buttheadsmate Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I reckon that displaying Magneto without his helmet is a huge mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 right on this set looks great! too bad the bio for Sunfire says Sunspot and describes that characters role in the Age of Apocalypse not Sunfires....someone wasn't paying attention to what they were doing at all Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anyone id the green collar looking thing behind and to the right of Rogue's head? It's an extra without the Cape-part on it, for alternate display. I can't fathom why DST is so hellbent on packaging characters without masks/helmets on when they need it most; Magneto without his creepy black face and helmet, but wit his craggy old-man face and "flowing locks" just doesn't give the same appeal... Sunfire and Scott look great, however!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Looks like it's packed with a mini-version of the poster that was shown @ SDCC too! I'm gettin really geared up about this set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Silver Centurion Iron Man and the red paint stains? The factory did a rush job and didn't let the paint dry so that is the reason for it. While I agree that I would prefer the mask on, I think DST is leaving the mask off as a precaution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were being sold in Brick & Morter stores it would agree though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Packaging pics of the second set of AoA minimates are up on the AA blog. Enjoy! Edited September 26, 2010 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casval Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Man, I can't wait to get these. they are simply the best minimates I've seen. I'm a huge AOA fan and I'll buy just about anything X-men. I can't wait to find out if we'll get 2 packs to round this out abit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainChunk Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm way more pumped about these than the SDCC sets. Can't wait for them to be available at Lukes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Hey Guys, Packaging pics of the 2nd AoA set have shown up on the Art Asylum blog: http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2010/09/even...alypse-for-you/ Shame they called Logan 'Wolverine' rather than Weapon X. Wolverine was a totally different character in the AoA: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2009...arth-295%29.jpg Looks like 'boob-gate' made it to the final product if these pics are to be believed. EDIT: Apocalypse looks like he's been given Blue lips. The promo shot showed him with grey lips. I think it looks better. It's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like a hint or metallic blue peeking out of the packaging @ Beasts waist line. Hopefully this means his pants will be brighter metallic shade than what was shown in the promo shots. Over-all, i'm pretty happy with what i'm seeing here Edited September 27, 2010 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjasontodd Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 i dont know if someone else mentioned this, but I hope that under that massive head Weapon X has a scared and burnt scalp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over-all, i'm pretty happy with what i'm seeing here Going off of "Boob-gate," for you non-believers, look at the black part of the costume and the, forgive me for how awful this sounds, the center of her chest. You can see the curves of her breasts and ribs, and there is even a slight line towards the bottom of her breasts to show where they actually are. Those two big lines below are DEFINITELY Jean's ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still - i'm glad to be getting this set. most of these looks only featured for a maximum of like 6-issues (Alpha, 1, 2, 3, 4 & Omega).

Colonel America Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 It's impossible for me to decide which characters I'd like to see in related 2-packs, as there are too many choices. Definitely Mr. Sinister... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm going to pass on the AoA mates, as i've never read it or anything (plus, y'know... money n' all that), but I do think that Apocalypse head is fantastic, a real improvement on the w19(?) one will be requesting that pic when you guys start getting your hands on them.

TENIME_art Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Those "rib lines" make a perfect circle lined up with her cleavage. You are all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Those "rib lines" make a perfect circle lined up with her cleavage. You are all wrong. If you are correct then Jean has giant old lady boobs that droop to her belly button. What are the other lines between the "ribs" and the top of the breast then? Gigantic areola protruding through her costume?? The lower lines are clearly ribs. You can tell from how they arch over the abdominal line to form the solar-plexus. The lines in between the ribs and the top of the breast are either shadow or just poorly positioned lines that should make up the bottom of the breast. If you look at the packaged mate it looks much better than the pic on the back of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Wrong. The lines in the middle are the comic-style "shading" that are painfully evident in this picture: The line that you think is her ribs, that is in actuality the bottom of her breasts, is halfway down the torso block, where all Minimate women have them. Rogue's are in the same spot. Do you think She-Hulk has no lower definition? That she has two rib lines? Do you think the middle line are the bottom of Firestar's chest, and the actual bottom is her ribline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I think if they were trying for a 'shine effect', they completely missed the mark. The effect should have been flipped upside down to resemble the shine in the comic artwork. I'd like to see the minimate without the collar piece to really see the full detail.

Twisted Two-Face Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 You are right that those middle lines ARE shine lines. Those aren't the debate. The issue is that Jean does NOT have an outline for the bottom of her breasts. AT ALL. You can plainly see where they are supposed to be though, with the black part of the costume suggesting curves. Jean had a much more elongated torso, and i thinkl DST was just trying to fit it all in without making the tampo too cluttered. Either way, there is no defined breat bottom. There is shine, there are ribs, but not definition to her womanly form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
