boyd Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I would have liked a fruit basket as the prize, but concept art is good, I guess. Thanks DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinimateEspo25 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 yes, please tbt, come back you are missed, and cool art, yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) These all look amazing! Who else wishes the Wolverines were swapped around, so they could easily build a small army of WW2 soldiers? Edited May 6, 2009 by luke314pi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) OMG! Is it me or are these the most detailed looking minimates tampo-wise? I love the fact that you can swap between classic BP and his modern look. Same regards to the Hydra Agent. BTW, what comic does the beefier, more detailed version HA come from? Good to see you TBT. You've been missed. Thanks for getting us the sweet looking controll art. Edited May 6, 2009 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Hotness. I love Storm's lightning crackle, and Moon Knight's cape looks sweet! For those following the comic, this is his modern incarnation, right? Oh, and Matt, more code-cracking tomorrow?

luke314pi Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I just noticed that Storm has new arm sculpts. I might have to pick up a few of her for customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 A few observations: Storm comes with new arms and a lightning bolt Black Panther looks to be capable of being broken down into a second version Same for the Hydra agent Moon Knight has brass knuckles Wolverine has new claws (again) WWII Wolverine has won over more people by appearance than by name alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 These look awesome. I really like the face on the X-Force Wolverine. I love the army builder/variant model. It is working out very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I really like the concept that they've been using in recent waves: The mates that accompanies the variant has "variable outfits." Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 [*]WWII Wolverine has won over more people by appearance than by name alone In about 90% of cases, the execution of a Minimate will often overcome what seems, at first notice, to be a bad or boring idea. Minimates have amazing powers such as these. Still would have preferred a more interesting variant, but when the set is essentially giving us two "2-in-1" variants anyway, it's hard to complain too much. Really, really loving AA giving us the option with those figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Wow... DST have really outdone themselves on this wave. I daresay it's starting to trump even Wave 28 in overall awesomeness. (Although how faithful the final product will be to the concept art is the next question to worry about...) I wonder what the wave breakdown will be? I'm guessing: Storm/Black Panther Armored Daredevil/Moon Knight X-Force Wolverine/HYDRA Agent variant: WW2 Wolverine ... although I do second Luke in having X-Force Wolvie be the variant, thus effectively giving the regular wave its own de facto army-builder two-pack. PS: Does that mean we'll have to wait 'til SDCC to see Wave 30? Edited May 6, 2009 by NorthRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ... although I do second Luke in having X-Force Wolvie be the variant, thus effectively giving the regular wave its own de facto army-builder two-pack. You gotta figure X-Force outfit would be a bigger seller, though. They are tempering the needs of the hardcore fans with the whims of the casual ones.

Nekoi Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'm mostly excited for that X-Force Wolverine. I love that design! Storm looks absolutely amazing, too. It's about time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 [insert sound of excitement] Oh man, I'm going to have to pick up yet another full wave. I wouldn't complain about the Wolvie either since it's his newest costume. I'm at a loss for words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Is it me or does Wolverine look like he can skate around? Oh please make him roll around DST! That would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Great concept art. Loving the way that figures can be used to get 2 different looks. WW2 Wolvie to me is still the weakest one of the wave for me but the rest are excellent. All these new parts on figures but no mentions that Storm has the biggest rack this side of a Hooters Bar.

stack32 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hotness. I love Storm's lightning crackle, and Moon Knight's cape looks sweet! For those following the comic, this is his modern incarnation, right? Oh, and Matt, more code-cracking tomorrow? That's his current costume. I'm really impressed with the cape and brass knuckles. If it ends up looking as good as the picture it's easily going to be one of my top 5 favorite 'mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks DST for the sneak peek and Timbo for posting! What an amazing wave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotrigger Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Very nice! I want Storm, Black panther, and Moon Knight. Now if only we could get Jim Lee Jean Grey and Cyclops. With Gambit, Psylocke, and now Storm coming out those 2 are the last major core characters we need from the early 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
