Heinous Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 You know, I think minimates usually cover the main characters, where as ML will skip over villains and supporting characters. I think fightthedead's list pretty much supports that. It's just a bunch of civilians or minor characters. The warriors three are big in the comics but not really in the movies. Korg is the one that I think would be most wanted off that list from a retail point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I also like to see Minimates of other Marvel movie characters we missed. Not just for their cool design but also in the hopes that we would eventually get comic book characters. Faundral (Thor) Hogun (Thor) Kurse (Thor: The Dark World) Justin Hammer (Iron Man 2) (redo) Coldblood (Iron Man 3) Cosmo (Guardians of the Galaxy) Celestials (Guardians of the Galaxy) Original Human Torch (Captain America: the first Avenger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I might be interested in something like you guys are describing, but I’m pretty sure if DST did something like this, they’d just end up making new versions of the main characters, and I’ve got enough MCU Iron Man, Cap, Thor and Hulk ‘mates. I am bummed we’ll likely never receive the Warriors Three now, but I doubt this line would change that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Retailers will insist on the most popular characters, of course. DST can't do anything about that demand. Hopefully it allows them to use those characters as anchors for assortments that feature new or improved characters like a new suit from Iron Man 3 and an Armored Whiplash or a 4-pack of a one-eyed Thor with the Warriors Three.

FightTheDead118 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I’d be perfectly game for something like this, even if i had to buy the same character again, especially if it allowed for older, shodier figures like TFA Cap or the older Iron Man armors to be done in the newer style, but I can see why alot of people wouldn’t be on board for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTiger95 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I was thinking a boxset of some Stan Lee's cameos would be funny. Who doesn't want the "Hugh Hefner" Stan Lee from Iron Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I would be concerned that making characters from past movies could eat into the number of comic minimates we get. That aside, the lists people have made also show that DST has done a pretty good job covering the movies in the first place. Outside of updating some of the older Iron Man armors (III, IV, VI especially) and getting a proper sculpt for the MK III War Machine I don't know that there are a lot of figures that would really sell me on a set.

MisterPL Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm willing to postpone one assortment of comic 'mates for a kick-ass wave of Marvel Stud10s 'mates. A 4-pack for specialty (Thor and the Warriors Three) and exclusive series for Walgreens and TRU should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tragedy of twice cancelled Hogun and Fandral leaves a hole in the MCU minimate line. They were in all 3 Thor movies and will probably never be made.

The biggest pull of Minimates is that the line has current and past comic incarnations of characters that can't be found anywhere else in action figure form. It would be a shame to miss out on an expansion of comic characters for more tired movie characters. Not to say that I wouldn't mind having the warriors three, but everyone knows that we would get some repeats to help push a ten year wave. Steady the course with comic characters and loyal will support you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Comic-based Marvel Minimates enjoy the luxury of being able to harvest from any era at any time. MCU-based Minimates do not. This is a one-time opportunity to take advantage of a licensor-driven strategy to support new product based on the entire MCU. No one's talking about totally ditching comics in favor of film. It's one of the rare times when we can have both. Even Hasbro's on board: http://news.toyark.com/2018/02/13/marvel-legends-marvel-cinematic-universe-10th-anniversary-figures-285525 Comics wouldn't have to be eliminated, just put on pause for one assortment. Think of it as an apology for Series 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Look at what Hasbro is doing though. That's the model, what most people seem to be hoping for just isn't very likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hasbro is wisely leveraging much more detailed toolings. Yes, they're offering the "same old Cap" with a new (to Hasbro) Crossbones but there's no reason DST couldn't offer a Decathlon Spidey with Ned since the only Spider-Man they'll likely offer in the Infinity War assortment is Iron Spider. These Marvel Stud10s SKUs could also be a way to complement that film, allowing DST to offer characters like one-eyed Thor (a tampo change) with Kurse.

TENIME_art Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I have never wanted movies figures in either Minimates or Marvel Legends at the cost of comic figures, even though I'm not as big a fan (or collector for ML). But I am super tired of comic fans of both lines wanting movie figures to stop being made because they don't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
