This here figure of Iron Man with removable armor was actually purchased about 4 months ago one day on my lunch at work and I have kept him in my drawer at work so I could play around with him during the many moments of boredom at work. Well my drawer is full of many other toys so I finally decided today to bring him home and let him join all my other Iron Mans on the shelf since he is not a duplicate toy (which is what everything else in my drawer at work is) So here is Iron Man with some removable parts. The chest plate can come off also but I for some reason cannot get it to pop off and so I just left it for this picture for fear of breaking something.
Then here is a Comic 2 pack of Dengar and Fenn Shysha. I had to get this set because despite the fact that I am unfamiliar with this particular comic story (I am sure I will remedy that at some point in the near future) this set has a Mandalorian (Fenn) in it so I had to snag it. Its sister set has Leia and another Mandalorian so I will be getting that set soon too.
I
love Mighty Muggs I think they are a great collectible, that said I normally would not have purcahsed this Galactus one but then I saw a picture on the minimate forum and knew that I had to have this one since the Maximate Galactus is something that I would never get.
This is what that picture I saw was like (only this is my version of it) I liked the movie Rise of the Silver Surfer in every way except how they protrayed Galactus as an intergalactic cloud. It would have been so much better to have him look just like his comic version and have a scene similar to this GO FF!
It has been a good couple of days as I have found several new SW figures from my list (which has toys on it that I know I have to get and I really only put ones on the list that I just gotta have and that way my list forces me to not just buy a bunch of toys that I haven't really thought about and decided that I want). First I found Jodo Kast who in some comic books went around impersonating Boba Fett (bad idea dude).
Then here we have a comic 2 pack from the Legacy series and it is two Imperial Knights, yep because way in the future the Empire has its own Jedi! This here is Antares Draco with the brown hair and Ganner Krieg with the red hair. I love their armor and all their lightsabers are clear.
Then from the Clone Wars we have Anakin's padawan Ahsoka Tano andshe came with a Rotta the Huttlet. This series starts on Fridya at CN so you all better be watching becasue it will be awesome! The previous two pictures you can see are opened figures and that is because they had to go on my characters with lightsabers shelf!
It is still amazing to me that we went to SDCC this year and I in all my minimate obsessiveness did not know about this here exclusive until I had come home. This is the exclusive red dress Six minimate (which is essence is just the body of the series one red dress Six with the head of the Pegasus six from the Razor box set). Anyhow I found a member on my forum BannersID and I traded him some Cylons and pieces of the ML BAF Galactus that I had and voila here she is (after three weeks of mail trouble to get her here) I couldn't bring myself to open here to she will remain MIB. No that is not Men In Black or Mint in Box it is Mint in Bag.
Here is the back of the bag with the SDCC symbol.
So this was another minimate trade with TITAN from the minimatemultiverse and I only got this one because it was a minimate I didn't have and TITAN wanted an extra I had so here we go. I told myself that I wouldn't collect Rocky minimates but I am glad I got this one because it is a good representation of that line of minimates (I will probably purchase the Rocky 3 set if it ever comes out because it has a bunch of cool ones in it) Anyhoo you can see his robe says Italian Stallion on it which is great. I guess with all my extra minimates I could trade and get all the Rocky minimates but for now this one will do.
I have been dying to get this wave since it was announced at the Toy Fair in February so to get my package full of minimates today was awesome. This wave of minimates (wave 21) will have to go on the top of my list as my favorite wave simply because it is all based from the Iron Man movie. So here we have the Mark 3 armor (which has a removable face plate so you can see Tony's face inside) and Pepper Potts.
Here we have Tony Stark and the Iron Monger.
Then here we have Jim Rhodes and the Tony Stark here is the captivity Tony but this minimate actually comes in the package in the Mark 1 armor but you can take him out and this is how he is and since I get two Mark 1s in this wave (because one comes with the variant) I will be displaying one of them like this here.
Then here we have the Mark 1 and the variant for this wave the Mark 2 which just looks amazing! This wave of minimates simply makes me jump for joy inside. What makes me even happier is the fact that Marvel minimates are not showing any sign of slowing down they have plenty of announced stuff to come out so keep it comin'!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then I had to get this movie based set of Platoon because these little soldier are just awesome. I actually ordered the set before renting and watching the movie and although the movie wasn't anything to get excited about it was ok and I still had to have this set here. The package doesn't specify which name goes to which guy but I do know that Pvt. Chris Taylor (which is Charlie Sheen) is second from the left. You also have Sgt. Bob Barnes which I think is Willem Dafoe (on the right) Sgt Elias Grodin (which I think is the guy third from the left) and then Pvt "Gator" Lerner (on the left) The great thing about these guys is that thier helmets go over their hairpiece where most minimates you have to take off the hair to put on any sort of hat or helmet so that was a good idea and the figures still look good.
Here is Marvel wave 22 from the movie the Incredible Hulk which was. . . .incredible when I compare what I expected the movie to be and what I felt after seeing it. It was a great movie so even thought I think this Hulk minimate looks a little lackluster they are new minimates so I am excited. This here is Bruce Banner and the Hulk.
Here we have a great Emil Blonsky with his night vision goggles and then you have what he becomes aka the Abomination wihich is a good looking minimates however the figures that are supposed to be bigger have this crazy duck feet on them that are kind of dumb but oh well they do give you normal feet in the package so you can replace them if you don't like them so I can't really complain!
Then here we have battle damaged Hulk Betty Ross and here father the variant from this wave General Ross.
Then here it is, I told you so. In the last post I told you I would be getting this set and here it is Leia and Tobbi Dala to go with the comic 2 pack of Dengar and Fenn Shysa. Had to get me the Mandalorian!
