I still don’t understand DST’s hesitancy to do army builder packs but was glad to get Foot in each pack at least.
Usagi either as part of TMNT or on its own would be rad.
More TMNT too please.
At this point, I think the evidence is that the Licenser isn’t approving more so than DST not wanting to. It’s frustrating AF. I have bought several loose Foot Soldiers and even a few CoCos to make soldiers.

Would have liked an all Foot pack. Granted I usually buy 2-3 sets but that is for the 1 to open, 1 to keep packaged (or signed at cons), if 3 then 1 for if something happens to the open set/parts. Really don't want to have to open a bunch of sets just to have the army builders. Don't really need a bunch of extra open named characters
Are we twins? That’s exactly what I do too.

I wanted the bunny.

Some amazing shots this year! Wanted to give it a shout out here and to this year’s host: https://www.instagram.com/minimaester89?igsh=Mmlnc2k5dmVjZDJo

Thankyou for sharing the video , many of the questions discussed in the early pages of this thread are answered .
My initial personal feelings on this wave were sceptical but I love the look of it .
The part of the video about "popping on shelves" unsettled me . 99% of my collection is composed of Minimates that have been bought online so I have absolutely no conception of whether Minimates (specifically packaged Minimates) pop ? I actually love the current packaging but I'm wondering whether it pops , especially with the current strategy of not showing the actual Minimates until you open a flap cover ? For example , from what I've seen of the latest TMNT Party Wagon packaging , it would appear that any potential buyer would assume (looking at the front of the slip-covered package ) that it contained a Party Wagon (which it doesn't) & perhaps not even realise that there are Minifigures within ! I ,again, love the packaging but I am already aware of what lies within . Check out online minimate selling sites & you'll notice that you rarely see Minimates in their packaging , 'package shots' are the exceptions .
Not to get into another conflict, I think the packaging is absolutely gorgeous and works because the Minimates market is more diehard and the aren’t sold in a mass retailer. It feels lux. The box’s look great on the shelves as they look like bound comics. I don’t know though if it is enough to stop people though that aren’t looking for them. I typically buy a set from Luke and one from a LCS. In both LCS it’s always a hunt to find them. This time though the LCS reported I bought the last one they had of these.
If Minimates went back into mass, the packaging has to change if the media investment doesn’t. I didn’t mind the old two-pack and four-pack format that went in Walgreens stores but I get why that may not work in LCS. The original boxes from the Target waves worked from a Space perspective but didn’t really pop.

One of my fave people Scott just did a great video that explains how/why sometimes things like Marvel Legends Kaine looking… off can happen.

Windswept effects aside, these are awesome. I’m surprised we didn’t get a non pumpkin hand for Goblin.

X-MEN 97
This all day every day. As for the Office, it did well for Pops, pulls huge numbers on Peacock, and many of us did buy the playsets. Same with Seinfeld. Friends is in a whole other league. As for modern teams/looks, the FF set was perfection for me but it didn’t sell as well. The YA set was an interesting choice that also didn’t sell well. I think it’s fair to say modern comics themselves are more IP factory than actual sales. Given headwinds, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see more leaning into 80/90s IP to try to make sales. Spector Creative had a great video last week talking about the challenge of female led properties that had some good nuance to it. I would love to see more modern properties but the ones that really pop have a hefty price tag. Aside from Buffy, charmed, Hunger Games, Blood and Magic, and Witcher I don’t really see/know of anything that would make a great toy. Would love to know more if there is stuff out there.

In the good news front, every time I passed DST at toyfair it was full of buyers and people seemed excited.

I can’t even remember watching this movie once in my life. Smasher, I hear you I think part of the issue is minimates just aren’t sold at mass retailers so it’s more aligned with the tastes of those audiences. I have longed for a Buffy line for over 20 years at this point. Charmed, Archie, Hunger Games, Jem are all properties I think have potential with the Minimates functionality and form but I bet the licensing fees would be intense. What would you want to see?

Thanks for the birthday wishes ! Enough now
Initially ' Sean Song ' threw me . I'm guessing that a Korean composer 4 pack was a spellcheck moment ? Swan-song 4 pack
The title of the thread is precise , my budget allows for a 2-pack only.
Lol very fair and if it’s your money your choice. Either way I would happily buy.
-
Happy belated BHM! If we are doing a Sean song 4 pack, for Marvel I need the Greg C X-Force completed. It drives me nuts it’s not been done. Feral, Warpath, Stryfe and Sunspot (with and without Powered heads).

Did we ever get to see these design sheets? Or the X-Factor wave?

Or a second set.
It would be a great line if it took off. A new array of colourful superheroes.
I've watched the first three of the new season and it seems to be maintaining quality. Fun show.
It’s a great show and series

Has anyone designed civilian clothes for the power rangers kids?

Good line up. Solo is an inspired choice. Suited Doc Ock looks terrific, especially his maniacal, toothy grin. Deathlok will fit right in with this group. Could have taken another pass at Cyborg Spider-Man, even if that meant just including the massive arm and eye piece. Vulture really sticks out like a sore thumb. Both him and Mysterio received superlative representations recently enough that they are still accessible. Should have been a monstrous, Larsen-style Hobgoblin or a (very tiny) Gog.
Also, let's make sure we know the difference between "Return of the Sinister Six" (ran through Amazing Spider-Man #334-339 and does not feature Solo) and "Revenge of the Sinister Six" (ran through adjectiveless Spider-Man #18-23 and does feature Solo).
I can’t wait to turn a second Solo into Redstar from the Teen TiTANS.

Got a recipe?
I use a green suit from Puppet Master and then a Tony from Chew head.

Nailed it! I miscounted the issues - I thought it was 12 for some reason. Maybe I was including the DD epilogue, but then I should have said 6 titles.
This set of Marauders customs will include Riptide, Harpoon, and Scalphunter. And you will have the option to preorder any of them individually if you don't want the full set. Riptide has a cool 3D printed base that turned out really well. I expect them to go up for preorder in about a week.
I hope you eventually get the rest made too :)! Archlight, Malice, and Vertigo would be awesome as Scrambler is an easy kit bash.

Actually, it should be “like Ednaswap, am torn” since they’re the original artist of the song. 😊
Well played.

I vote in the US. Canada supplies lots of stuff, including comics AND electricity. I live in NY and I am waiting for them to plunge the norther half of our country into darkness when they turn off our electricity supply in retaliation for tariffs.
Potential solution, make glow-in-the-dark minimates. Two birds, one stone.
As a fellow Nyer.. amen.

The lightning accessories look amazing!
I love that he can hold them and I love that it’s a new mold that could be used for Storm. I just am greedy AF and want a reason to buy two sets of the figures.

Usually solicitation images and prototype images do not include all accessories.
I really hope we get the parts for younger Vulture and female Electro. Either way this is ordered.
TMNT Minimates - it's official!

This would be what I am referencing. Granted this board is not the epicenter of the Minimates community, it has been a constant bask for army builders that have been ignored. After 5 years of multiple posts on here and other social sites it seemed there was a specific reason as to why being more the Licensor than DST because after hearing the outpour of asks it seems off not to make one.
I have no idea what Mutant Mayhem is.
