MinnesotaIceman Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Went to the TRU in St. Peters, MO yesterday afternoon and picked up Surfer/Swordsman, Logan/Hawkeye, and a Secret Wars set. They still had one each of Surfer and Logan, one Molecule Man/Spider-Woman, three each of Iron Man/Titanium Man and Black Bolt/Captain Marvel and two pegs full of Secret Wars. Do these 'mates come with mini bios on the back of the package? If so, could someone please post Swordsman's? Yes they do: The son of famed HYDRA terrorist Wolfgang von Strucker, Andreas and his twin sister Andrea share flight and energy powers - but only when physically touching. After her death, Swordsman creatively altered his sword to continue using those abilities. Thanks, House of Ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I was worried that Surfer's peg on the bottom of his board might make things unstable if you didn't want to use the flight base, but it actually isn't too bad. Still needs some balancing, though. And I was hoping Swordsman would have two swords, cuz you know, his name is SWORDS-man. I can't say I'm very familiar with that character but I do remember seeing him carrying two swords in one of the Thunderbolt's variant covers. Oh well. Loved his raised eyebrow expression! And DST needs to start rolling out more flight bases in more two packs so we can use them on all the old fliers we have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Yes they do: The son of famed HYDRA terrorist Wolfgang von Strucker, Andreas and his twin sister Andrea share flight and energy powers - but only when physically touching. After her death, Swordsman creatively altered his sword to continue using those abilities. By "creatively altered" they mean he had a section of her skin flayed, tanned, and used to wrap the handle of his sword. And they nicely omitted their whole incestuous relationship part. Guess the whole "boy's got no raisin' " things goes without saying here. Edited December 5, 2009 by Mirymate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I wonder if the sword handle looks flayed? hee hee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDurg Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I wonder if the sword handle looks flayed? hee hee Ha! That' both hilarious and disgusting. I just made a huge mistake when I called my TRU since I'm going to have to be a hermit for the next two weeks, the lady who answered didn't know what minimates were, and she thought I meant superhero squad figures, so I had to hang up after about 5 minutes. I tried calling back hoping to get someone new and some guy picked up and then he had me on hold for about 7 minutes after I asked, then somebody must of hung up the phone. Serious bullshit, man.

Try using the 6 digit item number when you call: 113214 I always use that since the computer can't claim ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Still Nada in Utah and I called a couple of other stores in Salt Lake area and nothing up there too. Nothing on Secret Wars too. Man Utah TRU are so slow getting stuff! The quickest they ever got things after first sightings posted here was the Second wave of Wolverine Origins and they came a week later but most of the time it is 4-5 weeks later that they show up here. So I wonder why I bother checking so often. Just paranoid that I will miss stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightViper Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Nice to see that these are apparently becoming a little easier to find! I managed to grab both sets today (although the Logan/Hawkeye and extra Silver Surfer/Swordsman are for someone else). I am loving Swordsman...even though I don't off-hand know much about the character. The Surfer's board and base make him a welcome addition as well; I'll just pretend I don't have those other three Surfers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Just for fun, I went to an out-of-the-way TRU tonight and found all of wave 5. No Secret Wars, though. They had 3 Spider-Man/Scorpion sets, 2 Logan/Hawkeye sets, and 1 each of the other three. I didn't notice until just now that the blue on Captain Marvel's face kind of bleeds through the flesh bits. Is that pretty common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'm super glad these are out but I'm really worrying I'll never find an Angel from wave 4 now. Somebody tell me I'm wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
