Well at least he's not doing the crowdfunding thing anymore. That was just stupid.

That was done to "raise awareness".

New Terminator waves would be awesome. I know KH means Kingdom Hearts, but what is IF2? 

Nobody has figured out what IF2 is.  Is it possible that it was a typo?

Not just that. I can't figure out what ryhmes with what you said.

They're all older properties.  Apparently one is coming back and a few people on here were told what it was.  We know it's not Meat Lighter.

Zach mentioned it to a couple board members after the show, but not something that he wanted widely revealed.

Does it happen to rhyme with Meat Lighter?

Cereal mates are not the returning license. Zach wasn’t sure, but hopeful, that Minimates would be included with the return of said license. 

Was the returning license announced there or we still have no idea what it is?

Panel recap?

So...still no news from C2E2?

Godzilla has been discussed. Only licensing changes affected our previous deal. We actually may see a couple of old MM properties come back, but we'll see.

Street Fighter por favor.  Hopefully the third time would be the charm for Blanka, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Vega and Balrog.

80's TMNT back from the dead would be nice too!

What if...Walgreens started getting the stuff originally meant to be TRU exclusives?  I would be very ok with that.

I was able to place one last order before they closed.  Normally the turnaround from placing an order to receiving the shipping confirmation is pretty quick but this last took almost two weeks.  I thought for sure it was going to get cancelled eventually but everything has been shipped.

It's really sad to see this all play out.  I'm going to miss my TRU

My point was that despite the character repetition and clear mass media tie-ins, this series was clearly designed for comic fans, albeit current ones, and I just assumed that would appeal to most Marvel Minimates fans, I.e. you guys.

I am a current comic fan and collect mostly Marvel Minimates but I just don't feel like these need to be in my collection.  Out of wave 74 and 75, the only two that I really wanted were the Spencer Captain America and Spider-Girl.  The other ones look great (except for maybe Moon Knight) though.

For me, this is one of those waves where I just don't like the characters or the costume designs enough to get excited about it. The figures are all obviously well executed, but I can't see buying most of this wave. I say this knowing I will probably throw a set or two in my cart the next time Luke updates the loose figures.

I'm not sure it's obvious these are all well executed. Moon Knight in particular seems mediocre at best and some of the others really need to be in hand to know for sure.

I haven't seen these in person yet but I thought they looked cool from the pictures that I have seen so far.  With that said though, I feel like I don't need any of them in my collection.

zombie bass player/zombie accordianist (plastic packaging has been stapled to card -- clearly somebody was trying to steal)

All of those sets were falling off the card from the beginning. I was there when they put them out.

Yeah, A LOT of those packages have plastic bubbles that just completely fall right off the package.  I've seen it with NBX, Predator, Alien, Beetlejuice and Watchmen so far.

I can't blame retailers, especially the comic shops.

Sure, if a place like BestBuy had shown interest and passed at the last minute I'd understand the disappointment but selling an dated cartoon property to comic shops doesn't seem like a great fit. Had the 'mates been based on current comics, maybe they'd have taken the chance.

No, the folks to blame are those who wanted these figures but didn't preorder them.

I don't know...I see an awful lot of Retro 80's TMNT merch around still.  Even the kid's clothing section at most stores has the older versions.  I feel like these would have definitely sold had they gone through with them.  

And how many more sets would have been accounted for had the people on here that wanted them preordered them?  100ish maybe?  I don't think it would have made a difference anyways.

I wonder if Minimates menagrie will sell the build-a-figures loose and built lol... 

Of course, he will!

I just ordered from him last night. He had an older figure I needed for a custom and Luke didn't have him, so...

You could ask on here or ask in the two Facebook Minimates groups.  I'm sure someone could've helped you out.

Wow!  I guess I am not going to be buying those Sonic Minimates after all!  What the hell happened?  I was scrolling through the DST pics and I didn't even realize these were the Minimates at first.  This is the first time where I feel like the Minimate body just did not translate at all to a property.  Yikes!

They all look cool but I feel like I don't need any of them.

Now that's another awesome wave!  I am really liking that Black Cat and Doppelganger!

Who is the character in the middle of the display?

Found this over in one of the FB groups:

I am REALLY liking this wave so far!

That's awesome!!!!!

I would pick up a basic Sonic but that's about it (unless there are some crazy accessories that I'm unable to think of at the moment).

Hopefully this will bring even more Minimates fans into the fold though.

I agree with Yellow Daredevil and red/yellow Spider-Woman.  I would also add Abomination, Astonishing X-Men Beast & Cyclops.

I'd still like to see a prefect Classic Punisher and Classic Thor.

I'm usually not one for saying, "Hey, stay on topic" because I happen to think divergent discussion is what forums are made for, and I hate when people act like extraneous posts are going to use up all our internet or something...

But that said...

There sure is a hell of a lot of Specialty Wave 75 discussion going on in this TRU Wave 25 thread.

Haha, can a mod just move all of the 75 posts to the 75 thread?  

Maybe symbiotes are not quite as "family unfriendly" as zombies?

I feel like Venom has been all over the places the last few years.  There have been quite a few different versions.
