And see, for me, the most obvious gap is the missing Cheyenne Dropships with Ferro and (Clean) Bishop. 

But, yes, Prometheus is an omission, but I did buy enough of the Shaw packs from Covenant to make at least a few of the Prometheus cast.

Anyway, I think the Phantom Big Chap is the best Xenomorph. I love the translucent aspect of him.

Does part of the argument against the sculpted head circle back around to the discussion about the space on a tool? The turtles, as I recall, still needed unique heads as the mask piece sits between two pieces of the head, right? Doing it the way it was done, though, means only 3 pieces are needed and can be reused for each turtle, as opposed to each of the 4 turtles needing their own head sculpt?

BSG, Expanse, and The Orville are all fantastic shows, BSG is one of only 2 tv shows I have watched in entirety twice through. 

Predator and Prey were great movies in the franchise, the rest, meh. Alien and Aliens are superb, and I actually enjoyed the nostalgia factor of Romulus (and I am *only* 40! 😅). I like the lore-building of Prometheus and Covenant, but I can't tell if they are supposed to be cannon, especially now with Alien: Earth. 

I would love a few @Navaan 

Please and thank you

I didn't realize the truck driver was the missing character from those Thor 2-packs. Curses heaped upon the bones of Borders for closing!!!!!!

And those beach/summer designs are drool-worthy. I love the Sandman base too!

Thank you @Barry for sharing all this stuff. So cool to see!

If it's not a booth with folks wearing custom DST shirts, it's not really worth visiting....

No SDCC for me, even though my cousin lives less than 30 minutes from the convention center and has offered me accommodations. But, I already have my tickets for NYCC again. Waiting on train prices to *hopefully* drop before booking my travel. It won't be anywhere near the same without the DST booth to hang at, though.

Is Donnie's shell actually that much smaller? Or is it just a scale issue with the other 3 in the image?

Love the art with the sculpted head, but agree the actual turtles look good with (split) Minimates heads

Really gutted by this news. Seeing Chuck, even Meyers and the rest of the crew, but especially Zach was a highlight of and major factor for attending C2E2 and NYCC. These relationships are rare, and I will miss them. After all the years attending cons, this last NYCC, I finally had a little bonding with Chuck! 🙃 Maybe he saw the writing on the wall? Zach, you've been a fantastic friend and I really hope there is a new opportunity that arises for you.

I got my first Minimates from TRU after my first set of college finals back in 2003. This community has been fantastic over the years. I am so happy they got us the classic TMNT sets (all three!). 

I don't know what else to say right now, other than I appreciate everyone who is reading this. This community is a special place.

The Wizard?

So, in the article, it mentions both Diamond Select Toys and Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles. Are these really 2 separate things? If so, how have I not known this after all these years?!

Yay and congratulations on the sale. I hope it goes smoothly and that there aren't too many overlaps on positions as identified by the buyer.

I think I can "see" all the parts, but can you share the recipes, please @Navaan?

Second the wish for more Foot! I bought an extra of each set just to have more Foot on display!

Slight Necro, but I finally got around to watching both parts of the movie. It was a Zach Snyder flick - it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I am happy with the selection of Minimates we got but would've liked to see a second set from the movie though, with Titus, Tarak, Gunnar, and Someone else. Anyone, but I would love blue swords.

HBD @buttheadsmate!

Potential solution, make glow-in-the-dark minimates. Two birds, one stone.

 

 

We already have glow-in-the-dark Minimates! And I have a couple of mine next to LED holiday lights and the Minimates glow all night long when the lights go off!

That you would be willing to buy DST? Get European sales and all the cases you would want!

As much as I want this new set to be all about the Slingers (And hey, it COULD fit, just saying)

I think it'll be a Return of the Sinister Six set with a be-suited Doc Ock, Vulture, Sandman, and Chance [anti-hero, never had a toy, fun weird design].  Here's hoping that Spidey will have some kind of battle damage.

 

Close, but not complete.

My clues from the first page still remain true. And the set is from a fairly well known comic story.

Yikes! Having met a lot of the team at cons, and remembering what happened to my friends when TRU filed, I really hope that this is not the end for the team. Even if things go smoothly during this process, I know the uncertainty can really be stressful. I wish Zach et al. and all their families the best in this transition.

This has been on my mind for a few weeks:

This story was (famously?) what was handed to Spider-Man: The Animated Series as the bible for some reason. I'm pretty sure things like Peter and Mary Jane's TAS outfits appear in this, that one "Ultimate Spider-Slayer" Smythe was in this and only this story. There's also Electro AND/or Scorpion. There's that Spider-Slayer on the fourth cover, there's the other Spider-Slayers on the first, second and fifth covers. We already had ONE Spider-Slayer (Silver Age one) and this is filled with other variations. Mary Jane, Aunt May, Flash Thompson, Liz Allan and Harry Osborn (as Green Goblin) all have back-up stories. There's even Peter Parker's long-lost parents (yeah, we're not getting them). We didn't too long ago have Bagley Spider-Man (and Black Cat) though but so far this could fit what little clues we have.

 

 

I only see one familiar face there. But I love learning the connection to the animated series.

I loved that show as a kid but feel like they never re-aired one character's introduction episodes - maybe too weird that he turned Peter old and Aunt May hit on Peter then. Unless I am miss-remembering.

I can't spill the beans! A spark might ignite the fumes!

Unless another character smells it first...

That's right! One of those is in the set. So, now I remember 4 of the 5...! 😅
