SCW Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 They're not canceling the TMNT show as much as they're ending it and starting a new show. But it's still on the air with new episodes for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 TRU dropping Minimates is not a step away from Minimates, just from TMNT. When product stops selling, they know it's time to reset, and so does Nick. Comic shops not ordering TMNT (and other lines) is slightly more concerning, but it may simply be the wrong product at the wrong time. We'll continue to offer unique assortments and box sets of Minimates to comic shops and to TRU. And Walgreens is expanding what they take, so that is another outlet to consider. Hot Topic takes things occasionally, as well. And Target is taking some Kingdom Hearts figures, maybe they'll take some Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything that indicates the doom of the line in this. If anything I see it as a less is more and stronger. The fact that they managed to get the NetFlix Marvelverse going in some cases show unseen I think is a strong factor. We couldn't even get the SHIELD people made. Also the expansion to Walgreens is a great sign especially since TRU is closing stores while Walgreens is expanding. Not to mention Gotham being made. Are there franchises that I would love to see? Absolutely (Buffy, GOT, Disney, CW Verse) and some resurrected (DC Minimates, MAX, Pirates) but I don't think the line is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are continuing TMNT, just in a different direction then the current incarnation. Actually you said they "are" canceling the latest cartoon series. I assume you just had a typo.

I'm still bummed we never got Game of Thrones Minimates and to a lesser extent, Harry Potter. Both major franchises with tons of characters and looks. I don't really know why we need so many waves of NBX (a single film), but I guess there's enough interest to keep it going...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Harry Potter could've worked so well. You could pretty much get everything you need out of the line with a four pack made per movie (or book). One of the Goldeneye Trio per pack, one DADA teacher, two supporting characters... might miss out on someone like Tonks or some of the Weasley family and maybe a bigger Death Eater or two, but you'd have almost everyone important.

MisterPL Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 With talk of a Harry Potter series on HBO, I don't think that franchise is going away anytime soon. Game of Thrones Minimates would be killer. Star Wars would be grounds for divorce. Just give me Planet of the Apes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a wave per movie could have worked too. Yes we'd probably get 8 Of the Trio but if they could be packed with killer accessories each movie it'd be worth it. Harry could have his broom in one set, hedwig in another, etc. and don't get me started on how bad ass a 2.5" base mate Hagrid would be. Maybe he could even come with a motorcycle. Having Only one of the trio per boxset could lead to what happened with turtles imo. People might be like "this is cool but I want all 3 of them" unless you solicit them all together. Damnit now I have to watch the movies again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damnit now I have to watch the movies again. If I threw it together you'd solicit the first three movies worth and in that you'd get the GoldenTrio, Snape, Dumbledore, Hagrid, Lupin, and Sirius with a few others. The only HUGE character that I save for the later sets are Voldemort and Draco Malfoy. Malfoy is in Half Blood Prince and Voldemort is in Hallows.

The Scarlet Spider Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) @Trekker 42 ahh I got ya Your idea probably would make more sense, since I'm not sure DST would want to go all out with waves but I can't help but want 60-70 Harry Potter mates from a wave for each movie. Then we could get the supporting cast like Lucious, Tonks, Neville, most if not all of the Weasleys, Sirius, Lupin, maybe even a Peter Pettigrew, and Tom Riddle as well not to mention maybe a Cedric and a TRU exclusive of James and Lily with the mirror of erised Oy now I know how much some people want that DC license back.

Mirymate Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Okay... so are we still thinking that the sky is indeed falling or has this morphed into a new version of the "Licenses You Wish Had Minimates" thread?

I would be in some serious financial issues if they started making Harry Potter or Star Wars Minimates.
