MINI_MYTE Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) 9 hours ago, DSTZach said: It has definitely shipped to comic shops. Billing date was November 9, and there are very few cases left in inventory. If anyone's store was expecting them and has not received them, that store should probably look into their order. Here's what was released at comic book shops for the month of November according to Preview World's website: November 2, 2016 : No minimates November 9, 2016: APC with LT Gorman, Antimatter B9 vinimate, Dutch vinimate and Predator vinimate November 16, 2016: Netflix Daredevil minimate box set and Netflix Jessica Jones minimate box set November 23, 2016: No minimates scheduled to ship this week. Now if you look at this page from Toychest news, it says that the Predator vinimates shipped to stores on Oct 26, 2016 but in fact they showed up 2 weeks later. The Predator wave 3 minimates are listed as having showed up in stores on November 9, 2016, but if you click the link above you can see what actually showed up that week. I find it hard to believe that they showed up in comic shops and not one member here (at the Multiverse) or on any of the FB minimate collecting pages have posted finding any. I guess they'll show when they show. Edited November 23, 2016 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I really don't know what has been going on with the ship dates. I have also been seeing these release dates that have not materialized when stated (more with non-Minimate items), but the inventory indicates that they are mostly gone, so maybe they'll show up this week, or next.

TENIME_art Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Any suggestion on how to make Hawkins' hat fit better? The riser sculpted to the head peg is annoying. Am I gonna hafta bust out my Dremel and try to grind it down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattallica Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 i suppose you could go the easier opposite way and slice a slab off the top of his head, that should give you the same effect, and can be done with a exacto or razor blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why they made the hat piece sit so high on the head like that. It has really taken away from those two figures because now they don't look quite right.

Mysterious Stranger Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 In the movie Dillon's hat stands up higher. It has a fresher, starched, out of the box look like its brand new and hasn't seen any action. So it sitting higher on Dillon's head kinda works. But Hawkins' hat is beat up and softer, clearly he's been wearing it a while so it fits his head better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I don't know. I think they both look weird because their hair doesn't go all the way down like it normally does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I just opened mine last night after getting them from Luke's. It's hard to believe how much mileage DST has gotten out of three films. I know there are a couple repeats in this series but the variants are all welcome in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) We're finally putting out Hanzo, and we showed art for a few of them at a panel: Poncho, Isabelle, Lambert, Anna, the rest of the Lost Tribe... Plus an army builder, who'll be at specialty and TRU! Very exciting. No Dutch, which is a first. Edited December 22, 2016 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) An armybuilder?! I'm intrigued. Predator hounds perhaps? And I think you've run out of Dutch variants.

Mysterious Stranger Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) The Lost Tribe from Predator 2 includes - Elder, Shaman, Warrior (which we've already gotten) Boar, Snake, Stalker, Lost, Guardian, and Scout. So that's 3 2-packs. Anna, Isabelle and Hanzo make 1 1/2 more 2-packs. Throw in Poncho and Lambert, the Tracker from Predators and his Hound and I can see the breakdown being something like this... Specialty Boar / Snake Lost / Hound Poncho / Anna Isabelle / Stalker TRU Hanzo / Tracker Scout / Hound Lambert / Guardian Edited December 22, 2016 by Mysterious Stranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Maybe it's the Guerrilla soldiers from the first film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
