More sets have been discussed,  yes. No big Krang, since he is in Set 2, but I don't know who else would work as a Vinimate. Cudley?

More sets have been discussed! The SDCC set did well, so no re-energonization is needed, they may simply be tied to conventions (but still readily accessible). We'll see!

Just give me Bryan Danielson Zach!

I'll be honest, he's not on my short list, but I know he's very popular. MJF is obviously a must, and we need more women. 

Don't e-mail a retailer. They usually kick it back to us anyway, and it erodes their confidence in the product. 

SOrry, Chooch, feel free to reach out to customer service (webcustomerservice@diamondselecttoys.com).

Sorry! Not sure about that either. I've made my suggestions, but I have not heard that we have moved ahead on Series 3 yet. 

But Series 2 is likely a January release, and the ring in spring. 

Not 100% sure. February is the estimate release month, but it may be out as early as January, I'll ask. About the ring, also. 

I think stackability was discussed at one time, but it did not make its way to this iteration. 

And no peg inside, but the dimensions make it such that most regular-sized Minimates do not move around very much, so they always appear to be standing up, at least the ones I tried it with. 

Not for everyone, obviously, but I thought they could be useful in many situations. 

Technodrome set is in stores Dec. 20.

Party Wagon will be offered late January, sorry for the delay. 

Now that Barry does most of the MM packaging himself, I don't always get to see it before it goes out, but that looks fantastic! Can't wait to get mine...

Anticipation is killing me. How long till we get reveals

We may not have any news until Spring, but I'm not sure how they're announcing con exclusives next year, which these will most likely be. Fingers crossed. 

In case anyone is interested in small display cases for Minimates, well, we made some. They're available on the Ironguard Supplies website, in packs of two. They won't hold a Hulkbuster, but most normal size Minimates will fit.

Believe it or not, Arise is NOT one of the storyilines we are doing... yet. 

And as much as I adore Shipwreck, he is not one of the next four Joes. 

They will be on sail 12/6. Sub to our newsletter for updates. Water you waiting for? 

Last Ronin MM are in the warehouse. They may ship as early as next week, we'll see tomorrow, I think.

Hmm. You had said Firefly had not made it in yet...

 

So...

 

Flint, Jaye, Zartan, Serpentor, Mindbender, Shipwreck and Gung Ho as the seven I named. And if it's 2 Joes, 2 Cobras, the Major Bludd is then one I missed.

Not quite there, but I may not be helping when I say things like "Firefly hasn't made it in yet..."  

NO talk of vehicles at this time. We're just trying to get the figures out.

As for sets 3-5, Imma still support Flint, Jaye, Zartan, Shipwreck, Spirit, Serpentor, Firefly, Mindbender, Stalker, Zarana, Gung Ho, the Twins and the Dreadnok trio of Buzzer, Torch and Ripper are the big, important ones.

You named seven out of the first 8, but we'll see how it goes.

As a Joe fan, I humbly suggest Flint, Lady Jaye, Zartan and Cobra Trooper would be a great set; can be many different stories.

Unless you wanna do a troop builder set; BAT, Viper, Crimson Guard, Trooper. EZ.

I think we have learned over the years not to include an army-builder in a unique-character box set. We have talked about a troop-builder set, nothing firm yet. Hoping to make 3, 4 and maybe even a fifth set of main characters happen first. We'll see.

Assuming all of our machinations come to fruition, they will likely be mixed up, some Cobra, some Joe, based on a specific episode/mini-series. We'll see how it shakes out. 

Zartan is on the list, but I think we're a little ways from a Dreadnoks set. Maybe we can do one down the road, with Zarana. 

I'm surprised they have any left! They supposedly sold through the amount we had available when they put them up for sale earlier this year, but maybe we got them extra from the factory, or someone cancelled their orders. Either way, snap them up, we only have five hero sets left in our own store, and I don't think our Black Friday sale has started yet. We're sold out of villains. 

Firefly is not in Series 3 or 4, but hopefully we can keep this series going. Army builders have also been discussed. 

Well, I'd argue the "never got going" point, we put out four sets, but we were just talking about the next sets last night -- yes, I was discussing them on my off-hours, that's how seriously we're taking it! Hopefully you'll see more sets offered for release next summer, we're renewing our Hasbro license and have some tentative plans. Series 3 and 4 may be slightly reconfigured for packaging reasons, but we want to put them out. 

Great customs! I read about them in the Marvel Handbook, but never any of their stories.

Looks like yes. I had hoped it would come off, because she does fight without it, but the design sheets say otherwise. Sorry.
