There's no date on these yet.

I saw your post, but it didn't have a date.

[Sypes]

Since they seem to come in box of 4 figures, which next 4 would you like to see? Box, Vindicator, Talisman & Diamond Lil for me...

[Le Messor]

A villains box could be cool - Master, Jaxom, Pearl, Lily. (The GBs are all either too big or too obscure, methinks.)

I just bought all ten Minimates Alpha Flight figures from Ebay. arriving in the mail on Wednesday. I cant wait.

[Le Messor]

Congrats! They're really cool.

[Tawmis]

I have to get these. Ironically I was cleaning, and I found my Alpha Flight collection of - not even sure what they're called - they look like Weeble Woobles.

[Le Messor]

What's a Weeble Wooble? Because the minimates are the only official Alpha Flight toys I know of that look as cute as they sound, so it sounds like you've already got them; but there are pictures at the beginning of this page, so you should know if you have them, so now I'm worried I'm missing something!

[Phil]

Ahh, the Alpha Flight Beanz?

[DIGGER]

They are mighty beanz. As for weeble wobbles, they were around in the '70's-'80's (and as with all things made a bit of a comeback about 5 or so years ago). Their catch phrase was "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down ( due to the fact they were egg shaped and bottom weighted.

[Le Messor]

Those are pretty cute. There are Alpha Flight ones? Who? Northstar and Aurora, I'm guessing. Maybe Sasquatch; Guardian. Puck?
I didn't see any on the ToyWiz page.

Yeah, there were AF ones in Series 2 from 2004(?). They never made it to this side of the world so I never got any (I'd imagine the same stands for Aus) and whenever I see them on eBay the postage is huge for some reason...

The link was just the first one I could find on my phone to check they were what Tawmis meant.

There's a checklist here (http://therumorbuster.com/wiki/index.php?title=Marvel_Mighty_Beanz) but I can't find any images currently, without trawling through ebay.

EDIT: It's a slow morning:

3393 3394 3396 3395 3397

[Le Messor]

I like 'em! Why didn't I know about them before?

That's the one!

Yes, I will take a photo tonight when I get home from work. Can't recall if I have all of the Alpha Flight ones, but I believe I do.

I'll put them in a new thread when I do, so I don't side track this one more than I have (and maybe a moderator can split these posts into that thread when I do).

I need to get these mini figs that this thread mentions, however. Those I don't have.

[darkeyes]

Hi everyone, I never heard of these Beanz before until seeing this post, but they are all over eBay. I was actually able to buy the 5 AF characters for under $20 shipped from whosdamaster on eBay if anyone was interested. His prices are pretty good and he combined shipping. Anyway, something new for the AF collection.

[Le Messor]

Thanks, DarkEyes. Good to know.
Hmm... Is that the same person Phil got some of his pics from?

Yeah, same eBay dealer.
