I actually really like the Gamerverse Iron Man. It's a great combo of sculpted pieces and paint applications. Movie Stealth Iron Man (TRU exclusive) and the one from the Modern Heroic Age box set are also high on the list.

Any idea when we can pre-order these? I am very much looking forward to them.

Unfortunately it says the Eaglemoss version is only 10 inches long, which, I believe, makes it shorter than the Minimate APC. I have seen a couple sweet LEGO MOC dropships that I have contemplated trying to recreate to see if I could make it compatible with MInimates AND the APC.

Stopped at a couple Walgreen's last night looking for discounted candy and found Minimates listed at "Clearance prices" of $5.99, but they rang up as being "sale" prices. A third I stopped at did not have anything listed on the tags.

See, I was thinking with Hasbro being the Master Toy Licensee (I think that is still the case) and with them working with DST on their intellectual properties, that they would see the potential in possibly allowing Star Wars Minimates. The fact that it is a different format from their Mission Fleet may allow for it to happen. Hopefully Hasbro, Disney and DST can play nice! (although it wouldn't be nice for my wallet charge card)

Hopefully not one that was on fire or dumped overboard....

I am absolutely loving Titans and even more, Doom Patrol on HBO Max. I would want to have seen a set (wave of 8 characters) from either of those: Titans: Nightwing, Starfire, Beastboy, Raven, Donna Troy, Deathstroke, Hawk and Dove (Bonus pack: Connor w/Krypto, Green Tiger Beast Boy, Robin and Red Hood) Doom Patrol: Crazy Jane (w/ alt looks), Robot Cliff, Larry Trainer (bandaged), Rita, Chief, Mister Nobody, Cyborg (Bonus pack: Negative Spirit, Dorothy, Candle Maker, Flex Mentallo) Although, Suicide Squad was great and I would have loved mates there as well. I got the Mystery Minis to fill my minifigure Suicide Squad hole, but a wave would have been great: King Shark (2.5 inch body), Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Polkadot Man, Ratcatcher II, Harley (either look would be great), Rick Flag, for the last slot Starro would be cool, although I would take Amanda Waller as well. Either way, pack in a few baby Starro facehugger-esque accessories

The cool thing with MMPR and Minimates is that a Minimate Mega Zord could just as easily go up against, say Goldar, as a MInimate Power Ranger. I'm hoping we see so many characters from this, but I would love to see sets like this going off the initial line-up. Set 2: Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, Goldar, Pudgy Pig Set 3: Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger (Trini and Aisha heads), Red Ranger, and White Ranger Set 4: Puddy Patrol x4 (crazy 88 style) Set 5: Mega Zord, Dragon Zord, Titanus, Mega Dragonzord

Sold! So much more excited for these than the other 2 Hasbro lines. What a great looking selection to kick off the line too. Kimberly was always my favorite.... ??

Seems like Zach is just avoiding saying the inevitable "Never say never" when it comes to the Walgreen's mates.

So, does this mean Walgreens is ending Minimates? They seem to be disappearing from shelves, as in, multiple pegs of mates that have been there for over a year are suddenly almost entirely gone....

I believe the switch on the code name and specialty is intentional, as is all things dst does. It appears that this is an homage to the original figure which also had those switched: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m10635108039/?gclsrc=aw.ds&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12877497088&utm_content=t0&adgroup=121903074456&network=g&device=c&merchant_id=374445878&product_id=m10635108039&product_id=696733476452&gclid=CjwKCAjwp_GJBhBmEiwALWBQkyhwvV166JrqXXgA_xBQ5qq0Cft5lpsEJvBrWGRdwVecp01m_yf4JRoCbQsQAvD_BwE

Didn't they close the 2 stores that they had opened in the US?

That is a solid custom! Great work!

I have one of those and they are incredible. That whole line would have done so well....

I do not have one of those red beauties and would love the chance at one, please.

I was on vacation the last 2 weeks and in that time I managed to hit almost 40 Walgreens stores. I(n all of those stores, I only) found (a total of) one each of the wave 12 packs, 3 of the Carter/Cap sets, 1 BP/Shuri, 4 Ock/Spider-girl. Did not find any Superior Spider/Peter sets from wave 11. Lots of F&WS sets, and older mates. Some stores only had 2 or 3 packs total, others had 2+ racks of mates. Walgreens is amazingly consistent at how inconsistent their stocking/distribution is.

Thanks Zach! Got mine yesterday.

I was not able to acquire one of those from my local comic shop back in the day. I would love one like a hole in my head!

I feel like the Joe line begs for a blind assortment or the old counter box displays (like terminator and BSG and IM2).

But the clues were one brand new character never mated (NTW), one redo, and 2 who have only ever before been comic forms. Laura has 3 (4?) comic mates.

Awesome! Very excited for these. The 2 sets together, however, do not (technically) match Zach's teases. Both Deadpool and Logan have had live-action Minimates. Hoping for more, but these are definite wins.

DST would probably give us this version, though: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429493/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

To be fair, I don’t think he was contracted for more appearances when they contacted him to do wandavision
