groundhog7s Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'm guessing Cyclops being shown without a visor to show the underneath detail. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with what's shown, but am assuming there's stuff being held back for their pannel. I'd just like to see some better pics.

boyd Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 And I'll be No. 3 in the White Fantomex club. Whoo-hoo! I'll start making the White Fantomex club t-shirts! Please let me know what size you wear. Now I'm wondering if we'll get some news about the next wave of Minimates at TRU this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Boyd: Of course! We are mighty! Yes, that is what AoA Cyclops looks like under his visor (he lost an eye to Weapon X, who lost his hand in the process). I'm thinking that's a stand-in hairpiece, though, since it's nowhere close to what it should be. Visor or not. Scott had long hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 And as much as I'm curious as to what else might be revealed, I'm more interested in what Chuck has to say. I know a few members were planning on having some time with him and it'll be interesting to hear what he has to say to them and at the pannel.

MiniFiend UK Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Is that another Wolvie in the X-force Black and Grey set? I don't recognise the mask and it seems a bit darker then the one released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yeah, looks like a new head/mask for the previous X-Force Wolvie, ala the Venkman gooey hairpiece. Actually, looks like the ankle/wrist cuffs are slightly different too, so it may be a whole seperate figure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 We get a new X-Force Wolverine, but no Domino, Vanisher, Elixir, or Wolfsbane? Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 We get a new X-Force Wolverine, but no Domino, Vanisher, Elixir, or Wolfsbane? Lame. I agree. I LOATHE Fantomex. After Kyle & Yost leave the book, and Deadpool and Fantomex join, I fear I won't be able to take X-Force seriously. I'm thinking of dropping the title. Don't get me wrong, I know DP has tons of fans and Fantomex looks kinda Storm-shadowy so I think this set will sell for DST, but I personally don't want it. A set with Domino, Vanisher, Elixir, & Wolfsbane would have been a big WIN for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChunk Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Very, very interesting stuff shown so far. I'm in for all of the Marvel sets, though the Heroic Age group is more so I can get the new flight stand. The Halo minimates are beginning to garner more and more interest from me as well.

drgnrbrn316 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I guess, with the TRU sets supposedly acting to compliment the other sets out there, there's a chance that anyone's favorite that was overlooked in these box sets could be covered in a 2-pack down the line. Assuming you can find a store that carries them and hasn't sold out of them. Still, I see a LOT of X-Men love, which doesn't interest me much. I hope series 38 and TRU series 8 are unveiled at some point, with some other characters on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I wasn't able to post this last night, but today's a new day. I took a pretty clear pic of that X-Force boxset last night, check it out here: http://twitgoo.com/19sdhx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Hooray for Radiation Suit Doc and Strickland! I like the look of that new Biff. From far away, at least. I am also quite excited for that Captain America set! Love me some Cap! Edited July 22, 2010 by God Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny B Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 It's probably just me that thinks that though. It's not just you I like the idea of sculpting out the eyes and whatnot, but I don't think it was executed very well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, now I'm trying to remember if Wolverine once got busy in a Burger King bathroom... QUOTE (Donny B @ Jul 22 2010, 11:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like the idea of sculpting out the eyes and whatnot, but I don't think it was executed very well... Yeah, it bugs me. Stands out too much and says "Hey, remember how no other Minimate has a nose? Well, screw that 'cause Wolverine is the best at what he does, and that's having unnecessary details that detract from the established Minimate style". It may say something different to you.

groundhog7s Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Then it's agreed-Wolverine is actually from a Digital Underground boxset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel America Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 So it's a good day to be an X-Men fan, huh? I'm really excited about the AoA variants. So we have Weapon X, Jean, Apocalypse, Dark Beast, Cyclops, Magneto, Rogue, and Sunfire. That's pretty darn awesome, even if there are others left I want to see (Holocaust, Morph, Blink, Sugar Man, X-Man, etc). opefully the "maybe" on DC mates means good things.

Chronotrigger Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Sweet AOA sets. So first set PX Exclusive is Weapon X Jean Grey Apocalyspe Dark Beast Then AFX Exclusive Magneto Rogue Sunfire Cyclops SWEET SWEET lineups. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Though Jean's top looks sort of weird...

Jatta Pake Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I talked to a guy at the DC booth (not Georg) who answered my question about DC mates making a comeback with "potentially." That's a lot better than the "no" or "ask DST" we've gotten for the last three years... Will follow up with Georg tomorrow. I love everything announced so far. But this has me off the charts with excitement. Someone corner Georg. DCD could easily get some of that TRU money with DC Minimates. . . . . On a separate note: I predict Chuck will announce the return of Minimates to Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are as bad as walmart when it comes to finding someone to actually help you. Plus they all have a "collector bias" around here probably due to the people that buy up stuff for the local comic shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before and I hold to it-I'll be surprised if Target doesn't carry the Pirates/MAX lines. Those totally fit their style of toys.
