youbastards Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 LOL, Braxton Hicks is now the official term for the TRU 'false alarm' items that appear online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I also found these today! I thought the Hulk in this series was a darker shade of green than the previous mega Hulk and now I can say my assumptions were correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate_studio Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Picked up Magneto/Zero and Deadpool/Dante today in Southern Ohio. Both sets are very cool and highly recommended. All four look amazing and the accessories are nice to have (four guns with the Deadpool/Dante pack!). I didn't see any QC issues with any of the packs at my TRU, so hopefully that's good news for everyone. While I was there, I also picked up a Stealth MAX Jet. It's freakin awesome, too. Great day for me and minimates. Edited October 31, 2011 by nate_studio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 And the Hulk is a slightly lighter green than MEGA-RAGE Hulk.

The Vox Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My TRU had all of them but I had to zero in on 2 of the 4 for financial reasons. The Proton Cannon is pretty sweet. I was surprised at how much I liked the Megaman guy.. and I love how these packs are loaded with extras.. Magneto in flight looks pretty cool. Bring on MODOK!

TM2 Dinobot Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 All of the MvC sets are in stock at TRU.com Sweet!! I just checked!! Went to purchase....$5 shipping = $12.49 Checked Bank account - $9.44 Me = Oh, wait, no. That was you too, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Hulk in this series was a darker shade of green than the previous mega Hulk and now I can say my assumptions were correct. Maybe brighter is a better word. To me the MvC3 Hulk looked lighter and more vibrant, but I'll be the first to admit that I could be wrong. It could just have been the box art throwing me off.

storm 1:08 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm surprised there's still 200+ packs on the website. Even packing does make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I might've missed pics, but do the Magneto/Zero & Hulk/Haggar packs have the silver TRU sticker on them, since those are the exclusives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yeah, they do. The stickers aren't in the middle of the package though. They're in the top left corner between Ryu and Wolverine. You can see it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minivenom Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Anyone in the Cincinnati area, the TRU in Florence, KY still had some after I got my set on Saturday. Haven't been to any other local TRUs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I might have looked at it wrong after I saw your quote Turtle, but I had my wife look at it and she said the Marvel vs. Capcom mate is definitely a darker shade of green. I will post a comparison picture when I get a chance to do so. (The only other difference I noticed was that this Hulk's mouth is open) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storm 1:08 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) That hole in Zero's cannon makes it seem like there were plans for an energy blast accessory.

Lobsterman Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) As others have said, these are really outstanding 'mates. I picked up a set over the weekend and am now even more excited for waves 2 & 3 (and beyond?). I'm kind of a Megaman junkie, so I'm fiddling with Zero a bit, as I think his construction could have been a little better (ponytail attached to helmet with some kind of joint for posability; shoulderpad box things separated instead of one piece with chest cap; second non-buster arm piece), but overall I'm pretty happy. I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but there are a few subtle differences between this Zero and the blue "Megaman" version from the SDCC set. This release has the little kneecap shields sculpted onto the boots rather than painted onto the upper legs. He also has the ear caps sculpted on the helmet, where the SDCC one had them tampoed on. I'm curious why they created new tools for those pieces for variations that (IMHO) diminished the figure. The Zero with the sculpted parts is a lot truer to the character and seems like a higher-quality piece overall.

JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I used Magneto's purple hand blast, just bent up a paper clip, shoved it in the blast and the hand and it works fine. I'll put up a pic when I'm home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm awful at posing Minimates, but you get the picture. Literally. Also you really can't see it in person, the flash makes it seem much more prevalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) I don't know if this has been asked already... there's like 40+ pages of thread to go through here, so it may very well have, but um... Why do Hulk and Haggar come with a Nightcrawler BAMF base? I assume it's supposed to simulate like... dust kicking up or something, but I don't own Marvel vs Capcom 3, so I can't verify that for myself. Which character does it even go with?

Gillbob316 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'd like to ask everyone who has any of the bulked up hulk figures to take a moment and evaluate something for me... I noticed on my MvC3 Hulk, the upper leg covering on his left leg doesn't quite seem to cover the whole upper leg well. It has a "divit" (for lack of a better word) on the bottom that leaves some of the actual leg exposed underneith. Upon flipping him around, it seems on his right leg, the divit is in back, and helps accomidate the articulation in his knee. SOOOO... the conclusion I'm drawing is that it's the same piece flipped around. Now, that said, my natural line of thought leads me to wonder... do all hulks use the same piece on both legs, or is this a mixup, and my particular hulk has a right leg covering on both legs? Now, upon examining pictures on MinimateDatabase... it seems the Bulked Up wave 41 Hulk on that site also has a right leg covering on his left leg... but interestingly enough, it appears his MvC3 Red Hulk might have a left leg covering on his right leg... Soooooooooo... I'd ask that everyone take a close look at the upper leg coverings of their various bulked up hulks. Do they appear to match up flushly on both legs for anyone? Are there actually different pieces for the right and left legs? And if so... and my MvC3 Hulk indeed does have 2 right leg coverings, and no left leg covering... perhaps we could arrange some trades to get everyone's hulk legs squared away?
