minijames

I already pre ordered the LCS wave so I am not too excited about waiting but I will appreciate the extra time for the TRU exclusives. To this day I've only ever found Morgan.......guessing Michonne and Governer will be easier to come by than most. At least they both have alternate looks, even if they arent much different (or, in Governors case, accurate)

They've been catalogued in the database

3000 is a pretty good number I think, especially because the zombies are the only new characters and most casual collecters would probably just QC a regular Hershel out of Dale and Prison Hershel, pass on the Rick and turn a blind eye to the zombies. Not complaining about it being easily available at all, especially with Glenn/Nerd Zombie taunting me at $50+ on the secondary market.

No black and white!!!!!!!!! I dont care about keeping the look of the source material, these are minimates and the glorious thing about minimates is that their parts are compatible with each other across 10 different licenses. I would be so irritated if they made a Brittany Murphy Shelley in the same outfit as her NECA figure and it was black and white, or anything but full color. The Walking Dead minimates are in color despite the comics being black and white, and they are BETTER because of it. Again, black and white = boring and incompatible.

I'm only interested in MMPR and the original 6 Rangers, with Rocky, Aisha and Adam being represented by alternate heads for Trini, Jason and Zack under their helmets. I'd probably never display any of the civilian heads but it would be cool to have it be an option. As far as how the releases would go, I think a TRU 6 pack of White, Red, Black, Blue, Yellow and Pink would be the best way to go about it. $29.99 seems like a fair price for the 6 figures, 6 hair pieces, 3 alternate heads, 6 blasters and their individual weapons. I see any villians falling flat......just like the original toyline and the 2010 3.75 figures. They look cool enough but they arent as iconic or relevant as the original 6 have stayed 20 years later. Seems like a one-and-done to me, or possibly 3 or 4 four packs Pink White Blue Lord Zedd Red Black Goldaar Rita Repulsa Green Yellow Alpha 5 Zordon

Shifting the focus back to Series 4 now..... Wouldn't it be awesome if Lori came with a bulked up torso from the time she was pregnant? I think Rufus' belly would work, and pregnant Lori is a lot less depressing than looking at that soon to be dead baby in her arms. EDIT: After looking at Rufus, he is way too fat. Lori wished there was enough food to go around for her to put on that much baby weight. I didn't realize. Still, Bruce's gut might be a good fit for a pregnant womans belly. Or maybe I should just give up on my dream of a preggo minimate......it was kind of a wierd dream anyway. I think the line would benefit from stepping out of chronological order at times, and offering current characters and variations so that the minimates are not always 7 years behind the comic book. Negan is popular, Glenn is popular, and there are already a number of battle damaged characters he could fit in with until you are ready to accept it. Well, two. Tyreese's minimate is a brutal reminder of his fate, and Glenn deserves the same!

Thats what I meant. I haven't read that trade yet but I've read spoilers so I know we're on the same page, despite my not really having a visual.

I just like Minimates, so I started to collect a bunch of different licenses before scaling back to only TWD. I eventually found the MU to be much too large and certain figures I wanted are simply too expensive. No way in hell am I ever going to own Psylocke/Gambit at current prices, and that alone frustrated me to the point of not wanting any Marvel. Check my Haves and Wants! I enjoy the juxstaposition of gore/violence and cuteness The Walking Dead minimates offer. Every one of them is adorably bad ass, most zombies have unique sculpting and they served as the biggest catalyst for my finally reading the comic book (like many, I only watched the show). Really hoping TWD mates go on for a long time.

3, very close to 4 waves per year, with two boxsets and two exclusives released in between. Hopefully that increases with the success of the line, especially the boxsets. I have a wishlisting problem........ Boxset 3 (previews exclusive) Battle Damage Glenn Negan (with Lucille) Zombie Savior Zombie of some other sort Oh yeah and Vehicles-wise, I'd really like to see Dale's RV with an exclusive 'sick' Dale minimate.

My ideal series 5 and 6 Carl/Zombie Penny Maggie/Glenn Tyreese/Zombie Carol Variant Sophia/Zombie Carol TRU Exclusives Billy Greene/Zombie Dr. Stevens/Zombie Carl/Zombie Tyreese/Zombie Series 6 Rick/Martinez Abraham/Eugene Andrea/Zombie Variant Rosita/Zombie TRU Axel/Zombie New Zombie/New Zombie Rick/Zombie Martinez Andrea/New Zombie I like Zombie Shawn, and I think having zombified versions of important characters would be fun and would sell better than the nameless ones. Andrea being shared between TRU and LCS, with Rosita as the variant would eliminate the need to buy the LCS Andrea and being stuck with an extra zombie. I'd like to see more female zombies, though I'm sure whatever zombies they do will look awesome.

