I'll say it.

It's dead, Jim.

While I'm interested to see what Playmates offers this time around, I'm sad that any future Minimates added to my collection will have to be customs.

XMOW Deadpool is an abomination and should not be put in the same plane of reality as 616 Deadpool. 

If the board software had a Like feature, this comment might have broken it.

I am still pissed Most Wanted didn’t get picked up. 

I wouldn't mind if the pilot was "leaked." Even WB put out the Aquaman pilot.

That's a little disappointing. My Steve Rogers Minimate will have to continue apartment hunting.

Congrats to the winners and thanks again, Zach. ??

Nice! I contemplated using Jillian Holtzman or Crimson Viper for Bobbi Morse just because of the amber spectacles.

What I'd really like is an Agents of SHIELD Mockingbird to go with my MCU 'mates.

I doubt we'll get any. DST has passed entirely on the last couple Spidey-flicks so it's pretty obvious who fwipped in Chuck's cereal.

I didn't realize Minimates Menagerie had so many accounts here! ?.

Haha! Just kidding!

FOUND IT!

I'd be tempted to swap out the command chair with one from DST's 1701 but this looks pretty good.

AMT made a model kit of the Command Bridge that scales quite well with Minimates. I've seen pictures somewhere of the bridge populated with 'mates but I don't recall where.

I managed to score a set but just wanted to say this is a weird but welcome addition to my Cap collection. Thanks for doing this, Zach. ?

It must be a very affordable license knowing that DST has to pay an annual guarantee either way.

I understand that the rights were segregated prior to the reunification of CBS and Paramount but it seems like both parties could now find a way to take advantage of Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, the upcoming Prodigy, Strange New Worlds, or maybe even pick up where the Legacy line left off.

We can thank COVID for these. If the MCU had stayed on schedule, Disney probably wouldn't have been as interested in letting licensees mine previous Fox films. The timing is actually pretty perfect since there are so few film releases and product tie-ins in the mass market.

Now give me a Professor X, Pierce, and X-24. A few more from the Deadpool movies would be welcome, too, but I'm thrilled to see Negasonic Teenage Warhead offered.

Any chance Loki will merit a hex pack? I see Hasbro is already offering one of the new characters.

Is DST offering ANY new Star Trek product this year?

As someone who never got into the TV series but thoroughly enjoyed the movie, I'd be pretty happy with a 4-pack from the film. I picked up the Jazwares line of 3 3/4" figures when I had the chance.

I'd have to see it in person but even at $250, I'd probably pass.

Honestly, I'm much more interested in individual dioramas specifically tailored to my 'mates. Yeah, gimme the bridge, sick bay, engineering, the transporter room, and maybe the brig. I don't need a big, fancy, electronic display piece that's the size of furniture.

Besides, I already have one of these.

Not to get off topic, but I'm just gonna day dream about airbender minimates for a second here.

Same here. Still. Nine years later.

Looking forward to the 20th anniversary of the Minimates brand though! Never say never!

And just like that, I suddenly need an assortment of SHAZAM! Minimates.

I can see it being de-contented (no figures or electronics) and being offered for considerably less but skimming is a solid market strategy. The franchise doesn't seem to be able to support volume sales at this time.

Hopefully Prodigy will generate more interest in Star Trek.

Even if they were willing to try, I'm wondering what contractual hoops DST would have to leap through to offer playsets for Trek Minimates. It seems like the category is off limits for some reason or they'd have offered a Build-a-Bridge in the Select line by now, right?

Right?

Those Mezco figures would be more tempting if they were less expensive. But yeah, that's the way to release those kaiju. 

The Engineering section looks like it would work better for 2" Minimates. As is, the Playmobil figure looks gigantic in that space!

Now there's a ringtone. ??

Hands are great, too. I'm all for a variety of facial expressions. It depends on the character.
