Marvel Minimates Series 32 – Iron Man, Titanium Man, Cable, X-23, Yellowjacket, Goliath, and Kree Soldiers

I am in love with Art Asylum’s Marvel Minimates. Yes I am. I have always seen these guys in my local comic book shop and at Toys R Us, I always thought they looked interesting, but I never gave in to buying them. When I saw the Series 28 Deadpool, I was so impressed with the detail and the wealth of accessories that I decided to pick him up. Open the floodgates. I was an official Minimates collector. I know I’ll never be a completist with this line starting so late, but I do notice that Art Asylum has been updating some of the previous Marvel characters they have done before. So there’s still a chance to catch up on some characters that I’ve missed!

Today we’ll have a look at Series 32. If you’re a die-hard Minimates fan, you’ve probably picked these guys up already as they came out around January. For the curious, read on and see if Minimates are something you’d be into!

Series 32 includes four sets: Iron Man and Titanium Man, Cable and X-23, Yellowjacket and Kree Soldier, and the variant set of Goliath and Kree Soldier.

Marvel Select Spider-Man Packaged Pics

Even after reading the description I had a hard time discerning that the base for the upcoming Spider-Man figure is a smashed car.  Seems a little uninspired after seeing the Danger Room base for Cyclops.

Here it is in all it’s final production in package glory, Marvel Select Spider-Man! This figure features a highly detailed sculpt by the one and only Digger. It also features a crazy smashed compact car base. Look for it in comic stores near you soon!

Masters of the Universe Classics Update – 2/16 Sale Date, Wun-Dar, and Battle Cat

Alright – Mattel posted a big update on Facebook. I’ve summarized that here (with the full post following):

  • The February sales date is Tuesday, February 16, *not* February 15 as previously stated.
  • Wun-Dar and the Eternian Map will ship in April, not February.
  • Battle Cat will cost extra to ship, due to weight.
  • Club Eternia subscribers will receive an $8 off promo code for Battle Cat.

I hope there’s not going to be a lot of whining about the promo for Club Eternia members – it makes perfect sense to reward the customers who have committed to a full year of figures, without even knowing in advance what most of those figures would be.
