FF Minimates Box Set - A SDCC 2011/Disney Store Exclusive?!?

San Diego Comic-Con 2011/Disney Store Exclusive FF Minimates Box Set - Future Foundation Members Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, Spider-Man & Invisible Woman

This might be the biggest stretch of a “Comic-Con Exclusive” The Blot has ever seen! Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum are releasing a quasi-San Diego Comic Con 2011 Exclusive, which is really just a Disney Store Exclusive, Fantastic Four Minimates 4 figure set based on the new FF series by Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting. After the death of Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four #587, the Fantastic Four disbanded, founded the Future Foundation and added Spider-Man to its ranks (is there any Marvel book team without Spider-Man and/or Wolverine as a member these days?).

Seen here in their new Future Foundation uniforms, the FF Minimates box set will debut “during” San Diego Comic-Con at the local Disney Store location. What a crock! How did Disney & Marvel even manage to get the SDCC logo on the packaging? The only really cool thing about this set of 2” Marvel Minimates is that they are the first Future Foundation figures ever released! According to MTV Geek, this Disney Store Exclusive featuring Mister Fantastic, Spider-Man, Thing and the Invisible Woman will make its debut the week of San Diego Comic-Con at the chain's Fashion Valley Mall location, and will ship to Disney Stores nationwide after that.
