pawcanada Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'm no expert on Zero, but I think that is supposed to be hair. It is. I'm also loving the fact it's X's pallet and they changed the hair to brown to match his (I never noticed it in the screen shot). I'll admit while the P2 sets are just re-paints I am REALLY keen with both of them. We get an updated version of Red Hulk and Stealth Iron Man as well as White Phoenix and X-Men Deadpool. I'm crossing my fingers for the 2099 pallet of Dr Doom. And as for the Thor boxset, I missed out on the Classic Heroic Boxset as I only wanted Thor so personally I'm happy of he's getting "re-released". And Future Foundation was inevitable but great. Too bad they didn't give Spidey a slip on mask (I've always liked it when Peter is with the Fantastic Four). I'm definitly looking forward to all four of them, though I doubt my wallet is too keen .

MinnesotaIceman Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Aren't we already getting a Beta Ray Bill in TRU wave 12? If so, the Thor set is a pass for me. Likewise for FF. The figures look great, but the premise is too ridiculous. I'll definitely get the two MvC sets, though, for bulked-up Red Hulk and yellow Deadpool.

karamazov80 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 And why is Sue blue? Maybe she blue herself? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BznwsT6r_tM And as for the Thor boxset, I missed out on the Classic Heroic Boxset Still available here, if you are interested: http://www.disneystore.com/marvel-universe-minimates-4-pack/mp/1279425/1000255/?CMP=OTL-Dcom&att=Search_minimates And well, well worth it. One of the greatest 4-packs ever. Up there with the Defenders set IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) So what do you guys think DST will be showcasing minimatewise at SDCC 2011? Marvel wave 41 for sure. TRU wave 12? More Marvel vs. Capcom 3 prototypes? What say you? Edited June 7, 2011 by MINI_MYTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Amusing that we're getting a Future Foundation boxed set... yet I asked in ad Q and A about it and was told nothing was in the works. LIES!

Bob Harris Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Those box sets caught me by surprise. Really like the look of the FF although I haven't read anything. Beta Bill looks very cool, but I might also try to get the 2-pack. I like how the MvC look and I think the selected charater designs are pretty cool, but I don't need 2nd player variants.

Prowlar Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 So when and were is the the final box set of MvC P2: Magneto, Trish, Dormamu, and Haggar likely to be reveled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 That Thor box is a must get just for BRB. the capcom box is a maybe and a last a Spidey worth getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 So when and were is the the final box set of MvC P2: Magneto, Trish, Dormamu, and Haggar likely to be reveled? never and nowhere hopefully. The Player 2 costumes released so far are either logical variants: -Deadpool: worn in Days of Future Now -Phoenix: worn when dead -Arthur: highest level of armor in Ghouls N' Ghost (we need an underpants Arthur and Dark Phoenix 2-pack since those are logical variants that aren't alternate costumes) -Hulk: Rulk -Iron Man: Stealth outfit -Morigan: a non-pedo-bait Lilith or could be kitbashed into logical variants: -Dante: Paint the coat blue, white being easier to paint blue then red, and he's 'concept' Vergil (Dante's brother used to have the same design as him, also I never played DMC3 or 4 so the white coat might have a real purpose in the game) -Zero (who is not "Megaman Zero" that's a comepletely different guy): Cutting the 'horns' and hair off his helmet and repainting his blaster will make a decent Megaman X, taking off the chest armor and replacing the helmet with Movie Mk1 Iron Man's captive Tony Starks hair and he'd be a pretty good Mega Man Volnut... basically he's a start for a non-mainstream Megaman until DST decides to make MvC2 figures. The remaining 4 do not have logical costume variants. Haggar and Trish only have the one outfit, Trish's alternate colors are based on other characters but do not look like them, this is the same for Dormamu and Magneto who have coloring based on cannon outfits (except for the teal "Mag-F**king-Neto") but the details do not match up well enough for them to actually represent that costume in minimate form. General talking: I like all 4 of these sets, I'll probably just wait until TRU wave 12 to get BRB but the two MvC sets and FF look good to me. FF Thing will go great with the TRU exclusive Hoodie Doom to form a "Thing and Doom go for a jog in track suits" team-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawcanada Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) -Dante: Paint the coat blue, white being easier to paint blue then red, and he's 'concept' Vergil (Dante's brother used to have the same design as him, also I never played DMC3 or 4 so the white coat might have a real purpose in the game) Actually Vergil has been announced as Dante's DLC costume, along with Super Solider Cap, Iron Patriot, Classic Thor, Street Fighter 1 Ryu (red slippers!) and Classic Chris (I think). Personally I would love to see Virgil, SF1 Ryu, Super Soldier Cap and one of the others (don't mind) at some point in the future. The remaining 4 do not have logical costume variants. Haggar and Trish only have the one outfit, Trish's alternate colors are based on other characters but do not look like them, this is the same for Dormamu and Magneto who have coloring based on cannon outfits (except for the teal "Mag-F**king-Neto") but the details do not match up well enough for them to actually represent that costume in minimate form. While I agree with the above, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't one of Magneto's pallets based off his Ultimate look, which is similar but a wee bit different? Surely that would be a logical variant to use in the future as it can double as Ult. Magneto. Edited June 7, 2011 by pawcanada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I PRAY that the Red Hulk we've already gotten is a color-match to this new one. I'd love a bulked up Rulk, but that face is awful, so I'd want to swap with the fantastic one we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Some cool news from AFX's Facebook page, especially for those that are planning on skipping the TRU Wave 12 Beta Ray Bill for the boxset, or vice versa: "We will send out more details later but the Beta Ray Bill is NOT the same Beta Ray Bill coming in the TRU set.
