Danny Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Those do look good. Agreed with MINI-MYTE on Egon's hairpiece, much better this time around. And those open traps are sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Anyone else find these yet, and willing to help someone out? These aren't on TRU.com yet, and I don't have a local TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 My TRU had these as well. No new Marvel though, maybe next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimadman Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) That also clarifies that Vigo does have an alternate headpiece. It's actually a slipover mask. It's also worth noting that Nunzio (the fat one) Scolari's head is a slip on over a clear blank head.

boyd Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks for the pics, Paul. Viggo's wearing a lot of spikes. He must not be into hugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springportguy Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Does anyone have the upc codes or tru's pick codes for these or know where I can find them so I can begin calling around to look for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) UPC for the Peter/Vigo pack is 699788728086. They should be able to look up the case with that. Incidentally, these were in the new "collectibles grab bag" aisle at my store. There was a new refresher case out, too. I couldn't tell the case ratio, as someone had gotten there before me, but there were 2 Pete/Vigos, 2 Egon/Titanics, and one each of Ray/Nunzio and Egon/Tony when I got to them. --- Oh, also, on the opposite side of the aisle, there were three pegs, one of which had a lone Iron Man/Titanium Man pack from the last Marvel wave. The other two were empty and had no price tags on them. Hopefully those are set up in anticipation for some new Marvel mates...

MINI_MYTE Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks for the pics paulmkelly. Those are some NICE looking minimates. Can't wait to nab 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I found these at TRU today too. I was suprised consider all the TRU around me seem to be the last ones to get minimates in. I picked up the Vigo pack and the Titanic Ghost pack. They both look great. I tried to access the site from my phone when I was there to see if anyone else was looking for these. Unfortunately my phone was having problems with displaying the site so I was unable to check the forums to pick some of these up for those looking for them When I got there it looked like two of each of the Nunzio and Tony packs and three of the others, although there may have been an even case ratio and someone had perhaps gotten there before me and bought a couple.

minimadman Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I was thinking of doing a video review of these and posting it on YouTube after my kids go to bed. Would anyone be interested in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 The video is done. Click here. GREAT VIDEO minimadman! That was awesome! I think that more reviews should be done via internet video. It just gives you a different, better dimension than plain ol' photos can. Thanks again for doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 To everyone finding these, please PM me if you're willing to help me out. Me and my friends are in need of 3 sets. I have an SDCC Ghostbusters 2-pack that I can trade you towards the price of the Mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the vid, minimadman! I love seeing members' photos of new mates too, but as MINI_MYTE said, videos definitely give you a better sense of what they'll be like in hand... I feel like Egon's hair was a bit higher in the second movie, but that may be all in my head. The little changes to the face definitely make a big difference to the likeness though! If anyone's getting the Vigo set just for him and isn't interested in the Pete, please shoot me a PM. I must own that hairless cat! :tongue: Edited February 26, 2010 by battlecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Dang, minor gripe. The prototypes show Peter wearing the peacoat-like jacket from the Punisher War Zone set. That's been one of my favorite jacket pieces so far, and I was looking forward to being able to get more for customs without having to buy more Punisher sets. Unfortunately, it looks like DST made a running change and switched it for a standard suit jacket; I think it's the one Pres Palmer has in the 24 set. So, boo.
