We've hired product development types in the not-so-recent past, but I'm not sure if they're still hiring. If you're interested in contributing in a freelance capacity, you should reach out!
It's worth a try. I've already dealt with most of the same licensors and I do enjoy working from home. 🤓

I wish your subconscious would get a job at DST! 😂
From your keyboard to God's inbox! But I doubt they have an opening for a product developer with over 25 years of designing licensed consumer products specializing in the kids market.

That would have been more tempting four years ago. It's a MUCH better price. I can imagine someone buying an extra one to customize somehow.
Speaking of imagination, I had a dream I found a new Star Trek SKU at retail. It was yet another offering of the original series characters in a hexagonal package. The cool part was that the package looked like the transporter pad (including the accompanying stands) and the figures appeared to be energizing except for Scotty, who was in the middle at a cardboard control panel.

Another good box set of a team (of sorts) would be the crew of Star Trek Enterprise: Trip Tucker, Hoshi Sato, T'Pol, Travis Mayweather, Malcom Reed and Phlox. We already got Archer in the Legacy line and so this box set would finish off the team. Could even include the extra parts to make all of them in EV suits from the series as all of them were at one time in an EV suit. And a bonus would be Porthos as a mini figure. This would be easy as most of the crew use the same uniform just different piping for their division. T'Pol could actually use a design form several other past figures, since she wore basic body suits, the white one could be a recycle of Emma Frost.
Another box set idea would be to finish off the Star Trek The Next Generation Crew: William Riker, Deanna Troi, Geordi LaForge, Worf, Guinan, and Data. We already have Captain Picard. This set could have the parts to make the Series Uniform and the Movie Uniform from First Contact and Nemesis. Also could include the parts to allow Troi to be made in a dress as she wore in the few few seasons of the show. Maybe a head swap to allow Troi to be Crusher or Pulaski. Maybe the parts to swap Data for Barclay or O'Brien.
Same would be true for Deep Space Nine as well. We already have Sisko. So a box set would have Kira, Jadzia/Ezri Dax (via head swap maybe extra shorter arms and legs since Ezri was shorter than Jadzia), Bashir, Quark, O'Brien, and Odo. If you do a box set for TNG and include O'Brien, then you could swap him for Kai Winn or Kai Opaka or even Morn.
Then we have Janeway and Seven of Nine from Voyager, so a box set would finish off that crew as well. Chakotay, Tom Paris, Harry Kim, Tuvok, Neelix and B'Elana Torres. Could include parts to swap and use Torres' body to make a Seska, and then parts to make Torres, Chakotay and Tuvok as members of the Maquis. and a rubber salamander to show the mutated futuristic version of Tom Paris.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Pike, Chang-Riley, Sam Kirk, Hemmer, M'Benga and Noonien-Sighn. That would be a good start to getting the new series launched in the Minimate Universe. The for Discovery: Burnham, Saru, Stamets, Detmer, Tilly and Linus. Need more aliens in the Star Trek Minimate Universe. Then could include parts to make other crew members of Discovery maybe or to make variations of the included characters.
Having the extra parts or such would encourage the collectors and customizers to purchase multiple sets and thus help both Diamond Select and the Minimates realm of collectors. All in My Humble Opinion.
That would get my attention. 🖖🤓👍

They already offered Nurse Chapel. Or are you referring to T'Pring? 🖖🤓

Why do all of the VHS versions look consistently larger than the Series 1 versions?

Is anyone else disappointed by Pizza Dog's non-Minimate aesthetic? I mean, the precedent was set. (Hail Ivan!)

Ask DST! (Are there any She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Minimates on the horizon? There's your answer.)

I don't have a lot of nice things to say about GameStop these days so I'm more Team DST than usual on this issue.

Add me, please. Thanks for the chance, Zach! 🤓👍

I think that’s the pinmates one I have. It’s pretty good.
That's definitely the AMT model kit. The Pin Mate set has less detail.
Either way, it looks like either would work well! -

unless its something like a Larry Hama minimate, which would be pretty cool too!
That's the only one that leapt to my mind.

And a diorama?! What is this license??
I doubt the diorama is for Minimates (though that would be cool).
-
Considering "minimates" would bring up personal massagers on the Walgreens site, I imagine a Google search of "minimates man-thing" could be pretty interesting.
Unless someone here can help a newbie out I'd recommend keeping an eye on Luke's Toy Store. He gets some loose figures in every once in awhile.

If it's a set of 'mates from the 1990 movie, I might be back.

Alternate heads will only encourage collectors to buy more than one set. I don't see how DST could come to this decision. It just makes too much sense.

Shamless self promotion
See? That would have made me happy. Great job. ?

Classic characters aside, I'd have been happy if I could have gotten an X-23 to finish the All-New X-Men.

Maybe it's Roblox.

Yeah, I heard these are worse than early C3 sets. At least those were scaled for Minimates.
Has anyone tried seeing how Minimates scale with Hasbro's 3 3/4" vehicles? I know my Halo Minimates look pretty dang sweet inside most Star Wars vehicles since they're generally so underscaled. -

Shouldn't that be PL's line?
I wouldn't get my hopes up about tigers with this brand. Especially if they ride motorcycles.

He's ridiculously talented as an engineer and an artist. Truly jaw-dropping, inspired work.
