Nekoi Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The packaging looks quite fitting, really. I like it. I can't wait to get that Deadpool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksun1520 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 That Agent Zero will be used for a Bruce Lee custom once I pick it up. BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Silver... Fox... HALLELUJAH! The black window boxes look SHARP! Ironically, I see perhaps a bright future for this wave. ... great, now that's TWO future TRU exclusives I'd have to either admire or procure from afar.

groundhog7s Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I am now officially excited about this wave. I liked it before, but now I'm looking forward to it. The packaging makes this look so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 i was always excited about this wave but now i can't wait for it to come out! I love movie minimtes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 For some reason, Agent Zero is no longer showing up for me. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Silver... Fox... HALLELUJAH! I hate to be negative, but I am a bit surprised at the level of excitement here for these figures, particularly these exclusives. A bland-looking Asian guy in a suit and a bland-looking woman in a gray dress, both coming with fairly generic-looking civilian Logan variants (though the "angry" face on the one that comes with Fox is better than the other faces he gets, in my opinion)? I surely hope that others feel the way you guys do and snap these up, but unless the movie absolutely floors me somehow, I think that I will pass on the whole wave. And TRU is getting TWO of these packs as exclusives?! Those are spots that could have been used for much cooler Minimates Edited February 23, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndieMate Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The only pack I'm interested in is the Blob. I don't know, this wave looks kind of bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm also pretty surprised they have no Gambit. Was there just not enough room to fit him in or is there a chance he'll show up as some other exclusive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there just not enough room to fit him in or is there a chance he'll show up as some other exclusive? No room? In addition to 7 figures in the regular series, we are getting 4 exclusive TRU figures (11 figures total), and about half of them are Logan variants. If Gambit wasn't one of these, I wouldn't bet on getting him at all. . .but then again, we did get the "Hostile Takeover" set with Iron Man. An AFX set with 2 more civilian Wolvies, Emma Frost and Gambit or something might be a remote possibility. But again, I doubt it very seriously.

groundhog7s Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 So how many Wolverines does that make for release this year? 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 So how many Wolverines does that make for release this year? 12? 3 with 2 packs, 2 with TRU exclusives, 4 from box set, 1 from Secret Invasion, 1 from the wave with Psylocke, etc., 1 from the "Marvel Heroes" box set. I count 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekoi Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm surprised Gambit wasn't in this wave, but I'm just assuming that it's because they wanted to go for more a Weapon X feel. Then again, that doesn't explain Blob. Either way, I can live without a Gambit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 So how many Wolverines does that make for release this year? 12? as opposed to the what 19 iron man/tony starks from last year? lol not tryin to start a fight just sayin...

karamazov80 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) I think DST realized that poor Wolvie used to be the most prominent of all Minimate characters, but that this had no longer been the case for a while. So, maybe now they are just making up for lost time. Off-hand, I can't think of any Wolvie being released between the X3 wave and Secret Invasion.

Punisher Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 But the kid is from the scene in the trailer. That's from the comic "Origin" released a few years ago. His early "origins" in the movie are based off of that. I really recommend that comic, it's one of the very few TPB's that i own (I like to have awesome stories like Watchmen, Origin, Red Son, etc... in TPB form) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
