Garth s such a prick.

Scratch "Create a new Pirate Contest". Let's do a "Create a zombie(s) Contest next".

I feel an Internet Zik meme coming...

Did you just say "start a Build A Pirate Contest?"

This was a lot of fun! Congrats guys!

Not Avengers, eh? Maybe there will be an Alpha Flight box set after all!

Check out the comments on Little Rubber Guys... I obviously cherry picked comments but my first thought when I saw Zik was, "Woa, what are those Rubber dudes gonna do when they see this!!!!!"

So...no Alpha Flight? Bummer. I think AFX Exclusive will be a 25th Anniv. Star Trek The Next Generation set.

Thanks Gillbob and Geo! Now what's the deal with Hope? All I know is that she returns some point in the future before the universe is destroyed in the Ultron War. Old Tony had it on his time stream map. Dammit, who let Miry get a job?

Can someone spoil for me why Juggernuat is dressed like Colossus? My comic reading is still Heroic Age era. My personal impressions of the exclusives: AvX - I thought Hope was a baby. Is this a future version or did she age freakishly fast? These are ok and I like the theme better than Age of X and Vamp Wolverine. Spidey - Blah. If the movie is good I may appreciate more. I wasn't into the Avengers looks until after I saw the movie. Walking Dead - I appreciate how the style captures the comic art but Max Zombies looked more fun to me. Still I'm incredibly excited for these Minimates. And yes, this was a spoiler to me. I have no idea who the Governor is as well but it goes with the territory. Juggernaut dressing as Colossus is a spoiler too. Battle Beast - I hated the Dragonfly on first look but he's growing on me. I think he'd look better if scaled properly in the photo. He doesn't look insect-y enough to me. Weird color choices. Oh well. I'll get them all.

Sadly, I think the prospects for the homeless with mental illness who live on the streets for over thirty years is very grim. From the National Coalition for the Homeless: Combine that with a likely addiction disorder (same source): Despite the stereotype of most homeless being old guys, the largest percentage of homeless are actually children (same source): I've had some first hand experience with child homelessness as my two oldest were homeless prior to being taken into foster care and adopted by my wife and me. Few can comprehend the horrors they've been through, though you'd never know now.

Updated the thread title for everyone.

Another hint! The property will be a musical group that produced a record. 80s, bananas, records...IT'S BANANARAMA box set!!!!

So...hints we have thus far: DST SDCC Exclusives: 1 box set w/ 4 mates 3 2packs AFX SDCC Exclusives: 2 box sets w/ 4 mates each * the 3 2packs are Battle Beasts * new property will debut based on 80s property that has not been 'mated before (was it confirmed these will be an exclusive? Or just shown for later release?) * hints of Alpha Flight * "bananas" * Luke has little interest in the new 80s property but some will really like * No human characters in what? 80s property or box set exclusives? * Marvel Wave 48 and TRU Wave 15 share the same theme and will be showm at SDCC Anything else?

This feeds my belief that either wave 48 or 49 will be a Hulk themed wave. No Hulk B-list on this list! And there are plenty of b-list Hulk characters: Doc Samson The Warbound Hercules Red She-Hulk Silver Savage Jack of Hearts Stingray Hulkling Mastermind Excello (A. Cho) Namora You need to delete your vote then you can revote.

For a successful comeback, retailers need to order it! :biggrin: If the Enterprise does well, we'll see how we follow it up. I am convinced retailers would be on board for a 25th Anniv. TNG box set. With a new Trek movie coming out this would be a great excuse to tap into the nostalgia of the 90s.

Managed to score Slice tonight! I think I'm stuck resorting to eBay. I managed to get the past sets for just under $500 each so I'm hopeful I can get my hands on these too.

First new custom in five years!

Because the Minimate Multiverse needs more villains, I present: Lao Shoo Name: Lao Shoo Species: Giant Cloud Rat Motto: “I Rule” Summary: Quick-witted and selfish, Lao fights for one beast and one beast only – himself. Towering over others of his species, Lao Shoo is known as a formidable fighter among his people. His giant size belies his quickness, taking most by surprise. Lao prefers to fight in complete darkness when his enemies are weakest, and he excels at backstabbing. But if the fighting ever turns, Lao is the first to flee or take advantage of the new opportunity. Many are charmed by Lao’s persuasive speaking but few realize until it is too late that Lao fends only for himself. He has been known to switch sides as many as thirty times in a single battle! Lao craves power and is an unrepentant bully. You can usually find him surrounded by sycophantic underlings that Lao coolly regards as his personal cannon fodder.

We did get a hint that it won't be Zenescope. I'm going with Top Cow's "Artifacts". You have Top Cow's 20th Anniversary this year and USA Today buzz: http://www.usatoday.com/life/comics/story/2011-12-05/artifacts-top-cow/51662486/1 Witchblade, The Darkness, Angelus, Magdalena, Tom Judge, Aphrodite IV, Michael Finnegan, Glorianna Silver, Sabine, Mr. Black, Jake McCarthy, Hope Pezzini, and Tarsem Vox. Plenty of characters for a wave or two.

What was the briefcase for? To store his ponytail scrunchies? Tomorrow.

Love Thundegaar the Hippobarian. And Twig made quick work of the old generation!

Zach has hinted before that new comic 'mates are on the horizon. I'm not sure they would be TMNT. Sounds like they will be more around the "Femme Fatales" theme. Some ideas: Top Cow's Artifacts Darkness, Witchblade, Magdalena, Cyberforce, Tom Judge Dark Horse Hellboy Hellboy, Abe Sapien Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales Goldilocks, Little Miss Muffet, Snow Queen

I bring absolutely nothing to the table in the event of an apocalypse.

HAS stock had been hanging on so I dunno what's going on. Hasbro is an interesting animal as I would love GI Joe Minimates. Hopefully the wackiness opens up an opportunity to license Joe out for specialty waves.
