I love Marvel Minimates, but I don't love these. At this point, I must own about 1,200 minimates, but this year it looks like I won't be buying many. Starting to feel like we will never get the Brotherhood, Banshee, etc. Zach, your the best so if you read this I don't want you to think it is any criticism of you. Just for me, this is not looking like a good year. Hopefully Aliens will fill the void.

I did this months ago and nothing happened.

Another month gone by and no word from Digger...

Communication is the key. If Digger would have just kept us in the loop and continued to post here, we would give him the benefit of the doubt. But that is not what he has done. He used us and this board to get his project off the ground and then has disappeared. That's what makes it seem so shady. He completely altered his behavior and has avoided this site like the plague. DST has zero responsibility to us. They were going to do Digger a favor, but Digger hasn't held up his part of the deal. Zach has been nice to Digger by not just saying it is 100% up to Digger and they are waiting for him to come through with the designs and cash. I feel bad for the people that paid all that money for custom minimates that Digger could just make himself. Why he won't help those people I will never understand.

I think we are pretty much screwed. Digger has little to no incentive to fulfill at this point. This project is going nowhere and he has already moved on. If kickstarter won't help, we are in trouble.

Anyone run into Digger at the Long Beach convention? It is amazing that he hasn't come back to these message boards to give us an update. When he needed support from us, he was here every day. Now he is nowhere to be found.

Just realized that you can still leave comments on the Agent 88 kickstarter page. Not that it helps... Looks like he hasn't sent the art books either. How does kickstarter let someone raise over $100k and fulfill zero rewards?

That's not good. At this point, I can't imagine that these will ever get made. The production numbers must be so small.

Interesting that he gave no timeframe for delivery. If they were close to production, he would have mentioned it.

Good for Digger! He figured out how to get a 16+ month interest free loan from us. At what point is it official that we won't be getting these figures? It is pretty obvious that they are not happening.

Is there a minimate promo/giveaway this year? Psyched for nycc!

Thanks Luke. You have given us much more info than Digger. I bought a bunch of exclusives from your store and I am very happy to support you. Just wish Digger would communicate with us at least a little. We really rallied to support him and then he basically disappeared for a year. I am sure it will work out fine eventually. I am probably whining too much, just been a bit cranky lately.

I don't blame you for not questioning him. Wouldn't be a bad idea for him to give us an update though. At this point, all the excitement for these new mates is long gone, but if he would just show us something, the excitement could return.

Did we get any news from Digger? I know the kickstarter update says end of August, but I was hoping to actually see something or hear so actual news.

August is coming fast. Any word on these yet?
