Yes, we are lowering the price to reflect the decreased number of characters. I'm sure people would like us to go lower, but this is as low as we can go unless we go back to four-packs. 

Product pic:

That is actually a digital mock-up, believe it or not, but that is the file that will be printed on the final product, so I imagine it will look like that. 

FYI, there will be an exclusive AEW Vinimate of Dr. Britt Baker DMD put up for order on the website next weekend. It is technically exclusive to the Starrcast VI event in Chicago (Schaumburg), but it will also be available online to those not in attendance. I will be in Schaumburg, in case anyone is going. It will be bagged with a space for her signature. And we're working on another one for our next event (not NYCC, likely SDCC). 

Glad everyone likes them!

The Vinimates 2-pack should ship late September.

I have asked about more Minimates, but I have not heard any news. 

Not sure. Sales on both cartoon sets were strong, but we haven't had much luck with the game itself. We did have some game-based product (not Minimates) in the works, but approvals have been slow, so I am not sure we would expand in that direction.

There were just 4 waves of Marvel kubricks (2003-2004) , just 28 figures & 4 secrets . The 4 secrets were Peter Porker ,Venom Ham Black Peter Porker, Venom-Punisher & .....Doppelganger .  How on earth haven't we had those characters 'minimated' *?

Amazingly Doppelgänger is the only one out of those 4 that has a Minimate equivalent but that was not a *comic-based version ......I wonder ?

I may be misunderstanding, but our Doppelganger was definitely comic-based. It was in the Maximum Carnage series.

Minimate Database: Doppelganger

Venom Punisher is a pretty easy QC.

Tiger Force product is exclusive to Target, I believe. So a TF set is unlikely. 

I've been pushing for New Warriors for a while. And I'm not even a big fan, I think I owned #1, I just like their team looks -- Nova, Namorita, Night Thrasher, Firestar, Justice, Speedball. Although I think we waited too long, it would need to be five. (DItto Thunderbolts.)

DD set goes up for pre-order on August 25.

The return of DC minimates confirmed!! LoL 

Apparently, my phone is a DC fan.

We recently started discussing Exclusive sets for 2024 conventions, and TF MM were on the list, especially based on how well they did at the show. So it may be July, but I think you'll see more.

So perhaps I am just a lonely voice , someone who loves Spider-Man & loves Minimates , someone who actually loved  Waves 76 & 77 .....2 of the strongest waves in years with totally worthwhile Spider-Man variations  .   I guess my problem is that I collected Walgreen Minimates , Walgreen Minimates waves (generally) had at least one Spider-Man variation (sometimes 2 ) in each wave , if there wasn't a Spider-Man then there was a Venom or a Spider-Woman/Girl ! 

Maybe 'animated versions don't count' ?   I can count .

I'm sorry, I hadn't thought about Walgreens,  they feel like ancient history to me now. To be fair,  they were based on the Spider- Man Animated Series and that series is chock-full of spider-characters (Miles, Arana, Gwen, Venom), so we were going to get a lot of Spider. 

If you count Walgreens, there may not be a lot that's new for you in the next set. But as these are comic-based, they do have a lot more detail, new sculpted parts, etc. Hopefully we'll show them off on October at NYCC.

I believe it hit our web store warehouse, so it should reach the main warehouse shortly.

"Blind packs & chase figures "  & 'exclusives' have left their legacy & IMHO a stain on the minimate line .   

While chase figures are certainly not fun, and were not strictly required for placement, exclusives have been part of the line from the very beginning, and existed out of necessity. We would never have gotten in Target and TRU and Walgreens and Hot Topic without exclusives, and the line would have been very short lived.

And blind packs got us back into mass retail at Kmart and Gamestop. Sure, Mass Effect had its issues, as did TMNT at times, but blind packs we only tried once for Marvel, and they were not rare nor highly sought after.

Ben Reilly may be invloved (sic) but TBQH I am tired of a line driven by someone that cannot fathom that 96 previous Spider-Man figures are almost enough .

Besides Chuck being a fan, he's Marvel's #1 character. We're always going to make him. If you don't count the What If set, I THINK we haven't made a red-and-blue Spider-Man since wave 76 in 2018, or black costume since 2019's wave 77. He's actually overdue. Pretty sure Marvel Legends makes a new Spidey every other year or so.

Beautiful! 

There is a woman in the set.

A sixth micro-figure will be included. 

Ben Reilly may be involved. 

Should still be coming. 

Best I could find. Sorry!

You need to have room in your attachments folder, there's a size limit. You can delete previous attachments to make room, those pictures just cease to exist on the forum. Attachments are on your profile page.

Or you can link to a pic hosted on your socials. 

I will see if we shot yay shots at the office -- I do not have a set yet, we actually sold out (!) in our main warehouse, and had to request the remainder of the 1,987 run from the factory. 

Not sure at this time. I am eagerly anticipating an update. 

I'll push for it! I think the TMNT sets are doing well. 

I was all for the wrestler Turtles as a box set until NECA went ahead and did it. 

Hmm....  

I may have misspoke, it is based on a 2010s arc. Sorry.

This is not the Echo set. We will slot her in ASAP.
