Probably canceling my network subscription this month, unless something really compelling comes out of the next two weeks.  I'll just reactivate it for WrestleMania season next year starting with the Rumble.  Not mad, just not worth it for me during these months.

After catching the end of Predator, I kind of want a General Phillips just so we have every one of the named cast!

I don't see a lot of Seth Rogan-brand humor in the Preacher TV show, so I'm not worried about the vibe here just based on his name being attached.  As always, fingers crossed, but not holding my breath!

Also, did get the Skybound Shop exclusive Invincible figure, didn't care for it.  Too small for my collection and seems brittle.

Ignoring all other clues to make a bad guy joke...  Spider-Man, Wolverine, Razor Ramon and Scott Hall!

All kinds of good stuff in there!

I found the wave in Racine, WI last night.  Hulk has a pretty strong glow in the dark feature, looks really good!

Only found 1 set at 1 of the stores I visited.  I'll take a run in a few weeks and see if I can find more.

And the 27th anniversary of New Warriors number 1... and 27+15 = 42, which is the answer to the Ultimate Question.  And DST has made Minimates for the Ultimates and the Question, so therefore New Warriors!

I'll shut up now.  For a little while.

I'll bet you a Coke it's not the New Warriors.

I'll take that bet!  I don't think it will be, but if it was...  I'd be thrilled for a New Warriors set, AND I GET A COKE!  I wouldn't bet any more than that though.

Your guess makes more sense though.

"Box Set is one new classic character, two never-made classic costumes and one requested update, I think. Title-specific."

Night Thrasher.  Nova.  Speedball.  Firestar.  Made it work for New Warriors! 

In my dream, box set 2 would have the rest of the team.  Marvel Boy, Namorita, Silhouette and Rage.  Plus a Darkhawk/Sleepwalker two pack.  Sleepwalker wasn't in the New Warriors, but I want a pack with him and Darkhawk. 

My preferred costume choice is all over the place for the Warriors though (I want the later Nova, later Rage, earlier Marvel Boy (multiple head/cowl styles) Namorita with short and long hair), so even in my head it all falls apart.

I'll be around all day Saturday, my daughter really enjoyed the cosplay competition last year so we are doing that again.

I won't be able to make the sticker kit without seeing the movie first. There is definitely not enough material in the trailers. The sticker kits will ship later. And if you only buy one set now, and decide you like the sticker kit later, you can always buy that 2nd set later to get the kit.

I don't have a master list, but Korath will be included in this kit.

Good news all around!

Haven't seen them (between 12 stores) in the southeast Wisconsin area.

Panda Khan formed a near unbeatable tag team with Usagi Yojimbo back in my youth.  Panda was the brute strength, Usagi the high flyer.  The Flying Frogs could never dethrone them.

And in those days, I'd buy a new G.I. Joe vehicle just to get the new year catalog and see what was coming!

I still want Afterlife with Archie more, but would definitely settle for Riverdale!

I only put spoiler for PotC and Dark Tower because thought people might want to click on the link and see before they read it.  Now that the news is out, it's not any sort of a spoiler.

Here are this months new listings straight from Diamond...  https://previewsworld.com/Catalog?pub=DIAMOND SELECT TOYS LLC

And, the two new licenses are...

My current Marvel are basically characters I fell in love with in the 90s, not following much new anymore.

Spider-Man 2099.  A small pile of Deadpool books monthly, I still find them fun.  Possibly dipping my toe back in with Nova, but the art isn't the style that I like.  Try to avoid getting sucked in to the main marvel universe, have done that plenty in the past.

Fun with Kraangs.  The MegaBloks Krang's Rampage is on clearance for $21 at Toysrus.  Minimates don't fit snugly in the abdomen, need to give it a little filler to keep it in, but works well enough for display.

MCU Crossbones.

My odd personal list, no picture.

1 - Cassie Hack - No surprise here, I wanted this one for a long time!
2 - Wrestler Zombie - Legion of Doom/Road Warrior shoulder pads, a Minimate Championship title. Almost took the top spot!
3 - Spyrnus - Didn't realize that was his name until now. He's LandShark to me. He's a freakin shark, that's why he's on the list!
4 - Ninjak - Ninja. Spy. Valiant character.
5- Blaine (Predator) - Ain't got time to bleed or to explain why he's on the list.
6 - Bob Agent of Hydra - Great year for Deadpool Minimates, and Bob was the most needed of the bunch.
7 - Dark Horizons Raphael - Visual striking figure, and reminds me of Raph's old Archie outfit.
8 - Crossbones - Always a fan of black and white characters.
9 - Squirrel Girl - Fun character and Minimate SQUIRRELS!
10 - Brodie (Mallrats) - Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?

Castlevania is in the news recently, possibly some animated series developments and hints. 

Don't know enough about the franchise to think about Minimates, but it is long running franchise with no new games.

I didn't know about the masked Predator either, grabbed one off eBay!

These have hit clearance at at Toys r us, 4.98 in store and online.  I've seen  X-Files, Ghostbusters and Aliens in stores.  Dutch from Predator shows out of stock online, but I haven't seen either him or Predator in stores.

I did pick up the gamestop exclusive Alien the other day.

I checked with my local TRU manager and it doesn't look like the JJ set is in the distribution center at all, at least for the Midwest. The DD set only appears to be in Green Bay, Rockford and Gurnee, no other Wisconsin stores and not available online.

At least the manager said he would see if the Gurnee manager would bring a set up with him this week for me to purchase! Top notch customer service at TRU 6033!

I ended up making the short trip down to Gurnee earlier this month when they had the 30% off marvel sale.  Minimates and White Castle!   Had to get the JJ set on toys r us' website when they had a free shipping deal.

in other local TRU news, two women set stuffed animals on fire to steal stuff at the Brookfield store...   http://fox6now.com/2016/12/22/toys-r-us-fire-in-brookfield-believed-to-be-arson-police-searching-for-2-female-suspects/

However, I did just see that series 3 is in the Walgreens weekly ad for next week, so my hope is renewed! 

Not on sale and oddly scaled in the pic, but good to see Minimates in the ad!
