Jack was a comic version. He was from a TRU wave.  

Oh yeah he came with Negative Zone Spidey. He just looked so...not comic like I looked at my shelf and assumed he was animated.

Sadly, we have scaled back to more affordable five-packs, sometimes with a microfigure (or goblin glider). But great ideas! Any New Avengers set would need to include Echo/Ronin.

How about an entire set of microfigures of Power Pack?
 

and I will buy any Avengers set with Echo in it.

Should this indicate that it isn't the Clone Saga? Because we certainly have seen several of the key players of that storyline. . .

Could it be "The Gathering" ? or "Planet of the Symbiotes" ?

I'd guess Identity Crisis as Jack O'Lantern is in that storyline and has only been done animated.

I believe a third set has been designed, not sure what the current prototype status is. 

Awesome! Thanks for the update, @DSTZach.

I agree with you, but I also totally understand Zach's point and if they can sell some extra sets and we get more AEW Minimates because of that, it will be a good thing.

Oh I understand it as well and if Flair gets more sets in my collection, I'll buy multiples of the man.

Anything planned for the 50th anniversary or is the line pretty much done?

Not going to lie, having a guy that's only been on AEW tv five times to sell Sting's retirement match, an energy drink and generic erection pills take a spot is a little disappointing. I know it's Flair and he's a legend just personally not a fan.  Danielson and Sting are the two of the set I definitely need.  Just hoping for someone like Swerve, Kingston, or Toni Storm.  Still a great set.

we need more women. 

I would love to see at least one female per every four pack. If we get Timeless Toni Storm she needs to be in black & white.

Looks like yes. I had hoped it would come off, because she does fight without it, but the design sheets say otherwise. Sorry.

That's why I was hoping it would come off. Still nice new piece to get. and thanks @DSTZach

I've just started buying Vinimates so I may track down the Zords. It will probably be easier than tracking down the Imaginext Zords

That hat is totally going to be one piece with the hair isn't it?

I'd buy anything Star Trek. Movies? Yep, TV shows? Yep. Just get me a complete Lower Decks set and I am there for all of it.

I believe the original estimate was the first week of November. However the set was not listed in the latest report from Diamond of toys "on the water" from the factory, so that means it is at least a month away. 

Thanks Luke.  

Any word on when the Technodrome is supposed to be coming out?

I’d love Vox Machina minimates. 🥰🥰🥰

I’d sell my children for Vox Machina minimates.

Only Tiger Force minimates, exclusive to Target.

I thought Amazon had some exclusives as well like the Snow Serpent and Cobra Eel.

It sucks that they've been difficult at approving rpg characters.  It's not like you guys are asking for Vox Machina or Critical Role.

I know I'm definitely in the minority here.  The tampos don't bother me because minimates still have way more detail than other block minifigures.  I don't mind the micro figure for animals or smaller characters. I always saw Spider-Ham being toddler size so a kid size mate, to me, would seem too big. If Porker, in various poses, made his way into every Marvel boxset I'd be happy every time.  I guess I'm just easy to please.

Loving the Spider-Ham.  I figure you can never have too many Spideys. 

Neca seems to just be redoing the original LJN line-up.   Grimsword(the guy wrapped in the snake) never appeared in the cartoon. Kelek(the sorcerer in red and black) Zarak( the little green guy), Strongheart (the Paladin with the stache) were in the cartoon. The Dwarf Elkhorn is suppose to be in it but I don't remember him ever actually showing up. I know some of them were put in the game or in books later on.  The only figures I had were Warduke, Grimsword and Strongheart.  I love the characters because I still play the game, but I was in fourth grade when the LJN toys came out.  I don't think they did as well because they were competing with GI Joe, MOTU, and Blackstar.

The characters in the set are not all generic civilians, but there is one civilian (with a cool new piece), one soldier, one cyborg and one robot. I think people will enjoy the designs and new parts even if they have no plans to see the movie. They won't be out until spring, most likely, so I'm sure you will be able to get them from Luke or elsewhere once you see the both films. 

I'm guessing the civilian is Sofia Boutella's character Kora, soldier would be Ed Skrein's Admiral Atticus Noble (unless it's Djimon Hounsou as General Titus, the cyborg will be Doona Bae's Nemesis, and robot Jimmy voice by Hopkins.

I believe, due to their success, we want to do more D&D MM. Both sets sold out. I do not know what the characters would be, though. I doubt we would do more animated, as we hit all the big characters. And the game is a tough one. But fingers crossed. 

The movie had a few interesting characters.  Personally, I'd like to see characters from the game or at least a few creatures like Beholders, Mindflayers, heck I'd even be willing to buy a gelatinous cube.  To be honest I wouldn't even mind if they were generic characters depicting various races/species and classes found in the game.

I see a lot of possibilities so hopefully the movies do well. I'm not really a fan of Snyder but I think it looks interesting and will watch it.  I generally buy anything Minimates, even stuff I don't care for like Transformers, so I'm good for at least two sets.  If I get Jena Malone's spider character or a Vinimate of the black Hieracosphinx out of it, I'll be happy.

I absolutely love these. The fact that Venger's legs come off Night-Mare makes this set a total win for me.

Two of the places I ordered from sent emails saying they got their shipment in.
