this looks pretty cool, actually

I thought Rom was some licensing nightmare. Isn't he owned by a toy company and not Marvel?

OMG these are amazing! I couldn't even get my 3D printer to connect to my computer let alone design something like this.

better to ask than to not, or you'll never find the information you're looking for

Adam strange! I’ve saved the helmets of the Buck Rogers boxed set to try and make a custom strange for years. It looks almost perfect as is

There is a figure that would cover most of the figure. Do you have a spare super-rare Angel/Thunderbird pack? Then add X-men yellow gloves and yellow boots.

Picard Season 3 was so good.

 

The first two seasons were a mess but I did make a custom Jeri Ryan using her 7 Face with new long blonde hair and use Fury 161 Ripley or something similar for the body to make her Ranger outfit.

I agree. Season 1 was ok. Season 2 was unwatchable. Loved Season 3.

I just made a Captain 7 custom with a Janeway body and a Barbara Kean (from Gotham) hairpiece

Love this idea! I have ALOT of extra pieces floating around that are perfect for this. Are you sticking to Marvel or will other properties be in the mix?

These are...interesting. Not terrible but it's like looking at an old family photo and not recognizing anyone in it but still trying to figure out who they could be. I like some of the designs and vaguely remember some of these (I'm a few years older than Zach).

Oy, I will be bummed if Typhoid Mary dropped. 

Me too. She is the best of the 3 villains in the set

Price increases happen. Eventually there’s gonna be a set I skip. It was almost YA but ya got in the pizza dog and my girl Kate, so I had to. 
But for now the representation of the characters have been spot on, the accessories continue to be pretty baller, and the most annoying thing about the FF set was that I couldn’t just buy another Reed two pack to make him even longer. 
Make good stuff, I’ll give you money. I’m still in a place I can indulge this and my Lego hobby. Hopefully will be for a while. 

hear hear. I've stopped being a completest and there are some sets I let fall by the wayside for any number of reasons.

The next few sets look amazing and so far, I have staved off product fatigue because the figures look so good! I've been lucky to be in a place in my life I can afford this little addiction. 

I totally agree about the FF set BTW but for me, it was Doom's cape. I had a whole host of shadow figures planned that are WAY too expensive under the current packaging. 

anyone have these yet? So excited for these!

@DSTZach - are there any plans for a Jennifer Coolidge Megazord set?

I would pre-order 10 of these!

Goldar

He doesn't get his wings until later in the series, and I think I prefer him without them.

this is awesome!

No current plans, but we'll see! New pics of the Villains set:

Amazing! Thank you!

I believe wings are removable from chest piece/helmet. They peg into the back. I do not believe it is a permanent connection. 

 

This is fantastic! I love seeing concept art! Thank you!!!

Two weeks to the VIllains...

I am SUPER excited for these! Are Venger's wings part of his chest piece or are they separate? So many cool characters! So many cool parts!

Great news indeed! I can't wait for my sets from Lukes! I hope they surprise us with who is in Series 3. I'm expecting Flint and Lady Jaye in it, Hopefullly we don't get Commando Snake-Eyes right away in this set and they put him in the following G.I. Joe series (Series 5). I'd love to see the Dreadnoks in Series 6 then if they keep doing it one series G.I. Joe and then the next Cobra.

Pimp Daddy Destro?

This line has made me passionate about Minimates again, having sold off the majority of my collection over the last few years.

I was a really big Power Rangers fan as a kid, and the Boom Studios comic had brought it all back.

I've been buying up loads of the box sets and other spare loose parts to make the villains and Boom characters, just in case DST don't get around to them.

Here's a few photos of a Zordon I threw together, with modified Green Ranger (helmet painted) and Alpha (short limbs). Eventually I think I'll add a LED light to the base.

Dr Manhattan Vinimate head (trimmed at the ball-point), Minimate flight stand, a milk bottle cap, part of a plastic pepper grinder, and an acrylic tube!

 

MiniMilner - I'm in the UK and haven't successfully found them anywhere; I've bought all mine from Luke.

Brilliant!

My favorite Marvel MiniMates release-style is still the 4-pack wave model that included a variant and an army-builder. Oh man, I bought so many. I am still drowning in Sentinels, AIM Agents, Dreadnoughts, Hellfire Guards and more. And I love it.

Next up would be the added value of the "build-a-figure" model. Looking at you, Spider-Slayer!

 

I agree with this. Loved this model. No idea of the economics but it certainly made me motivated to buy extras to build the army I want.  I gave away the one or two extra figures that I had no interest in. 

I don't mind whole-team waves, like we have been getting. That said, I would have bought a ton of Doctor Doom 2-packs for that cape alone! 

I am no fan of blind packs. If that is the model then I will buy purely through the secondary market. I want to know what my money is getting me.

We're tweaking the set a little bit to try and bring the price down. I'm not sure of the final order numbers on Young Avengers, but the FF set was not a sell-out by any stretch (no pun intended), so we know a $50 set is a tough sell. If we can make a set that runs for $40, we will do that, even if it means it is a five-pack instead of a six-pack. Not sure which character would get cut, or when we'll offer it, but I'll keep everyone posted. Young Avengers set is still set to go as a six-pack, as far as I know.

One fan's opinion, have no issue losing Bullseye or Kingpin. There are already multiples of them and I personally won't miss them. The others are waaaay to good to lose.

Strange New Worlds is a proper Star Trek. 
Like they Trek to planets, solve a problem, and then the Enterprise goes to the next thing. 
There are season long character arcs (M’Benga in particular made me cry a lot) but very few episodes end unresolved. And honestly, though there are teases for exciting things to come, I’m satisfied with this finale as a finale. It really wraps up Pike’s arc gloriously and shows an unexpected and thoroughly exciting alternate future. 
 

If it’s been a while since you’ve seen the Original Series, the most important episodes that SNW calls forward to are The Menagerie, Arena, Amok Time, and Balance of Terror. Rewatch those before going into this.

Alright, I'm convinced! Thanks!

Picard season one I finished. Bad. 
I got four episodes into season 2 and bailed. 
 

three seasons of Discovery and it’s… adequate. 
 

every single episode of Lower Decks and it’s a fucking GEM. I laugh as hard at this as I do at Rick and Morty. 
 

Strange New Worlds if it keeps up will be my favorite Trek series of all time. Dazzling return to TOS form. 
 

Prodigy is there. 

You made it further into Picard season 2 than I did. I kind of liked season 1 for the nostalgia bits but S2 was just bad. Season 3 looks promising

I watch Discovery in drips and drabs. The story doesn't make much sense anyway so I don't really lose anything. (The replicator conversation almost made me vomit).

Both of these series has me leery of SNW but I may give it a chance.

Lower Decks is excellent!
