Mystery Man Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Agreed. Falcon, please. Classic red/white with a first appearance green/orange Colan costume would be a-mazing. That Beta Ray Bill sculpted head looks keen. I hope the real one looks half as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawcanada Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I hate to say it but TRU waves only depress me now. They tease us with out of stock listings online and my store now hasn't had a new wave since the FF wave and have ALL minimates on clearance. All these announcements do is make eBay sellers richer and make us poorer. sorry to be negative but until TRU's website gets it in their head there is a large online demand for minimates I'm going to be a little bitter. As a UK based collector who is reliant on people helping me get these waves or having to scower eBay if they aren't and hope I don't get stung, I couldn't agree more. Balder and Beta Ray Bill are both high on my "WANT NOW!" list, and if the Cap costume is indeed the one youbastards suggested, it's a variant I can't wait to get. Hopefully all bar the SW Cap/Crossbones sets are part of an upcoming boxset and/or wave so I won't have to jump though TOO many hoops to get them. Else...

Else... Else what? Give Chuck an oatmeal cookie? The Secret War Cap/Crossbones set is the TRU exclusives. So happy hoop jumping! :sad: Edit: Nevermind, I skimmed the post and misread the Crossbones set statement.

hellpop Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Finally able to get AFI to load today, so for everyone else that might have been having problems, here's the link again: http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/afi-6th-anniversary-scoop-week-day-2-dst-marvel-minimates-news (BTW, I started the Minimate Thread that Dan links to there, way back when I still posted regularly at AFI, until I got fed up with some of the Mods there (not Dan!). It just tickled me to see it's still active... somewhat. Never was a big Minimate community there. Looking through that thread, though, it looks like Ivan's metaphysical Minimates query threw them for a loop. :biggrin: ) Edited April 23, 2011 by hellpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Same could be said about Lizard and look how (insert adjective you think fits best) he looks without any sculpting. DST ended up calling him "Silver Age" Lizard, a version of the character that was less lizard-like and didn't have much of a snout, so I think they bought themselves some cover on that one. I don't think there's a way to work around doing a sculpted head for Beta Ray Bill and I don't think they'll try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I think we WILL get a new hammer for Beta Ray Bill. and I will take 400 caps to get characters like crossbones and zola!!! although a falcon with Zola. . that would be straight win. ^ This. Falcon's my #1 most wanted Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 im surprised we havnt gotten falcon, i mean they dont even really have to come up with new pieces for him, i would be happy getting him even if its a complete reuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Falcon has always been my most wanted Minimate & I feel the time is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 i think the fact that only two of these are exclusives means we will be seeing LCS waves of comicbook cap and thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Which Falcon would you guys like to see? Classic or modern. My vote's for classic Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Either.....nice paint,nicely-fitting wings............ & attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 if you mean red and white classic than that gets my vote, i feel like aslong as its his red and white costume we can use it for modern or classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Which Falcon would you guys like to see? Classic or modern. My vote's for classic Falcon. This one (not sure if it's classic or modern) But, regardless of which version we get (and this goes without saying), he must come with Redwing. im surprised we havnt gotten falcon, i mean they dont even really have to come up with new pieces for him, i would be happy getting him even if its a complete reuse They could just re-use Vulture's wings (but hopefully Falcon's would be painted the proper color... ).

Mystery Man Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Which Falcon? Classic Falcon please: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3653/3539012143_e98025e209_z.jpg Or 1st apperance even! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hF09r6XaLRo/S0DJ1VAqOoI/AAAAAAAACK0/OvstFf4FKb0/s400/captain+america+117+cover+falcon.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 i say give us classic with a 1st appearance variant. my top wants for a cap wave are: falcon winter soldier baron zemo for a thor wave: enchantress executioner wrecker (or a new absorbing man) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way one series could have the 1st Appearance Falcon as the variant and the other could have two Baron Zemo's... one 1st Appearance and one 1980's version.

undeadpool Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) that would be very cool but i doubt seeing that, though i do hope there are 2 waves (1 cap, 1 thor) i can see us just seeing 1 thor/cap wave. but i hope it ends up like this: cap wave: commander rodgers/Baron Zemo civil war cap/arnim zola modern falcon/SHIELD agent classic falcon/SHIELD agent thor wave: Enchantress/Executioner Armored thor/ Beta Ray Bill Absorbing man/ (army builder) Absorbing man* / (army builder) *i cant think of a variant, but i think hes gonna have a diferant look for fear itself so that could be cool Edited April 24, 2011 by undeadpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Why not get regular Falcon with classic as the variant? You could pack him with a modern SHIELD agent as a troop builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 i like that idea, then swap winter soldier for baron zemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MST3KFan Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Replace one of the Thors with a Thunderstrike and I'd be totally satified with theis line-up... Well, aside from the mentioned Falcon. Come on, we have the wings for him from Vulture and stuff... Just make a little minimate bird and he's easy!

Come on, we have the wings for him from Vulture and stuff... Just make a little minimate bird and he's easy! No offense, but that sounds like an awful idea. I for one am a huge advocate of the anti-Thunderstrike movement. Seriously, he has to be one of the worst characters in the Marvel U. I would take "Typeface" over Thunderstrike. I am overly satisfied with the lineup, but I agree Falcon would be killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Since they already did Cap through the Ages last year, I think we'll get a Cap Friends and Foes box at some point, and Falcon would be a natural choice. He makes too much sense not to do. I'll be shocked if this year ends without a Falcon Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
