Captain Minimate Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 lol!!! Oh well. At least I made myself aware of it. I plan to order this soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) New pic of the packaged heroes set on the AA blog here. It also says "be sure to stop back tomorrow for another exclusive Minimates reveal!" I wonder what that will be?

Lobsterman Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hmm... guessing the packaged villians set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 From the AA post: "Despite what you may hear whispered in back alleys and disreputable establishments, it seems you can never have enough Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine or Hulk Minimates!" Does this make the forum a back alley or disreputable establishment? As for the reveal tomorrow, I now have to guess it's a Dark Avengers box set, because they have a new Spider-Man and Wolverine to make...

MiniFiend UK Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I dont mind being disreputable and as for the reveal tomorrow I'd guess for the Villains set box image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I dont mind being disreputable and as for the reveal tomorrow I'd guess for the Villains set box image. I agree, though seeing a Dark Avengers set or confirming a wolvie movie 2-pack exclusive wouldn't hurt. The mates themselves don't look all that bad, though i'm tired of seeing that hair on Steve already. I picture him with the Civil War hairpiece, not Invaders...I'm sorry, but Pete looks so bad. I don't see him worried too much; i want a cocky, mocking, pissing-you-off, humored Pete. Hulk, luckily, looks better than the original Proto; no more gapped teeth for the un-jolly green giant. Logan and the Jim Lee design are AWSOME!! I just pray we get a mask, and that the muscle definition on that torso comes off easily enough to make female Lee-eras. All in all, it looks to be a promising set; it'll definitely attract newcommers, though it might have helped to put the masks on instead of the hairpieces for once...

boyd Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 don't forget iron man boyd I'd actually be excited to get an Iron Patriot Minimate. I'd even put up with a Daken to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Does this make the forum a back alley or disreputable establishment? The incessant bitching and whining pays off yet again! Don't they understand that children will actually appreciate punishment over neglect? This, along with their capitulation on the Deadpool/Gambit/Red Skull front, is only going to reinforce our behavior. But. . . (time to bitch, now!): Just looking at the pictures, I am saddened that Spidey appears to essentially be the one from the recent Spidey wave with a different Parker face. I was hoping that we would get that body with a non-sheath-mask head (that is to say, a head with a Spidey mask painted on), so that we could have a cool new Spidey re-deco without the huge head.

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I didn't think we were a disreputable establishment. That's AFX. I felt we were more the back alley where you can pee on hobos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 As many people suspected, today's reveal is the Villains Set. Red Skull looks like he's yelling "GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Red Skull looks like a mad dog. Why didn't they update that stupid cape/hood of Doc Doom's, I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm wondering if we will see these at TRU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I, too, hope they get released earlier than May. That Red Skull is THE version of him I want, as is the Goblin. I hope Mags comes with a helmet and that the Hulk matches the Avengers version for skin color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Mags comes with a helmet and that the Hulk matches the Avengers version for skin color. If you can see it, it looks like there is an indent in the packaging above Mags, and it looks circular. My guess is it's his helmet; no, actually it's my hope that it's his helmet, which i also hope was updated. Shame about DD's cape though, and that GG apparently won't be the same as that ebay auction one. Red Skull looks INCREDIBLE though, but i still see no sign of Cosmic Cube.

storm 1:08 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I had my comic shop order these when they popped up in the Jan edition of Previews. Then, they show up again in Feb Previews. Same exact page (number, description, text, everything) in the Marvel Previews catalog. I think it was page 77. Anyway, Feb Previews are for June items and this is the second time it was solicited so does it sound like there might be a delay in getting these? Ship date still says May, though: http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2009/01/ship-date-update/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I really think they missed the point of re-releasing a Dr. Doom when the main problem with the original was that one-piece cement sheet of cape/hood. Ah well. And a Cosmic Cube would've been sweet but alas, no news of it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, for all we know, the issue of Previews may have been made in December. Ya never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
