Man, what a terrific game. I used to play that and X-Men vs Street Fighter all the time at the arcade. It really helped cultivate my love for marvel's merry mutants.

watched 4 episodes yesterday.  got me so hyped up for x-men i went and played the whole konami game (the arcade where you could be one of six characters and for some reason magneto was using the sentinels). 

I have a Mame Arcade in my house and I've never played that game all the way through. I think that's me sorted for the next little while.

Ive played The Spider-man 4 player to the end and the Punisher/Nick Fury one but never the X-men 4 player or the Cap America Avengers that I can remember.

I can relate as well to the Adam West Batman thoughts. I haven't watched an episode in years but did watch the Movie a good while back with my grandson who may have been about 6 at the time and he loved it. Maybe its the bright colours and it was easy going but watching it with a young kid and seeing the simple joy and laughter at the daft stuff like running around with the bomb had on him I can appreciate it a bit more.

On british side note my daughter facetimed me the other week as we are all social distancing and she had a Emu hand/arm puppet which was mine as a child that my dad tormented/tickled and chased me around the house with and I did the same to my kids an now she was doing it to my 2 year old granddaughter and she was loving it. They had youtubed some episodes of Emu and the Parkinson interview

I think with Emu its the anarchy an naughtiness that kids love getting one up on the grown ups.

I forgot we did him for both cartoons already. So yes! "Retread." Consider this the Into the Spider-Verse figure we never got.  But I believe it is a slipcover mask. 

IM and Ghost are VERY different from Series 80 looks

Its fine if you forgot

Hell right now there are times I have no idea what day of the week it is. They are all merging together kinda like the time between xmas an New Years its like one loooong sunday.

Looks like I spoiled it. I forget who I told. Glad somebody's watching those interviews. PRETTY sure we've not done Spy-D or IM from the new Spidey toon.

Aren't Miles morales Spiderman

Kid Arachnid

https://marvels-spiderman-2017.fandom.com/wiki/Spy-D

And Spy-D basicly the same thing its just in the cartoon they haven't settled on a name. Those are Walgreens figures not from the main marvel line.

Oh an Ivan is hailed

So,During toy fair  Zach was doing an interview where he actually introduced the lineup for both series 12 and 13. I'll post the waves in a spoiler tag for those who want to be surprised and keep speculating.

  Reveal hidden contents

Wave 12 consists of Prowler, Iron Man, Ghost, & Spy-D

Wave 13 is actually based on x-men the animated series, the characters are cyclops, jean grey, Mr. sinister, and another villain.

 

Before I actually checked that spoiler. I did check to see that this was posted after April 1st it would have been a perfect time for a joke post and after nearly 2 weeks of lockdown I'm starting to go a bit paranoid an daft.

Some movies deserve a bigger screen to take it in. For me the tent pole stuff should be held back, so Marvel, Bond etc I'm fine with being held back. The concern I have is for the movies an TV that are in production that have been delayed because its a knock on effect of its not finished for the time its supposed to be released so we would have holes in our entertainment calendar.

It would be interesting to know how the movies released to VoD have faired compared to their expected box office returns. Now I don't think they will get close to what they thought it would be but the % would be interesting to see.

When this finally comes to pass and the majority of the world gets back to some normality I do think that these big release movies will make over their expected revenue as ppl celebrate their ability to go out together and enjoy stuff in company.

I would say straight away it would have to be Galactus.

I don't follow funko so not sure if they have done a Watcher etc

I must have missed this whole thread...

be glad you did it was so long ago all our minimates where in black and white.

I think ol BHM is pulling our legs a bit an I can understand why. That image has to me certain palitoy quality's not saying more then that or we could end up down the rabbit hole that was Huge Hog Robin (damn that was a long time ago)

Really liking this wave all-round. I do find it slightly amusing that we get this Spider Woman just as she changes to a new costume design in her new series. I like the new costume but i cant see it sticking (No spider pun intended)

Found Black Widow today on a drug run. Hopefully Series 11 isn't far behind.

I read that as you found Widow on a drug run, as in she was busting dealers

I used to be far more optimistic than this. Now I'm to the point where I can't even get excited about new property announcements (even when they specifically mention Minimates), see product prototypes, or preorder want I want well in advance.

I was jazzed about Pacific Rim Minimates and they never reached the concept stage. I preordered John Wick 2 Minimates before I saw any of the movies only to have them canceled a year later. So if Ghidorah is a dealbreaker, I totally get it. 

Now, who wants a DELUXE Godzilla vs. Ghidorah 2-pack with a package that would allow for a decently scaled Ghidorah Vinimate?

Took me a second to guess that is I think Mothra in the middle of those two. My mind first went to someones cats pooped in the picture.

I Always thought it was Manson not Mason but either way its one of Mrs F's baby boys.

I knew who it was but goggled Mason and it is Mason I just totality brain farted on the name. His book is very good

Not the biggest fan of movie waves but I do like task Master and Red Guardian.

OR con exclusives introduce new collectors to a line and promote the sale of non-exclusive figures. All companies do it, including many very successful lines, like ML, 1:12 and POPs. It doesn't seem to hurt them, although they obviously have a little more history and momentum. It's a variant, not a unique character, and Anything we can do to promote Vinimates is  welcome. 

I will try not to sell multiples to people at the show, and If I have any left over I will list them in the store and let you know here.

Sling one towards the dude on toy galaxy on you tube he loves translucent stuff.

Bleeding Cool with a write up and some already seen pictures of NYTF.

This is the only site I've seen with a mention of Minimates hitting wave 80.

DST walkthrou with Pixel Dan and the one and only Captain Sideburns himself DSTZach

Toyark finally has some DST photos up nothing we haven't seen but the minimates are from image 23 onwards here https://news.toyark.com/2020/02/23/toy-fair-2020-diamond-select-toys-marvel-382911

Very happy for both these waves. If there is one weak minimate for me its this jacketed Cyclops but that's really just a small nitpick. Again really happy for both waves an a bit sad for no more BAF's I liked that idea.

Not 100% sure I got the two-packs right, but the last two are Cyclops with leather jacket and Dark Phoenix with a bunch of flamey pieces. There should be more pics today, we didn't allow press yesterday. Midtown Comics came through as a retailer. 

so this?

Happily take the lot.

Dont know much about Mockingbird or Spider Woman in these looks but I they are either current or well received so yea they are good.

Constrictor is another I don't know much about but doesn't this finish up the minimate version of the Mattel secret wars line?

Deathlok yes please all good glad to have him.

Ghost and Stealth IM another great figure in Ghost and lovely redo in SIM so well done as I said earlier the first time I looked I thought you used an old figure as a place holder.
