I really just want a good Giant-Man figure at long fucking last.
I know what you mean.

Given the third feature film on the horizon in 2023, it wouldn't be a bad time to show Ant-Man et al some comic-based love.
-
... and many moooore! ?
-
Giant robots as Vinimates and their pilots as Minimates? What a great idea. ?
-
There are very few wrestlers I'd be interested in having Minimated. That would include Dwayne Johnson for a Black Adam custom and John Cena for a civilian Peacemaker QC. I might even get a Dave Bautista for Army of the Dead or Blade Runner 2049. And of course André the Giant just because.
-
Ghost Rider and five stands that look like flaming motorcycles.
-
... motorcycles, tigers...
-
The accessories might be the selling point for even non-fans.
-
I'm wondering if the (maybe) Vinimate ties into the Minimates.
-
I'm not sure how viable any of those are but if a SKU needed a Picard, I wouldn't mind adding one to my collection.
I purposely left out:
"Lessons" and "Attached" (Yes, this shows up twice in two different seasons!)
"Devil's Due" (Not sari I left it out.)
"Captain's Holiday" (Hey, if Wolverine can bare his chest...)
"Q'pid" (Although Picard with a Van Dyke might beg for a Mirror Universe QC.)
"Starship Mine" (The swashbuckling equestrian look could come with a space horse!)
But, yeah, Picard's had a few costume changes over the years, some more memorable than others. Playmates Toys managed to produce quite a few.
-
There are so many viable variants of main characters from which to choose. I'm sure listing 20 different Picard Minimates would be easy. Actually... here:
"Insurrection" ceremonial uniform
"Unification" (Romulan disguise)
That's 16. Help me out here! ??

I know DST is generally reluctant to reissue previous product but if there was a way to get these figures into a future box set, knowing there's demand in their key North American market, it seems like it'd be worth a discussion.

Separating the Logans and Deadpools from the remaining inventory and shipping them to a different warehouse on the other side of the country was not possible, unfortunately. Not at this price point.
Knowing that the price point was increasing to $8 per 'mate, I'd have been fine paying $16 for these particular 2-packs. I doubt anyone was expecting to find these at the Walgreens price.
As a privileged US collector, this is frustrating but I do appreciate your insights. Thanks, Zach.

As much as it pains me, I think this is where I get off the train… ?
I know the feeling. When it becomes more frustrating than fun, it's not a very satisfying hobby.
-
Seems like these should be available on DST's site. The fact that they're not leads me to believe someone's bonus check was tied to eliminating excess inventory by the end of 2021.
-
DST's new box sets might force them to do the kind of episode-specific sets that some of us have been asking for. A four- or six-pack could easily allow them to offer an entire bridge crew if they included alternate noggins, etc.
I can't believe I'm admitting this but if DST offered a TNG/DS9/VOY TV/film-era set that allowed me to create several different characters from the same set, I'd be spending at least $100 on those.
-
Playmates just revealed their first offerings for the rebooted Star Trek line.
No minifigures so I suppose DST still has that part of the license cornered.
-
I have to admit, if the packaging is as collector-friendly as I expect, it'll save this opener money on Plano™ boxes and Hefty™ bins.

Will DST still be counting these as "waves" or will we be abandoning that language now?
I was thinking the same thing. Time to move on, I believe. ☹️
-
I'm not familiar with the character but that's pretty impressive! I'm currently on the hunt for tentacles for a custom I'm trying to knock out. Been searching Michael's, JoAnn, and dollar stores for little plastic squids or octopuses. So far no luck but I'm tenacious.

I always call it a “semi-improvised stunt show”
Like that Indiana Jones show they have at Disney World but with more freedom to jazz it up between hitting the big beats.
As someone who's both partied with pro wrestlers and been a part of that stunt show, I can't disagree. ?
-
Wasn't the new license described as "scripted"? Wouldn't that rule out sports?
(And no, I don't consider pro wrestling a sport. Athletic, absolutely, but it's not a competition if the outcome is scripted.) -
I'm no pro wrestling fan but WWE could be huge.
I wouldn't mind Archer.

I'm thinking of venerable mainstays. Doctor Who, anyone?
