Thanks guys - I'm glad you're excited! These were a lot of fun to make (and very time consuming!). Here are 4 more characters from the Aliens Sticker Kit. I present to you the Badoon King, Mercurio, Space Phantom, and Lightmaster. I have had some people ask on social why I'm not simply releasing these as full customs, which is a great question. First of all, I don't have the parts to make a full run of each. And second of all, sticker kits are very special to me, as we launched the Ninja Sticker Kit in 2009 with the opening of our store. 😊

I hope you have enough for everyone!

These are printed to order, so quantities will not be limited. 

I am excited to announce 2 new sticker kits that will be arriving on Minimate Showcase Day on Saturday, April 22nd. The Monsters Sticker kit will include 11 characters and the Aliens Sticker Kit will include 9 characters, for a total of 20 new characters to add to your collection. All characters were carefully chosen and designed to work with existing parts, without the need to paint or sculpt. The kits will come with a list of recommended parts and instructions. The stickers are also pre-cut by @groundhog7s to make them even easier to use. The promo images are below, and I will be revealing the rest of the line-up next week! 

Here are screenshots from Diamond's showcase that showed the 2 new G.I. JOE 4-packs, which are straight from the 1970’s – the Adventure Team Box Set and the Super Adventure Team Box Set:

Here are screenshots from Diamond's showcase that showed the 2 new AEW sets, Sting and Darby Allin 2-pack, and an AEW wrestling ring with an Excalibur Minimate and accessories such as a ladder and chair:

For those who are not Retailers: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/MAR232342

@luke314pi Will you be re-offering these? And/or changing the price for those who have already put in an order the first time?

I just realized that my response to this never posted. Since the price and cost changed, and since the original preorders were in our old store, we will be refunding the original preorders and asking people to reorder in our new store here.

Luke,

I got my Zombie Falcon and it is great, I am working on making the custom Hawkeye and Sharon Carter and then I will set-up a display for all the What If? Marvel Zombies.  Thank you.

Kam

Awesome! I am using Wasp from the Ant Man and the Wasp box set in my display, as she seems to be the closest to the episode costume. And then a movie Vision would probably work well, but I like the animated look of Vision from Walgreens Wave 8 for this set.

Thanks guys! Here is the preorder link: https://forms.gle/Jb9NJBAZavtLvxKL6

Blue Marvel

He includes two blue energy accessories and a blue flight stand. He is a limited edition of 32 and I will post the public preorder link tomorrow.

I’m just happy to get some of these right every once in a while! LoL. Can you say what look it will be? Modern or one of his previous looks?

Yes it will be this look:

Ok I needed to make that hint a lot more difficult. 🤣 Yep - it's Blue Marvel! He will be revealed this Sunday. 

Here is a hint for my next custom: This character has a long history, but his first appearance in comics wasn't until the 2000's. This character has been a member of the Mighty Avengers, the Ultimates, and the Defenders.

There's still one custom left from the 2022 plan right?

I guess I don't really think of it in terms of 12 releases anymore, since I moved away from the subscription model. But yes, my next release will be #12 if you start with Doppelganger Cap as the first one in this release set. 😊

Luke's Toy Store.

 

To be fair, that was our sale price to move the rest of our stock. Our original price was $26, which would have been $8.67 per 2-pack.

I'm really impressed with how much I dig Kid Loki, given that I know nothing about the character. 

Can we expect that Hulkling's wings will be detachable?

I just checked, and yep, they are detachable.

Our cases just arrived!

Here is the preorder link: https://forms.gle/XxXhgCRBLccX2hVX9

Thanks to everyone who already preordered!

What If Zombie Falcon:

Zombie Falcon is based on his appearance in the What If series, and he includes a flight stand, face sticker for Zombie Hawkeye, and a face sticker, legs, and vest for Zombie Sharon Carter. All of these were designed using screen grabs from the show, and they are color matched to fit in with your other What If zombies.

To make Zombie Hawkeye using this kit, I recommend any movie Hawkeye figure along with Zombie Captain America's arms and hands. To make Zombie Sharon Carter, I recommend a Sharon Carter hair piece, Zombie Doctor Strange hands, and any blue torso and arms. You could even use Zombie Doctor Strange's torso and arms as long as you turn the torso around so the Eye of Agamotto isn't visible.  

The preorder link was sent out to past subscribers, and I will post the public preorder link tomorrow. This custom is a limited edition of 24. 

For those of you who ordered Vanisher, he is 90% finished and will ship on Wednesday.

I have been having a lot of fun with the excellent Son of Satan custom!

I made some mods to create an alternate look:

That's awesome!

what if zombies?

 

Dave got it this time! I mean, Zach kind of got it, but Dave was more specific. 😅

I wanted more zombies from that series, so my upcoming release will be Zombie Falcon based on his appearance in the What If episode, and he will come with face stickers for Zombie Hawkeye and Zombie Sharon Carter.

I wanted an in-scale trailer for Optimus - this is the closest I could find. It's called Prime Commander by Dr. Wu and it runs around $30. The trailer opens, and the roller can go inside.

Phase 4 has been tough judge. Some of the TV series have been a bit average, some have been a lot of fun. I really liked what they did for WandaVision... but it felt like it was all undone a film later.
I'm very much hoping Quantumania is a return to form after the last couple films.

WandaVision was my favorite Disney+ show so far, but yeah it did seem like Multiverse of Madness reversed and straight up forgot all of the excellent character work they did with Wanda.

Holy buckets, not many Phase 4 MCU listed dontcha know.

Spidey is the only recent hotdish. Oh yeah sure, you betcha. Uff da.

I do have Shang-Chi as #13 on my full list lol, but I did not really enjoy Love and Thunder or Multiverse of Madness. And I haven't really thought about where Wakanda Forever fits in yet.

I'm not sure I could make a definitive list either. I do think that, for the most part, that first Avengers picture is really well put together. Otherwise, I have a fondness for the first Thor film, I find that Branagh was a very fitting choice to implement the pseudo-shakespearian aspects of those early Thor comics. Similarly, the first part of The First Avenger is a really great watch. Feels just like Johnston's adaptation of The Rocketeer from ten years earlier, which I maintain is an excellent movie – in some ways perfect. 

I find that I have more of a fondness for the early Marvel movies of the early 2000s, as they were the movies of my youth. The first Spider-Man has always had a special place in my heart (especially since I have developed an affinity for Evil Dead II) and Ang Lee's Hulk has become a favorite of mine as well. I think his background in family centered dramas in Taiwan positioned him well to tackle the psychological aspects of Hulk which have made him one of my favorite characters. Even that editing gimmick I find really fun!

A different response than you were probably anticipating, Luke, but I can't help myself when talking about movies 

You nailed exactly what I love about the first Thor and Cap movies. And although I did limit my list to MCU movies, I do think Spider-Man 2 is one of the best superhero movies of all time. Although now is it technically part of the MCU after No Way Home? 🤔

I love making top 10 lists. Here are my favorite MCU movies in order. What are yours?

1. Avengers: Infinity War

2. Guardians of the Galaxy

3. Iron Man

4. Captain America: The First Avenger

5. Avengers: Endgame

6. Avengers

7. Captain America: Civil War

8. Spider-Man: No Way Home

9. Thor: Ragnarok

10. Captain America: Winter Soldier
