TM2 Dinobot Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 It's nice to have actual back stories on these as opposed to the MAX guys. I think DST realized too late that it's hard to have bios when all of your guys are identical. Quote
MisterPL Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I imagine it's easier to do bios on historical figures like Calico Jack than it is to make them up, especially when the character is "Cop #2." Quote
DSTchuck Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I imagine it's easier to do bios on historical figures like Calico Jack than it is to make them up, especially when the character is "Cop #2." Bio's exist for MAX as well to go with their storyline. Quote
drgnrbrn316 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I imagine it's easier to do bios on historical figures like Calico Jack than it is to make them up, especially when the character is "Cop #2." Bio's exist for MAX as well to go with their storyline. Cop #2 is the young, inexperienced partner to the grizzled veteran Cop #3. When Cop #3 is killed by Robber #1 only 2 days until retirement, Cop #2 vows to get vengeance for his fallen mentor. Quote
Lobsterman Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Then Crooked Vice Cop #1 takes Cop #2 under his wing and shows him "how the system really works." Cop #2 has to make a difficult choice between principles and power, justice and vengeance, when he discovers Robber #1 was actually one of Crooked Vice Cop #1's lackeys, sent to keep Cop #3 quiet before he blew the lid off of Crooked Vice Cop #1's whole racket! Thrilling stuff! Quote
NorthRaider Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I have to admit, the MARRRRvel pirates made me snort in amusement. And now the webcomic in my head is imagining what Deadpool's other seafaring ancestors looked like... Quote
karamazov80 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Awesome comic references! Not familiar with the 3rd guy. Silver Deadpool? Quote
battlecat Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Looks like there's another carry case coming out, with a pirate mate this time... Edited May 20, 2011 by battlecat Quote
boyd Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Wow. Did the first case really sell that well? As for the pirate - if he's translucent, I'll have to get him. Quote
youbastards Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Yes, the cases sold out from Diamond pretty quickly and are pretty much sold out with the online retailers. Only 88 cases (8 Collector Cases per case) were produced meaning only 704 Collector Cases and Battle Beasts are out there. Once I get my loose collection organized the way I want, I'll post some pix! I personally would like to see DST periodically re-release the case with a new 'mate and a different case design, so I am all for this! Edited May 20, 2011 by youbastards Quote
MINI_MYTE Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 Looks like the Hulk had a pirate ancestor. :biggrin: Quote
boyd Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I was thinking about it, and the only thing better than a green translucent pirate would be a glow-in-the-dark pirate. Make it happen, DST! Quote
minijeff Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Looks like there's another carry case coming out, with a pirate mate this time... I love it!! I have several of the first one and will get some of this one too! They are great ideas, way better constructed than I had thought they would be and are a great help in keeping my minimate area more organized! I really do hope DST continues with these like this, its a great idea! Jeff of the Miniacs Quote
TM2 Dinobot Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Anybody find these yet? I was gona hit TRU today and was wondering if there were any SKUs Quote
