I’m not too knowledgeable on Bruce Lee, but this set seems like the perfect assortment. And they look fantastic

Excellent!
I'm always stoked any time you make new decals like this

Anyone else notice tampo issues with this wave? Several of mine are looking a little messy

I was pleasantly surprised to find these in my area (Roanoke VA). There was only one set and it was accompanied by a restock of Animated wave 8. But given my area’s track record, I was expecting to go without these for a couple more months

Warcraft mates would send me over the moon. But I’m not going to get my hopes up... I learned my lesson from the cancelled 80’s TMNT line ?

Congrats to everyone! And thank you ☺️ 

Ladies and gents, my very first hand made pop-up card!

For anyone who is curious about how it functions, I made a simple video giving a look at it opening:

7 Days left! Is anybody going to actually enter or am I keeping the prizes for myself?

I’ve got an entry in the works ??

Im just insanely swamped with other things or I may have had it finished by now

I’m pretty excited to see what else you’ll come up with. Another year + of your customs is great news!  Heck, I’d be down for a lifetime subscription

Knuckles is in Set 2, along with Super Sonic, Cream, Cheese and I think Silver. So Shadow would be Set 3. 

That is fantastic news, Zach!  I know we've seen photos of Super Sonic, Cream & Cheese, and Silver. But I haven't been able to track down any images of Knuckles. Has he been shown anywhere?

Packaged photos are up on DST's facebook page

Yeah, the phrasing all but screams that Disney pulled them from Netflix for their own streaming purposes.

the only thing about this development is that all prior seasons are remaining on Netflix. It reminds me of a quote from Loeb about the idea that ‘The Defenders’ don’t necessarily need to be the 4 characters we’ve seen up to this point. The team can adapt and evolve their roster just like in the comics...

I wouldn’t be surprised to see these shows migrate to Disney+ with a soft reboot of sorts

Dang, they’re dropping like flies...

My closest locations each put out 2 full sets (one location put out 3) and as far as I can tell, I’m the only one who has purchased any

Assuming this box set is in fact Captain Marvel; I would love to be able to army build some MCU Skrulls... but not from a 4 pack.

I’d be down ??

I just barely missed the first opportunity

I can confirm Prowlar’s statement. Mine had a glob of paint holding the joint together, and I freed it up with some careful cutting. Good as new

Good thing you're an opener!

Has anyone else been specially selected to take their survey about their experience with Walgreens.com? I did and gave them high marks. On top of that I recommended they offer free shipping to stores. Check your email for the survey. The more feedback, the better.

I got the survey too. I was eager to give positive input on what they did with this wave, and to encourage improvement on Minimate availability.

and I absolutely second the suggestion for everyone to fill out the survey if they get it

The impression I get is that the general activity of the Minimate fandom is being dispersed between multiple outlets. Even on Facebook, there are a few different groups. It isn’t all concentrated in this one forum like it had been in the past, so it’s going to seem like things are dying down even if there is still a strong fan base out there.

For me, it feels like the strongest representation of this community is over on Instagram. That may be partially because of my own interests and the number of Minimate fans I follow over there. But I see constant/growing Minimate-related activity daily on that app

What a legacy.

Everything will bear his absense moving forward. I’ve been dreading the day we will no longer have a Stan cameo in a Marvel movie

That’s a great custom, Luke! And a creative accessory/cut-out, to boot

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of that character, but holy cow that description is a bronze-age comic book concept if I’ve ever heard one ?

For anyone that has this in hand, does that Ghost minimate have a hole in the top of the head for a hair piece? 

Yes, there’s a peg hole for the hood she comes with

I keep finding stores with multiple cases of these.

But still no Animated 9 or Cull Obsidian (finally found Drax/Gamora & the rest of the wave at one store out of twelve, though).

Same here. There was a lengthy drought, then a flood of BC Avengers and nothing else

Netflix canceling these shows only allows Marvel to pick them up. Disney can do “Heroes for Hire” on Hulu. 

I’m sure Disney will want all the shows it can get for when they launch their own streaming service. Letting the existing Netflix/Hulu shows run their course then porting anything they can over to Disney Play seems like a strategy that company would embrace
