Not MK.

NOOOOOOOOO!

That's pretty awful news!  I was reallllllllly hoping for Mortal Kombat!

The Pirates Minimates look good.  I have no interest in Dark Tower.

Specialty box set. TRU 2-pack assortment TBA.

YES!  So we'll definitely get everyone then.  I'd assume we're getting Silk Spectre and Ozymandias and possibly something like battle damaged versions of Comedian and Rorschach.

These look very nice, even if Dr. Manhattan isn't... accurate.

But we just had a Man-Thing thanks to Walgreens.  Do we really need another one?

She said they were limited to 4 per person. 

Weird.  Nobody has ever said anything to me before but I've only ever bought 4 or less at once.  I wonder if that's just a general rule for toys/collectibles at that specific location.

Those look AMAZING!  I'm so pumped about these.  Do you think we'll see a Silk Spectre & Ozymandias 2-pack at some point?

Looks like the TRU assortment was cancelled. 

That's strange.  The blind bags sold VERY well at Hot Topic compared to what I've seen with the TMNT, Predator and Marvel blind bags at comic shops.

You should see Watchmen Minimates today, new movie licenses tomorrow. One Minimates/Vinimates license and one Vinimates license, Minimates to come.

Super excited to see the Watchmen Minimates.  I've been hoping for these ever since I saw some lame Kubricks at Toys R Us a few years ago.

Only the Hound will be shared. TRU will have:

Hanzo/Hound (Predators)

Guardian/Snake (Predator 2)

Stalker/Scout (Predator 2)

Hopefully we can revisit Predators at a later date. I still want a few humans AND predators.

Is Series 4 the last wave of Predator figures for now then?

I'll try to help out as many people as I can like I did with 2.5 and 3.  Let me know who needs what.  I help out the people that want full waves first and then move onto people that want individual sets.

I was really into Mister Miracle when I was on a DC kick a while back.  I'm not quite an escape artist but I try to live up to the name by helping out people on here whenever I can.

My avatar is blank because I have no idea how to edit it.

Man, there are so many names on here that I haven't seen in a while.  I hadn't realized so many guys had stopped posting on here!

Wow!  I didn't realize how bad the other one looked until I saw the marker version.

  1.  Speedball

  2.  Kamala Khan

  3.  Toad

  4.  Doc Samson

  5.  Fin Fang Foom (preferably as a Vinimate)

  6.  Bulldozer

  7.  Piledriver

  8.  Thunderball

  9.  Gladiator

10.  Corsair

Let's throw in some updates of classic black/white Punisher, yellow Daredevil, Mary Jane, Abomination, classic Iron Fist and Power Man too.

No idea what series it's in, but I need help with the noir/itsy bitsy spidey set

Done.  Check your inbox.

I am about ready to do the same thing, although I am looking for Power Man, Man-Thing and Power Princess. I am willing to trade any or all of wave three for these. I can probably find some of the other waves too.

I can get you a Power Man set from 2.5.  

Wave 2.5 came and went pretty quick.  I can help people out with Wave 3 though.

Poor Drax looks like he's dropped some serious weight!

They look great, too bad they will never show up at any Walgreens near me.

Don't worry.  They'll be on eBay.

90's X-men, if I had to guess.

I was thinking the same thing but I don't remember them being in that episode.  Is the Avengers Assemble show any good?  I haven't seen any of the Marvel cartoons since the 90's.

Wow!  Those figures look fantastic!  I was hoping we'd get a Montoya at some point!  That price point of $175 seems crazy high to me though.  I've consistently seen these in comic shops at $20 - $25 each so let's call it $125 for 5 figures.  I don't need a $50 box.

Now we just need a regular Scarecrow, Alfred, Bruce, and Dick to finish out the entire cast.  Maybe a Gray Ghost if they're feeling really generous!

I just saw them yesterday.  They're $9.99 each.  I think Mattel nailed it.  They're the same size and they look very similar to the originals.

Did anyone see these yet?  NECA made ships from Aliens and Predator.  They might look pretty cool on display with Minimates.

Space Jockey hits comic shops 1/25.

FYI, specialty version (grey with Kane) comes with five closed eggs, one open egg, flashlight, gun, facehugger.

TRU version (blue-black with Dallas) just comes with flashlight and gun.

Man, TRU got jipped on the accessories on their version.  Is the specialty version way more expensive than the TRU version like the APC?

I love that we get so many non-mutated versions of characters.  You just don't see that with any other TMNT line.  I think a Fishface and Xever variant would make sense but it sounds like they're using newer stuff from this newest season for Series 6.

I have been to many Walgreens over the past couple of months, and haven't seen any newish Animated Minimates.  I've pretty much given up on it, and will probably resort to eBay to get Nighthawk.  Bummer.

I've been helping people out with the Walgreens stuff.  I had a bunch of Wave 2.5 a while back but they're all gone now.  I can still help out with Wave 3 if you need them.

Yeah, I agree.  I've seen every incarnation of TMNT and the new Nick cartoon is really good.  I wasn't a fan of the space episodes but all of the other seasons so far have been awesome.

Actually there was also a Hamato Yoshi made in the 2K3 line as well.

Yeah, that's the one I was referring to.

I don't watch the show.

I'm pretty sure April was in every episode during the space episodes.  Stockman has been on the tv show and in the comics quite a bit.  The Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi were awesome because most toy lines never make them, only Shredder and Splinter.  I think there's only been 1 other Hamato Yoshi since they started making TMNT figures in the 1980's.  So for hardcore TMNT fans, it was great to see they were being made. 

I try to help out with Minimates info over in different TMNT forums as well to hopefully get some new fans on board.  Most people were initially excited about these but quite a few have since given up after not being able to find the damn blind bag figures.
