LOL I actually meant solicits for a third box set or a second two pack (which I assume is Darby and Sting). I should have been more specific!

Any idea when we might see the next set?

A troop builder set with a standard Cobra soldier, BAT, and Crimson Guardsman would be super cool.

He looks great! What a cool choice.

Very glad to hear about the renewal, which I assume also means more Transformers. And maybe we'll get really lucky and they'll let y'all do Rom or the Micronauts.

They also have the Villains set, but that one is full price. Still, if you buy both you'll qualify for free shipping even with the discount on the Heroes set.

If anyone is still looking for these, they are being carried by Hasbro Pulse, and the Heroes set is part of their Season's Savings deal, so you can get 25% off your order (35% if you're a Pulse premium member, which I am not). This is the first time I've seen them carry Minimates, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this set as part of the sale.

Just placed my preorder!

Oh that's a great idea. I'd love to hear more about it.

The description says it was recalled due to Madonna having a cigarette. I also don't recall that, since there have been more than a few 'mates since then with both cigarettes and cigars. Did we ever get a Minimate pipe? That's what we need!

LOL I will take this as a no. Well, if anyone wants a code hit me up, I've got four now I think.

Those are by a Lego knockoff company; I have quite a few and some of them make really nice figures.

It's funny, I was just thinking about these the other day (I think it was the Marvel Legends Crystar that reminded me about the fun of translucent figures). These were always so creative, and I looked forward to them every Tuesday. I can't believe it's been ten years!

Fun fact: Crystar is actually owned by Marvel, and was created in house, and then was licensed out to the toy company (was it Galoob?). It's kind of a reverse ROM.

It would be REALLY cool if Spider-Ham's head is removable and could then be put on Itsy Bitsy body....

Three bucks at Target!

Spider-Ham! At last! I love it. 🥰

Curios if anyone has migrated over to Bluesky yet; I am there and my handle is @kenraining.bsky.social. Mostly I chat about comics. Also if anyone wants to be on there I have a few invite codes, so reply here if you'd like one and I can share them.

That is certainly a surprise. Nice to see Minimates for a new property again though; when was the last time that happened?

WCW is owned by WWE, so that's not going to happen. I assume that DST's license is much like Jakks, in that they can do older looks for wrestlers from outside their WWE days (like they could do a young Chris Jericho from very early in his career). Theoretically I suppose they could sign old wrestlers to merch contracts and produce some kind of a Legends of Wrestling line, but I can't see how that would be cost effective. Luke did a whole series of custom WWF Minimates; you should look at that thread if you haven't. That's as close as you're probably going to get I'm afraid.

Danielson is more slowing down than he is fully retiring, though this is probably the last full year of his career. 😢 He actually just said in an interview that he doesn't think he'll ever completely retire, but it might end up being years between matches. I think he's likely to transition into more of a backstage/occasional performer role in AEW. Jay Lethal is an interesting choice; I suppose you'd need to make a box set of that whole motley crew.

How is it we are making a wish list for Minimates from the women's division and none of you mentioned Jamie Hayter? For shame! My ideal choices for the next box set (assuming Sting and Darby is a separate set like the Bucks) are Danielson, Swerve, Starks, and Hayter.

Zach might I humbly suggest you consider THE AMERICAN DRAGON BRYAN DANIELSON????????

He's one of my all time favorite performers, and that's not going to change, but boy oh boy has his conduct over the last year been detrimental. Anyway, can't wait to get the next set and Orange Cassidy!
