hellpop Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Realized today that Toyfair is right around the corner; Google tells me it's the 18th to the 21st. I know we're talking about stuff in the new licenses thread, but I thought we could speculate about this show in general. I expect to see: -Watchmen; -Pirates: -Spider Man:Homecoming; -Guardians of the Galaxy 2; -the mystery video game wave; -the next Marvel Comics wave: Anything else on the radar I'm missing? Muppets? Gotham? NBX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 There's a license extension happening as well. I'm expecting Alien: Covenant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) IIRC, the VG license is top secret, and wouldn't be unveiled for qite a while. Likewise, I'm not expecting the next comic wave to show up. Maybe Ragnarok, if we're lucky. And TBH, Ragnarok has the potential to be a great wave. If it also gets a TRU tie-in, it'll really help with the lack of Thor characters (even if they're in MCU form). I'm expecting something like this: Thor/ Valkyrie Hulk/ Executioner Loki/ Hela Odin/ Doctor Strange And hopefully the Warriors 3 & Sif at TRU. Grandmaster & Surtur would've been cool as well, but I don't see them being made. Grandmaster could've fit into the LCS wave, but I don't see DST passing on a Doctor Strange, especially with all the tooling they've already done. At least he'll have the yellow gloves, so there's that. Edited February 6, 2017 by Kostisfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 We could see some new TMNT hopefully. Zach said there is one new movie licence that hasn't been revealed yet, so that could maybe be at Toyfair as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Yeah, whatever's next for TMNT. I forgot that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCW Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm pretty pumped to see what's new. Hopefully some really cool TMNT stuff and some hot new licenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Paco Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I could enjoy some Planet of the Apes MiniMates (Classic not the new ones). I would like to see some of the classic cartoons done in MiniMates form since we are getting Muppets. We could do the characters from Hanna Barbera (Yogi, Boo boo, Grape Ape, the gangs from Laff-a-lympics:The Scooby Doobies, The Yogi Yahooeys and the Really Rottens). Then we could get the Blue Falcon and Dyno-Mutt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Zach said that the VG license is evergreen, that it hasn't had a new game in 2016, and would not have one in 2017. So RE is out on account of RE7. On 30/10/2016 at 6:37 AM, DSTZach said: It's not a new game (2016/2017), but it is a big, evergreen franchise. At least that's how I took it. Maybe he meant that it's not a new IP. Either way, Mortal Kombat and Assassin's Creed have been shot down already.

Kostisfire Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've got my money on MGS, but that's mostly because I can't think of anything else that fits. We'll see I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 I would also love to see more 'mates based on animated properties. Cartoon characters translate very well to Minimates, and some of my all-time favorites (Thundercats, Peter Pan, NBX) come from animation. I think it's an area DST hasn't fully explored. I'd love to see some more classic cartoon characters, and some anime, starting with Battle of the Planets and Voltron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kotter Comics Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I would love to see a classic Hanna Barbera super hero lineup (Herculoids, Space Ghost, the Incredibles, and Mightor. Blue Falcon and Dynomutt could fit in as well). Now seems like the time with Future Quest being published by DC, but I would imagine these characters might the fall under a DC license... Battle of the Planets would also be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
