I've also wanted DC Minimates back, but I never really considered the fact if they came back, they could be the Nu52 designs. (I did not know it was referred to as Nu52 until just now.) So I agree with monkeycrumb that my interest in DC Minimates have waned. I'd probably still buy them though.

If DST is having a hard time getting the Star Trek line continuing, I don't see how LiS will get off the ground beyond a one and done pack of some sort.

Really? I'd heard about the MU rebranding, but they're ending Legends already? Hate to say it, but if that's true, I'm actually relieved that Legends is ending (again). I can't justify spending $20 per figure.

storm, thanks for the pics! i'm really looking forward to the marvel stuff.

doh, people beat me to it already! thanks for the tip tho. :-/

Sweet I need the Janeway / 7 of 9 pack (picked up the other three in stores already). Anyone know which SKU to buy online? Not sure if I have my old receipts to do process of elimination. Thanks!

cool, i'm excited to pick these up. i'm not a huge trek fan, but i love minimates enough and have enough casual interest in trek to stick with the line for the long haul. i hope we get the TOS crew remade, as i'd rather not go back and hunt down the ones from the original trek minimates. it's somewhat selfish, but i also argue that minimates have evolved enough (e.g., face tampos) that having them updated would still be worth it -- maybe as a couple 4-packs or something. i'd certainly much rather have this before the episode specific variants.

Not feeling this set. I'll pick it up if I find it on sale.

Not sure if this has already been answered, but why are some minimate stands hard clear plastic and some rubbery? I really prefer the hard plastic found in recent non Marvel sets and Strange Tales boxset, but the Iron Man 3 ones were still rubbery. Anyone know what determines which sets have which stands?

Thanks for the heads up! No way was I going to pay the retail price -- much too expensive. But I bought all three sets at 40% off. Funnily, I had just walked by the Disney Store on my way to work. I was going to see if they had them in stock, but the store wasn't open yet.

I hadn't even thought of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I would totally buy those. It pissed me off when Mattel never made any figures of the female characters, which was ridiculous considering how integral they are to the show. The mention of Kaneda made me think of Sunshine. I really liked that movie. I would buy those mates, but I guess they might just look like a bunch of civilians.

I second this. Not too enamored by these, but might get them just to support the line... just for the sliver of a chance that Disney might be able license Star Wars for both Lego and Minimates.

As someone who didn't start collecting Minimates until after the original Star Trek releases, I was wondering if there will be plans to release new plain uniform versions of the TOS crew (either TV series or recent movies). Basically I want to know if it's worth going on ebay and trying to pick up the old mates or if I can wait for new versions. Thanks and I'm excited Star Trek mates are coming back! I know this is beating a dead horse, but what would be even more awesome is if Disney is still into Minimates (i.e., Disney store exclusives) and is able to somehow license Star Wars to both LEGO and DST.

I would love to see Adventure Time minimates. I've been buying the Jazwares 2" figures, but the quality is terrible and they're way overpriced. I would like Minimates to take a stab at it.

I missed the Minimates panel due to waiting for the Adventure Time experience outside of the convention hall, which was a colossal waste of time unfortunately. Can anyone who went give me an overview of the style of minimate panels? I've read the bits of info posted by toynewsi.com, but I'm wondering more if these panels are purely just DST announcing what's upcoming plus some Q&A. Do they talk about the design process much? And I'm curious what the demographics of the audience is. Is it mostly filled with dudes or are there actually female minimates fans. And what is the age range of attendees? Are kids into minimates or is it mostly adult collectors like me? Thanks.

These look pretty cool. However, I have zero affinity for Thundercats so I will be passing. Hope the line is successful for the rest of you though.

i know very little about alpha flight, but i'm ecstatic to see a box set with all new characters -- definitely a buy for me. i guess afx = alpha flight exclusives.

The X-Men set looks great. I might also pick up the Walking Dead set, but the other two are a pass for me.

Thanks many bunches for this! I don't feel bad about paying for shipping now -- and also was able to pick up some Brave plushes, haha.

I'm tempted to buy the Lego but it's really expensive. Has anyone tried using the 3.75" Hasbro Quinjet with Minimates?

I'm already committed to buying the two box sets. And if this is what it takes to get Disney to carry Minimates I'm all for it. UNLESS, it becomes a trend, that in order to get one new character, I'd have to pick up two or three rehashes. This effectively means I'm paying $10 or even $20 for each new character, which would make me really question whether Disney exclusives are even worth it. I really hope this won't be the case. Though for the record, I have bought every Disney boxset so far, 'cause I have to admit even the Heroic Age and Classic boxsets were good rehashes. But yeah, thanks, Zach. I too, appreciate your communication with us.

I'm in this line. Cool new figs, but no need to buy wave 44 now (haven't preordered yet anyway). I'll have to pick up Kree Sentries somehow though. Wave 44 should just be turned into an army builder wave.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm definitely going to start working on a set of QC alter ego mates, now that I've accumulated so many parts, either through rehashes or army building duplicates.

After making a QC Matt Murdock using JJJ's body and Daredevil's head based on the suggestions of others, I was wondering if anyone has a QC Peter Parker to recommend.

there also really needs to be some young avengers minimates.
