Punisher Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Was just about to post this. For me, it's between Disco Beyonder or Mohawk Storm. Dang I can't choose! EDIT: I voted for Doom. That costume is just too classic to pass up. Edited April 17, 2009 by the punisher=D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Yeah! They're finally letting fans pick something. Too bad it's out-dated characters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 How freaking cool is this?? All of the designs look great! Time to put my thinking cap on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloMate Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Very cool. Hmmm.... my Fantastic Four minimates are getting kinda bored just fighting Doom. so the Molecule Man got my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Cant we just vote the lot I would be happy with any of them. There is enough for two boxsets and 2 pack. Wow the mates just keep coming don't they! My vote was the Non Energy Captain Marvel as I would rather have a new figure then another Spidey/Doom/Thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 We should probably all pool our resources and essentially force the box set we'd all be most happy with. I'd say off the bat we can rule out the Spider people. After all, we've essentially gotten that Spider-Woman before, and if we don't get that Spider-man now, you can almost guarantee that he'll show up somewhere eventually.

NorthRaider Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well, I'm definitely picking a Beyonder for my dream set. Then he'd be the first official minimate Inhuman. ... or maybe not... Damn, why did it have to be just one?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzerd Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) I voted for Molecule Man, who is currently tied for second place with 4 votes with the regular Beyonder and that Spider-Man (seriously?). Regular Captain Marvel and Mohawk Storm are tied for first with 8 votes a piece. Edited April 17, 2009 by blizzerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xybot Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 If you're trying to pick the ones that encompass the Secret Wars series ... you have to go with: Molecule Man Beyonder Doom Ben Grimm Also, this could be our only chance to get these figures ... whereas we could get Captain Marvel in an Avengers set and the split-Spidey almost anywhere else. I'm campaining for Molecule Man. He was such a huge part of Secret Wars and will probably be overlooked. VOTE MOLECULE MAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I couldn't resist picking Dr. Doom, mostly becasue I loved the Mattel toy back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'd say that this set would likely be the only chance to get your hands on Ben Grimm, since I just don't see him popping up into a future assortment. Beyonder is pretty much tied strongly into Secret War as well, which makes him a necessity. And Molecule Man probably never had much of an impact on the Marvel Universe outside of this storyline. As for Spider-Man's current ranking, I wouldn't be surprised if DSTChuck were running around to all the computers in the DST offices and casting votes for the webhead.

MINI_MYTE Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Holy Crap In A Hat! It's too good to be true! Half of these guys were in my fantasy 4-pack picks for AFX next boxed set. Glad to see it'll come true to some degree. Hard choice for just one vote. Molecule Man, Beyonder, mohawk Storm... it's to hard to choose one, but I'll have to go with Captain Marvel II (non-energy). I hope the other three I mentionned make the cut. I don't know why we need an updated version of Julia Carpenter's Spider-Woman? Titania would have been another ideal choice for this poll. Do you hear me DST?! TITANIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 This is the third time I've typed this in the last five minutes: WHERE THE !@#$ IS KANG!?!?!?!?! Not overly thilled with the options. I'd say there are three that I want: Molecule Man, Storm, and Captain Marvel. Spider-Woman is beautiful, but I already have one (and paid a lot for her). The Spidey is very cool but... no thanks. Ben Grimm? Meh. Beyonder? Meh. Doom? We just got a new Doom. So for me it's basically down to Molecule Man and Storm. I just can't stand Storm, but her punk look is pretty cool. But we never get enough villains, so... Molecule Man it is. Man, there are just so many cool characters that people really want in that series that they could make. Kang... the Wrecker... the Lizard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Another thing this will tell us is a rough idea of how many minimate fans there could be out in the world just by seeing how high the vote goes.

NorthRaider Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Maybe this will help me make a better decision... The ones that are most capturing my attention are both Beyonders, both Captain Marvels, skinjob Ben Grimm and mohawk Storm. Julia Carpenter looks pretty in the concept art, but choosing her would probably reopen that whole wave 2/wave 24 Black Spidey can of worms... Wow, I can't believe I'm actually doing this, but I WANT that Monica Rambeau minimate. I voted Captain Marvel. I wish DST would somehow shoehorn the other non-boxset characters (except maybe Symbiote Bond Spider-Man ) in a regular wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 This is the third time I've typed this in the last five minutes: WHERE THE !@#$ IS KANG!?!?!?!?! We've been spreading Kang love for about a month now over at MMHQ. He even ranked higher than Mac Gargan Spidey and Sentry in our Dark Avengers poll. I'm sure he'll make the transition to Minimate form sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll make the transition to Minimate form sooner rather than later. Yeah, I'm actually glad Kang is NOT in this poll. This gives us a chance to get more obscure characters. We will get a Kang in a normal wave eventually, but a Molecule Man? Not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but TRU has been getting a bit better about stocking this stuff. The latest Wolverine crap is on their website now, and my local TRU is starting to stock them again, something they haven't done since probably the TRU 10-pack. Of course, it still sucks for all you poor international folk who either don't have Toys R Us stores on hand or Minimate availability in general. Maybe I should take another look at kick starting the Minimates Initiative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The latest TRU stuff has come on their website & ....gone. If it were there...... they won't take a non-US shipping address or account log in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I’m torn, if I want this set to sell to the masses, I think Spidey and at least one other recognizable character needs to be in this set. Plus the big baddie. Spidey/Storm/Ben Grimm/Beyonder A set full of unknowns (to the masses) is risky and if it doesn’t sell, will it be a strike against future waves in TRU? But, will we ever get another chance like this? I don’t know… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SErge Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 wow, another set, how many more can they throw at us, anyway mohawk storm ftw!!!, this is an awesome idea, I'll buy no matter who wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well, shit. I want every single one of them! I voted "Molecule Man" because I doubt we'll ever get another chance to see him, unlike the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
