I have gotten several messages from people that missed out on The Wrecking Crew preorder before it sold out last night. I don't usually offer customs again in the future, as it is already difficult to fit these custom projects into my schedule, but for this set I will make an exception. If you would like to be added to the waitlist for this set in case I get more parts for it in the future, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/r1yAHUqKyMsvBQyM9

Thanks guys! Here is the preorder link along with information about Thunderball's parts: https://forms.gle/pagYZjb1NbnxpuGi7

More info and public preorder link coming tomorrow. 😊

My wife and I are about 30 hours into Zelda. It's the first time in like 2 years that we have used our Switch. But I am looking forward to Super Mario Wonder.

We got confirmation that the SDCC Transformers sets are arriving next Wednesday. Our shipment was allocated and we will receive 80% of what we ordered, so while we definitely have enough for all preorders, we only have 4 sets left. I was actually happy to see the allocation, because I think it means this set was a success, so hopefully that paves the way for future releases. Or else it just means that DST produced less of this set, but I try to stay positive. 😁

Copying my post here from a different thread: Interesting - that wasn't a great time period for memorable new Spidey villains, except ones we have already gotten, like Anti-Venom and Menace. That era had short-lived villains like Morlun, Shathra, and Shade. Some lasted a bit longer, like Ezekiel, but he is just dressed like a civilian. Maybe it's based on the excellent Spider-Man: Blue by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale? That series had Kraven, Rhino, Vulture, Lizard, and Green Goblin, although it feels like we already have great Minimate versions of all of those.

No worries here - I am a big fan of mom & pop vendors and comic shops carrying Minimates as it's good for the brand. 😊

True, but I was counting the animated ones for those 2. Although I would definitely prefer comic versions instead.

I would love to see Boomerang - for me he's the next biggest Spidey villain that we haven't gotten yet.

They will go up for preorder on August 6th. 😁 I haven't figured out the exact pricing yet, but this will obviously be a more expensive release, so I will include the option to pay half upfront and half when they are finished.

I did ask my Diamond rep about that possibility, and I wouldn't have the rights to offer a Kickstarter for a Minimate set since I do not hold the license for whichever line the Kickstarter would pertain to - Diamond Select Toys does.

We have tallied the votes, and here are the winners of our Anti-Hero Customizing Contest! First place goes to Catwoman by Vincent H, 2nd Place is King of the Fist Daredevil vs Fist of the Beast Punisher by Brian F, 3rd Place is Midnighter by Eric M, and our Random Winner is Deadpool Blue and Yellow Edition by Pablo O. Congratulations! I will be reaching out to the winners with their prizes. And thank you to everyone who entered and voted!

That would be amazing, but unfortunately the only way it would work for this line is if it were a 5-pack of foot soldiers, and 500 sets at that size is too big of a risk for us to take right now.

I'm pretty sure we've seen this image before, but just in case anyone hasn't, AEW Series 2 is up for preorder and here is the solicitation image:

🤣🤣🤣

I have decal templates here: https://lukestoystore.com/blogs/news/minimate-sticker-template

I bought the entire quantity from the seller that I purchased these from. I tried to get more from them, but they were unable to get any more. I still have 3 more to assemble for international customers, plus my own, and then I will see where I am at with the arm parts. I did factor in extras after I broke one piece in my test order, so I might have extra parts in the end.

Well shit I thought if I made it a bit vague, someone wouldn't guess it right away. 😂 There will be 2 ordering options - Wrecker by himself, or Wrecker, Bulldozer, and Piledriver, with stickers and some of the parts needed to make Thunderball (I don't have all of the parts for him).

Thank you! Here is the hint so everyone can weigh in: This villain first appeared in the late 60’s, and was joined by other team members in the mid 70’s.

Thanks guys! 😊 Here is the preorder link: https://forms.gle/PyoDLi66tqRJpdMW8

Fantastic! 😮

Porcupine Alex Gentry, the Porcupine, was one of the first Marvel silver age villains and most notably fought against Ant-Man and Captain America, but also faced the Avengers, the X-Men and the Defenders. He includes a smashed security monitor accessory. He is a slightly more limited edition than usual - I only have the parts to make 28 of him. The preorder link just got emailed to past subscribers, and I will post the public preorder link here on Wednesday morning. For those of you who preordered Doc Ock, he will be shipping out in 3 days.

The 2nd one seems a bit more suited to a Minimate head, but it does look a little blurry, or maybe that's just from posting it here? I think the likeness is really good.
