Lobsterman Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 "A surprise in SD." Eeeeeexcellent. Interesting answer about DC mates: "If they were interested in licensing it we'd of course listen, but we'd also have to look and see if we thought we'd be able to make a profit on the line." Does that mean for some reason Marvel mates make money and DC ones don't? Or that DC's licensing fees are too high? Either way, it doesn't sound like DST's in a huge hurry to court DCD for the license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Heh. Chuck and I are on the same page with Disney Villains. People say Disney is girly! B.S.! I mean how many girly movies have people who want to skin puppies for a coat? Or have animals murdering their own brother. Anyway It's interesting that Chuck hates MJ when that truly awful Mariko exists. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On-topic, it is odd that they stop minimates in the UK at the same time they get Doctor Who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) I doubt they'll wait until SDCC to reveal the Hulk wave -- the movie will have come and gone by then, and it's scheduled to be released in August. I'd guess the same with wave 24. Makes more sense they'd reveal those this weekend at NYCC. My chips are on a Civil War-themed two pack with minimal new sculpts. Green Goblin played a not-insignificant role as leader of the Thunderbolts in CW; seems like a good opportunity to squeeze out that Masked Goblin we saw a while back. Pairing him with a battle-damaged Iron Spidey seems like a pretty easy call. Edited April 15, 2008 by Lobsterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pairing him with a battle-damaged Iron Spidey seems like a pretty easy call. I suspect you're right, both in that Hulk mates will show at NYCC and secondly that it will be an exclusive pack at SDCC. I don't know why but I also get a feeling that we'll either see a new license preview at SDCC or failing that another wacky DST contest. If it's an exclusive, then what that pack contains is dependent on IF they will have IronMan Mates for sale at SDCC, if not then I expect any exclusives to be IM related. If they do have the regular series then perhaps we'll get a marvel fanboy fave pack perhaps that deadpool/'spymaster variant costume' two pack *EDIT* I've changed my mind it should be a Skrull 2 pack male and female... That way you could mix the parts into your existing collection and have anyone be a Skrull. Perfect for playing along with Secret Invasion and also ripe for multi pack buys... who doesn't want to make their own Skrull avengers? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. well we know that a new license will not be GI JOE, Star Wars or Indiana Jones. so what the hell could be left?

Lobsterman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I love the Skrull idea, T. And I threw up in my mouth too, MOC. I'd hope for a different character, but they already have the parts... I just figured Civil War because it corresponds with the NYCC four-pack, and they did a Zombies two-pack to go with the four-pack last year. And, we know Chuck has been diligently looking for ways to get those unproduced designs from the Target wave out. But, yeah, the skrull thing would be sweet. I guess that wouldn't be a new tooling, either -- they have a skrull headpiece already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy at least 5 or 6 of those (if I could find them for a reasonable price). I wonder what lessons DST might have learned from Minimates' past with army builders from the LOTR and BSG lines, though. I've seen the former going for dirt cheap on eBay, and the latter (Cylon 5-pack) used to peg warm my FYE. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless Chuck and his snarky answers. So, SF is dead. Ghost Rider is dead. STOP ASKING!!! Ya know, 2 of my questions got skipped. The one about Six I don't mind cause I'll find out soon enough I guess, but I really did want an answer about EUtS Lorraine. :/ Edited April 15, 2008 by TM2 Dinobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again purely for debate purposes as it's been slow here on the minimate news lately and it's always interesting to see how people 'tick'. I really hope the above was said in jest, it's hard to tell with you sometimes! If not I'd be interested to hear you explain the black and white theory a little more as frankly it's incredibly naive to think of the world that way. T. p.s. Sorry for taking things off topic!

Indeed. We shall have to continue this elsewhere. perhaps SDCC. When I eventually get to go to conventions again... *sigh* Okay people. Back on topic!
