I hope the six pack is a most wanted set with Bullseye and others that are extremely rare and expensive. I think we have had enough Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, etc. sets to last us a lifetime.

I hope DST are also able to make minimates based on the books about Drizzt. 

I must be the only one excited for these.

Oh it’s super successful, fully backed with 8,227 in the same day with 47 days left.

I backed it even though originally I wasn't going to. It turned out even better than I was expecting so I couldn't pass it up. I just hope we get one more character as part of the stretch goals.

Will there be an opportunity for single minimates or 2-packs with this single carded aspect?

I would love to see this. Ao much nostalgia if I actually saw them on the pegs at a store like this. Also I would be good with 4-packs on a blister cards like Transformers. Just as long as they include file cards for each character.

I don't understand how something like this and the Transformers Minimates aren't at Walmart or Target. The crappy micro metal G.I. Joe figures were at them and as far as I know sold poorly. These would do great though in my opinion. People are loving the G.I. Joe Classified line. Put these on a peg next to them and people would gobble them up. They are a lot cooler than the over priced G.I. Joe Reaction figures that I see sitting on the pegs at Target.

I think he is trolling.

sorry if i missed it but what is this license?

I'm wondering the same thing. I might have to go look through all the recent DST Facebook posts to see what new licenses they have announced lately.

Also I was thinking that maybe nrobot was just being sarcastic and joking around, but perhaps he was being serious and is an asshat after all. Thanks for your response back to his rude comments Zach. We appreciate all that you do.

Series 2 carded goes up for pre- order in late June. 

I believe we will have Series 3 and maybe 4 at SDCC in July. 

Because of the last-minute withdrawal of approval and subsequent character change, the SDCC set is now (I believe) a NYCC set. So October. Sorry about that. 

 

Hey Zach is the NYCC set a 4-pack or a bigger set? I don't recall if you ever stated what it was. You also originally stated that the set was of characters that we have already seen, but with different looks. Is that still the case? Im just wondering how the civilian minimate figure fits into that comment.

Waterslide Decals work great for putting emblems on things.

I've got a HISS I want to 3d print but I don't want to print all of the tank treads and pins to join them. And that's the only option unless I want to do some modelling work myself. Maybe one day.

I have the files for Sgt. Slaughters Triple T Tank. It is made for G.I. Joe Classified figures so you would have to reduce the size quite a bit. Look up cannibal869 on thingiverse if you want to download it.

Sweet. I can't wait to get this set. The minimate drought has sucked. What was the last set released? Was it the G.I. Joe FCBD set, or maybe the Dark Phoenix wave?

I would love to see them do a reboot of the Predator minimates. This time give them sculpted mandibles and longer dreads to look more movie accurate.

I'm pretty sure Zach said that this set didn't have any new characters so it had to have been one that we already have, or will be getting whenever they ship. I'm sure these are just re-releases of  minimates we already have but in cartoon accurate colors. Maybe Zach can let us know what their issue was. Was the color not close enough to the cartoon look? Did they want a different Cobra minimate included other than the one you guys had chosen? I just find it odd that at the last moment they told DST that something needed to be changed,

So are the reveals tonight at midnight Zach? I can't recall what was stated because I'm getting too dang old and my memory is starting to fail me these days.

Hasbro has Sgt. Slaughter back under contract.

Now's the time to strike DST! Get me a Sarge figure!

I was shocked to see the reveal. Valaverse has just recently released two Sgt. Slaughter figures. I honestly didn't see this coming. it was a great surprise. Now we just need to wait two years for him to be available to buy?

I got an inkling and I need to put it here for prosperity:  I think this set is going to be based on The Last Ronin.  Either a two pack with the titular turtle and casey jones or a four pack with those two plus like, I dunno April and Baxter Stockman? 

Honestly, I'm not reading the book cause it's too dang expensive, but I'd still buy the heck out of a set.

 

Maybe it is a set based on the new game. I would be totally cool with that.

I think the license could be Dragon Ball Z. The show has been on forever. They have lots of different crazy hair styles and also could come with different energy effects.

This is awesome! Is there a SHARC model? Also, any rec’s for a good 3D printer?

I know there is a file for the SHARC out there somewhere. There is a guy that is just finishing up a print of one that he made for the G.I. Joe Classified series.

Marrow

Calisto

Mimic

Maggot

Random (X-factor)

Also Stryfe is sorely missing from the rogues gallery. A 2-pack with him and Zero would be awesome.

I used to love collecting the MUSCLE figures when I was little.  They would make pretty cool minimates. Also any ETA Zach on when the new license will be revealed?

I'm thinking that the new license is possibly Disney's Gargoyles minimates. I would be up for a few sets of them. I was a fan of the show when I was younger.

I have been looking for a 1:24 or 1:25 scale model Apache helicopter to buy so I can make a Wild Bill and give him his Dragonfly to pilot. Unfortunately the only one I can find is well over $100 and is made partly of iron. I wish I had a 3D printer and knew how to design things and print them out.

They are absolutely horrible sets. I bought a few of them. The minifigures are garbage, the vehicles have to be glued together or else they fall apart. The wheel don't even turn decent on the ones that I have. The quality control is almost non existent. I do want the HISS just to have in the background though but I'm pretty sure a minimate will not fit in it.

These just make me want minimate versions of the vehicles. I am sure they would sell well enough. I would not have them look deformed though like the BTTF Delorean did. Sell them along with their driver for the same price as the 3 3/4 size vehicles and they should easily be bought up by people. G.I. Joe is a line that is just screaming to have vehicles for them.

Here is my Wasp custom from about 12 years ago or so.

I'm not sure how to post pics these days. I used to use Photobucket on here many, many years ago. I have no idea what works these days though. I usually just post my pics on the Facebook group lately. It is so much easier.
