groundhog7s Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Get Fonzie in here and let's jump the shark Mr. Henry Winkler takes great offense at this phrase. No, seriously. I saw him get very defensive during an interview about his roll in creating the phrase. He vehemently pointed out that the episode in question was actually very highly rated (even in reruns), the show continued to win it's time slot for several more years after that, and stayed in the top ten shows through out it's run. So in his expert opinion, the very pretense on which the concept has been named is flawed. Just sayin'. Actually Henry's sayin', I'm just repeatin'. Yes, but it was during that interview that Henry Winkler himself jumped the shark. After that time, he was interviewed less and by less reputable sources. Just sayin'. Of course, I was never a big fan of the phrase 'jumping the shark' and have preferred 'menacing the phantom' myself. Sorry for 'nuking the fridge' there. As to SDCC, I'm just glad we won't be seeing any new promos this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 As to SDCC, I'm just glad we won't be seeing any new promos this year. Do we know what MAX figures they will be giving away? I was thinking there were 4 pirates and 4 MAX mates as give-aways this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I think AA?DST will finally get their wish and release a Wave of all Spidey based figures based on this lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm very disappointed that Marvel didn't include a Wolvie-Spidey there Black Panther Spidey is probably my favorite of that bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I love that pic. I wish Jessica Drew wore that on a normal basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 First time I've seen that pic, and obviously my favourite there is Dagger. "Cut out more of my revealing costume to make a negative image spider-symbol, you say? Sure!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) Black Panther Spidey is probably my favorite of that bunch. Well his mate would probably have "back pecs" too. First time I've seen that pic, and obviously my favourite there is Dagger. "Cut out more of my revealing costume to make a negative image spider-symbol, you say? Sure!" Nothing says friendship and solidarity like showing more skin. Edited July 9, 2011 by Mirymate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cylonchaney Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 They already made a blue one. :tongue: Maybe that line will come back and Trek and I can win the lottery too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'm also pretty eager to see what offering Hasbro will be showing for the Marvel Universe line. It'd be nice to see if they have any plans for SuperHero Squad too. That line really seems to have wound down lately. . . i'd be unsurprised (but saddened) if they announced it's end. Also - There was mention of the return of the 6" Marvel Legends line in 2012. Maybe we'll see the first wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I could be wrong, but i think SHS is only going to be sold at TRU Another victim of the Marvel Disney deal. No cartoon, no need for a mass market line. Shame. It was a cute show. If we're expanding this to other toylines, I really hope that Hasbro surprises us with Avengers cartoon toys.

pawcanada Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I love that pic. I wish Jessica Drew wore that on a normal basis. As a fan of Scarlet Spider and Jessica Drew, I second this. And I'd personally love to see a boxset or wave based around these costumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 So what will be revealed at the show? The debut of the first stop-motion animated Minimates MAX movie at the Minimates Panel! http://www.toychestnews.com/default.asp?t=1&m=1&c=4&s=678&ai=110713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Sort of on topic; any plans for a meetup for the people going to SDCC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm hoping we'll get to see Storm from the upcoming MvC wave. Though I'll be disappointed if it's just a reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 She shouldn't be . . . her costume is pretty different to all of her previous minimate releases. Her GSXM gear was probably the clostest to her game costume - but i doubt they'd do a straight re-release of such an old figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Odds the Cap / Thor wave is actually real and not just a TRU thing - 35% Sorry as much as I'd like to see it, I think this is going to a lot like the FF TRU wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Prediction Hat: (my score at predicting upcoming Minimates over the last six years is -100% accuracy but I'm undaunted!)
