If anyone is looking for a large selection of X-Menimates, including all the 90s looks being discussed, I just put my whole collection up in the Flea Market. :/

When did the Select line get cancelled? Those just got solicited!

Geez those figures were fun. That's what so few companies miss these days - these were FUN. TMNT gets it, Power Rangers gets it, WWE is so simple they get it.

These figures were also well-made. Fun and well-made. These shouldn't be mysteries for TOYS!

Saw the movie last night... spoilers ahoy!

With DST's notorious hard-on for everything TOS, I imagine a 4-pack of Trek Minimates commemorating the 30th anniversary of TNG would include Generations Kirk, "Unification" Spock, "Encounter at Farpoint" McCoy, and "Relics" Scotty.

Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard because I could totally see this.

I'm pretty much out of the Minimate game, but I would LOVE a TNG set, especially if the package was neat. Like the saucer section, or an interpretation of the bridge. But only if it includes all nine main characters. No Tasha, no buy. Like, I LOVE that DST made Nurse Ogawa - she was always my top write-in figure (once Tasha was made). But to have her, and Ro Laren, but no Tasha? Seriously giant gap. 

A TNG main character set could be like Playmates old TOS Bridge Crew set, which was awesome. Once augmented with Rand and Chapel.

Sorry to resurrect an older topic, but I'm still debating picking up an SDCC Scarlet Witch and was curious if anyone has tried posing her on the flight stand from Phoenix Five Emma:

To my mind, that looks like it can be used to simulate her blasting off look from the start of the Civil War fight.

I also just saw my last post up there and I still have one Civil War Ant-Man/Falcon set if someone never found one.

I found my Janeway/Seven of Nine set the other night - totally thought I'd already traded this!

Finding figures you thought were gone is a good indicator one has too many.  

Really disappointed that no company really did anything great for Star Trek's 50th. Wish TNG's 30th was getting some love.

Hahaha, DST gonna get in trouble with Disney...!

That was a particularly spoiler-y write-up, so not surprised.

I was just about to post how nice it must be for DST to have all the reference they need early enough to make this film's actual release date, since this movie has been done for awhile! But I see that that won't be the case... again.

I don't know what happened with Alice that almost all of its product is coming out in a different calendar year than the film, but I'm definitely curious. Such a unique situation!

Did we know 

was in this movie?

Very curious if past films are available. Without Elizabeth, this makes me sad.

Anybody pic up the Stephen Strange/Rachel McAdams set? The boxed pic on Amazon makes them look really good.

Series 74:

 

Thor/Valkyrie

Hulk/Loki

Hela/Odin

Hogun/Fandral

 

I don't know if this is a spoiler, so I'll hide it, but

Still no photos? Are these still not shipping? The TRUs around here don't have them yet.

So did anyone pick these up? Hoping for some photos!

Sorry, I read that comment earlier and breezed by it. This time when I saw it, it made me chuckle. Thanks, tones!

Anyone in need of a Falcon/Ant-Man set for cost plus shipping, PM me! Got two, and they are going back to the store later this week.

Or, if anyone wants to trade a Wave 62 Apocalypse or bulked-up Juggernaut, PM me as well!

Add in a new Dark Phoenix!!

That's a good point about the secondary market. I still haven't found a non-extortionately priced Janeway and Seven. 

Holy crap! TRU couldn't give those figures away a year ago. Ebay is so weird.

Not that it matters, but Time Alice is in the wrong outfit. She should be in the other Alice outfit.

I like that you guys made that a variant, though. Creative.

Did anyone buying these actually see this movie? SO BAD.

I always enjoy scanning DST packaging for typos. Can't blame THIS on the Chinese workers!

Sorry, just busting your mini mates.

Anyone pick up SDCC Scarlet Witch? Curious if they sold out at the show, with such a low (?) production run.

Was VERY tempted by the new Black Widow in this line. Her hair makes me think I need it. Don't know why.

But I said NO!

Then visited Walgreens Friday night to see if they had the new X-Men Marvel Legends and noticed that Black Widow Minimate was still down there. Then I noticed it was not Black Widow at all. Someone replaced her and Iron Man with other 'Mates! Her replacement had red hair and freckles (SFvC?) but the Iron Man replacement was just shoddily painted by hand to resemble the colors on the package!

An employee happened to be stocking the aisle next to me so I pointed this out to him. Then I noticed the pack behind it also had creepy hand-painted figures. Then the pack behind it. The pack behind it. And, finally, the pack behind it. FIVE packs all together returned with fake product inside. The employee was super annoyed at the shoddy tape job on the packages, and that they'd been accepted at all. I felt very weird touching these creepy painted things.

People suck sometimes.

I don't own any of those, so I did not know that!

What, did the enthusiasm for re-used parts seem weird to you?

yeah BW looks a little goofy, but to be honest i hated her hair in the movie, too.

YES! I get if it needs to be a wig, but couldn't it be a prettier one? And for a spy, having a hairstyle that obstructs half your face at all times seems a little ... odd-choicey.

Actually, I've been tempted to sell all of my first movie Avengers mates in favor of the AOU updates, but the first Widow's face and hair are the lone reasons I haven't sold them yet. I know, I could sell all but her, but that just seems kinda douchey to me.

Also, reiterating: HEX HANDS!

Includes Hex Hands!

Did you guys see that SW Includes Hex Hands!?!

I was totally fine not buying this, but I want those Hex Hands!!!

Also, whose funeral? The people in the first building explosion? The people in the second building explosion? Or all the people Cap accidentally hurt/killed while helping Bucky?

Is the Banner hairpiece new? It's so very curly.

One of the TRUs near me had all three sets, but only one Hulkbuster. Still not sure I need that, but it does look cool.

I picked up an extra Banner/WM set hoping someone would be interested in trading for a regular AOU Vision and Wave 62 Apocalypse? Just looking for those two figures out of these two lines. PM me!

Also, I wanted to give DST props on Klaue. That likeness is EXACTLY Andy Serkis. The hairpiece isn't right, but it works well enough, but that face is perfect. Just wish that character had more importance, and surprised he made it to TRU and not Vision.
