    Spoilers :D

    Despite my omnipresence :rolleyes: on this forum I originally avoided any BSG thread for quite some time , I had every BSG 'mate release way before I'd seen an episode of the show.  What a show !

    I got into the show because of the Minimates. It’s one of only 2 tv series I have watched in its entirety twice through. Such good character development and just good sci-fi

    It'd be great if the Nightmare Before Christmas characters had a variety of expressions that intentionally lent themselves to stop-motion.

    As someone who has done Minimate Stop-Motion, this would be amazing! Closest I was able to come was using a couple different Tony Stark heads and swapping them back and forth.

    I hope it opens the door for more sets from the previous movies. Do a 6-pack from each of the Avengers' solo series:

    • Iron Man Mk III (or 4 with the sunglasses), Iron Monger, Whiplash Mk II, IM3 Final Battle Killian, IM3 Final Battle Pepper, War Machine
    • Thor, Loki, Sif, Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg,

    I am excited to see what the packaging will look like. I remember other SDCC threads were we were lamenting that the packaging couldn't be more "special" than a regular 4-pack. I think this is a good chance to see what DST can do. 

    The NBX select package that I saw, with the Black Light feature, was awesome! If Zero is glow-in-the-Dark like he looks, I hope we have a single black light to highlight him (assuming he is included as I don't see him listed in the description).

    I appreciate that these sets give folks a new chance at these old figures, while also giving long-time collectors a new packaging in which to display the set. 

    And @DSTZach, we got the witches already. Don't think I remember Frankenstein's Monster, although the parts should be there already.

    Remember that Iron Man 10-pack we got as an exclusive? This seems like the perfect time to bring that format back!

    B&W Wanda and Vision, Halloween Wanda and Vision, Final Looks Wanda and Vision, Monica, Agnes, Darcy, and Woo.

    TBH, I haven't seen the show yet, but from what I know, this would seem like a good assortment and would mirror what POP! was able to offer.

    Shipped the MMMV and GB promos today. 

    And the crazy comes from the launch of the new DST website (check it out), a slight change to my official responsibilities, and planning an alternative to the traditional (and cancelled) Toy Fair.

    But there is an announcement coming that will be exciting for MM collectors. It got slightly delayed, but I think we're looking at late Feb.

    Hey Zach, I got an email saying that I earned gems from the site. Is this legit? I didn't think I had created an account on the new site yet. 

    What changes to your official responsibilities? Are you now the brand ambassador? Do'er of things? Congrats (hopefully).

    Please let it be Star Wars!!! I am in for cases of Star Wars products! Or Arrowverse, finally.

    It still feels like the correct answer. Although I also feel like Deadpool 2 is more likely given that we’d get more interesting designs like Cable and Domino as options alongside the nigh inevitable Deadpool and Colossus

    Based on the clues, it's likely NTW, not colossus, but yes, Deadpool 2 is the probable movie set.

    That was a blast to get those (this mate) "in person" that year at C2E2. Insert shameless self promotion of my stop motion video:

     

    The new announcement intrigues me.

    Could an "archive" section be added to the new site, @DSTZach? So folks could see what has come out in the past?

    And how the frack do we get LukesToyStore and the Multiverse higher on that Minimate search result page!?!?!?!?

    For a variant like that we would have to commit to 3000 sets, which is far higher than we could ever sell. For any exclusive nowadays it would have to be 1000 sets or less in order for us to be able to sell through, and DST can't justify a run that low at the factory. We have worked with them on different options, and the numbers just don't work. The only reason we were able to get 500 of the Multiple Man sets is because it was the exact same figure as in the full wave. I wish things were different, but it looks like the only way we are getting another Marvel exclusive is if it was an army builder 2-pack of a figure that is already in the wave. And unfortunately DST doesn't seem to be putting army builders in waves anymore, with Multiple Man being the lone exception across many recent series. 

    Could you do a kickstart for an army pack, Luke? Get the funds secured ahead of time and then order? If you offered incentives for supporting like sticker kits to make alternate characters or females, etc. I think you would encourage folks to order more.

    Something like a Shield vs Hydra pack, where each characters has an alternate look and a weapon or accessory.

    • If you ordered 6 packs you would get a sticker kit with alternate faces
    • If you ordered 12 packs you would get an additional sticker kit that included female torsos and faces
    • If you ordered 24 packs you would get an additional assortment of weapons
    • 36 packs would get you a backdrop
    • etc.

    Is this something that would even be feasible? I would be in for a lot of these, especially depending on the bonus incentives.

    I know kickstarters are taboo here, but some sort of pre-order might work for this.

    I (safely) hit up 21 Walgreens stores in the greater Madison area last week looking for 'new' mates. The newest ones I found were the Venom/Hammerhead wave and the Gamerverse mates.

    I did not see any of the Doc Ock/Black Panther Quest mates, the Miles/Ghost wave, the X-Men wave, or the Falcon/Bucky Mates. 

    Many stores still have some of the earlier animated waves and Thor Ragnarok mates. Selections ranged from 2 full columns of mates to only 4 or 5 packs.
