MisterPL Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I’m now that much closer to having a clean Bride from Kill Bill. And I suddenly want to make a Green Hornet Minimate to go with Kato. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 These were due to be released in June and they're just being canceled now? Given manufacturing and shipping times, I guess it only takes a couple months to go from approved designs to retail. The loss of the Kingdom Hearts assortment is a bummer for this Captain Jack fan but given how poorly it was received when solicited, I'm not shocked.

fwoosheyman Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 If this is true then minimates are essentially dead. The Castlevania minimates aren’t gonna happen and if Bruce Lee/KH are both dead there’s nothing but a John Wick boxset and Marvel. Walgreens, the only retail seller, has nothing the rest of the year after only one Endgame wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Bruce Lee is bad, but let's face it, that box set was always a bit of a reach. But Kingdom Hearts not being able to get enough orders for Wave 3 (and presumably Wave 4) is really bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padrino Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 This is disappointing. I was looking forward to these. Kingdom Hearts less so. Never played the game and had no real interest in them. The only one I was interested in was Maleficent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermatt Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I sure hope this "cancelation" is just a rumor. I was really lookin forward to these minimates. Well if they are canceled then i'm just gonna have to make my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) If Bruce Lee and Kingdom Hearts are indeed cancelled, then Marvel Wave 77, the Captain Marvel boxset (fingers crossed) and John Wick 2 boxset are the only properties currently in production. Alien and Predator are done, nothing in the works for NBX, and Sonic the Hedgehog appears to have been D.O.A. Nothing new has been announced for Walgreens past Marvel Animated Wave 10. Zach did say that Marvel 78 is moving forward for preorder, I think next month, so anyone even remotely interested in 90's X-Factor needs to preorder multiple sets if possible. DST should be doubling down on Marvel releases to fill the void and build consumer confidence in the brand. If these other licenses are failing to bring enough preorders, then focus all development on the one constant license that has proven results and a dedicated fanbase. Take a year or two off from trying to get other licenses in Minimate form and just refocus on what we know works.

Padrino Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Any official word from DST on the cancellation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think canceled in Previews is about as official as it gets, DST doesn't usually say much unless it comes up in Ask DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
