isn't another criteria that the property is evergreen?

Wait a minute...evergreen as in Evergreen Terrace?!

The Simpsons?!

They've had all sorts of video games in the past but haven't had a new one in a while.

It's certainly colorful.

Hey Nervous, are you a Simpsons fan?

They could do the red ninjas that karai uses, and that appeared in the past.

Ohhhh yeah!  I forgot about those!

any more foot or ninja in future waves zach? 

Eh, I hope not.  Zach mentioned that they're doing stuff from the newest season and the new Foot Elites look VERY similar to the Bradford and Chrome Dome that we already got.

lol, I now know how Kevin Costner felt in Swing Vote......... After looking through all the candidates, I'm pretty sure I know who I'd vote for in this election... Time to draw the curtain to my voting booth ... I guess we'll find out on Saturday .....

ps..... this is fun!

No, the in thing is to take a selfie of you voting that shows your selections!  

Nervous, what the hell are you so into that isn't Mortal Kombat, Metal Geat Solid or Mega Man, yet is colorful.  Give us the deets already.

Da Blue Guy? Wasn't he in the bWo with Big Stevie Cool? Is it ECW minimates?!

Don't forget about Hollywood Nova!  And...now I want ECW Minimates!

Are there a lot of characters from Mega Man that people would recognize besides...the blue guy?

I don't know that I knew that Nervous liked Half Life or MGS, but it is neither. I just meant it was colorful, and had some recognizable characters in it.

Damn!  My top two choices were Mortal Kombat and MGS.  Now that they have both been ruled out...I'm not as excited for this videogame license reveal anymore unless...did we already rule out Street Fighter???

...I didn't even know these came out ? 

Yeah, they've been out since December.  I haven't seen anybody restock these lately so if you find any out in the wild it will be whatever's been picked over.

There's some info back on page 10 of the order they come in and how many of each figure are in the wave if you do happen to stumble upon them.

Any good dioramas or play sets for these TMNT minimates?

Yeah, I've got a few.  I'll have to try and take some pics soon.

The Loyal Subjects vinyl figures. I like the style of them and they've made some solid mirage and Fred Wolf turtles. And my point still stands that vintage turtle figures would be great minimates.

They look like aliens!

I would love to the colorful 80's Turtles make the Minimate makeover.  Throw in Splinter, Shredder, April and a Foot Soldier and we've got an entire wave.

The Technodrome forums is probably the best place. But fair warning, it's one of those places where everyone is all jaded and generally hate Playmates and do a lot of self-loathing and whatnot. But it's probably the best place to keep track of the figures and see pics, etc.

It's funny because it's true!

Am I the only one who hopes to see the Elf minimates?

Nope! I am very much looking forward to an Elf and a Santa minimate!

Ew!  What the hell are those things?!

Those Dark Turtles have already been released by Playmates since about early December along with Super Shredder.  Those have been my favorite Turtle gimmicks so far so I would love to see them be in the upcoming Series 6.

I'm in the UK so I'm not too qualified to know for sure but surely those Tomb Raider TRU sets were scarce?  I know I struggled big time initially to secure some ......Sony stuff is still pretty scarce IMHO .....yet you're saying the hung on pegs ??  I believe you of course MM but it  surprises me.       

Yeah, the Sony stuff lingered even when it was clearanced down to like $3.49/$3.99ish at one point.

It just kind of happens sometimes where nobody is really interested when it's available and then as soon as they're finally gone all of this interest for it suddenly appears.  There was a Target Exclusive Star War Black Series Shadow Squadron set that was clearanced down to like $15 because it wasn't selling and now you can't find one for any less than $100.

Didn't those lines have a lot of distribution issues?

I don't think so.  I remember seeing both of those lines in stores and online.  The Sony Playstation Minimates hung on those pegs for sooooo long.

It's not Assassin's Creed.

That's good news for me!  I'm still bummed it's not Mortal Kombat.  I would buy Street Fighter or Metal Gear Solid Minimates.  I don't have very high hopes for the video game reveal.

Going back to Assassin's Creed for a minute.  I just don't think it would do well if Tomb Raider didn't make it past one series and the Sony Playstation series (Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Resistance) didn't make it past one series either.

Has anyone done a cast of Mikey's spinning 'chucks? I'm not buying a box set just for those 

They have to rerelease them at some point.  I wouldn't mind having to get yet another Mikey if it came with a set of those.

Um, no, I'll take the classic Disneyland/DisneyWorld ride 

There's a comic book for that now.  I've got a friend that reads it and says it's awesome.

C'monnnnnn Ms. Marvel!  Big money!  No whammies!

Has it ever been revealed why some of these lines hit so long after the movie comes out?  Is it part of their contract where they have to wait a certain amount of time or something?

They've already been revealed.

Go on...

I just can't imagine Assassin's Creed Minimates doing well enough to go beyond one series.

Now that Mortal Kombat is officially out of the running, I'm pulling for Metal Gear Solid.

I tried to buy a Squirrel Girl pack with them and the clerk wouldn't let me. She said they were limited to 4 per person. Not sure where that came from, but I guess I'll go back tomorrow and buy it.

I bought 5 Minimates 2-packs yesterday with no issue.  It must be a weird rule for that particular store.
