MisterMiracle Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I fished my wish: They look pretty good together. I think I'll definitely pick up a Stay-Puft to go with the Ghostbusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 If DC Minimates are part of our current license, or definitely happening because of Vinimates, I have not been told. At the same time, I would not say that the existence of them hinges on the success of Vinimates, either. I don't know what Vinimates people are seeing on clearance, but we have a lot of new, arguably stronger licenses now, and plenty of retailer support for them, so I think they have a bright future. 13 hours ago, Trekker 42 said: Kingdom Hearts huh? Well it certainly kicks f**king ass, but it totally had a new game release. YOU LIED TO US. BUT ITS OKAY BECAUSE IT MEANS KINGDOM HEARTS MINIMATES. WHICH IS AMAZING EVEN IF I REALLY WAS HOPING FOR GOD OF WAR. Not sure I would count the mostly repackaged KH 2.8 as a new game, but I'm also not even sure I knew about it when I said that, so fair enough. I'm not counting KH3, which has no release date. 12 hours ago, Gmonkey2k said: I feel like i'm the only person that does like KH. Not sure if you meant "does" or "doesn't," but either way I don't think you're alone! Plenty of lovers and haters here. I personally don't get what there is not to like about it, since it casts a wide net, but hopefully the designs and/or characters capture everyone's interest. I've never played, and would not call myself a fan, but famous cartoon characters, movie characters and anime-type character work for me!

The Scarlet Spider Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) This is teen me's dream license, Zach. Can you tell us if it'll span all of the games (hopefully) I have trust issues with jumping into toy lines when I'm not sure about the longevity and run of them. That's one of the reasons I'm fully on board with Marvel. Edited February 20, 2017 by The Scarlet Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) This is the closest thing to anime styled minimates, so I'm happy about that. Are Final Fantasy characters being done as well? Since I heard they appear in the game. Edited February 20, 2017 by RedTiger95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...you're telling me there's a chance?! Yeahhhhh! Toys R Us clearanced down the Ghostbusters Vinimates and Think Geek clearanced down their Predator (and I want to say Alien) Vinimates. There always seems to be the same amount every time I go to those places. I know we can't have Marvel Minimates that are over 2" tall but is there a way to get Marvel Vinimates or is that off the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 No Marvel Vinimates planned. I assume for the same kinds of license restrictions that keep us from doing DC Minimates. We work with what we have. I believe the KH license is for KH1, or at least that is our initial focus. We have four waves of 2-packs planned out, including TRU exclusives. Hopefully that's incentive enough for people to give it a chance. I believe FF characters are part of it, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmaster12 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I really hope the line expands to cover the other games. Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth By Sleep are two of my favorite games ever, so I'd be super bummed if we don't get Sora and Riku in their KH2 costumes or Aqua. Still, that's a fairly good range of potential figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 So is Gotham done? Nothing was shown at Toy Fair. With no DC minimates I was hoping it would continue since the show is getting more "comic-like" with the character costumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Am I the only one who noticed National Lampoon's Vacation merch? Is it too much to hope for minimates, or at the least, vinimates? I just so happened to write into ask DST about this property......... Also, are Elf mates still happening? was hoping to see some on display.

That could cover a lot of ground with 4 waves, but I would expect a Sora, Donald, and Goofy variant in almost every wave. This also means Organization IIIX is out, so slight bummer there. Maybe they'll make the tiny heartless a snarf-esque choice to save some main slots. Still so thankful to be getting this. Cloud sounds so possible.

irishcelt444 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hey Zack I don't post here often, I tend to lurk but when I saw you guys were doing KH Minimates I just had to come in and say thank you. This has been a pipe dream of mine ever since I started collecting 'mates back in TRU Wave 8. Do you know if you guys are able to do Heartless (the enemies of the game) or is it just Disney and main characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot say with full confidence that all news has been conveyed to the populace by the media, but given that said gathering ended several hours ago, I would gather that no more news shall be forthcoming, by your leave. Dark Tower, Alien Covenant, Kingdom Hearts, Iron Fist, Spider-Man Homecoming, TMNT Classic, GOTG2 Ego and Ayesha, NBX Series 4 2-packs... I think that covers it.

pk13 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I really liked this Toy Fair for DST. I can't wait to start adding the classic TMNT sets to my collection and the Kingdom Hearts announcement is nothing short of awesome. I never could get into the KH games, but I love the Final Fantasy series, (well, up to 12 at least, haven't played any since then). The thought of getting FF characters in Minimate form is just so cool. And the Disney stuff will be gravy. Pure Tron gravy. The only problem I saw was the glaring lack of announcements or prototypes for a 10 wave assortment of Twin Peaks minimates. I'm just chalking that up to it being a busy show and those no good prototype painters not finishing up in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
