So the only lines you have ever collected have been TMNT and MVC? Since Buffy Mates have never been even a remote possibility? Or were there other lines that ended/you gave up?

No interest in Kingdom Hearts? X-Files?

Just based on your interests, I'm willing to bet we introduce something for 2018 that gets your attention, but I guess we'll see. 

My main pull into Minimates was the MvC3 line, but I've bought The X-Files ones, Big Bang Theory, Peter Pan, Thundercats,  Spongebob, some Ghostbusters, the majority of the TMNT line and the odd other one. TMNT was ended just as it was about to get really good, Spongebob continuation seems like a no hoper, Pan was unfinished (those dang missing lost boys), and the X-Files release was so long ago I figured that the second set was probably nixed too (I kinda have a feeling we'd get more versions of Mulder and Scully too, rather than the Gunmen or Doggett).

I suppose I was hoping to be able to boost my MvC collection, as they are by far my favorites and they make up the bulk of my collection. I was annoyed at the time we didn't get the Ultimate cast (Frank West, Strider, Rocket Raccoon etc), and I figured Infinite was our chance to get them. I guess not :(.

I'm not a Kingdom Hearts fan (at least not yet as I've never played it) and I've got just about everything from Marvel I'd want, short of a set specifically aimed at the 90s animated X-Men/Spiderman shows.

Zach and Chuck have both said we aren't getting MvC:I minimates, sadly.

Oh well that's that, then.

Too bad, but with the TMNT 'Mates cancelled, no chance of a Buffy line and no more MvC ones. I guess I'm done with 'Mates :/.

Is there anything you can say about potential Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite Minimates? Maybe we can finally get Frank!

That's a bummer...

I was going to get both sets, but I didn't pre-order because I wanted to wait until they were both released and order together. Shipping to the UK is getting more and more expensive and I wanted the full lot together.

I'm so happy about the 80s 'Mates, and while it's disappointing that we didn't get some of the 2012 characters I'd have liked (Dogpound/Fishface among others), I'm just happy about those 80's Mates!

I don't know if we can expect any more waves from the 80's, as they've done pretty much every 'necessary' character, but I do feel like at the very least Erma was important to the identity of the show and should get made.

I for one would love to see a 3rd and 4th 80's wave look like:

Wave 3:
Erma
Zak
Kala
Genghis Frog
Napoleon Bonafrog
Undercover Donatello
Punk Rock Mikey
Slash

Wave 4:
Leatherhead
Vern
Burne
Dask
Atilla The Frog
Genghis The Mad Frog
Leather Jacket Raph (Ghetto Blaster)
Human Disguise Leo

Has anyone posted a pic of a Vinimate and Minimate next to each other yet?  I'm interested to see how they look side by side.

Would be interested in seeing this too.

Stay Puft looks really cool.

I don't believe those rights would ever be packaged together. So it would need to be a separate conversation, and probably a double royalty situation, which is tough at this price point 

Understandable. Though Usagi was in the original 80s figure lineup which I believe retailed for quite low costs too.

With all the talk of how Sakurai felt at the end of Smash for 3ds and Wii U's development, maybe it'll be 2018. This could help out this license. Does anyone else have any other option we can look at? 

Depends really. Sakurai is working on a new, unknown project. We don't know how much input he'd need to have into a Switch port, even if it's enhanced.

With Mario Odyssee coming out around the holiday too, Smash is a bit iffy as to when it would conceivably release.

No new game in 2016/2017

Colorful

Nervous knows most of the characters (Probably)

Excuse me if i forgot any.

Thanks

There are persistent rumours that a Smash Bros port for the Switch is in development. The source is solid. Odds are if it's true, then it could be released around the holiday this year.

Can someone list me all of the 'criteria' for the rumours so far? 

If this is Smash then this'd be a HUGE deal to me considering I write for Source Gaming. A predominantly Smash Bros-centred website.

I bet that will piss off some fans.

Without a doubt.

I still need to play Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 on my xbox360.  I bought it used for $25 thinking the girlfriend would want to play it.  Then she complains about how I'm supposed to let her win lol.  Not enough hours in the day!

 

Wolverine has got to be in the basic game though right?  He's been a staple in the series as far as I can remember.

He's the only character to have been in the entire series so far. It sounds like he won't make the base game, but I think he'll be the first DLC character.

For people who are worried about the lack of Fox characters, the guy who initially leaked the existence of MvCI has said that they won't be on the base game but they're a 'done deal' for DLC.

I didn't really know whether this thread would belong in the Marvel or video games section, but I think Marvel would be more appropriate.

With the announcement of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, could some Minimates be around the corner? We got ones for MvC3 after all.

Are DST still looking into a way of releasing these or can we metaphorically stick a fork in them?

I take it these have been cancelled?

....

I hope that Zach didn't get trapped beneath a ton of boxes when he was looking for the X-Files minimates...

According to Luke's site Series 5 has a release of July also? Is that incorrect? Or would it be best to wait a week so I can order the ones from Series 4 and 5 that I want together to save on shipping?

I hope they make an Elf and a Beetlejuice Minimate.

I can't remember seeing the Easter Bunny or St Patrick's Day elf in the film. Where are the designs of these characters coming from? Did Burton have designs of these characters?

I'm so excited for these. I may have to get another pack and make a Hank Moody.

Also, Buffy Minimates would be the greatest thing of all time, especially if they include Angel characters like Doyle and Fred.

I would be all over Buffy Minimates, every single one of them would be in my collection

Same. I also like your idea of bringing back the cast for a new show. Make it happen, Joss!

At this point I'd even take the scrapped Faith spin off. Eliza is still pretty young and doesn't seem to be up to much.

After finishing what they've aired of the show, I really wish they'd at least make a separate minimate line for it . It's so popular that I can't imagine it not selling well.

I heard some ramblings about the possibility of 80s Turtles, is that still a thing?
