Here's a fun packaging error - the very first TMNT set I grabbed for myself out of the shipment has them packed in the NYCC G.I. JOE inner sleeve. I checked a dozen TMNT sets after that, and they all had the correct inner sleeve.

Thank you, sir! Should I just send you money now or do you want me to wait? LoL

@luke314piwhen will the preorder for Cardiac go up? No rush, I just don’t wanna miss this one.
I am guessing Sunday the 23rd for past subscribers and Monday the 24th for a general preorder.

Yep it's Cardiac! @Scorpion nailed it this time, although I suspect this may have been who @Freaqualizer was thinking of and held back so others could guess?
-
Ours will ship out on October 7th. I'm glad the wait time wasn't very long on these!

I may have an unfair advantage here, but, I do believe I know who it is. I shan’t say so I don’t ruin it for anyone else. I can’t wait for this one. Probably in my top 5 most wanted minimates of all time!
I appreciate that, as I 'm curious to see what people will guess. 🙂

@luke314pi, is this someone who is trying to avenge the death of a loved one?
Yes 🙂

Why do all of the VHS versions look consistently larger than the Series 1 versions?
I checked, and while both versions have hip risers, the VHS figures have slightly larger hip risers that add a tiny bit more height.

Here are some comparison pics:
Personally, I prefer the VHS colors.

Holy smokes! Are you telling me you have planned out the next 41 custom minimate characters? You're working 3 and a half years ahead?
Yes 😅 - the planning is part of the fun for me, and also the space that my custom supplies was taking up in my house was starting to becoming a problem. By breaking down all of the sets and sorting them like this, I was able to recycle hundreds of Minimate boxes and dozens of large boxes yesterday. Happy wife, happy life. 🤣

I spent the entire day today sorting through thousands of Minimate parts for my upcoming customs. It was a labor of love, and a huge relief to have the next phase of my customs all planned out. I keep all of the parts for each character in their own white box, so that when I am ready to create the next release, I can just pull that box and everything is ready for me. Minimate on top for scale.

Luke, are those the Valeros, Human Fighter hands and boots? Pretty sure I have those sitting in my parts bin currently.
Yes 😁

Zabu has typically been depicted as un-striped, so I may do a little further customization -- @Luke do you think an acetone solution would work on those? I'm unfamiliar with Lego decals.
I can try it out on an extra Lego piece and see.
-
The full set with Ka-Zar is now sold out, but I do have some Zabu accessory sets left.

.....that's a Lego sabertooth (sabretooth) tiger which has lost its hideous lego 'spots' . It works well with a great custom .
Yep that's exactly right!

Thanks guys! Here is the preorder link: https://forms.gle/4taeYRruyzRSUmrp6

No one got it this time - it was Ka-Zar and Zabu!
Ka-Zar includes parts to make both his modern and classic looks, as well as a knife, torch, and baby dinosaur. The full set with Ka-Zar and Zabu is a limited edition of 22. And then I have an additional 20 of the Zabu accessory set, which includes Zabu and a baby dinosaur. The preorder link was sent out to previous subscribers / binge purchasers, and I will post the link publicly here tomorrow.

Without giving it away, has anyone guessed it or gotten close yet?
No. 😊 And I will say, this is not one of my obscure characters.
-
One of them will be a full custom Minimate. The other is more of an accessory, and will also be sold separately in case someone has already made a quick custom of the other character.

Candy Southern and Stevie Hunter?
Nope, but I like the guess!

Does anyone happen to have a copy of, or an unused sheet of, Luke's Shockwave decals that came with a Luke Crate a few years back?
PM sent 🙂

I was mistaken - these are arriving next week.

Here's a hint for my next release: These two are among the X-Men's oldest friends.

I would love all of the above, and I would even buy different versions of some of them.
