Last Ronin question here. 
Are Hiroto’s hands molded on or does mine just need boiling?

I’ve got so many Minimates waiting to ship with that Ronin set. It’s about to be a tidal wave. 

Thanks bro!

I’d love to see either the new characters or the Old Man Ghostbusters. I do hope we could get one set from Afterlife so we can have Ghost Egon. 

So that trailer for the next Ghostbusters looks damn awesome. 
Who’s in for a #bringbackghostbusters campaign? 
Ill start. @DSTZach could you ask your buddies to bring back the Ghostbusters?

Especially if you’re getting Zords. The Godzilla Vinimates will make badass Zord scale enemies.

Late November, I believe!

Yay! I’ve got a few Loose Fridays worth of mates coming to me with the Last Ronin which I’m quite excited to finally get.

Zach--

I have a lot of strong opinions on the phrase "pretty much," for a grown woman I have way too much time on my hands to talk about toys on the internet. I've made a little chart detailing how these figures don't really stand in for what the mass market sees as Spider-Verse. Times are changing, peoples perceptions on characters evolve. The casual buyer thinks Miguel is this roided-up beefcake, they think Hobie Brown is a Spider-Man, etc. It's not a matter of sweatpants, it's a matter of people caring more about something when it's a thing they know. I think a reliance on comics is going to be a detriment moving forward, people are going to be more excited by the versions of characters they know and associate with. People know these characters from media outside of paperback and tbh the average fan isn’t going to go read comics after watching the movies

I never should have quit Youtube, I got too many opinions and too little a void to scream into

I just want to acknowledge how well thought out this chart is with plenty of examples and a relatively good flow. 
Well done. 
 

Also you mentioning you’re a woman got me wondering about the demographics of our community. I honestly kinda assumed everyone really active on here was a dude. Maybe we could set up some kind of anonymous survey. See how far and wide our community goes. 

I feel the same. Snyder is extremely hit or miss for me and I need to know which I’m getting. 

Announced by Chuck at AskDST and slated for a reveal at NYCC our next property is Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon! 
Now we can stop highjacking the Joe thread and talk here.

So... with the Echo minimate pulled, anyone know of a hair that is close? The bun look was perfect for my Panam Palmer custom.

Paint the Movie Mandarin perhaps?

I don’t think I’d get MCU mates if they started making them again. 
Part of the appeal for me was how thorough the collection was. They may miss a character or two from a movie but they didn’t miss a movie until FFH. Now we’ll be missing such a huge list of characters and looks that starting again feels pointless. 
A reasonably thorough list of one-off characters that’ll stay missing unless they do sets from already released films and shows

Conqueror Kang, Wenwu, Mysterio, the Elementals, Electro, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Gorr, Mighty Thor, He Who Remains Kang, Kevin Bacon, Scarlet Witch Wanda (maybe), every member of the Illuminati, Ramonda, Gravik (which is honestly fine), Ikaris, The High Evolutionary,  Ralph Bohner, Harrow, Ammit.

This of course doesn’t count characters who we will probably see again enough that they could get future minimates (Namor, Moon Knight, Shang Chi, Kamala, Kate, Man Thing, Jack Russell) or characters who have a reasonable stand in from previous minimates (FNSM, ASM, Lizard, Sandman) 

It’s just missing too much. Our previous MCU woes were missing, like, a single look from a movie. Final Battle Whiplash comes to mind, or Fat Thor. Or if we did miss a character they weren’t actually in the movie very long like Janet Van Dyne. They even managed to make an Ego Minimate which even Lego completely dropped the ball on for Guardians 2. MCU was thorough and often gorgeous for Minimates. But like I said, it’s missing too much. But it was an EXCEPTIONAL run while it was a thing.

Deadpools Assemble! Box Set - Satchel part

I think that satchel is somewhere in Walking Dead as well. Glenn maybe? Or an early Rick. Either way, probably cheaper than getting it in that Deadpool set. 
 

EDIT. Officer Rick or the Days Gone Bye box set. 

Kang, yes. Very much so. 
There are some more options for Juggernaut but the only genuinely good looking Juggernaut is one of the rarest non-promo releases of Marvel. 

Agreed. I assure you, one of each of your favorite characters is adequate for a Minimate collection. 
I just hope for your sake your favorite characters aren’t Juggernaut and Kang. 

Nah man usually nothing scales. The X-Mansion is likely to be directed specifically toward minifigs and therefore Minimates will look really damn huge. 
Rivendell was this big premium set that was definitively an exception. And even then you can’t really use the original LOTR line in there because of the 2.5inch scale. 

Eyyyy IGN has an article out on these now and they’re so pretty. Especially Elektra. 
It also says Preorders open on Friday!

I still call the Symbiote pig Venham. Pork Grind is aight but that’s a Venham

Fuck me this is the 20th anniversary of Marvel Minimates isn’t it? This is exactly the right set to release right now. 
It’s kinda neat to think that we’ve only gotten Yellow Daredevil twice and it was 20 years apart. 

I ordered mine with the Last Ronin set so I’ll have to wait for that one to get mine. But damn, I like what I see. 

That Spider-Ham Lego head really does slap on that itsy bitsy. 
Wish I had an extra of it but my only Spider-Ham is on the Big Ass Bridge Fight I made for all my Marvel Lego.

We had a 2099 Spidey already. I’m guessing it will be Peter, Miles, Gwen, Kaine and Morlun but would rather Peter, Julia Carpenter Madame Web, Kaine, and two other Spiders. 

Going by my personal rule of “animated version don’t count” the last 2099 was in like 2004, wasn’t meant to exist in the first place, and does not at all hold up to today’s Minimate standards. 
Our boy needs a remake. 

We had Kraven so recently I’d be surprised if they did him again that quickly. I don’t think his look changed that much. 

Oh yeah this’ll be a Spiderverse set of some sort

So we’re getting a 2000s Spider-Man boxset and it’s about time it gets a thread and stops stealing Daredevil’s thunder. 

Anyone got theories? Raving conspiracy theories?

Im gonna make my raving conspiracy theory those PS1 games from the early 2000s. 
As for a legitimate guess, probably something with Morlun given how he’s a pretty big one off villain from that time. 

This could be the assortment with Ronin/Echo so something with the Avengers isn’t out of the question. 

Actually @DSTZach are you allowed to say if this is where Echo wound up?

Base it on the PS1 games from the 2000s. Complete with early 3D model inspired faces. 
 

do it you cowards
