Lobsterman Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sometimes I wish that I could resist the charm of Minimates based on moral principles. I also wish that someone else here would share my appreciation of the Secret Wars cover on the back of the package Don't get me wrong I LOVE that minimateized cover!, so much so that I might see if I can talk someone into letting me have/post a higher res version. T. Do it! DST seriously needs to make postcards or something of all of their movie posters/comic covers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 That package is very nice. Love the poster on the back and the 70 years anniversary logo. I don't love the set figure wise but I still hope these sell well so that TRU will consider future box sets. If I was a kid and saw this set in TRU I'd go nuts!

TM2 Dinobot Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I wonder if they will release that version of Rogue on the comic on the back of the box. I was just thinking that. "Hey! A new Rogue! I wonder if we'll get her" I also wonder if Monica will use the new Storm's cape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) I was just thinking that. "Hey! A new Rogue! I wonder if we'll get her" Maybe DS'll pack her with our missing mohawk Storm. Hmmmm.... nah, they'd never do that. They don't want us to own that particular Storm. Damned politics!

groundhog7s Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 What I don't get is why Monica was Captain Marvel in the series (which I started reading today for the first time ever) but is Pulsar for the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezerspider Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) The Idea of a "Secret Wars" box set sounds incredible, but honestly, I'm not that excited for this. I don't think I'll pass on it, but I certainly can wait for it. Edited September 23, 2009 by weezerspider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I really like the poster on the back of this package and I am excited for this one to come out even though it is still like 2 months out at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 that back cover looks great cant wait to display it with my secret wars 1-12 and the minimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) That Spider-Man is really starting to grow on me... I didn't vote for him but that was the most significant thing to happen in Secret Wars. He deserves to be there. I'm looking forward to that Spidey. <ducks to avoid thrown garbage> Edited September 24, 2009 by Rheul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I think the Spidey looks cool, and will be cool to own. . .I would just prefer nearly every other figure in that poll over him, since we already have about 80 Spideys.

Mirymate Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Well, smurf it. I love the little cover/poster. Happy with three out of the four characters that made the final cut. And the Spidey is growing on me. But "Photon"? Really? I know Marvel owns the rights to Captain Marvel free and clear, they delight in forcing the big red cheese to go by Shazam every chance they get. And I know the "real" Captain Marvel is coming out later this year. But come on, can't Monica have the dignity of her original name in her first actual toy appearance? Why is that too much to ask? >SIGH< Oh well. Don't want to be one of those "fans who can't be made happy". I am getting both my first and second choices for this set, choice #3 is coming in a two pack. And it really was the only shot the Beyonder was going to get. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlecat Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Bigger version of the poster up on the AA blog: http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2009/09/secr...nimates-poster/ Plus what sounds like a confirmation of Mohawk Storm in the pipeline!

luke314pi Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Maybe she will be packed with that Rogue. I love the large version of this poster!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 We ask for a bigger version of the Secret Wars poster - Diamond gives it to us. We complain about the lack of Mohawk Storm - Diamond announces she's on schedule to be released. I feel so empowered right now - like we should ask for a Squirrel Girl Minimate and see what happens.

I've been saying for a while now that DST believes in the policy of appeasement. If we whine and bitch enough, it seems like we can get whatever we want!

Viper Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm really impressed with everything so far! Diamond seem to be the best company for listening to their customers, they seem to keep giving us what we want. I look forward to owning these, I love the artwork and hope to see more of it with future releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioad Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I admit that I haven't been following this thread too closely. When did they annouce the Mohawk storm? I looked back but didn't see any recent reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 They alluded to it in the AA blog with the poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
