Barry - This is an odd question, and I know the wound is still fresh. If the line is indeed dead, do you think you would ever entertain the idea of mocking up new designs for Minimates just for the fun of it? I would love to see your take on the Endgame (and post Endgame) Marvel MCU stuff that never got released. I think my biggest regrets for the line is that we never got a proper "Final Battle" Endgame release or a Wrecking Crew boxset. Maybe your own "What If?" thread?

This is from C2E2 2012, I believe.

Thanks Barry, those look great.

Agreed, thank you for everything you have done for the community and the brand over the years.

Now that all of these wonderful designs are pouring out across various lines, is there any chance anyone can finally show the sculpted versions of the 2012 Turtle heads that never went forward? I've never gotten to see these and have always wondered what could have been. Were there any other TMNT mates designed that never made it to retail?

Zach, I was absolutely heartbroken to see your Instagram post. Thank you for everything you have done for this community and the toy collecting hobby in general. Now is the perfect time to plug Zach's book: https://a.co/d/dNXPkJL (Please let me know if there a better place to order other than Amazon where you get more revenue per copy)

I'll check my spares this weekend and let you know. This one, right? http://minimatedatabase.com/img/fig/fig2938flg.jpg

I'm willing to help out where I can. Let me know.

Bob's Burgers, please. 14 seasons and a movie's worth of fun colorful characters with very little merch out there. Selects and Gallery statues too, please!

Hope you feel better soon, man! It wasn't the same watching Pixel Dan at the booth without your there.

@DSTZach, are the bonus parts for an alternate look of a character still happening?

Zach uploaded a booth tour video, it had the 60’s GI Joe boxsets and the AEW ring, but that was it as far as I could tell.

Got my sets today, and I have to say that THIS is how a Minimates boxset should be done. Beautiful bright colors, lots of accessories, and the thing is heavy! Zach, have there been any discussions of continuing the line after Series 2? With all of the classic D&D monsters, a boxset of army building monsters in animated colors would be so much fun! A Skeleton, Lich, Owlbear. A Beholder and Gelatinous Cube would be amazing non-articulated additions. Maybe an opening treasure chest with alternate parts to make a Mimic? Include a few exclusive weapons, artifacts, treasures…maps, spellbools, etc.
