MINI_MYTE Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Time to start an official thread. AA has packaging pics up on their blog. Gut feeling tells me we will see these roughly around the time POTC4 is released and not 6 weeks from now. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I can't wait! Lots of potential for part-swapping between characters to come up with new pirates! Have any of the TRU spies posted the items number for these yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm really liking these figures and have since they where first announced. On a side note one step closer to a minimate Tricorn Hat. It may sound strange I'm jonesing for a hat but I can guess that if we get one in this line it could easy be used in marvel for a Spirit of 76 minimate.

Danny Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 My two standouts are Calico Jack and Jonathan Barnet, as Jack reminds me of Captain America with the colouring, and I love the Navy uniform on the latter. Also really interesting to see the bios on the back, looks like they are trying to link all the Minimates together in a strong good vs evil narrative.

Have any of the TRU spies posted the items number for these yet? If I'm not mistaken, the number was posted a while back with that big item number dump: 646987 I have all of these in a note on my phone, and just go down the list when I make my weekly phone call to TRU...

Mystery Man Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 These look fun. My girlfriend and I had a good time dissecting which ones we liked and didn't liked. "THAT one looks FUGLY!" "Lookit his smarmy look on his face! I hate that one!" "That'd be neat for the coat without the big belt thing." Hee hee hee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Awesome. I hope these aren't too difficult to obtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Awesome. I hope these aren't too difficult to obtain. I'm guessing they'll be about the same difficulty as obtaining the MAX Heroes 2-packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Awesome. I hope these aren't too difficult to obtain. I'm guessing they'll be about the same difficulty as obtaining the MAX Heroes 2-packs. I'm hoping that DST and TRU learned some lessons from those, since they seemed to disappear rather quickly. I'm somewhat surprised that there's no variations, like there were with the fire chiefs. Anyway, pretty nice. At the very least, I'm always happy to get more buccaneer boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Man, Charles Vane looks like the Zombie Pirate LeChuck. Now if only I could figure out how to make a custom Guybrush... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 It looks like "Old Dad the Cooper" has a slip cover face. If you look up close, you can see a flesh toned minimate head just below his chin. I wonder what surprise is underneath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckycreature Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Im in. Want them all. First series of minimates in a while that I wanted every one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioad Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) So, some of these have TRU Exclusive labels, others do not. Are we to surmise that the non-labeled packages will be sold at our LCS as well? I am more interested in the "regular" waves (if there is one) than the TRU exclusives. OOOOOkay, just actually took the time to read the blog post and not stare at the pretty pictures. Why are two of the packs TRU exclusives when all of the packs are "only available at TRU." It's late. Someone please help me to figure this out. Edited April 30, 2011 by pioad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I wouldn't assume that. The TRU exclusive label seems to be applied haphazardly. Ostensibly, those are supposed to be sets that are not available anywhere else. However, that sometimes just means a packaging variant. Example 1 Example 2 My guess would be that some figures in non-"exclusive" packs will only be available at TRU. Examples of this here and here.

storm 1:08 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 There could be a comic shop box set like the upcoming GB ghosts and the MAX box sets later in the future. Although, the MAX are same figures but just different faces, I think. But I am confident comic shops will get a box set of this line eventually.

DST Chuck told me on FB that these guys would be released as 2-packs at TRU and MAYBE as 4-packs at specialty stores later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Don't forget the Femme Fatale box set for more piratey goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
