  1. TMNT is, together with Avatar: Legend of Korra, the best cartoon of these days. Simple like that. And better than the 90's cartoon, by the way.

    It's better because it homages it plenty, while toning down the goofiness of the original.

    You are completely right!

    Nick's TMNT cartoon seems to have found a decent balance between humor (which is so popular in animation these days) and action (which has been waning drastically). I need to catch up on it, especially if it stacks up to Legend of Korra.

    (Avatar and Korra Minimates. Just sayin', DST.)

    So are you. Including asking for Avatar's minimates. =)

    There is fun, there is action, there is some ninja stuff and there is pizza! Ok, no cowabunga (except once only) but booyakasha and Mikey's war cry (uóóóóóóh) replaces it very well.

  2. I'm thankful for minimates because this year was too weak for me professionally until last month, having direct consequences in my wallet and drastically reducing my purchases of action figures this year. But thanks to Minimates I managed to keep a minimum of purchases that didn't interfere me financially, keeping my collection active.

  3. I have a few only, but I don't think they really count as customs since it's swap pieces only.

    Balrog (Street Fighter) - WIP - I need to finish him yet.

    Heimdall (comics version) - new head, a Wolverine movie.

    Neo (Matrix) - Esker from Resident Evil with a new hair. I updated him with new skin color hands.

    Buuut I already made one single custom a long time ago.

    Jakeem Thunder & Thunderbolt from Justice Society of America. I made Jakeem using a Billy Batson action figure from SHAZAM Series (DC Direct) and a friend made Thundebolt using The Flash from Kingdom Come.

  4. That's what's this line was made for, accessibility.

    Marvel Best of is the line that made me start my minimates collection. I started with waves 1 and 2 and in almost 2 years I bought more than 130 minimates. It's more than 5 per month. So I can say that Best of is one of the best made so far. I can't wait to receive wave 3 and to still buying more and more waves.

  5. Brazilian company Iron Studios announced the prototype of the render of the Guardians of the Galaxy diorama. It's 1/10 and will be released in the Art Scale line.

    Besides the image, there is an interview with Daniel Siequeroli, the responsible for the Concept Design of the project ( in portuguese, but you can google translate it =) ).

  6. Zach, DST plans to release how many characters per case will be sold? Can you tell us please? Specially for the specialty case (which Luke will receive, for example).

    >Blind bag display has 18. I believe a strip does as well. TRU case should be 12 2-packs

    I know most KMart stores are getting a strip, but I don't know if that includes stores actively clearing out inventory, if they in fact are closing that soon.

    I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I meant how many of each characters per case of 18. For example: 1 mutagen mikey, 2 leos, 2 donnies, 2 mikey, 3 raph, 1 shredder, 2 april, 2 footbot and 3 foot soldier.

    Is there a right number or is it random?

    So this is a question that will never have an answer?

    Sorry to be repetitive but my friends and I don't live in the United States and our only reliable option is Luke's Toy Store , who also didn't know about this. It would be great to know exactly about this, if there is an exact number, so we can buy the right number of sets. Here we can hardly trade with those who live in another country and the minimates market here is practically zero. It's insane to trade an action figure that costs $6 and pay $20 or more for shipping.
