Valo487 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 We know they're coming, Zach says he's pretty sure we're getting a LCS and TRU wave, preach!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I would love the TRU wave to be movie while the LCS wave to be comics, but we know that won't happen. So besides the main 4, who else is there?Glen's Nova Mind thing, the Collector, the main villain, who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm hoping, since the movie designs seem very close to the comics, some of these can be used as either movie or comic versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcansFury Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I just want Rocket Raccoon's tail to be easily customized for a Squirrel Girl. (i.e. no extra belts or buckles that need to be shaved off). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Both Nebula & Yondu are meant to be appearing in the film. I think i already did a sound of of names, but i'm sure we'll be seeing: Groot, Starlord, Gamora, Drax & RR. Assuming RR ends up being a full figure and not an unarticulated accessory-type figure like Snarf, and assuming we get the lead Villain - that leaves only 1 spot in a wave without army builders. If both TRU & Specialty are doing waves, then there's bound to be some double up. There's usually an overlap of 2 packs (4 figures). I suspect male leads, and figures that require a lot of tooling would end up being the double-ups (Groot, RR, Starlord & Drax). So we'd be looking a total of 12 possibly spots (11 if there's an army builder), which would actually get a fair few characters out. Having speculated on all this though, is there any confirmation that TRU are going to take these after turning down the Thor 2 wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) movie: Starlord (Red Coat/prisoner) Starlord (GotG Uniform) Gamora (Prisoner) Gamora (GotG Uniform) Drax Groot Groot (small tree seedling hopefully) Rocket Raccoon (Prisoner) Rocket Raccoon (GotG Uniform) Ronan the Accuser Korath the Pursuer Nebula Yondu Nova corpsmen The Collector Thanos (maybe) Rhomann Day Commander Rael as for comics: I hope to get at least the 2008 guardians costumes of the films cast (Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot) and comic Ronan and Gladiator because why not Edited January 13, 2014 by undeadpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Cast photo, as it seems the thread could benefit from one: I hope they choose to do Rocket as a Snarf-like figure, it will give us a chance to get more characters and he'd look silly as a regular minimate. I'd also love to have the 2008 comic version of the team, but I'm not optimistic about that given the character selection we've seen lately.

DSTZach Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'll keep you posted on this, as changes may be afoot. And I'm not sure if you all are aware, but sometimes there is a moratorium on movie-similar comic product when the movie is out, to avoid confusion. Just FYI.

karamazov80 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I bet Rocket Raccoon will be a regular sized Minimate. Just realizing after this, we'll have Stone Cold Steve Austin and Batista Minimates. If only DST would come to its senses and release that long canceled Rocky 3 set, then we would also have Hogan. And all would be right in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Agreed. While it would be nice to see another retailer step in and pick up these lines that TRU is passing on, the thought of trying to collect a niche line like Minimates at Target or Wal-Mart makes me cringe.Too bad there isn't a dedicated online Minimates retailer that would love the chance to jump at carrying some exclusive products...

HELL yes! The other guy... he has shelf warmed every single time he has been released in other lines. I'd hesitate to make him anything other than a variant.

undeadpool Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 you do realize before this film comes out, no one but comic fans knew who Drax is right? could be the reason he shelfwarms i dont think Groot, Rocket, Starlord or Gamora have had many toys either so there isnt real data on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr baghead Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I feel like I should get an Emmet mini-figure from “the Lego Movie” so he can hang out with the Star-Lord minimate and be buddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
