jcastick Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Really excited about this wave, hoping to get the 4 exclusive packs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 i don't think she is smaller than chun-li or x-23. I'm pretty sure it's just the perspective making her look a little smaller. There's definitely some scaling issues in Photoshop, but it may be a necessity of the Minimate body that she's a millimeter shorter than Chun-Li (who has a skirt piece) and Felicia (who has a tail). You can't really put in a spacer to give her height without giving her a giant belt or a bulky torso piece. I can't believe I am saying this, but hopefully they throw in some duck feet.

Mirymate Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You're right, I can't believe you are saying that. Unless they have a way to make duck feet look like high heels. I am hoping you're right, Zach. Cause right now, that Doom cape looks bad. I don't remember it looking like that from the Con display.

karamazov80 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Ryu 2.0, Modok, and Wesker, are fanfreakintabulous. I personally don't really care about Doom's cape, because I don't feel any need whatsoever for another Doom. Will definitely be using X-23's feet for my Tarantula, as well. . .I don't know that I've ever picked her to play in the game, and don't know that I ever will.

She is great in the game, give her a chance. I use her on a regular basis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I hope MODOK and Wesker aren't shortpacked like Dormammu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Shoot me down if I'm a madman, but are the new x-23 feet a little smaller/flatter, to make her that bit shorter? Some lovely new mates there... MODOK, Wesker. Lots of duds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate_studio Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Are these all the finalized actual figures or will there still be some slight changes? Overall they look great, but some things just seem a little off here and there. Any time you see pictures on white (or blue) like this, they're pictures of prototypes, and therefore are not final. They may not fit together just right, coloring may not be final, and we may not show all of their accessories. For instance, I believe MODOK's jet base will be translucent, and that this Thor comes with a spinning hammer. I thought that was the case, but wanted to double-check. Thanks for the info, Zach! Hopefully some of the proportions will come out a little nicer on the final product. Doom's cape is SO CLOSE to being amazing. Anyone have that pic of him from Comic Con handy to compare? Like I said, I'm pretty excited for all of these. The only pack I'm really on the fence about is Dr. Doom/Blond Neo. The cape will really make my decision for me. I'm most excited about Akuma/MODOK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lovely new mates there... MODOK, Wesker. Lots of duds though. Man I hope not. We've already got a problem with X23 having treaded feet, and Tarantula having regular feet. Someone is going to loose out on authenticity either way. But if this new X23 has short feet, then we're really screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webhead Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 lol ok. but how is short feet screwing everyone? Is it because Tarantula will have short feet? Big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I hope MODOK and Wesker aren't shortpacked like Dormammu. Wesker is the opposite of shortpacked. He and Doom are the regular figures in both the TRU and specialty assortments. MODOK might be less common, since he's the TRU exclusive. I believe they're currently sending TRU fewer of those than they do of the big guns. But Dormammu was specialty exclusive, so there were fewer of him to begin with.

Wait wait wait....are we really concerned about the size of Shulkie and not the size of MODOK?!?!?! In the picture, he doesn't have standard size Minimate arms and legs!!!! (I'm sure he will when he comes out, but still....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think that's just the Photoshop scale issue at work on MODOK. Looks like his image had to be scaled down to fit. And please no duck feet for Shulkie. She looks great as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the picture, he doesn't have standard size Minimate arms and legs!!!! (I'm sure he will when he comes out, but still....) Turtle's right -- scaling is off. We did not use SMALLER arms and legs for MODOK. From NYCC: Shulkie and Felicia: Nomad's awesome MvC3xNYCC gallery: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Zach, can you confirm if the spinning hammer that Thor will be coming with will be translucent at all? It seems like the brown area should be somewhat clear. I forget who said it, but someone asked why Thor came with a wagon wheel...either way, I can't wait, this is one character variant I am eagerly awaiting, plus all my other Thors will need their own spinning hammer accessory...

I can only speak for myself, but was only inquiring about the girl's feet. Are they smaller/shorter, Zach? I very much like the idea, she is a young girl after all, and am not really fussed about giving a pair to Tarantula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bet your bubkis they are. Xforce: treads Trarantula: regular MvC: Short? These three things are not interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It's Photoshop, people. Look at the pic. Ryu is smaller than everyone else. Not just height-wise, but the scale of his arms & legs compared to the others'. There's only one sculpt of 2" Minimate parts. And looking at the case pic, Shulkie's perspectively behind a figure with big feet & a big hairpiece. This She-Hulk will be the same, exact size as the one we got in Wave 16. Calm down. It all looks amazing, Zach. And I can't begin to express how happy I am that we're finally getting Felicia. It only saddens me that Jon Talbain isn't in either MvC3 game.

DSTZach Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Xforce: treads Trarantula: regular MvC: Short? These three things are not interchangeable. Well, if they were all the same, you wouldn't need to interchange them! Zach, can you confirm if the spinning hammer that Thor will be coming with will be translucent at all? Yes, pretty sure. Not positive about translucent brown vs. straight clear, but yes. I can only speak for myself, but was only inquiring about the girl's feet. Are they smaller/shorter, Zach? They certainly look that way in the NYCC shots, I'll try to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) @ Zach: Is the white on the lower half of Super Skrull's stretch base suppose to represent his ability to turn invisible? If that was the intent on the prototype, to your knowledge will this feature make it to the final product? AND Is Chris Redfield really going to come packed with the Joker's big pop gun (minus the "bang" flag) as an accessory?

fwoosheyman Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I know these aren't everyone's cup of tea but I am lovin the MvC line. Great versions of classic video game characters, some new marvel characters and good updates to already-done marvel characters. Wave 3 looks great and I'm hoping there will be more.

Dio Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 For some reason the stand for my Iron Man isn't fitting right. How am I supposed to have him hold the proton cannon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 For some reason the stand for my Iron Man isn't fitting right. How am I supposed to have him hold the proton cannon? The proton cannon has a hole you plug the flight stand into. That way IM doesn't fall over when posed with it. His glove piece doesn't hold the cannon very well to begin with.
