Voting for the 2012 TRU fan poll boxset began May of last year. It's now July and still no word on this year's boxset. Is this still happening?

Yes, please post UPCs and item numbers

Packaged pics are finally up at AA http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2010/11/and-...ates-series-37/ Don't know if they'll be out in time for Christmas, maybe if everyone has been good boys and girls this year...

And its official HALO Minimates! http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/article.asp?ai=91806

TNI has posted a pic of the 2nd wave http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=168&itemid=14486 Though I have to wonder why there are two extra mates displayed that aren't part of the lineup?

http://shopafx.typepad.com/ For those who thought it was Thunderbolts, you're right. Obvious really. Norman Osborn was the surprise fourth no one could place.

http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cg...le=764&nl=1 They give two examples that aren't necessarily going to be made, but it opens up a lot of possibilities. Can't wait to see what other moviemates are planned. Oh, and the Godfather mates will be released as boxsets.

First off, thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. Its really appreciated. 1) Have you guys looked into Resident Evil? Its a successful game series with a highly anticipated new game in the works and thanks to the movies (with rumor of another one coming) its pretty well known in the mainstream; and personally I would love minimates based off it. Please? 2) How about the Universal Monsters? Well-known, iconic, and, for the most part, simple. They would also be great. 3) With DC Direct quiting on DC Minimates, is there a way for you guys to get the rights for the DC movies? I figure they might be easier and cheaper than the whole DC Comics liscense, plus a number of characters are represented, such as Superman, Batman, Swamp Thing and Watchmen. 4) Any chance of seeing Planet of the Apes minimates? Does there seem to be enough interest in the retro figures to warrant them? Another classic movie that I would love to see minimated. 5) Oh and I'll show my support for Princess Bride minimates too.

Why do people presume to speak for others? Because I definitely want more zombies than that; Firelord, Gladiator, Phoenix, old man Black Panther, Wasp in robotic body, Hawkeye (good excuse to reuse all those new molded pieces), new Wolverine (as seen in MZ2), plus with MZ3 coming out, there's bound to be more. Oh yeah, I defitnitely want more zombies.

They've been posted on DST's site under the news section. Go check them out.

Maybe we can get Xybot from Stuckakid and Joel from BBTS, as well as any other online stores, to do the same?

Does this mean that they will first be available for preorder at NYCC, then put on the website to preorder like the Defenders boxset? (first preorders taken at SDCC, then put up on AFX in August to be released in November) Or will they be available for purchase at NYCC and then put up for purchase at the website? Meaning they will be released in April instead of put up to order in April and released later? Inquiring minds need to know!

Hey guys, DST has posted a preview of the Fistful of Dollars boxset. Go to their website and check under product debuts to check it out. Looking great as usual!

I'm defitnitely in, I love Street Fighter, but wouldn't it be better to try and convince an online store like AFX to try and pick these up as an exclusive? I'm pretty sure they have more clout (and money) then us.

hey guys, check out DST's site for an image of the 2-pack; its Jack and Stephen Saunders. Looks like another great set that will be coming out in the past no less!!
