There's actually an entire Minimates compatibility thread! You'll find lots of stuff in there.

LOL he should write a tell-all book

The unfortunate truth is that they bought Diamond Comics Distributors, which is a big company of which Diamond Select Toys is a small part (and Minimates is a small part of that). I doubt that DST itself was much of a thought in the acquisition . Which is TERRIBLE, and devastating to both our friends and our little community. But that's the way it is with corporations.

Much love to you Zach, and also to some of our other boarders that were doing design work for DST. I hope you're all able to land on your feet and replace any lost work. If this does end up being the end of Minimates, it was a great run. I could see NECA or WizKids taking the figures and reimagining the packaging and presentation. But that seems like small potatoes compared to the human cost of this move. Team DST was the best; thank you all for your hard work and dedication over these many years.

I was actually just looking at Blokees the other day. Very tempted to get some of my favorites (Wheeljack, Prowl, Ironhide) that don't have Minimates yet. But so far I am resisting!

All love and support to you Zach. You're a great guy and wherever you land is going to be lucky to have you.

Man, Tower was such a great store. I even managed a different record store and still shopped there because the selection was so good and they had so much that we couldn't get.

I would bet Adam Copeland is a lock for the next set; he's the biggest name left. Mercedes, Samoa Joe, and Okada would round that out pretty nicely IMHO.

You already made skateboards! http://minimatedatabase.com/acc.php?i=1378&n=Skateboard I'm sure Luke has a ton of them for anyone that wants to buy one. 😁

Just got mine today! Very cool set, though how Darby Allin of all people didn't come with a skateboard is beyond me. I know I have some laying around somewhere though. I also need to throw a black jacket on the guy. Sting and Danielson are both perfect. Super happy to have them. It's also cool to have a Ric Flair Minimate, though if I am being honest I would have liked to have seen that spot go to someone else. Totally understand why he was picked, he's absolutely the biggest name available. But I definitely would have liked to have seen an active wrestler more associated with AEW. Oh well, bring on the next set!

These are cool! Cult movies used to be a Minimates staple, so this feels like a step back in time in more ways then one. Zach, any plans to do the modern movies, or is the license just for the original?

I got my copy! Very cool Zach. Will definitely get the Minimate follow up!

Those look great!

I'm quite confident that my choices for an exclusive pack would bankrupt the company, if, well, you know... (Sorry Zach I couldn't resist 😄)

An excellent choice! I might try and make one too. I've been thinking about AEW wrestlers that would make for easy QCs that probably will never be made even if AEW Minimates do roll on. I've been working on a PAC one and I know there's a hairpiece that is similar to his wild hair but I can't remember which one.
