DSTZach Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I am still not sure that this wasn't all a plan by Mattalica to get me to announce unannounced Minimates lines. But we're actually looking at a major video game license. We'll see how it goes. Not sure if we're still going to try Caddyshack Minimates, or National Lampoon's Vacation. Fingers crossed. Kingdom Hearts will be very cool when it's ready. Working on a kind of cool expansion to the Marvel license, not sure when or how it will be offered.

The Scarlet Spider Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Cool expansion on Marvel? Video game? Awesome! Vehicles? Deluxe sets? What kind of video game is it? At least say like platformer, rpg, first person shooter or third person shooter, etc >.< I'm dying of excitement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 No. Never-before-made video game license. Not sure how you'd classify it, TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmaster12 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 It's always good news to hear that Kingdom Hearts is still coming along. Excited for the possible new mystery game, too. My initial hope is something like Overwatch, but I'll save speculation for later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 It's probably not Injustice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Tetris has had merchandise, though. Unless Zach meant "never made by DST before" as opposed to "never made by any company ever." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) A Marvel expansion sounds interesting. Maybe older cartoons? It doesn't sound like we're going to get MvCI 'mates, though, which is a shame. Edited August 28, 2017 by BuffaloDelorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Like Elf, a couple of Christmas Vacation Minimates boxsets at Christmas time seems like a no-brainer to me. Maybe in 2019 for the 30th(!) aanniversary? Include a "Build-A-Christmas tree" between the 2 sets, throw in lots of accessories like presents, a deflated Christmas turkey, Wally World eggnog glasses, Squirrel accessory (mold exists), Snots minifig...etc. Set #1 - Clark (with alternate parts for Santa Clark) - Ellen - Rusty - Audrey Set #2 - XMas Decorating Clark - Cousin Eddie (with alternate bathrobe parts) - Uncle Lewis - Aunt Bethany Edited August 28, 2017 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Caddyshack mates? Oh please please do! I'm not usually one for properties with all civilian mates and no one in a costume or uniform but the thought of having Rodney and Ted Knight minimates would make them a must buy for me. This is now my most wanted new property. LOL A four pack with Rodney, Ted Knight, Bill Murray, and the gopher would work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I am going to take a shot-in-the-dark guess at the video game license. I think it will be Red Dead Redemption 2. The first game sold over 10 million copies and is considered one of the greatest games of all time. The highly anticipated sequel is coming out in the Spring, which is perfect timing for a Minimate release that has not been solicited yet. The characters are all human, which works better for Minimates than something like Sonic or Kirby. Also the game is hard to classify - there isn't really a video game category for open world westerns, and the game has elements of action, adventure, shooter, and horror games. Perhaps it would even be the first step in a collaboration between DST and Rockstar that could also include Grand Theft Auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Nope, in an odd twist the new video game property will be Minimate versions of Lego dimension characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe we have Christmas Vacation, possibly due to other companies' licensing, but we have the original Vacation. Honestly not sure what our plan is for that license, we've done some glassware so far. Game is NOT Red Dead Redemption, but I'd love more gunfighters.

The Scarlet Spider Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) hopefully the licensing expansion for marvel is Maximates and/or vehicles but I doubt that. Hmmmm what game is hard to classify. The Arkham series? Edited August 29, 2017 by The Scarlet Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
