I believe the turnaround on things like this are about a year, so if it’s not happening now I think the ship has sailed, DST doesn’t always hit when the movie is in theaters but I think a gap this big would be even harder to overcome.

I'm just in disbelief that we won't be seeing anything for Far From Home. Of all the MCU movies to skip I just cannot wrap my head around it. I've collected all things MCU since the first Iron Man and while I love looking forward to and hunting new mates, the collection has been getting robust. This my be the impetus for me to drop Minimates. As sad as that is for me to think about. 

It won’t push me to drop Minimates, but I have a LOT of MCU ‘mates still in the package, and some waves I bought more to support the line than because I needed another Black Widow, if the MCU is going to start having gaps in it I’m not sure I need any of them. 

The Wasp and Ghost ‘mates were awesome, I’d have pitched a mighty fit without them. 

Then I find this whole thing even more strange, that movie is going to have tons of repeat characters with only an outfit change to set them apart from the last movie. 

It’ll never happen, but I’m going to throw out my All-Villain wave suggestion just for funsies.

First off I am a bit confused. Are we skipping End Game mates?!?

This is a really good question, like Spider-Man I just assumed these were a given but now I’m not so sure, what’s the status of Avengers End Game?

Wow, that's disappointing. As others have said, if DST is going to start skipping MCU movies then I have a lot less incentive to keep buying movie minimates. I've been losing enthusiasm for them anyway as I've found much of the product lately to be more miss than hit. Captain Marvel might be a good place to start.

One other thought: It's always dangerous to give your customers a jumping off point, they just might take it.

You pretty much read my mind. Part of the appeal of buying some movie waves was expanding the MCU group, even in cases where all that was really new was one or two characters or looks. I actually thought this would be a stronger MCU wave since there’s two Spider-Man suits, and at least 3 villains, possibly as many as 5 depending.

This is my biggest takeaway. After supporting the line for EVERY. SINGLE. MOVIE. I am definitely upset by this. Especially given that Spidey is my favorite. 

Same here, while sometimes the movie waves don’t offer a lot that’s really new, it is fun having all the movie characters together in a display, it’s very strange to me that this one is getting skipped.

I’m starting to think the Skrulls are only being set up in this one for future shenanigans, the way they’re being presented is just not logical if they’re supposed to be this big menace, unless they’re hiding a plot twist they seem to just be a plot point instead of a major antagonist.

i think we need to see the movie first as some people say that the skrull in the box set is the main baddie or that someone else may be the baddie.  but also remember Iron Man 2 and Wolverine 2 where the main bad guys at the end (Whiplash in armor and Silver Samurai) were not designed yet when the toys went into production and therefore just had to be left out........  Zach did mention a last minute design change on the Captain so maybe there were other late changes as well.

I’m only assuming because the Marvel Legends Figure has a different name and is played by a somewhat known actor, people may not recognize the name but he’s been in Dark Knight Rises and Rogue One so it seemed like he would have some significance, but I’ve been suspecting an Iron Man 3 style swerve with something based on the Yon Rogg/Mar Vell confusion, so maybe it’s intentional. 

I read the Marvel.com release, and it appears what we’ve seen is it. So I ask with no malice intended, how did the supposed main villain not make the cut? TRU casualty? 

I have no worries about the movie doing well, what I’m hearing is that the elementals are name Spider-Man characters, I don’t know if people consider who they are a spoiler, so I hope they get made, but I guess that depends on if they’re just stormcloud like all the time or if they take on a more human form at times.

Regardless, I was hoping for a more affordable way to army build Skrulls, and a two-pack would've helped with that...

What he said. 

So if this is it, isn’t the main Skrull Talos missing? I thought I read that the Skrull in the box set was named Nuro. 

So are these and the box set it? I’m a bit out of the loop as of late 

I hope there are going to be some more Skrulls somewhere, this Kree/Skrull war is very one-sided so far. 

 I don’t think mine differentiates between the animated and the cinematic waves, the live-action ‘mates are very minimal, but the animated are almost overflowing the shelf, so I don’t think they’re ever ordering new ones. 

I really encourage everyone not to panic and overpay, I’ve so far never had a Walgreens wave that I didn’t have a chance to get at retail. Some didn’t last terribly long, but they all turned up. And by the way, I live in VA, and I assure you we are not a priority area for you companies. 

Well done DST, these all look great. I felt like the first Ant-Man ‘mates were exceptional also, something about the designs just translate very well to the format. Very curious to see if the Redacted is a Holey Sheet or a Chitauri, but these three are excellent. 

While I understand someone has to get cut, I really wish the Outriders had found a spot, I feel like the new tooling would pay off due to the army building, as is I’ll just be giving the Chitauri to Thanos instead. I’m very glad the whole Black Order will be released.

For as much hate as I may get for this: I want the Clone Saga.

The Jackal, Kaine, Spidercide, Judas Traveller, Scrier, Grim Hunter, Seward Trainer. Then we could get an updated Ben Reilly as Spider-man, and include parts to turn him into Spider-Carnage.

Admit it, you know it would be awesome.

I was about to say the Clone Saga. It’s been so long, the damage isn’t there anymore, give me a proper Jackal, Kaine and they can populate the wave with whoever else. 

He’s more reliable than TRU’s own website. 

Facepalm. 

It seems like an obvious Yes, but considering the number of characters I don’t want to assume, will there be Outriders available to army build? 

The stores I went to that had these prior to the absolutely necessary street date still have never put them back out. They might have tried to return them, they all tried to tell me they were being recalled.
