Mirymate Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I liked it much better when I realized it was it's own micro-continuity and I didn't have to figure out how this was supposed to fit into the existing 616 time line. But it didn't hold my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Maybe I just got the reject boxset but I just received mine from Amazon and it reeks. I mean it literally is really smelly. I opened the box and it almost knocked me on my butt. Tried washing the minimates in soap & water and nothing. The minimates smell like super strength moth-balls. Anybody else have this issue or did I just get the set which was accidentally doused in noxious chemicals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havok Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I hope that's not why they are going for 10.99... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havok Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It would be cool if they did visor print on the head block, so you can have the unmasked like in the comic and in astonishing x-men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havok Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) I think this set is pretty good. First off as you can see Iceman is fantastic, I think it's the best rendition of him since toybiz's efforts in the 90's Icemantoybiz. Cyclops is solid. This is first time we've gotten one without sunglasses in a while, at that I'm actually a big fan of when they put the sunglasses under the mask. This would have been a great time to do an alternate face print on the back, but you can't have it all. Jean is also very solid and I think my favorite figure of her aside from the upcoming MvC Phoenix. Then Warren is next he uses the same body as Cyclops and wings from the Champions Angel. My problem is his face, while not a bad minimates face just not the right one for pre-Archangle Warren, he looks to grumpy. With his mask the lines around the mouth just don't look right. Aside from that he does look good without the mask despite the the anger issues. Overall a good set with Iceman being the obvious winner. Now how about a redo of the Astonishing X-Men! My picture isn't great I don't have the right lighting to do them justice. Edited September 29, 2011 by havok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrossx Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Here are some pics of the new Iceman, sans hairpiece. The new one is at the far right of every pic. I agree this is the best so far, and I really only got the set for him. FYI, I got the set from Amazon as well but didn't notice any reekiness.

Pete Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Sorry... bringing back an old thread, but got a question maybe Zach can answer. Will 2012 finally bring us a First Class Beast to round this set off? Thanks Edited January 2, 2012 by Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Forget that, I want the Warriors 3 and the rest of the First Class from the movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Sorry... bringing back an old thread, but got a question maybe Zach can answer. Will 2012 finally bring us a First Class Beast to round this set off? Thanks I'm with this as well. I would love to see an updated First Class Beast without the duck feet. Would be great to see new Hulk style feet for Beast. However, just stick him in randomly ala Wave 31 Angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be perfectly clear you mean comic-style, because more movie Minimates ain't happening. We only have limited windows for those figures.

The Vox Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I know there are not a ton of Iceman fans out there.. but I am one. I have loved all the variations.. and I agree with montrossx and others that this set has the best version so far. I would like to see him with spikey shoulder and spikey hair from his ice spike days.. maybe a swap-out spiked fist. Also, nice pic of Spidey and his Amazing Friends.
