I am not sure of the status of our MMPR license overall, let alone for Minimates. I am still waiting for the Vinimates 2-pack to ship. (It will, there are just some factory issues.) 

Godzilla, we're moving forward with new Gallery Dioramas and busts, but I do believe MM are dead extinct. 

While the animated items have been no problem, including our Venger diorama, getting traditional D&D items approved has been more difficult. I think if the approvals were going better, you would have seen Gallery Dioramas by now, and Minimates might have been possible. As it stands I would not count on it. 

It was half villains, half different Spidey outfits. I don't think I can share the art, sadly.  

We do have the license for the new game, we're doing some Gallery Dioramas. We developed a whole wave of Minimates for the last game, but our buyer backed out, I'm not sure who it was developed for. It would have been great, if the buyer had come through. But I'll ask about Minimates.  

Well, my product request just got cancelled, which means the warehouse is well and good fully sold out of this set. Thank you everyone for making it a success. It was mostly sold out before Hasbro even expressed interest, but they finished it off. Hopefully the Villains set does even better!

I'll look into it.

Even I did not know the second cloak would be translucent.

I do not discriminate! If you ask for a promo, I give you a promo. Adult or kid.

There may have been a time I was more strict about daily allotments, but that was when we handed them out willy-nilly. And I don't like when people come up and ask for "that thing we give out every year." We get less of those now, but if they can't say "Minimate", I don't give it to them. 

I don't want to throw any companies under the bus. I usually try to give promos away on this site to help out those who miss out, but I still love handing a free Minimate to a kid.

Panel will be Thursday, 4-5 PM. This is tentative, I don't think we're SUPPOSED to announce it yet, because it might change. 

We tried to get a COUPLE of licensed promo MM going, but both licensors pulled out at the last minute for different reasons, so no promo this year. I'm kinda bummed about it, I wish I could go back in time and make a different promo happen. Both cancellations were totally unexpected, and we simply ran out of time. 

BUT I think we're going to bring a new AEW Vinimate! We'll be announcing it before the show, on July 10. We were hoping she'd be there to sign, but we just found out she's not, so I'm not 100% sure we're bringing it, but fingers crossed. 

And, of course, we'll have the exclusive Transformers Movie MM set for sale.

Both of Krang's heads are connected to the torso cover. 

Very cool!

Fairy certain I never got my pre-order from Diamond for AEW. 

That's disconcerting. Could you check? AEW Series 1 is in stock on the site, Young Bucks are not, yet.

Looks like Krang's android head is static. Zach, can you please confirm this?

I'll check the designs again, but I believe the head is part of the chest slipcover. The android never really had a neck in the cartoon anyway. 

Here is fine,  I guess.  Maybe don't spread them around yet.  I would like IGN to give them a big reveal. It's a big publicity opportunity for us. 

Took some pics of the set:

Correct. Sorry for the accidental early launch, IGN will be showing off the set OFFICIALLY early next week. 

You're welcome! I'll do another one soon.

Yes, they say All Out.

Technodrome pre-orders open June 23

Hey, we went alphabetical -- it's their fault they posed wrong.

In box pics! No Yay shot yet, but they come with a kendo stick, chair, and bare arms. 

These look great!
