Gmonkey2k Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's coming up pretty quick. Does DST have any exclusives planned? I know Funko has already revealed a massive number of exclusives, and others revealing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk13 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm interested to see what, if any, exclusives will be at NYCC. It seems like we've been seeing fewer exclusives and no promos at cons as of late. Also, didn't DSTChuck mention that we will get something different than the zombie box set that we've seen the last few years? Maybe we will find that out soon as well.

MisterPL Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Still holding out hope for a Marvel Monsters set for Halloween. But we'll probably get a Legion of Monsters if only because 1) DST has to get more use out of that Man-Thing sculpt, and 2) Ghost Rider is kind of a big deal now on ABC.

NYCC is about 2 weeks away, so I imagine, sooner rather than later, we'll see what DST plans are. I'm not expecting much though, considering the luckster (IMO at least) SDCC packs. I just hope we get something comic-related. 2 hours ago, pk13 said: I'm interested to see what, if any, exclusives will be at NYCC.

I think Zach said that what's replacing the zombie pack this year are the two Netflix box-sets. 1 hour ago, MisterPL said: Still holding out hope for a Marvel Monsters set for Halloween.

I sure would love the above four-pack, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Not that a Legion of Monster pack is more likely. DST generally tends to stay away from Supernatural-esque Marvel stuff. To be honest, I'd be happy with something comics related that's rather modern. I'm dying for some ANAD mates, and while that's not feasible for a 4-Pack, I'd like something like, say, a Secret Avengers 4-Pack. Or a Street-Level one. Even a Spider-Man one with characters like modern Black Cat, Kaine, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'd like to see a modern Champions box set exclusive (Kamala Khan, Chulk, Tyclops, and Viv), but maybe that would make more sense as wider-release item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I'd be a huge fan of that, as these characters do nothing for me. There are certain ANAD costumes I'd love to see, though, namely Doom's new Iron Man armour.

I'd quite like a Kamala Khan minimate, but the others are mostly just there because they'd make sense as inclusions since the team seems to be pretty heavily publicised. I'd definitely like to see some more ANAD/Marvel NOW! (again)/Whatever it is now, especially the remaining members of Avengers, Steve Rogers Cap and Infamous Iron Man.

There are enough ANAD designs to fill out an LCS and TRU wave, if you ask me. There are some I'd like to see more than others, but for the most part, the ANAD redesigns are great IMO.

DSTZach Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 No exclusive sets for NYCC. I think the two comic covers are for this show, not sure if we're selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Well, that's a bummer. I was hoping for a Cap-related box-set, what with Civil War turning out great and all. Something like USAgent, WW3 Red Skull, Sharon Carter & Modern Baron Zemo would've made for an awesome 4-Pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have concerns about their actual promotional value vs. cost. When a guy comes up every year and asks for one of those "little guys", and admits he's gotten them for years but has never paid for any others and doesn't know their name, you start to question the investment. 2 hours ago, Kostisfire said: Well, that's a bummer.

Working on a possible comic four-pack for 2017, but for comic shops. Not Cap, though. Not a ton of Avengers in 2017. Oh, and we may have some new action stand packs at the show, we tweaked the pack a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of Avengers doesn't sound too bad either. There are many corners of the MU that still have potential. Even a Spider-Man wave would be nice, considering the Sin-Eater one was years ago. Needles to say, I'm hoping for an ANAD one at some point (gotta get that Iron Doom). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvis497 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Is anybody attending this year? I was planning on it but the ticket buying process was... not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I haven't gone for a couple years now. It used to be cost effective for me, because I can get a pro pass (librarian perk!), and I had family that lived in the city. But now they've jacked up the pro price, and I no longer have a place to stay. But even ignoring those two factors the con had become so big it really wasn't all that much fun anymore.
