My store said today was the last day for them. Cleared them out of the last 10 packs or so of Minimates, mostly Dark Tower. Heard a few older women talking about how they could scoop up some of the stuff still available and sell them for a profit online. The inventory was a shell of its old self, only the rack where you'd find impulse buys was half-full. The rest of the store was blockaded in caution tape, employees taking down the shelving units to get shipped off or sold. Only recognized a few of the faces there, most of the regular staff's been replaced with temporary workers by now. That Toys R Us was the hot spot for a few good years. Whether I was on the hunt for a new set, or I was down and just needed a pick-me-up, my Toys R Us was always there for a weekly visit. Thanks foR the memories, I'll miss you.

"A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream..." It's Kingdom Hearts series 1's Sora and Donald!

DST did a really good job translating the KH2 version of the Light Cycle. Does he truly not come with any accessories? At least having a neon-colored Kingdom Key would go a long way, since any Keyblade equipped while in that world changes color to match the aesthetic. Sora looks good, though. Still blown away that the first wave really drops in a week. I've been dying to have these in my hands for a year now. Any update on if the TRU set found a home?

Invader Zim Vinimates are available now at Hot Topic: https://www.hottopic.com/product/invader-zim-vinimates-gir-vinyl-figure/11313269.html#q=invader%2Bzim&start=2 @@DSTZach, we hadn't heard about this before, I don't think. Are we going to be seeing more Nick cartoons?

That mjolnir display is one of the coolest accessories packaged with a Thor. Too bad the figures aren't the best. Great review!

To kick off a week-long special of MCU reviews, let's roll back the clock with Mark IV Iron Man and Battle-Damaged Whiplash!

I asked Zach on Twitter the other day, the response was "in the next month or so." So May, maybe early June it would seem.

Picked up two Nibors and wave 2 (Supes, WW, Joker) at my Toys R Us today. I didn't know that wave would even be shipping out to TRU

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare Infinity War!...Box set!

A crossover of epic proportions, it's series one of the Kingdom Hearts Vinimates!

I think I get it. DST would have to get the license for each of those individual Disney properties if they wanted to produce stuff for them, which would probably be a hefty undertaking. The Timeless River packs are a way of having classic versions of a few characters. I am curious as to why Tron is good to go. Maybe DST had to pay for them, or maybe Disney let them have access to one movie at the start. I won't complain, Space Paranoids is the best world in KH2 by far. Do we have a release ETA on these yet?

From The Fanboy Factor. Timeless River Sora and Goofy, guess these were shown behind-the-scenes. Also wow, that select Sora looks spot-on!

From ToyChestnews, DST is apparently producing a line of John Wick Minimates. Nothing shown:

I like 'em. I think my biggest problem is that Sonic's head specifically is obviously a Minimate cylinder that sort of has his quills tackled on. The rest of them have heads that seem to mesh the Minimate form well, especially Tails and Amy. I'm not a fan of the arms-as-legs design as a rule of thumb (But I get why they did it), so that would have to be my only real complaint. I can't wait to see where these go!

Looks like this is our series 2? While I think what we have looks great, and I can't wait to army build the Heartless, I'm a bit worried. Only 1 new character? Was really hoping to see Riku and some more original KH characters on the roster. Maybe series 3 will deliver some more heavy hitters. That Light Cycle is absolutely to die for, though, I hope Sora has the Keyblade from Space Paranoids with him!
