Yes, yes it would. But I can't help but feel bad when people get excited about things that aren't happening, or dismiss things that actually are. That said, if we finalize the contracts for the licenses that are in negotiation, it'll be pretty amazing.

I hope you're not just going to sit on the sidelines and wait to see who the rest of us picked. Even though you work for DST you are still a member of this forum and thus eligible to vote. I await your list of choices Mr.Oat. Your picks will be kept strictly confidential. I wouldn't want to skew the results. But thank you.

I await these results with joy and trepidation.

Aww, I'm sorry, man. Yeah, here's hoping we get to revisit those someday.

Don't try to get me involved in this thread! I don't want to feed into anything. I already worry I've set up too high expectations. ...Maybe they'll make me a pirate. *dreams*

I may need hazard pay to go onto the Transformers message boards. Risking life and limb, there.

Then that must be correct. I assume he comes with the normal pistol, as well, plus the shotgun. Man, that guy will be heavily armed. Tenime, what's your picture? I can't see it.

I don't think it was a matter of finding them or paying for them, it was a matter of keeping our Beasts separate from others' Beasts.

Anybody here ever go on the Little Rubber Guys forums? Visited the Battle Beasts forums today to say hello. Diverse set of opinions over there.

As far as I know, that is the plan! Unless he uses a giant revolver in the game, I'm going to assume that was a last-minute New York substitute for his usual gun, which was probably left on the floor of the San Diego Convention Center.

Well, if they were all the same, you wouldn't need to interchange them! Yes, pretty sure. Not positive about translucent brown vs. straight clear, but yes. They certainly look that way in the NYCC shots, I'll try to confirm.

KEEP YOUR POWER GLOVES OFF HER! Not that one, this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V9Squtzf_8

Turtle's right -- scaling is off. We did not use SMALLER arms and legs for MODOK. From NYCC: Shulkie and Felicia: Nomad's awesome MvC3xNYCC gallery:

It LOOKS like they ship 1/18? Not sure why I had an earlier date. Apologies. Minimates Vehicles Series 3 SHOULD be 1/25. Ditto SPM KITT. Halo might be a ways off at this point, we went back and retooled some new parts.

What, no Airwolf? And you call yourself an '80s guy... I was too busy watching The Wizard.

Nope, can't do it. You people are extrapolating machines. The General Lee, of course, but also CHiPs, A-Team, Blue Thunder and Herbie the Love Bug.

Wesker is the opposite of shortpacked. He and Doom are the regular figures in both the TRU and specialty assortments. MODOK might be less common, since he's the TRU exclusive. I believe they're currently sending TRU fewer of those than they do of the big guns. But Dormammu was specialty exclusive, so there were fewer of him to begin with.

Apparently, X-23's feet are the selling point of this entire assortment.

There's definitely some scaling issues in Photoshop, but it may be a necessity of the Minimate body that she's a millimeter shorter than Chun-Li (who has a skirt piece) and Felicia (who has a tail). You can't really put in a spacer to give her height without giving her a giant belt or a bulky torso piece.

Nobody listens to me.

Any time you see pictures on white (or blue) like this, they're pictures of prototypes, and therefore are not final. They may not fit together just right, coloring may not be final, and we may not show all of their accessories. For instance, I believe MODOK's jet base will be translucent, and that this Thor comes with a spinning hammer.

What's going on? Oh, yeah. No, don't expect to see anything at Toy Fair -- go by the clock. And while I can say no more, I would base expectations on what we've actually produced, not on what we showed once. Two or three years ago. Or thereabouts.

I'm with this as well. I would love to see an updated First Class Beast without the duck feet. Would be great to see new Hulk style feet for Beast. However, just stick him in randomly ala Wave 31 Angel. I think someone has already Asked DST, but it never hurts to ask again. Just be perfectly clear you mean comic-style, because more movie Minimates ain't happening. We only have limited windows for those figures.

Wave 2 is early spring or sooner, Wave 3 is gonna be late spring.

Great job, Jeff. Your pictures keep getting better and better. Can't wait to see what you deliver next year.
