I did reach out to MWC. No response, but he's busy. I'll try again.

Only two entries? Not a lot of interest in Trek, I guess... I'll give it another day or two.

I do not have a release date on these yet.

Bravo, sir!

Hey, I was going through Uriel's old Minimates artwork, and I found a nice Star Trek piece. It's a Dolim, from Enterprise, I believe, but definitely from the specialty wave of Legacy. Anyone who's interested, say so below, and I'll draw a winner at random.

Hahahaha! Obviously we don't see you enough, Jettstorm. Thank you for the love.

Great customs!

Not sure when we said summer, maybe in the Showcase video? We probably should have updated that. Our pre-orders take six months to turn around. There is no AEW in the June Previews catalog, which goes up for pre-order on May 19. So I don't think we'd see anything until January, unfortunately. And new license or no, we don't usually offer a new product before the previous one has come out. The Young Bucks 2-pack was kind of an add-on, but I don't think we would have offered Series 2 or the ring until Series 1 came out. Now that Series 1 is out, one of the others should be offered soon, but we also have a ton of other licenses and products jockeying for position, and we don't want to dump too many pre-orders at one time. We usually only offer 10-12. It's a juggling act. (I don't fully agree with the "one at a time" rule, but it is what it is.)

Like, in stores before June? Uh-uh, we just showed off the ring in early April, and we need to offer a pre-order first. The ring and Series 2 are both early 2024 at this point.

Me, too! We should be offering either the ring set OR the Series 2 set in late June, I think. No SDCC con exclusive at this time, but maybe I'll bring some blanks for those who missed them in NYC.

I am not aware of any flocking.

Hey all, some people have been asking to see what a Uriel Caton design sheet looks like, so here's one. It's Corsair, although I am not 100% sure this is the final design. It pre-dates Series 81 by a bit. Uriel often drew symmetrical characters in half only, and sometimes he only drew the faces if costumes were pre-determined, but this one is one of the more filled-in sheets. Either way, it's still super-cool, so I'm giving it away! Sound off below if you're interested, and I'll pick someone at random. I'll ship it flat so you can frame it.

Not sure how well Series 2 did, but worth an email to Ask DST.

We have been having discussions.

Unfortunately, when items come in to the website (these happened to hit both warehouses at the same time), they pull them off the site while they process orders. Should be back up in a day or two.

Nice! Set 2 hits stores tomorrow!

If it's hand-drawn, it's likely by Uriel Caton. He still designs for us, but mostly on PVC dioramas and statues. I still have some of his artwork I should give away one of these days. I suppose it could be Nelson Asencio artwork, but that would make it some of the original artwork, from 20 years ago. Nowadays all MM design is done by Barry Bradfield, and he works digitally, I believe.

Not seeing a ship date on these, but that doesn't mean anything. They should hit in the next month or so.

I have always had trouble navigating his site, but I did a search and found a ton of (very old) Minimate reviews. I have reached out to him about revisiting the line 20 years later.

How do you think they got there?

I talk to him, I'm a Poppies judge. I don't think he would do Minimates. Not really his type of product. But I guess there's no harm in asking.
