Why doesn't someone tell me that I am repeating myself ? Why doesn't someone tell me.............. Much of what is being said about GIJoe retreads could be applied to several other Minimate licences. The classic example would be Star Trek Minimates . I know for sure that I am repeating myself but the first two waves incorporated 13 'mates which were identical from the waist whilst several were duplicated from the waist up ! The line eventually 'opened out' & maybe the Joe line will?

Everybody .....clap .

Thank you Zach , I wasn't absolutely sure . So ,now I'm sure , it would be nice to have a couple of 'neutrals' when the std. Minimate is dynamic.

Are we actually getting 5 or 6 (complete) Minimates ?

I'm pretty grounded but I squealed out loud when I saw Invincible minimates in the background of that 'Walking Dead' episode

As always, I have to stress that I don't fit into many if any Minimate demographic ....I also respect your opinion & I agree that Sonic & KH ended very abruptly . I'm not big into Sonic but I was also surprised that we never got at least another box-set, not my 'stuff' but they worked as Minimates, I liked them. Kingdom Hearts Minimates ? I have to be honest ,I just don't think they worked on any level . Sorry! Regards the 'fizzling' I can categorically state that many of the 'fizzled licence' Minimates have become outrageously expensive on the secondary market , Invincibles, Mass Effect & Plants & Zombies (maybe?) immediately come to mind. Unfortunately 'Kingdom Hearts' aren't in that group I haven't mentioned GI Joe , I really hope that the license can get into a bit of a stride . I'll leave it at that.

My opinion would be that we are unlikely see further MCU Minimates It's all history now but the final WG wave which was dumped outside of the US more or less said everything.

No wonder I couldn't figure that 'head' ....it's an alternative head I must have trawled my mind & the MMDB several times ....it's perfect .

Last blow-out was 2014 ....ages ago ! The Bat Cave BTW never really got the praise it deserved , it is a tad 'nervous' but I used to love mine......when I had room I hadn't realised that Box/Vindicator set was so rare! .

My Minimate grails are limited to what new stuff Luke sends me next That said I am always intrigued by other members' minimate Grails .

Words, occasionally, fail me ....brilliant stuff & so accomplished It's difficult to pick my favourite but Manhunter it is ..wow! What's the donor head please?

Clever stuff ..I get it

No argument from me, your post is spot on ......although... ...IMHO the 15 year old GG* (Bring on TBG) is perfection & it is the only true comic version out of the 9 GG we have gotten (Himmel ) . The other versions look archaic or straight from a Walgreens wave. * which was also included in TRU Wave 2 . TRU wave 2 had 10 characters which included (to date) my favourite Green Goblin, one of my favourite Spider-Mans , my favourite Magneto, my favourite Doctor Doom, my favourite Punisher ,my favourite coloured Hulk , perhaps my favourite Wolverine , my favourite Wonder Man & ....cor blimey mate ...Union Jack TRU Wave 2 ....that wasn't a wave it was a Tsunami .....wonderful.

"Solely available from ToesRUs.com ....Shinister Socks ,your favourite Shoe-per-heroes " I'm wandering whether Bigbadtoestore & Lukes Toe store will be stocking them? .....or Entoetainment Earth . -bigtoenailsmate Please help me .....

I would need friends first.

A Beetle would be soooooo welcome. 'Toy friends' ? You have toys of your friends ??

Lockjaw as a pack in figure? I wouldn't mind a set of Inhumans but it needs to be said that the animated Medusa was superb & very un-animated looking & inexpensively plentiful on eBay . The same 2-pack had a rather dull (lazy design -sorry ) Black Bolt ...but he's OK . What I'm saying is ....I'm not sure an Inhumans set is timely?

The 'mismatched assortments of random characters' between LCS , TRU Waves & box-sets was contrived & a deliberate marketing decision by DST to encourage collectors to buy from differing sources .

Re : Alpha Flight #1 & #2 .......I bought many ....many more when they were discounted ......I wish I hadn't

I understand the need for a Spider-Man in a SM box set packed with SM villains , I rather think we all do I would however have to say that now that we are coming towards our 100th. Spider-Man there are an awful lot of not-so -good versions . Of course there are some superb versions but from a completist's viewpoint not enough . In a nutshell if Spider-Man is essential then let's have a beauty rather than a beast . Regards the 'Deadly Foes' set , I bought many & I wish I'd bought more

At my age it's OK to get confused ....so I always confuse the Serpent Society with the Sons of the Serpent . So ,first of all, I'd love a Serpent Society character or box set I'd also love a Sons of the Serpent army builder box set but it aint going to happen . Avengers #32 (1966) was fresh off the stands when I read it ,one of the first Marvel comics I had ever seen or read . Don Heck's artwork just sucked you in & this was dark stuff .....these were the KKK in different hats.

I actually love the version of Electro that I (we?) have . 15 years later & I'd welcome a new one & would hope that Electro's mask could be revised , the W30 version is far too bulky IMHO.

The Kamala Khan character is amongst many recent Marvel characters that have generally passed beneath my radar, I was aware of her existence mainly because of the original news-hype around her ethnicity . My knowledge of her was limited but I have now brought myself a bit more up to speed. That said I was well-aware of the Walgreen Minimate ( packed with Kang only our second Kang !! ) . Minimate 'hands' are a necessary evil , I accept that, but her big hideous minimate 'hand' is, IMHO, ludicrous . WTF ?
