MiniMage Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 From the ashes of Wave 19, Wave 20 will rise... In a recent interview, Mr. Zach Oat commented on the topic of the 20th wave of Toys R US Minimates stating: "We do have Series 20 of the Toys R Us Exclusive waves done! They're designed, although I don't think they've been produced yet, and they should be hitting Toys R Us Stores this Spring or Summer! It's going to represent a little big of a change in the way we do things for Toys R Us. I can't talk much about the change yet, I'm not quite ready to drop that bomb, but let's just say it's going to be a little different. The next Toys R Us wave is going to be something special, and it isn't going to overlap with any specialty assortment. Hopefully we're going to announce more information on that soon, and once we do, determine when it'll be hitting stores. I think it'll be really cool and a lot of people are going to like it! I'm sure there will be some people who are still a little unsure about it, but I feel like for the most part it should go well." Thoughts?

youbastards Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Interesting. I'm pretty sure that Zach said we can expect TRU assortments to to be three 2-packs going forward, with no overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmonkey2k Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 But would that be considered a "bomb announcement" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It sounds like it will be a specialty wave just at TRU instead. All the packs will be related somehow and no overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthBurkie Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Team completion wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmonkey2k Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Dream TRU wave: Thunderbolts Venom/ Pheonix Magik Thunderbolts(with NOW parts) Ghost Rider/ Pheonix Namor Zenpool/ Old man Steve Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing something closer to the "Best Of" sets with updated versions of classic & recognizable costumes. Maybe it's a "Best of TRU" wave. BTW, I love that my Zach custom is now being used to Identify him in interviews!

hailtotheking Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I have a feeling the TRU waves will strive for even more mass appeal then we have seen in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Maybe a mix of movie and comics figures, like Hasbro's been doing with Marvel Legends? Just a (probably incorrect) guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I can't really imagine WHAT the bomb will be. Marvel NOW exclusively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Maybe a mix of movie and comics figures, like Hasbro's been doing with Marvel Legends? Just a (probably incorrect) guess. Dear god, no. That's what made me drop Legends years ago. My guess is blind bags. Not getting my hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I can't really imagine WHAT the bomb will be. Marvel NOW exclusively? I asked Chuck about a Mr. Knight fig (and a NOW! wave in general) and this was his response from the latest AskDST: DSTChuck: Glad you like series 62. I honestly do not know how deep we are going to go with the NOW line. I am sure there will be more box sets in 2016 but I do not know the theme yet. That, I interpret as having some plans for NOW! figs, but that many to fill a whole wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm guessing this isn't so much about what is being offered as much as how it's being offered. So, yeah. Blind bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 But TRU doesn't seem to want Minimate blind bags. They didn't take them for the Turtles, so I can't imagine they would want to employ them for an existing line like Marvel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What about the AOU Toys R Us assortment? Could that be what he's referring too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 On the other side of the spectrum from blind bags is a build-a-figure of some sort. That would demand equally packed assortments, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. On the other side of the spectrum from blind bags is a build-a-figure of some sort. That would demand equally packed assortments, of course. Maybe.

Gmonkey2k Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Or an entire wave with all Spider-verse characters like: Spider-Gwen/ Peter Parker Spider-Man w/ Spider-Ham (rocket raccoon esc.) Spider-Hulk/ Spidey 2099 British Spidey/ Ben Riley Spidey Were-Spidey/ Man-Spider And tons more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
