If Godfather Minimates couldn't get off the ground, I doubt that Goodfellas would do much better. 

True, I just really want a De Niro minimate lol

Aww man Breaking Bad minimates would just make my day. Also some old movie minimates like Goodfellas or something would are pretty great too.

By the way, if you combine the Homecoming Minimate with the Doppleganger from Wave 76, it looks pretty close to the movie. Not exact, but still something.

Do we know if Hydroman comes with spare legs or just the base?

Minimates are a great product: they're small, relatively cheap, and can come with a load of accessories. With proper outreach, I think a lot of retailers would definitely sell them. I just think DST has gotten a bit lazy and is focusing its energy on the statues and whatnot. We only got one wave of endgame and nothing for far from home. Even look at the John Wick box set, it comes with the same standard guns that we've seen a million times instead of any new ones. I don't know about the end of Minimates, but it sure doesn't look good.

Interesting, mine certainly doesn't feel removable, there's no give anywhere. I'll have to carefully check again.

Update: Upon further review I can confirm the gun on mine is going nowhere without the careful application of an X-acto knife, it's definitely glued to the chest piece.

That's so odd, because when I took the chest piece off, I pushed it a little bit from the inside and it came right out. I can insert it back into the chest piece just as easily too.

The angle the arm that holds the gun attaches to the chest piece means the gun is permanently pointed at a 45 degree angle downwards and it looks bad.

By the way, the War Machine Gun is removable.

I think warmachine was based on an earlier version in the movie, not the the giant one in the final battle.

Yeah, it was this one. I still think some shoulder pads and arm gauntlets like the IW one would have made it better

I wish Ronin came with those shuriken from the movie

So far I've only found the Black Widow/Ronin and Hulk/WM sets and they look pretty good. Biggest issue I had is that War Machine is way too thinned down. Like the detail is great but he's just too skinny. Hawkeye figure is amazing though

Good luck everyone!

Also, do the movie minimates and animated share the same wic number (barcode)?

One's labeled as movie Minimates and the other one is comic.

I have been all over the island and I can’t find Wave 9, Cap, or End Game at this point. Hoping it was just a bad week. 

Really?? Wave 9 is the one thing that I can't stop seeing. All the Duane Reade's that I've gone to seem to have an abundance of them.

I called customer service and they said they couldn't locate any sets for ALL of NYC

Yeah that I understand, they did the best they could with the concept art. But now that the movie’s out, they could easily make another wave, as many other toy brands have been doing.

I'm just now realizing that the team suits we got aren't even accurate to the ones in the movie. The Minimates have a dark, greyish-silver print while the movie has them wearing super bright almost white costumes.

That’s why I’m hesitant to buy the box set. The figures kind of just look meh. Like nothing interesting just some grey figures that don’t even resemble the movie.

Ok after having seen the movie, I would love to make a sticker kit right now, but I am way too busy to do it. However, I can include a few designs with my next Luke Crate later this summer. If you would be interested in stickers, please take the following poll (and note that I only included characters that could be made using stickers, so for example Korg is not included): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqgj_ye0mLg-92WLMGGlfHkDrQxU4LR40IFgqHsbCPqvzk2Q/viewform

YES!!! That is awesome. Thanks Luke!

Man. Especially with the new trailer that dropped today, it's really unfortunate there are going to be no Minimates for this movie. 

Quick question for those that got the box set. I loved the movie and all but is the set worth it?

Traditionally, fans MIGHT wait that long, depending on the product, but retailers would generally not. Sales would suffer. 

Wait, I’m confused. The captain marvel and ant man and the wasp minimates came out months after the movie’s release. So...

Yeah I was in Massachusetts and Connecticut and visited a number of Walgreens and nothing. Has anyone ever found minimates at Rite Aid, because I know Walgreens owns a number of them?

I didn’t haha. Use a piece from The Comic Book Men boxset. 

Ahh gotcha, looks great though

I also tried to use Blob's chestpiece, but the beard won't fit on that body. 

So I customized this. With correct paint apps, storm breaker, and the Endgame Thor head, we could get something a little more accurate to what we saw in the movie. 

Man, that is spot on!

I agree - coming out of it, I was like where is this? Or that? I'm glad to be able to build all the different teammates in their quantum suits though. Things I wish we could get:

  Reveal hidden contents

Scruffy Thor head for his quantum suit

Final battle Thor and Cap suits

An Iron Man infinity gauntlet - regular and Hulk/Thanos sized
