Just to be clear, I am not leaving this community, I am only giving up the completist collecting aspect of it. If I see the odd mate pack that tickles my fancy, of course I'll pick it up, I'm just not going to but every single mate released each year like I have for the past 13 years. I gave my comic book shop notice of my intent and they understand. I have fulfilled all of my pre-order commitments with them and now I will be done as of tomorrow. Don't worry though, you will continue to see my brand of humorous photography and comics and whatnot.

You read right. After 13 years of collecting Minimates, I'm retiring from the collecting game. This was by no means a spur of the moment decision. Last year I was on the fence about whether or not to call it quits, but I gave myself a whole year to see if there was still a spark of passion left. Alas that feeling I once had many years ago isn't there anymore. As of today I have several cases of barely open mates still sitting in my photography room and a few missing blind bag mates from this year (which I do not feel obligated with hunting down). I have no intention of selling my collection and I have a lot of photo / minimate comic projects I'd still like to do.
Don't get me wrong, I still think Minimates are without a doubt the BEST toyline ever to hit retail. I love reading about the newest waves to hit the market and I absolutely love looking at all your display pics and dioramas. That part of my minimate love will never die, but my days of needing to track down and add every minimate release to my personal collection has come to a close. Tomorrow I will pick-up my last case from comic book shop (which will end all my pre-order commitments with them) and it so happens to be the last release of 2016.
With that said, before I take my final bow, I would very much love to put on one last "BEST MINIMATE OF" minimate show for all of you. As I do every year, I like to ask for your blessing to proceed. So... Can I take one last crack and put together the BEST MINIMATES OF 2016 award show and red carpet extravaganza?

I forgot to re-post my yearly Christmas special. Please turn up your volume and enjoy this Minibar Christmas classic once again. Merry Christmas y'all!

What are the things hanging off the side of deadpool
They look like fighting batons (similar to Daredevil's) the single one in her right side came off easily enough, but the two on her right are one piece and glued onto the belt pretty good. The hand can not hold it too good though as the diameter of the baton is slightly bigger.

I don't know. I think they both look weird because their hair doesn't go all the way down like it normally does.
And their ears are positioned way above their eyeline.

Any suggestion on how to make Hawkins' hat fit better? The riser sculpted to the head peg is annoying. Am I gonna hafta bust out my Dremel and try to grind it down?
That's what I did and it looks WAY better on his head.

It has definitely shipped to comic shops. Billing date was November 9, and there are very few cases left in inventory. If anyone's store was expecting them and has not received them, that store should probably look into their order.
Here's what was released at comic book shops for the month of November according to Preview World's website:
November 2, 2016 : No minimates
November 9, 2016: APC with LT Gorman, Antimatter B9 vinimate, Dutch vinimate and Predator vinimate
November 16, 2016: Netflix Daredevil minimate box set and Netflix Jessica Jones minimate box set
November 23, 2016: No minimates scheduled to ship this week.
Now if you look at this page from Toychest news, it says that the Predator vinimates shipped to stores on Oct 26, 2016 but in fact they showed up 2 weeks later. The Predator wave 3 minimates are listed as having showed up in stores on November 9, 2016, but if you click the link above you can see what actually showed up that week. I find it hard to believe that they showed up in comic shops and not one member here (at the Multiverse) or on any of the FB minimate collecting pages have posted finding any. I guess they'll show when they show.

Has anyone seen these in the wild?
My comic book shop has not had this wave show up on any of their ship list for the past few weeks. No one to my knowledge has reported seeing this wave at any specialty shops yet. Looks like it's only the TRU wave thus far.
-
Here two pics I snapped of the specialty store APC with the exclusive Lt, Gorman minimate. Gorman comes with 2 heads. One with bandages and one without. Unfortunately, both heads have the exact same facial expression. As a matter of fact, it's the same facial expression as the TRU dress uniform Lt.Gorman. *sigh*

Ordered mine as well. Thanks DR. I can not wait to get these in the mail, paint them up and replace those existing Godzilla heads.
Tell me, do you intend to sculpt any more monster heads? You have a real talent there I must say.

Count me in for Shapeways too. This sculpt is too amazing not to have as part of the collection.
-
Happy birthday gentlemen. Wishing you both all the best.

Can we see an ever larger close-up of that amazing Godzilla head sculpt?
-
Holy poop that's amazing Dreadnok Rocksteady! Do you have any other head sculpts to showcase?
