pawcanada Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Captain Mar-vel, Silver Surfer and Swordsman look great, but the House of M Spidey come with a removeable mask? I know the regular one doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Captain Mar-vel, Silver Surfer and Swordsman look great, but the House of M Spidey come with a removeable mask? I know the regular one doesn't. Nope - no removable mask. The pic on the other page has him with Swordsman's head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawcanada Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) I had hoped it was a different head. The lines on the face made me think of the Iron Spidey face from the Civil War boxset (though I don't have ot at hand). While I like the idea of "improvements" being made on re-releases of the minimates (e.g. the spare hands and feet for the Tony Stark version of War Machine), I'm also a little anti this as I'm a bit of a completionist but more likely to import the LCS version from someone like Luke instead of the TRU version. I know it's a minor thing, but I have a few quirks . Edited December 8, 2009 by Caracal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nothing in VA. Again. I wonder though, because stores have been so busy from the holidays, are they restocking everything heavily, or only on what's selling through? I compressed the 'mates still on the pegs so they look more empty than they were, but nothing has changed so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesapeake/Portsmouth area. This TRU has been really good about getting 'mates in, but so far no sign of these, I haven't checked today though.

cdubya Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Found the Secret Wars box (passed...for now) and Swordsman/Surfer 2-pack. As much as I'd have preferred a classic Swordsman, this lil' guy's growing on me and despite the bizarre fatty-calf details I love the new Surfer. Great set! I had a hard time passing on the others, but I'll just have to wait for my sets to come-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Missed out on Surfer/Swordsman and Marvel/Black Bolt but I found the rest. And so far looking in the packaging (they go up for Christmas) my favorite is Titanium Man. Tht'll probably change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Found a full set at TRU in PA today at lunch. Thankfully, now I don't have to go back to TRU. That place is a madhouse this time of year. :mrt: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelZombie Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Wow, I gotta say those are some great pics, AND those are some nice sculpts. I'm looking forward to this wave now. I'm gonna hit the TRU tomorrow or Friday at lunch and check on their stock (Metro Atlanta). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) So - is anyone else just a *little* bit disappointed that Black Bolt doesn't have a reversible head with a wide open mouth showing? . . . . or is it just me?

Valo487 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Checked today before work, and.....nothing. Although some idiot put all the Superhero Squad toys on their second peg, I promptly moved them back where they're supposed to go. See what I've been reduced to? I'm doing someone's job for them and get no 'mates as a reward!! There should be a support group for people like me. Aside from Idiots with Too Much Time on Their Hands Anonymous. (IWTMTOTHA FTW!!)

Mystery Man Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Maybe you could substitute a Havok head underneath after taking the white mask thing offa the head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blargatron Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I used the T-1000 head, the "O-face" from the first series, for Blackbolt's face. Looks pretty nifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Maybe you could substitute a Havok head underneath after taking the white mask thing offa the head? Yeah - but that means i have to rip his head dress thing off. . . he doesn't have a slip-on mask I used the T-1000 head, the "O-face" from the first series, for Blackbolt's face. Looks pretty nifty. Damn . . . gonna have to buy me a T1000 now. Thanx for the tip bro! Ultimate Cyclops might also be a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MST3KFan Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey Minnesotans, as of 10am today, the Northtown TRU still surprisingly has one Silver Surfer/Swordsman set as well as two of almost everyone else. Surprised really to still see them after having bought one of each of them on Monday. No Secret Wars pack yet though... Still love how our TRU skipped over the Angel/Warpath wave. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John D Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I just came back from the TRU in Times Square, NYC and and they still have series 5. I realized that they only have series 5. All older mates are gone! Thanks for the tip Eddie H! jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
