I refuse to get Usagi Yojimbo without Gen, Kitsune, Tomoe-Ame, Lord Noriyuki, Mariko, and Jotaro. At the least.

Yes, but in the Archie Comics looks, to put together the Mighty Mutanimals! Along with Wingnut & Screwloose, Jagwar, and Dreadmon

Knowing how that ended? No. 7 year old me WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT.

It’s going to be such a great set once completed! Hopefully it keeps going and we get into more secondary characters. 

Ray Fillet, Slash, Metalhead, Tokka, Razar, Mondo, Usagi, Neutrinos, Stone Soldiers, Triceratons and Irma.

Gosh, I love these. Just gotta figure out where to order them that gets them the fastest.

Luke? Amazon stinks. Fairy certain I never got my pre-order from Diamond for AEW. My LCS is fine when they can remember...

You know, I've got more than enough Ninja Turtles and was pretty much done with this line some time ago. But I would buy this set just for that Rocksteady. They're all improvements in my eyes except the actual turtle. I wish we had gotten sculpted heads for them. Anyway, well done DST!

I'm in for ALL OF THEM. The Krang, the Rocksteady... and the Casey and Baxter next set will be sorely appreciated.

Anybody read the new Skybound comic?

Yep. And pending on how it turns out before I get excited. Kirkman is a great writer, but he has Jeph Loeb/Brian Michael Bendis Syndrome; if it is someone else's toys, he breaks them.

Here is fine,  I guess.  Maybe don't spread them around yet.  I would like IGN to give them a big reveal. It's a big publicity opportunity for us. 

I'll keep it on the DL but BBTS and Toy Hype both have pages up.

Correct. Sorry for the accidental early launch, IGN will be showing off the set OFFICIALLY early next week. 

Wait... should I not post the pictures that I found of them?

All good. And thanks for the confirmation! I'm all in on all these!

So then last set has to be Ralph, Mikey, Casey, Baxter and Foot Soldier?

Got my Young Bucks from my LCS.

WONDERFUL. Now make Hikaru Shida, Will Hobbs, Eddie Kingston, Jungle Boy, Thunder Rosa, Nyla Rose, Jade Cargill, the Acclaimed, Swerve Strickland, Keith Lee, Wardlow, MJF, Ricky Starks, Jay White, the Lucha Bros, PAC, and- (rambles)

Those are so good! So rad!!!

As I'm buying these without any real idea why (no disrespect meant) except that they are Minimates can I ask naive questions ?   I will anyway.

 

Does AEW include the use of kendo sticks ?  If so I am becoming more & more interested  It's been several years ( nearly 30) since I needed to be engaged in any self-defence but I have always been of the opinion that if I reckon I might lose then grabbing the nearest piece of wood & aiming it at my aggressor is the way forward .....is this the AEW way ?

BTW I am a black-belt in Fuck-yu & Origami . Unfortunately my local Origami club has now folded.

To answer the question if it is serious, various AEW wrestlers have used kendo sticks; Hikaru Shida almost always carries one.

Ha! A very Young Bucks-ish response, even.

Dope... BUT THE AEW MINIMATES CURSE OF PACKAGING FAILS CONTINUE.

Matt minimate is above Nick's pic; Nick minimate is above Matt's pic.

My OCD hates this line. /s

Starting to see ads for the new blimp cartoon set... I'm giddy!

I'm not talking about Adventure Team, I am not sure when we are offering those. I mean overall orders on Series 1 and 2 increasing.

I mean, I can order a couple more of Series 1 and 2!

Holding up hope these are solicited soon!

No Joe for SDCC, but I hold out hope that Joe orders will increase next month and Series 3 and 4 may get a green light.

I... hope your hope comes through, but I think the Adventure Team response was pretty universal. While a few folks seem up for it, hopefully they are the vocal majority, in the end, if I am articulating the thought correctly.

Also, quit giving us silver bodied male characters! I kid, but I really want to make Jocasta and EDI customs, @DSTZach 😧

Don't get me wrong, I want all the sets but this really is the perfect set to start, for me. If I were to be asked, "What characters are you not happy with in your TMNT display,' I would answer '1 April, 2 Beebop, 3 Casey, 4 Foot Soldiers.'

I already made Casey more OG accurate, and while I tried with April, this is all much, much better.

I appreciate the response at least! I'm just rabid for MORE MINIMATES.

Any updates on this one re solicit? Hopeful to get these in my hands!

Need to replace my Echo custom, kitbash my Typhoid Mary minimate, and usinv parts to make a Diamondback stand-in and that Echo hair to update my Panam Palmer minimate.

If a 5 pack of baddies could be made, i'd go with Goldar (with removable wings) Scorpina, Finster, Rita, Zed and then a 2 pack of putties. One regular and the other a Z putty. 😁

I'd guess four pack, Rita, Goldar, Zed, and a Putty but I would love Rita, Goldar, Zed and Scorpina four pack with the Putty 2 pack mentioned.

Like, in stores before June? Uh-uh, we just showed off the ring in early April, and we need to offer a pre-order first. The ring and Series 2 are both early 2024 at this point. 

I swore series 2 was advertised for summer 23 with Hangman, Cassidy, Mox and Cole.

12 hours ago, DSTZach said:

Me, too! We should be offering either the ring set OR the Series 2 set in late June, I think.

No SDCC con exclusive at this time, but maybe I'll bring some blanks for those who missed them in NYC.

Offering, as in up for order? I was hoping these would be out way earlier than June. Oh, well, already made my own Orange Cassidy, Hangman and Mox in the meanwhile.
