the rest. My only complaint is with Cloak & Dagger. I hoped that Dagger would have had some light daggers. I think Cloaks cloak should have been wider too. Otherwise, awesome wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned before, it was a little weird opening the box to see just two minimates and not a single extra piece of anything.. Maybe a 2nd cloak would've been nice. One for standing and one for encompasing things/people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for standing and one for encompasing things/people. EXACTLY! That should've been the variant, a long cape cloak. Instead of another war machine. Dont get me wrong, i love war machine and all, but the 2 couvle easily been put in one with a simple armor and head swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so simple, as well as differennt heads they have different: shoulder, boots, hands and belts not to mention different tampos for their backs arms and legs. A seperate cloak would have definitely been much easier. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taken aback that there were places they could have cut corners and used the same pieces but didn't. I will say though that to me Cloak and Dagger do seem to have gotten the paupers end of the stick. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hey T, i have another question. Is Gamora a green plastic, or paint?? I need to make a Poison Ivy that looks nice, and i plan on adapting Chaz's design. The only issue is green skin. Please say it's plastic.

That's great; Ivy is the only DC character i wanted from the line before it got cancelled, and my earlier attempt at one sucked. This'll help a lot.

The Vox Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 ah man.. I wish I had the talent to bust a sweet custom. I don't like the painted look so maybe if I get the supplies needed for decals that would be the way to go. I'll have 3 extra Green Women from this wave so I guess I can experiment. Not Captain Kirk type of green woman experiments.. but the custom type. Sick minded mini freaks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbacca37 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 So these still have not hit specialty shops yet right? My LCS guy said he hasn't seen them yet. Although I did see a Spidey-Kraven 2-pack at TRU so I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Called my shop and confirmed they are getting all of wave 23 & 24 next wednesday. I got everything that showed up at TRU, so now its time to play catch up. My shop does a checklist so Im going to try and get some extra variants.

Cappy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I bought these at my LCS here on the West Coast two days ago (Wednesday the 7th). They finally received everything except Hostile Takeover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
