Polarboy Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I agree with all the predator speculation but if I got to pick from those options I would go nightmare before xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I wouldn't be that keen on a Mad Max line Hits too close to home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Could be. Otherwise we'd have gotten some promotional photos or something like that. It's been close to 5 months now and still no word on their status, whereas the BBC has given permission to people to create DW sets on LI. I don't know, I desperately want the new license to be DW, but I'm trying to keep my expectations low so that I won't be dissapointed (but based on the info we've got it could be Predator so it's a win-win situation). But hey, I remember in 2012 when we were guessing the new line that would debut at SDCC. It was Thundercats and not TMNT but lo and behold, 2 years later, TMNT mates! Maybe this is the doc's year! The line has unlimited potential as the don't need to re-release the same characters in the same costumes as each Doc has a lot of different outfits. Tenant for example had: -Tuxedo -Meta-Crisis clone suit -Blue suit -Brown Suit -Blue suit with coat -Brown suit with coat -After Regeneration/9's jacket -Blue suit with jacket, hat and sunglasses (from the end of time part 1) -3d Glasses -Normal Glasses -Human Nature Doctor -Battle Damaged -Satan Pit Suit Add in some different hair styles and expressions and boom! And that's just for the 10th Doc. God could you imagine how awful it would be if we had all those and weren't at least 30 waves in I'm a huge Doctor Who fan (well everything before Steven Moffat got his hands on Doctor Who). But as much as it pains me to say unless it was maybe a line featuring all the Doctor Who's I think the time may have past for modern doctor, the ratings are still good but they arn't what they once were.

Pete Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Everything else we've been waiting on has been revealed (SDCC, Bling Bag licence etc)... any ideas when we'll find out what this will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 geeze if I was put on the spot I would have thought they were still making the silly thing. I'm shocked that something as big as the teletubbies only lasted 4 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The wait for the reveal is killing me. I hope it is Predator minimates. I have no interest in Dr. Who minimates. I was probably ten years old the last time I watched an episode of Dr. Who. I remember he wore a trenchcoat and scarf and had brown poofy curly hair.

Mnemosis Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Have we ever tossed around the idea of some Elder Scrolls Minimates? This is something I could easily get behind, with new sets offering new armors, clothes, weapons, spell effects, and expressions. Your first wave would have to include the major races: Khajit/Redguard Argonian/Wood Elf Orc/High Elf Nord/Dark Elf Imperials and Bretons could wait as they are essentially just white humans like the Nord. Alternatively, this could also be a good line for blind bagging. With less-than-unique characters, duplicates would just mean world building Over time, you could build not just armies, but an entire world's worth of wizards, knights, cutthroats, and kings. I'd encourage later wants to include creatures like fire, ice, and storm atronarchs, falmer, and even the Daedric princes!

Warhammer 40k would make for some killer mates and i'd probably go bankrupt assembling a Chaos Marine army but it's never going to happen so why torture myself? Back at the normal speculation it seems that TNBC and Predator are the frontrunners. I'm placing my money on Pred but i'd love it to be TNBC. If they could use the expanded universe then we could get some of Jack's alternate costumes which would help the line keep going on. Even without them though, you have these Jack variants only from the movie: Pumpkin King Normal Santa Battle-Damaged Santa Pajamas Add in some different expressions with some certain re-releases and you can easily get most if not all of the town's residents. For example: Vampire 4 pack with the three brothers and Vampire Jack (expanded U) Christmas 4-pack: Santa, an elf, snowman Jack and bd Santa Jack Vehicle: Santa Jack, Sleigh and Zero Series 1: Normal Jack/Oogie Boogie Normal Sally/Doctor Finkenstain Normal Mayor/Witch Werewolf/Devil Series 2: Ghosts/Pumkin King Sad Jack/Sad Sally Clown/Scared Mayor Kid mummy/Tree with skeletons Villains 4-pack: Glow in the Dark Oogie and Lock,Shock&Barrel There are stil some minor monsters but you get the idea. Maybe have some "environment" packs that when assembled make the town. Slimy Jack and the fountain perhaps. Or if not, each character could come with certain accessories. Tombstones, a podium, jack o lanterns, scary toys, coffins, etc... Edited June 18, 2014 by Kostisfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're launching the line with a figure we're offering to comic shops for ComicFest -- it'll absolutely be in Previews. Looks like we'll solicit next month.

QuisporQuake Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I know I'm new and everything, but when you have the scoop ; NEW YORK (AP) -- Lifetime is going back to the 1990s with a TV movie on the Saturday morning show "Saved By the Bell." The network said Thursday that its film, "The Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story," is being made in Vancouver and will premiere on Labor Day. It will examine the life of young unknown actors in Hollywood trying to maintain the clean image of their characters while growing up amid the temptations of show business.

We're launching the line with a figure we're offering to comic shops for ComicFest -- it'll absolutely be in Previews. Looks like we'll solicit next month. Well, poop. Sorry, but given that we were launching with a figure for ComicFest, I assumed it was a given the line would be sold in comic shops. But then, I have to ask, why would a Disney-based line not be in Previews? Or are you saying a Disney Store-exclusive line wouldn't be in Previews? The latter is correct. Zach, is the new property something that you're a fan of? And is it something that may compliment another line that has been/will be released? Yes, and no. I like the source material, but I don't know that it will complement anything we've made so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could it be, what could it be that has no relation to any of the lines made so far. Hmm... Dragonball maybe? Mortal Kombat? Metal Gear Solid? Spawn? A video game property?

CBMM1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I would buy the "you-know-what" out of Mortal Kombat 'Mates! It actually makes sense as a line given that there is a new game coming out and the first figure will be a Halloween release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
