Well, we have other categories for both movies. Black Panther we STARTED with Minimates, and we've got the action figure and 4-5 statues aplenty coming up. Plus a new BP in the AIW Minimates line. Not sure more Dora Milaje are in the cards, or any characters that are not AIW.

Pacific Rim we're starting with action figures, and putting out those superdeformed figures, too.  Minimates and Vinimates seem like they'd be pretty tooling intensive anyway, so we're waiting to see overall response before we launch a third highly sculptural line of figures. Fingers crossed, because I'd like to see them.

Does the IW Panther at least have the exposed eyes in the mask?

If they aren't identical they're very, very close. I think you could easily swap parts around and not notice a difference, and that's coming from someone who is very picky about colors matching.

Great, really not a fan of the slipover mask on the IW version, much prefer the plain head, not really too big on the weirdly underdetailed chest piece but I can live with that

Can anyone who has these tell me how the reds match up between the mk 50 and the homecoming version

I keep seeing the date March 3, but I’m not sure if that’s official or an educated guess. 

I know march 3rd is the official street date for the lego sets, not sure about everything else

I know it wouldn’t happen because of how old the piece is and the outdated art DST probably has to work with, but I think the Emil Blonsky hairpiece would work amazingly for nomad, like this kitbash i threw together

Winter Soldier looks good, but i hope you’ll be able to see the chest detail better on release, and those grey legs are getting replaced, Widow looks great other than the hair looking a little short, Rocket looks amazing with the new legs and thin torso, not feeling Groot though, hate the arms as legs and his face just looks weird and overall looks too dark, but I appreciate they made circular feet for it, as the square feet always look weird with the armlegs

What's up with two eyed Thor?  He has the eye patch in the trailers but the Funko Pop and now the minimate have him with both eyes again?

 

Also, It looks like Spidey isn't under the same constraint as he was in Civil War (Which is great)

 

I hope that "teen" groot uses the child chest/arms/legs so there will be a noticeable difference between the gotg1 version.

The rumor is that the eye patch was an incredibly late addition to Ragnarok, late enough that only a couple of additional scenes were added, and the blood/eyepatch had to be cgi’d in. Ragnarok and Infinty War were filmed close enough together that apparently all the concept art, promo art, figure references and even scenes in the movie, as seen in the D23 trailer were done without the eyepatch and was later added in post

Or somehow his eye is restored early in the movie

Holy shit, didn’t even notice the back of the package shows spidey with the waldoes!

We got some Scarlet Witch art on some leaked marvel legends, it identical to the civil war verison just with some black bracers on the arms, but I’d say shes a lock because of the CW versions limited release 

An almost straight Doctor Strange release is weird, the face could’ve been changed more, its nice to get Star Lord with a closed jacket, and yet again we see an eyepatchless Thor, so who knows whats going on there

Okay, so I have 4 Okoyes with Nakia heads/hands/circles, who needs one?

And who has 4 more Nakia bodies with Okoye spears?

Now to find some heads & hands to put on these...

I would recommend prison or riot gear Michonne, they might be a little too light, but Luke has em for cheap (at leas the prison one) the 4 pack version would work too, but she has colored gloves which might be a little awkward

I know they can’t say much, but I’m puzzled by the delay when they’ve released trailers and other merchandise is already hitting shelves, if there are elements they can’t reveal they could utilize the black silhouette, but not letting DST even show people like Iron Man and Cap seems a bit excessive. 

Its like that for everyone, it’s more a case of stores putting stuff out before their street dates, the Marvel Legends figures have been out for weeks but still not officially announced by Hasbro, same deal with Funko and Lego, but lego may have shown official pics

If we get figs from the sequel it'd be cool to get Common and Fishburnes characters or the big asian assassin, probably Leguizamos and Mcshanes characters, Theon and the two main villans from each movie and the female assassins, Dafoe and a couple different Wick variants would probably make a good assortment

I used similar bulking on a suited sabertooth. I feel like it is a good way to portray certain characters. Hulk is bulky everywhere. Sabertooth or Venom don't need giant hands or feet, but more muscular upper arms and legs make sense

Yeah i think the legs actually work surprisingly well, the arms not so much

That looks like the definitive spidey mate, the detail, the eyes, the shadowing, the colors, the full wrap around printing on the belt arms and legs, the twipping hands are all amazing

These definitely translate better then the Spongebob ones did, except for cream, those legs do not work at all, short legs should have been used, hopefully they have Shadow and Knuckles for maybe a tru or gamestop exclusive, like others were saying on the facebook page it would suck for this first series to not sell well enough for a second series and miss out on those two, can't see dst doing cream and a slightly different sonic without two of the main characters planned at least

I’d be perfectly game for something like this, even if i had to buy the same character again, especially if it allowed for older, shodier figures like TFA Cap or the older Iron Man armors to be done in the newer style, but I can see why alot of people wouldn’t be on board for this

Hasbro is releasing new Legends figures under this license and will be going back to the older movies. Hopefully DST will be doing minimates.

I definitely want Hogan, Fandral, Odin, Armored Whiplash & Collector and would be willing to buy some main character redos to get them.

 

I think if DST released a series with one pack per movie with an updated version of the main character from that film and one fan requested character it could do well, funko released a TFA Cap pop last year and they couldn’t keep those on the shelf, the only problem is I think DST works off of limited licenses for the films and loses the rights after their series’ but it would be cook if they did something like

Thor 1 Thor with Fandrall

TDW Thor with Hogun

GOTG 2 Star Lord with Kraglin

TWS Cap with Alexander Pierce 

CW Cap with Zemo

Ragnarok Thor with Korg

Spiderman with Ned

Ravager Star Lord with Collector

and so on and so forth

Interesting to note that the package refers to the new hammer as

I would certainly hope we get a Luis this time around, I don’t really see a new Hank Pym being necessary but he’s probably a lock, Walton Goggins character would be nice too

I’m pretty damn pumped for a collector, he’s probably the biggest mcu snub next to the warriors 2/3 and Zemo, maybe Korg and Miek too, but I can understand why dst didn’t/couldn’t make them

I really don’t think those waves are DSTs fault necessarily, as much as a problem of nearly identical designs in the film as earlier incarnations, some weird choices aside I think they did fine for what they were given. Hopefully Infinity War will be different with a lot of new designs and probably not as much retreading, do we know if it’ll have two waves?

So DST is making a Punisher statue specifically based on the standalone show, could this mean we have a chance of getting a box set?

I'm guessing Del Toro-style Collector.

I would definitely say so, if i had to guess for character only made from the movie I’d bet it’d be one of the Ragnarok characters, Hela Skurge or Grandmaster, probably Hela for the easy parts reuse but I could see a Collector and Grandmaster pack

The thing that particularly peeves me about the spider girl is its just a spiderman with an ever so slightly different chest block deco, and plus it can’t be used for anything from the comics or even for parts
