I hope to see Pumyra above anyone else. I'd also like to see Lynxo and Bengali. Not sure who the 4th normal sized character could be though?

Maybe Claudus or a villain like one of the rats? I'd like to see another Berbil, maybe Snarfer too.

I would buy an Ash Williams. So there are going to be minimates or is this a "would be awesome if" kind of threads?

That's ok for USers, but shipping to the UK for a single pack of those Minimates is $35 apparently!

Wow.. These things are expensive. No way am I paying $27 a pack for these, and then another $35 for the Jolly Roger. Nearly $100 (including shipping) for 10 mini-figures and a vehicle?

I am an enormous wrestling fan. Give me a Bret Hart and I'll dance for days.

Oh. My. God.

Are these going to be on the UK disneystore?

There are definetely some really nervous people in the world.I was checking out dst's fb page and saw a guy complaining that we won't get any figures from lara croft.I tried to explain to him that minimates are their go to line.Anyway here's his post:

Aaaand only Tomb Raider Minimates. Why get the license if you're not going to make figures. There're a lot of us that actually don't LIKE Minimates, you know....

Me:

Most people who buy dst's products are minimate collectors.It's their main toyline and sells a lot more than figures.If you don't like minimates you can buy square enix's new tomb raider figure based on the new game.And even if they made figures you would probably get only lara and maybe the main antagoinst so it doesn't make much of a difference.And why should they not pick up a licence?Minimates were the number 1 product one speciality stores and are constantly growing.

And that's his answer:

Alright, allow me to make myself clear: I couldn't care less about those of you that enjoy the Minimates, nor the statistics surrounding the line's sales. NOR did I say that if we can't have both, you can't have any at all. You buy the Minimates? Good for you. That's for you. But there are those of us who DON'T appreciate them. That DON'T buy them. Therefore, if you're going to tie down a license, why not cater to the rest of us NON-Minimates collectors as well? Does that make sense? Have you got it now? Or are you going to continue analyzing and trying to interpret what I'm saying to benefit your argument? Oh, and your argument that we'd "only get Lara and the main antagonist so it'd be pointless", then turning around telling me to go buy the SOLE Square Enix one is idiotic.

Best is to not bother with someone that stupid. LOL.

Don't know if you guys have seen these yet?

Iron Man 3 'Mates.

If they announced TMNT Minimates then they'd be the best toymaking company ever.

Hopefully we'll see some more Capcom minimates.

I sincerely hope the series goes past series 4. I desperately want Pumyra, Lynxo and Bengali.

So, I recently discovered that there were some prototypes made of a wave of Kellogg's Minimates. It's a real shame that these didn't see the light of day. Any chance that they could be revived as some kind of exclusives?

They looked so awesome.

I love Onslaught. I'm just surprised that a character like Mockingbird is more popular than Banschee or Gladiator (who is part of one of the most prominent story archs in comic history).

No idea how I missed this for so long.

Any chance any of the characters that didn't get the highest votes will end up in future waves?

Is this seriously right?

People voted for Songbird over Banschee or Gladiator?! .

Kinda disappointing that set 4 is mostly alternate versions of characters we already have.

Still, it's awesome to have Groon.

Have they said what the 4th box set is going to be? We saw Mumm-Ra The Eternal Living but what did the rest of the set have in it?

Have I missed something or have they confirmed that there's going to be a 5th set?

I would imagine that an MvC2 line would sell exceptionally well considering it's overall popularity. It's still more beloved than MvC3 and includes many characters that MvC3 doesn't.

I'd be down for a Resident Evil (or RE6 line), Street Fighter, Megaman, Dead Rising or pretty much any other Capcom line. I just want more Capcom 'Mates.

The biggest disappointments with the SFxT line were that we got Ryu and Chun-Li AGAIN when we could have had a character that hasn't received Minimate treatment like Dhalsim, Vega or Balrog.

The other big disappointment is that we didn't get a Megaman and Pacman set, which would have made for a perfect exclusive at one of the Comic Cons.

I'd personally rather they move on to a new Capcom line instead of a wave 3. It'd be nice to get some more Resident Evil characters, I'm sure they'd be hot sellers.

Just picked up TRU Wave 2, Rolento and Hugo are so awesome, I love that we have three members of the Mad Gear Gang. Now if only Guy and Cody could become Minimates.

They're on the game as DLC, so maybe if they do a wave 3 they could be possible.

Man, this pack is so good, the bulked up Eddie Venom is by far the best minimate I have ever seen. Mine just arrived. There are so many different ways you can display him,

@CableNathan. No I don't like the "best of" Venom prototype so far, it at least doesn't look as good as this one. I was also not much interested in the rest of the set, but I needed a Venom for my Marvel vs Capcom display, and after getting this set, all 4 of them are excellent minimates.

Maybe they can move on to a general Capcom line after this. Then we can get the SF characters we need, but in the comfort of characters that would sell well like Frank West, Megaman and Leon Kennedy.

I was under the impressions that RE6 was kind of a flop in the US, even though Japan sales are strong.

Regardless, a general Resident Evil line would be interesting, lots of new sculpted parts for the creatures.

It's sold 4.5 million copies so assume that's pretty strong sales. I agree that a general RE line would be much better. But I thought that RE 6 had done well and with it's recent release would have probably been a good idea to just call the line RE 6 .

If they did a Steve Burnside Minimate I would.... I don't know but I'd be REALLY excited!

With Resident Evil 6 doing so well financially and DST having made two different series of Capcom minimates, do you guys think that there is a possibility of Resident Evil 6 Minimates? Although a huge Resident Evil fan I have not yet bought or played RE6 as I was not happy with the demo and the direction of the series heading more to a Call of Duty style game. However, that wouldn't stop the Minimates from being absolutely awesome. I am also sure that they would sell incredibly well.

I would love to see them splice some classic Res game characters in the waves too.

For example wave 1 could look like this:

Pack 1: RE 6 - Chris Redfield & Piers

Pack 2: RE 6 - Leon Kennedy & Helena

Pack 3: RE 6 - Jake & Sherry

Pack 4: RE 6 - Ada Wong & Carla

Pack 5: RE 1 - Wesker & Chris Redfield (TRU exclusive (in their S.T.A.R.S uniforms)).

Pack 6: RE 2 - Leon Kennedy & Claire Redfield (TRU exclusive).

I'm not very keen on that Venom, I'll stick with the one that's coming out in the 4 pack. Although that Punisher is certainly going to be mine. I'm now glad I held off on getting the tru Spiderman/Punisher set!

I may have an extra. I'll look over the weekend.

No need, I ordered another pack. I'll give Kyle Reese the extra Shotgun and Wesker the extra Magnum.

Thanks though.
