nandoninny Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) so, i don't want to spoil anything for anyone -- but with the captain marvel pictures released today i'm excited about the Minimates that are sure to follow!! Assuming we can find any at walgreens i'm hoping there are at least 8 figures (4 sets at walgreens and a comic book box set that has 2 exclusives). again, i don't want to spoil anything but i think one of the pictures would make for an excellent SDCC box set -- something a casual fan wouldn't care about but collectors would love. if you want to see the pictures -- here is a link: (the link itself contains a spoiler so i've hidden it) Spoiler https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/09/05/10-photos-from-captain-marvel-skrull-mar-vell-and-ronan/ the sdcc boxset i would love is the 6th picture in the series, or here: https://www.bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/captainmarvel6.jpg#main Edited September 5, 2018 by nandoninny hide spoilers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 There's enough for two full assortments, especially with the Skrulls. The trick is getting retailers interested. That should be easier now that they're not competing with TRU but... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Walgreens is going to keep carrying Minimates? I was under the impression they cancelled their contract. [/sarcasm] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I wonder if it's possible that this movie will only have a Walgreens assortment, since Ant-Man and the Wasp was only at specialty. If not, I think it's most likely to be a specialty box set and Walgreens wave, so 10 unique figures. I could see some of the characters in these pictures being made as Wave 60-style head swaps, especially since they're mostly pretty obscure.

She can easily be in two assortments. A 4-pack like the Crazy 88s isn't a bad idea, taking advantage of the uniforms and offering different noggins, encouraging multiple purchases for army builders. Nah. That's a terrible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm not yet sold on the idea of wanting all of the characters that wear similar uniforms though I can imagine it happening. I doubt it's going to happen. I just hope DST stops and reconsiders how they're offering movie minimates because I don't think the last few movie waves have worked all that well.

TENIME_art Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The head was upside down. I'm hoping for Korath, and for his skintone to be similar enough to a past sleeveless Minimate's so I can just throw his head & some bare arms on a Sakaaran for his GotG look.

thereasonsy Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I would love these mates and I hope they do them but I wouldn't be surprised if they just add in a Carol/Skrull into Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Since DST has never skipped an MCU movie I'm confident we're going to see something. The questions are more how many characters, where, and how many duplicates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Skipping the MCU's first film with a female lead would be bad. Social media would have a conniption. (Well, social media IS a conniption but you know what I mean.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 There was no "Rey debacle." There were plenty of Rey action figures on shelves in September of that year. The only problem was that, as with many toy lines, retailers didn't order enough to satisfy the unexpected demand once the film finally hit in December. There's been Rey merchandise collecting dust ever since thanks to overcompensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 That's a very optimistic rendering of the situation. Still, I think Wonder Woman is a better comparison here and those figures did okay, certainly no worse than BvS or JL. Plus we can already see there are a number of interesting designs to work with so they shouldn't have to resort to Brie Larson in a jacket to fill out the assortment.

Freaqualizer Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 As long as I get Captain Marvel and Black Adam, i’ll be happy. I wouldn’t mind a Billy Batson. Give me a two pack of Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr. and i’d be set! Gee jolly i’m Looking forward to these minimates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 That's my concern too. The last really desirable army builder was the Ultron drone and that wasn't easy to army build even with single packs. If these Skrulls are truly army builders I hope DST can do a better job at making them available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 you can army build skrulls using anything though -- they're shape changers. but seriously, yeah, i'd love to at least get a box set of skrulls. or an army dump like the good old days. just no blind bags please. but it seems the popularity just isn't there anymore. we're lucky to get a box set or two. as for civilian Carol -- i'd love one w/ the NIN shirt!!!!

BuffaloDelorean Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Pictures of the Captain Marvel ML figures have shown up. Nothing really surprising, but I think it's safe to say we'll see them as minimates. Edited September 17, 2018 by BuffaloDelorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
