minijeff Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I just checked my comic shop and they are not getting wave 29 or 30 in today, probably next week then. I have a feeling my shop is going to tell me the same thing which is partially why I havent called...I am going in later anyways to get my Lantern rings for this week so maybe there will be a surprise there when I get there then!

Glantern Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 ok, just got home from getting these. Overall, pretty cool. But there's one thing that bugs me on Electro, Insulation Spidey, Vault Guard, and the Hydra agent: Peg holed heads! Since all of these figures were designed to not have hair pieces, I find this quite annoying. I really think it hurts the figures when displayed without the masks. Guardsman and Electro are excusable because most people will leave the mask on, but I like the face under the mask of the hyda agent more than the one on it, so I wanted to display him sans additional pieces. And it's even sillier on spiderman, since DST put the classic mask underneath so that it could be swapped onto classic spidey, not to mention the fact that unlike the other masks in the wave, Insulated spidey's is the only one to lack a peg, making the peg hole without any purpose. /rant Ok, so it's alot of complaining, but don't let it fool you, I still find these 'mates very cool, just a little peeved by that one issue. Oh, well. Not a huge deal I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glantern Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hey guys, sorry I didn't reply sooner, haven't been home at all since my last post. I'm located in Maryland. Maybe east coast got them early. If people still want pictures, I guess I can take some of the ones I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesium salami Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm really not liking the Black Panther minimate. His cape is just too big. It gets in the way of his hairpiece and his mask, and it's hard to pull his head off with it on there. It also restricts his shoulder movement too much. He does look OK without it, but something about his mask isn't quite right....the eyes are too far apart or not even or something. Also T'Challa has a big crotchpiece. Moon Knight is incredible though! This is how you do a minimate with a cape. It doesn't get in the way, and looks awesome! He has a belt, instead of a giant crotch, and you can store the crescent-arangs he has on the belt (with a little work). This is my favorite of both new waves. The 90s Storm is pretty amazing too. The hairpiece is spot on, and the paint is a metallic pearl color. Daredevil is kind of OK. Nothing really wrong with it, just a bit boring. The billy club pieces are nice though. I also picked up Scorpion, who rocks. The tail is really well done, with a backpack piece like Angel's. It has a ball-and-socked joint in the middle, but only pivots horizontially on mine.

Glantern Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Wave 29 Didn't get X-force Wolvie from this wave I'll try to get the ones I have from 30 up next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Ok, so I didn't get the Spider-Girl/Vault Guard & House of M/Scorpion sets from 30, and aside from the peg hole thing, Electro, Isulated Spider-Man and the Vault Guard appear to be identical to their TRU counterparts show over at the Database, but here's Ultimate Spider-Woman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