And Alice is a doctors assistant from Woodbury who assists Lori in giving birth. Ricks hand is gone. It gets chopped off. I dont consider that a spoiler since the source material is ten years old and this is the second handless Rick minimate.

Sailor Venus prototype I found on Instagram Looks great. I like the articulated hair that Mars also has and I hope she comes with Artemis. A variant Sailor V would also be cool. Hopefully this line does well and they can explore some other costumes, Sailor Moon definitely has a couple others I'd like to see.

They need to do Sin City minimates in color or else they aren't going to sell. Black and white is just boring.

They already have a half arm from dr connors so i wouldnt be surprised if it was included.

Songbird, sorry.

TRU Series 4 is Cloak Michonne/crawling zombie (the one tipped over in the first pic, will include guts) Regular Governer/biker zombie Riot Gear Governor/jaw zombie Beard Rick/bullet holes zombie Looks like Michonne will have bare arms whic annoys me less about having to get two. Regular Gov also carries over from the LCS wave. Its also worth noting that Rick and Riot Gear Gov are the two that will be the Glenn/Shane/Lori/Morgan/Carol of this set, and only packed 2 per case.

Jubilee angers me. They took the lazy way out and went with her current outfit instead of finishing off the Jim Lee X Men once and for all. At least they got us Jean, but the only people I know who wanted Jubilee wanted her for their 90's X Men. Frustrating. Black Cat and Moonstone both look awesome. Really digging the new thicker body and Black Cat was in desperate need of an upgrade in the action figure department. Mockingbird......oooh no, I don't like that haircut. That's bad. She already isnt a very sexy character and the hairs not helping.

The SH Figuarts Power Rangers and Sailor Moon lines were the standouts of the con for me. Its going to be extremely expensive for me ($400+ for both teams of 5) but the quality, articulation and schmorgesborg of accessories and swappable parts, not to mention the nostalgia of the early 90's make these my main priority this year and probably alot of 2014 too. Marvel and DC were unimpressive, and the news about MU and ML "rebranding" just makes me glad I haven't invested much in them. Minimates were awesome as always.

I dont like The Big Bang Theory, so I hope not. I know it seems dated but I'd really like Austin Powers minimates. Wave 1 Red Suit Austin/Vanessa Kensington Underwear Austin/Alotta Vagina (?) Dr. Evil/Fembot army builder Variant Number Two/Fembot Army Builder Wave 2 Blue suit Austin/Felicity Shagwell Space suit Dr. Evil/Mini-Me Fat Bastard/pink swimsuit Austin Scott Evil/Frau Wave 3 Goldmember/The Mole Hardknock Life Dr Evil/Mini Me Funky Austin/Foxxy Cleopatra Sumo Fat Bastard/Balding Scott Evil

They wear corsets and sometimes I wish zombies would burst in and gut them, but I figure thats how most people feel about their coworkers.

Zombies chowing down on a bottle service waitress.

Ooh, Walking Dead series 4 in early August? Can't wait for cloaked Michonne and the Woodbury folk. TRU assortment has some awesome zombies but it's cool that we are starting to get a Woodbury vs Prison group, the original Atlanta and the Farm Arcs. Hoping for a Carl with several different looks to flesh out my display with some other QCs I want to do (Prison Carol, Prison Michonne, civilian Andrea, Riot Gear Glenn). Series 5 would be October/Novemberish? Wishlist! Carl/Penny Carl/Variant Sophia Underwear Glenn/Farm Maggie (with alternate terrible haicut for a QC Prison Maggie. I think undies Glenn would be a funny variation of a popular character we've already seen twice) Tyreese/Axel With Carl and Tyreese getting the Michonne/Governer treatment in the TRU wave and getting repaired with new zombies. The other two sets at TRU should be Doctor Stevens/Zombie Billy Greene/Zombie Carl and Tyreese are set to be a large part of Season 4, which should be starting at the same time. If Carl had an alternate look, and with a non Battle Damage Prison Tyreese QC in mind I wouldnt even mind having to buy 2-3 of each

They need to get the license to do Buffy The Vampire Slayer minimates. The PALZ were OK but I think there is still profit in that license. The action figures fizzled out because of the scale issues and high price but there were alot of clothing variants. Lots of oppurtunity for variants of the main characters, alternate vampire heads, crazy monsters......it has alot of potential.

Hoping it's X Themed. A Dark Phoenix Saga set would rock. Dark Phoenix Marvel Girl Sebastian Shaw Cyclops (with optic blast) The Gladiator Disco Dazzler Seems to fit the criteria. If it's Avengers theme I'd hope for a new Wasp, Black Widow or Vision to be in the choices. Whatever two don't win get put in a TRU wave right?
