fwoosheyman Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Awww you're not inferior Zach. Now you're going to make me feel guilty. I like the translucent turtles and nice to see Mikey got his freckles. Transformers Kreos are still the bee's knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 No need to apologize, lobsterman, that's certainly very cool! $60 for 30 Kreons? Good deal. Curious how different the paint schemes are from the regular releases. Three new figs is nice, although I can see some collectors being sad about that. Also curious to see the Kreon mullet. That Transformers rock band sounds crazy, as well! Wish we had the market saturation (and con budget and manpower) to attempt something like what the biggest toy company in the world is doing. But I remember when we revealed the Iron Man 3 Hall of Armor set, and people were mad about Pepper's availability in a $50 box set with 8 (or 9) re-issues, even though it was not our first movie Pepper. Cool packaging goes a long way, I'm sure, but that can add a lot to the price, as well. Not sour grapes, just noting similarities. I have bought exactly two TF Kreons, and I am not a completist, so I have no strong feelings about it, other than it being a cool concept and good-looking set. I'd be curious to visit some TF Kreon fan boards and see what they say. At the risk of being called inferior by Fwoosheyman again, keep this under your hats for now: http://diamondselecttoys.com/diamond-select-toys-nickelodeon-tmnt-sdcc I think part of the difference is that most Kreons were released in the big Kre-O block sets, so you either had to pay for the set just for the Kreon or buy them loose. Being able to get a complete set of Autobots and Decepticons seems very attractive to those that might have passed on Kreons until now. As someone that's bought some loose Kreons, but got tired of Ebay and blind bag hunting, I'm torn. The translucent turtles are very cool.

karamazov80 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I never got a Kreon figure--not even Flint and Zartan--but the idea of packaging so many cool looking characters together in that box is very appealing. If I can somehow catch it on Hasbro Toy Shop, I'll get it. Weird though in that we get Arcee, Ultra Magnus, and Perceptor, who weren't '84.

I just got into the GI Joe Kre-O's and I'm hooked. Is there anyone here who can help me out with picking up a Transformers Class of '84 set?

karamazov80 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I thought I saw a Zartan Kre-O picture somewhere, but I could be mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Zach - There looks like there will be a lot of new minimate stuff on show at SDCC for new licences, but do you know if will you be unveiling anything new in the way of Marvel minimates at the show? Line-ups for upcoming specialty or TRU waves, Proto-types of upcoming series, design sheets for anything we haven't seen yet,etc....?

hellpop Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 It sounds like the next TRU wave is being put together right now, so I'd be surprised if we saw it. Maybe the box set though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Not sure if we'll have 60/19 ready and approved by then, art or sculpt or paint, but I think we'll be announcing the final Infinity line-up. Three assortments are still upcoming, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Not sure if we'll have 60/19 ready and approved by then, Oooh - i hope you do! Three assortments are still upcoming, mind you. Yeah, i thought there might be a bit much in the pipework already to expect any big Marvel reveals this con. Thanks for such a prompt reply, mate.

Nessex Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 alas - no. I'll be there in spirit, as it's significantly cheaper than being there in person. I will make it back again one day, but not this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'd love a couple of Umbrella Academy box sets. Since we've gone from speculatin' ta radom wish-listin', how'z about some 'mates based on The Goon? I hear slack-jawed zombies are all the rage dese days. Hellboy will forever remain at the top of my minimate want list until it's made. The Mezco Comic Hellboy & BPRD figures are still some of my absolute favorites. It really is a license perfect for Minimates. From anchor characters like Tick, Arthur, Chairface Chippendale, Barry Hubris Tick...to lesser known characters like Bi-Polar Bear, The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight, The Terror and his son Terry...

storm 1:08 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I've never opened an con promo baggie before but I might have to pull a Cappy and demolish the packaging to free those radioactive turtles.
