Sundays with my Son

            I really like this Hydra flame thrower trooper!  I would like to get some more Hydra Minimates to battle against Captain America and the Avengers Minimates too!

Day 526

Day 526 June 9^th

Marvel Minimates series 4:

Doctor Octopus

            This was a pretty good run at making the first Doc Ock Minimate.  For the time I felt that they did a really good job of it, especially how they did his tentacles!

Day 525

Day 525 June 8^th

Fun Photo Friday!

            Looking out over our hotel from 525 feet up in Calgary Tower!  We had some time to kill before opening day of the Calgary Comic Con and the tower was right across from our hotel.

Day 524

Day 524 June 7^th

Marvel Minimates series 4:

Masked Spider-Man

            The naming of this particular Minimate always makes me chuckle since Spider-Man generally always has a mask unless he is unmasked but they needed to point out the difference since his masked is rolled up over his mouth.  We see Spidey like this often in comics, since he is very guarded about his secret identity, so in scenes where he is eating or other such things he will roll up the bottom of his mask.  This Minimate also debuted the web grab line which is a great Spidey accessory and I am glad they have brought it back a couple times since this!

Day 523

Day 523 June 6^th

Marvel Minimates series 4:

Gwen Stacy

            I think that the timing behind me looking at this wave was rather fitting since a new version of Gwen Stacy is entering our collection via the Amazing Spider Man movie line.  I find this version looks not bad considering when it was produced.

Day 522

Day 522 June 5^th

Marvel Minimates series 4:

Unmasked Spider-Man

            I have always found the expression on Peter’s face to be almost too serious for Peter Parker.  I think that my favourite part of this Minimate is the web backpack, such a cool idea and true to the source material!

DST reveals SDCC exclusives!

Over on the Art Asylum blog DST has revealed the exclusives that they will be selling at their own booth at the San Diego Comic Con 2012.  There has been rampant speculation of what was going to be there and I have to say some of these are looking great!  There will also be minimates exclusives at the AFX booth but they have yet to be revealed

Day 521

Day 521 June 4^th

Marvel Minimates series 4:

Bullseye

            I totally dig the crazy looking face on this classic Bullseye and how well the eyes line up with the eye holes of the mask; that is not something I can recall noticing before doing the pictures for this day.

Day 520

Day 520 June 3^rd

Sundays with my Son

            I think that Iron Man should have had this gun in the Avengers movie!!

Day 519

Day 519 June 2^nd

Marvel Minimates series 4:

Unmasked Daredevil variant

            In all honesty this is probably one of my favourite unmasked minimates that they have made; just something about the hair/glasses piece that sits very well with me.

Day 518

Day 518 June 1^st

Fun Photo Friday!!!!

            A meeting of the masters of the mystic arts!
