battlecat Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Preorder's up at BBTS. They've put robe-less Mandarin in the photo instead of Crimson Dynamo. Also apparently the Modern Mandarin is the variant, which seems weird. Edited February 19, 2010 by battlecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I imagine quite a few people will be using Mandarin to make Ra's al Ghul. I would assume that BBTS has the variant wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Now that I have had time to consider everything new that was shown at Toy Fair I think this wave is what I am anticipating the most. I love me some IM stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Robeless mandarin kinda looks like Mirror, Mirror Spock. It's also strange that Crimson Dynamo is absent from the group shot. Edited February 19, 2010 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Anyone else see Robeless Mandarin's scaly green alien hands? Now THAT'S attention to detail. I like that accessory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Maybe whoever compiled the individual shots into the group shot just grabbed the first seven images in sight, so accidentally doubled up on Mandarin? They did leave Ult. Spider-Woman off the group shot a little while back. I would assume that BBTS has the variant wrong. It looks like they just cut-and-paste the DST product description. It could still be a mistake, of course. Edited February 19, 2010 by battlecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I did notice the hands, and that's really cool that they included them. "Classic" Mandarin still completely lacks rings... which is wierd. You'd think they'd at least PS some on there. And Wilbur stores spare stilts on his back... sweet. Shame about the Dynamo not making the group shot. Hopefully the individual proto-shots will turn up soon. I do hope that the Silver Centurion has a "repulsor hand" this time. The prototype shown at the toy fair looked a LOT better. Never thought I'd see a minimate look pin headed, but there it is. Neo looks awsome. Very Bob Layton face.

BrobotC Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 i dont like the new Silver Centurion Iron Man, the new sculpted parts make it look weird,like the shoulder/chest peice for silver centurion ironman.but then again these are prototypes,so what can i say,but the only packi might be picking up is Stilt-Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Odd that classic Mandy doesn't have rings. Very cool that "Modern" Mandy has green, scaly hands from that era in the comics. I hope that both the Iron Men will have those sholder peices as moveable, like the rings around the arms on the classic Iron Man's shoulders and the latest classic Wolverine with the shoulder pads as removable. That'd be killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be killer. Just from the pics... the only difference between Silver Centurions are a neck ring, some hair for helmetless Tony, and different shades of paint. Which is to say, the chest/shoulder piece is solid and will limit movement. Both the BBTS pic and a shot from TF seem to bear that out. But on the other hand, Neo's shoulder armor look like separate parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare with the MMDB pic and one can see a much larger triangle and shroter shoulder flares. And the large bar thing at the neck doesn't exist on the new one.

Forgot the boots on the old one were painted on. Still has built in shoulder pads, so even though I was mosly wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 The Art Asylum blog has just released a photo of the Crimson Dynamo and an explanation as to why he wasn't included in the promo pics. So - for anyone who was worried that he might not be included in wave 36, fear not! 'At the time of the listing in Previews the Crimson Dynamo was not ready to show, so for those of you interested, here he is.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in this case, they don't need extra hair for when the helmet comes off, as Dimitri Burhkov (sp) in always dipicted bald. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Very cool! I love getting Iron Man minimates but it is also very cool to be getting a bunch of IM villains too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 So I was looking at various toy news sites this afternoon, being a wonderful combination of OCD and ADD, and I noticed this picture from the TF last week. See what I see? No, not the curious lack of rings. It's the label line from the decal they used for his chest detail. Think we should forward them the helpfully article from the Factory on how to apply those and not let you "seams" show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prototypes often have not so subtle decal lines and joints that are painted solid. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Very cool! I love getting Iron Man minimates but it is also very cool to be getting a bunch of IM villains too! True that! My heroes far outnumber my villains right now. I'm not saying that's necessarily bad, but I could use a change of villainy, if you know what I'm saying.

I'm not saying that's necessarily bad, but I could use a change of villainy, if you know what I'm saying. Sadly you could have one of each character made, (e.i. count Wolverine, Iron Man, etc only once despite multiple versions) add in a second army builder for each type, and eight extra Skrulls from the SI set, and the good guys still outnumber the bad guys by a lot. Of course, the bad guys have Mephisto, the Beyonder and Thanos... so it's probably more even than you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 You know, since they unexpectedly released wave 34 earlier than expected along with wave 33, I wonder if they will release wave 36 earlier (maybe with wave 35?) to coincide with the Iron Man 2 release.

minimadman Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I doubt that they are released too soon we only just saw the prototypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure your right minimadman, but then again if someone told me DST was going to rlease wave 34 early and push back wave 35, I probably would not have believed that either. Curious though, I wonder how long it has been since they showed us prototypes of wave 34 and this months release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Curious though, I wonder how long it has been since they showed us prototypes of wave 34 and this months release date? Just last November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Well, wave 34 pics started being shown on November 6 of last year. Packaged pics were shown on February 15. BBTS got them in on March 10. So, the timeline was: 3 months, 9 days from debut to packaged pics 23 days from packaged pics to release total of 4 months, 4 days from debut to release Now, that's probably not a normal timeline since no one else but BBTS got these. But, if you want to go by this, then middle June should be when they hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
