After seeing the movie I guess a hypothetical wave would be 

Shang-Chi & Wenwu

Katy & Death Dealer 

Xialing & Razorfist

Boxset: 

Shang-Chi 

Wenwu

*Ying Nan (Shang-Chi's aunt)

*Ying Li ( Shang-Chi's mother)

Pack in Morris microfigure

Realistically they probably would've done just one boxset and put the main characters there. Would've loved to have this film represented in my collection.

did anybody end up trying the playmobil ghostbuster stuff with minimates or any of the playmobil vehicles or building for that matter?

I'm curious about the Back to the Future Delorean set. Wonder if it scales well.

These look great. I think a Rachel Weisz pack in head would have been good too, since her suit looks almost the same as Natasha's. 

Looking back at the Aliens line, it would seem like this was the one of the most lucrative series outside of Marvel for DST. We had boxsets, counter dumps, multiple deluxe packs, even a vehicle with one variant. No other line got that treatment, I guess this is just me speaking in memoriam.

Seeing Avatar the Last Airbender and Lord of the Rings figures makes you salivate for minimate interpretations. Especially The Last Airbender, one of my favorite shows, never thought we'd be this close to potentially getting them. But those figures look great.

Don't know about writing into AskDST, they have been M.I.A. for like three months. 

Sinister-76

I read the Spider-Man Maximum Venom season doesn't start until April 2020. Interesting these came out months in advance. But I found a trailer showing some other characters.

I'm still salty they canceled those Bruce Lee minimates because those Select figures look like Bruce Lee imitators, looks nothing like him. 

Here's a concept poster and her new suit along with Red Guardian and Yelena. Looks really nice and there is concept of a white suit she will be wearing. Some interesting looks for figures.

As a subset of that Ultimate idea, an Iron Man Mark 50 from Infinity War with every weapon or attachments he used would  please me dearly. 

If only we could have Marvel Vinimates, we could do some cool 80th anniversary packs. Large characters like the Watcher, Ultimo, Fin Fang Foom and Galactus packed in with some other minimates. 

Maybe a classic Avengers set with a Giant-Man Vinimate. A Thor set with Ymir or a Frost Giant. All wishful thinking.

Sadly none of these probably will allow us to get Rescue or any new variations of characters in Endgame, to fill out the collection. I'm sure they'll be switching up looks in future movies. 

I'm excited to see minimates for these films. Shang-Chi will fill the void of the cancelled Bruce Lee minimates for me. Not to mention DST hasn't made any version of him yet.

Also not sure what villain there using for Thor 4, but I'd love to see Enchantress or Ulik.

The superior SM looks like a pretty good stand-in for the far from home suit

I think if you use the arms and legs from that Superior Spider-Man, take the torso and head from the Homecoming figure and paint the blue parts black. It could work.

Lucasfilm kind of treats Indiana Jones like the step child when it comes to merchandise. The last big releases we had were back in 2008. But I'd buy that whole line you just listed. As an Indy fan I've been starving for some new figures.

There's no retailer support. I mean most Sonic merchandise is at Walmart, Target, GameStop and formerly Toys R Us. I had to buy this set online, there was no where else to get it for me. Just feel like there wasn't enough eyeballs on the set.

That being said I'm happy this wasn't cancelled before release. I really enjoy the figures and I'm very appreciative. I was looking forward to Silver in Set 2 since his only figure was by Jazwares and a lot of fans would want him. I personally hope this just a hiatus but I fear it's not.

Id like some more M.A.X. Military figures too. Maybe based on different special forces around the world, like Rainbow Six Siege, if anyone is familiar with that game.  

Lifeguards would be nice too.

This for sure is never going to happen but an Anime/Manga license would nice. Most anime collectors have to buy very expensive import figures from our favorite series, since there is not a lot of American companies really producing them and I figure it's hard to get the licenses. But I'd love to get cheap two packs of characters from Dragon Ball, Naruto, My Hero Academia etc. Dragon Ball alone can last a while.

I guess they're timing it with the home release maybe.

My hunt is finally over too. Now I just got to get a couple of the box sets. 

Canton GA is where I found them. I cleared out that Walgreens but I can confirm they are in Georgia. 

That's good to know, I'm further down in Savannah. So I hope we get them soon.

Im sure the sash has a deeper meaning that they'll explain in sequel. It could just be fan service since Carol has always had a sash, even during her Ms. Marvel days. 

Also like how her suit is a homage to Captain Mar-Vell's suit.

Since spoilers have been allowed. Does anyone know what's a good hair piece for Endgame Captain Marvel? 

I was thinking the comic version of hers hair piece but I can't recall if she had the flowy faux hawk look.

I hope so. I don't want an incomplete Starforce team.

I think 2015/2016 was the height of Minimates we had so many lines at that time and Toys R Us was of course alive and carried most of them. Now it's just praying you get enough orders before stuff gets cancelled. I was looking forward to these.

They also fumbled with Thor. We didn't get the definitive versions of him from Infinity War or Endgame. The Infinity War figure we got didn't have the eye patch. No Stormbreaker or new suit version released. 

Then we finally got the Stormbreaker and the correct head but it came with his Quantum suit. 

And obviously his Endgame look but it's understandable since it would be a spoiler, a later released wave would've helped that though. Just a very confusing situation.
