Mini Myte, what kind of QC blunders?

All the quality control problems with the Spider-Man friends and foes boxed set.

  • Spidey mask lines that appear on his skin
  • BC's non matching fleesh tones
  • Doc Ock's tentAcles (thanks for the spell check BHM ;) ) not fitting in properly
  • Vulture's yellowish wings.
All of this has been talked about in the related thread. Check it out. Edited by MINI_MYTE

Great flipping news :) descriptions is all I will post and these have just been added so there are no orders made yet. It is not a guarantee that they will come either. Only that these have been added to their system. Here we go:

GHOSTBUSTERS MINIMATES

HALO MINIMATES SRS1 ASST

HALO MINIMATES SRS1 WARTHOG VEHICLE

MV-MARVEL MINIMATES SRS 8 ASST

MV-MARVEL MINIMATES SRS 9 ASST

MV-MINIMATES CAPTAIN AMERICA FAN POLL 4 (as in 4-pack)

MV-MINIMATES THE HEROIC AGE BOX SET

Good news or good news? Don't think that just because I stopped collecting does not mean ol uncle pickle won't stop by with something nice to say every now and then.

Maybe The Heroic Age will have the Steve Rogers Super Soldier costume in it.

my guess is the line up will be

------------------------------------

ironman(bleeding edge(is that what its called?)

reborncap(unless they put him in the other set)

and 2 people from the avengers academy or something

Hmmmm... well that explains the absence of Cap's new "Super-Soldier" look in the "Through the Ages" box set.

I agree that Cap and Iron Man are shoe-ins for this set. Other possibilities....

- Secret Avengers Beast

- New Avengers/Thunderbolts Luke Cage

- Hank Pym as Wasp

- Tigra

- Justice

- Modern Hawkeye (new series)

- Modern Mockingbird (new series)

- Gorilla-Man (oddly present in print ads)

I pray there's no Spidey or Wolverine in this set since at least with Cap and Iron Man these are all-new looks. If I had to choose, I'd go with Tigra and Luke Cage to round this set out. Beast has seen a lot of new 'Mates in the last year as has Hank Pym. The last attempt at Luke Cage was pretty sad and this would be a great time to slip Tigra into the mix. Plus, she and Cage would not be likely to require extensive new sculpted pieces to make a convincing 'Mate.

Great news. Hopefully TRU Canada will get up to speed with it's american counterpart. Hear that Turtle and Lobsterman? You 2 may be free from me soon enough. Not yet, but soon. ;)

I'd be fine with this as a Heroic Age set, with the new Steve Rogers instead of Bucky-Cap and a redone Astonishing X-Men Wolverine. Not sure what they can do to make Thor more different from his wave 33 version though.

I'd also like a Young Allies box set eventually. Or whatever gets me a Rikki Barnes and Araña.

Just a little tip for the Canadians. When TRU has flyers that read 25% (or the like) off all marvel action figures, this is not secluded to just hasbro toys. It will include the marvel minimates as well. So far anyway, if it changes, I will let you all know.
