SCW

Have two sets been released already or only 1?

@DSTZach any word on the Adventure Team sets or when I should be on the lookout for those to be solicited? I saw that the Joe Colton AT statue got listed. 

Looks great.

Got my series 2 figs in.

Nah.

I'm not talking about Adventure Team, I am not sure when we are offering those. I mean overall orders on Series 1 and 2 increasing.

Don't promise me the AT and not deliver.

I'm glad that more TMNT is on the horizon.

Has anyone ever tried putting an Akedo toys figure head on a Minimate? It looks like it would work, but I haven't ever bought any to find out. They might be slightly oversized and the aesthetic wouldn't work for everything but would work for some things.

Power Sword seems a little short.

Hopefully my Wave 2 preorders with EE come through.

Box set with 2 putties, Rita and Zedd would be nice if nothing else.

I am stoked for the AT Minimates. Has there been any discussion on possibly flocking them? I know the Kreo figs were flocked. Might be fun!

It's a good time for the second set to hit.

Checked out Cotswold, as I remember they used to be very into retro Joe. Now, they seem to specialize in very high-end 1/6 scale, with some 1:12 from Mezco and some 1/18 Warhammer stuff. It's possible they may be interested, maybe I'll send them some hints. THanks!

Cotswold is not just into high-end, they are the #1 source for retro Joe stuff. Most of the stuff they promote is Adventure Team style stuff, they just carry the other 1:6 stuff as well. This is the website: https://www.gijoeelite.com/

Their Elite Brigade brand is where all the AT-inspired stuff is. They had made so much stuff in recent years.

There is a big market. Estrela is making Falcon sets again, Geyperman is making stuff and Action Man is back as well. Strike while the iron is hot!

These are amazing. There is a huge Adventure Team fan base out there and the recent Super Joe relaunch has sold like gangbusters.

You guys should reach out to Cotswolds and have them carry these.

SUPER stoked!

i did, thanks!  love it but i'm not really into 6" figures.  got a few but prefer minimates.

thanks though!  i did get the simpsons matt groening and stan lee figures.  was lucky enough to get the matt one signed but missed out on stan.  

FWIW the Hama figure is 3 3/4 (actually 4" as most modern 3 3/4 actually are) and not 6".

So it's possible that Power Rangers is already dead in the water? Because that would be... disappointing.

Really nice custom Goldar.

I sure hope DST does a deep dive on villains, there's so much fun to be had just in Rita's palace.

I really like the Minimate Zord designs. It's a shame they're struggling. Concerns me.

I'd buy a ton of 2 packs of LTS Foot. Just saying.

I definitely wanted the MMPR Vinis, but I'm not huge on pre-orders these days. Guess I'll pre-order to try and make sure they go through.

Those Bucks are just like the real life counterparts, not gonna sell. 

I see the Punk stuff is being phased out.

I call The Orville "Cringe Trek." I was totally open to something like Galaxy Quest but Seth MacFarlane's love letter to the franchise is clearly more an homage to early TNG than a parody.

It's not supposed to be a parody and never was. Fox tried to market it like that because they assumed that people wanted that from MacFarlane and Fox has never known how to market sci-fi, but instead he did a very serious Trek show that is better than any Trek modern show. The stuff in season 4 is as good of sci-fi, as well, has ever been produced anywhere, Trek or otherwise.

If you like Star Trek, watch The Orville.

It's the best Star Trek show to date.

This is not a joke.

This was the set I saw (and a couple other little mini sets I can't seem to find online) but it was just the train:

https://www.amazon.com/Wizarding-World-Exclusive-Hogwarts-Accessories/dp/B09NLQHZHZ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1UYOUXCEANSNS&keywords=Wizarding%2BWorld%2BHarry%2BPotter&qid=1668613383&s=toys-and-games&sprefix=wizarding%2Bworld%2Bharry%2Bpotter%2Ctoys-and-games%2C64&sr=1-4&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.fa474cd8-6dfc-4bad-a280-890f5a4e2f90&th=1

Anyway, the scale on this looked to be pretty spot on for Mates. To be fair, I didn't have one in my pocket at the time, but the scaling was much closer to MM than the actual figures included which look to be 3inches or so. You can see how some of these figures are too big for their intended spots, which means MM should scale nicely. 

The castle looks fun too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SWKD5BL/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B08SWKD5BL&pd_rd_w=zKew1&content-id=amzn1.sym.88097cb9-5064-44ef-891b-abfacbc1c44b&pf_rd_p=88097cb9-5064-44ef-891b-abfacbc1c44b&pf_rd_r=9FCJ0XKDY969YT28YNWJ&pd_rd_wg=xC3iQ&pd_rd_r=9f985519-872c-4d99-b5aa-2b3a9bd612b9&s=toys-and-games&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw

I just recently saw some Harry Potter mini figures in the girls doll section. Not sure of what exactly their branding is, but they had a train playset and a few other things. They looked to be pretty perfect minimates scale. Not the train itself but the interior bits. MIGHT be of some use to someone.

Invisible accessory jokes? I see you guys are horsing around again.
