TM2 Dinobot Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 but when i asked someone, he said they were all out on the shelves... again i was on my lunch break so didn't have time to deal with their dimness. but i shall be back!

Nessex Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The little comic that comes with this set is kind of cute. It's fun to see something other than the standard 'Where's Wolvey' minimate poster they usual insert. All in all - i'm quite chuffed with this series.

TBT! Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Found the complete set in Tigard, OR last night. Well worth the wait, especially since I hadn't been able to pick up any of the older FF4 sets since I started collecting. Oi get orf my patch.... I might go swing by today now I know they are here in OR. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Paco Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Finally found the new FF minimates at the TRU in Bloomington, IL. They must have just put them out a little after noon. and they must have only gotten one case. I bought both packages of Namor & the Soldier they had. Since I am broke I did not get Reed & Doom, Johnny & Ben or Sue & Moleman. They had only two packages of Sue & Moleman but had like four of Reed & Doom and Johnny and Ben. I am a little disappointed in the Namor figure but I really only wanted the Soldier for customizing anyway. I saw a cool image of a custom Andorian from Star Trek and I am goingt to attempt to make my own and hope it turns out as cool. I am also going try my had at some Romulans because Namor's hairpiece sort of makes me think Romulan/Vulcan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcastick Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Has anyone posted a suitable replacement for Mole Man's cape? After opening the one I got and finding the cape roaming past his mouth, I didn't want that cape any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yeah I would love to hear other's suggestions for that, his cape is about the lamest of all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 If you give Moley some regular c3 feet, he stands a bit taller and the cape doesn't get all up in his face. It makes him a bit taller, but I don't think it looks bad. Plus he can get placed on a Lego stand. BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 That's what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Will have to try that..... didn't really set him down to see him standing but did notice a LOT of movement of that cape and just didn't seem right. Thanks for the suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Mine wouldn't stand up unless I leaned him way forward, and that made his cape collar sit around the middle of his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I got my Moleman to stand up pretty well by having him hold the cane so it touched the ground behind him rather than in front. It's not ideal, but it works. He's still holding the cane in front, it's just angled so that it goes back and to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I assure you that the number I ordered for myself probably pales in comparison to the number that a certain 'varmint' ordered to help out other members. I just noticed this and I have no idea what you're talking about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MST3KFan Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I so HATE my local TRU. They removed the Marvel Minimates tag around the time these guys started to show up at other TRUs in the country being all like "I guess we won't be getting them." I went there today to see in the Marvel toy aisle a whole row of Reed/Doom and Human Torch/Thing sets on a peg. No Sue/Mole Man or Namor/Atlantean Soldier sets. They weren't there the day before. (I stopped back in today because I was checking the nearby K-Mart for DC Universe wave 15) So I'm glad I bought these all online earlier because otherwise I would be really, really TICKED. Hopefully it was a fellow minimate collector, though I'm doubting it since none of the non-TRU exclusive sets looked to have been bought... If not a collector...stupid scalpers...

Nessex Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I didn't much care for the Hood that came with Doom. . . . so i grabbed a spare Spectre/Secret Wars Doom Hood. The colour is pretty close to the collar, so it's nto a bad match. Also - anyone who wants their Monica to look a little less 'Afro-tastic', the Atlantean hair piece works well.

youbastards Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Those look nice, I may have to do that with my Monica! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yeah, that's a much better look. And then you can modify her afro piece to fit on Professor X. It's a win-win situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I think Dr. Fate came with hair that would be perfect for an andorian. I was thinking of making a Ronan the Accuser with the Atlantian... Im sure as soon as I finish him hell be announced in a regular wave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
