Same. I will always compare hasbro and dst. In addition to the common sense 4 pack of an AIM solider, a Hand ninja, a Hydra Solider and a Reaver similar to the crazy 88 packs, making a “piggy bank” in minimate style of larger figures and vehicles and that they don’t do crowd funding are three things that annoy me to no end.

I used to live in the Walgreens promised land with a hunting ground of almost 30 different stores without too much of an inconvenience. Hell I use to pass three on my way to the subway from my apartment. Now there are only 3 in my area that carry figures at all. Granted I haven't been out to the full hunting grounds because of Covid but still it is disappointing. Walgreens use to be reasonable when they had a base of operations in NYC but now that they moved all of ops to the Midwest it's tough to even email them to ask for them to carry online. It is brutal. I really hope that this gets solved because I would hate after years of begging and that we FINALLY get the Animated X-Men as mates for them to die on the vine.

If you aren't seeing David Penika's Amazing larger scale custom Minimates, you are missing out. All three of them are on my wishlist!

Buying that Green Lantern was the biggest test of my love for this brand. That website is GARBAGE and needs to be redone and mobile optimized. It is horrific to navigate on mobile or tablet. It’s 2020 ffs a functional website is table stakes.

This. And yet the Rocketter, Buffy, and more. So many options. I think we are down to three LCS waves and then whatever Walgreens will buy from the MCU and animated.

Are they sold out? Or did they just not order at all?

If you don’t mind the animated look, Walgreens White Tiger May work as well.

If you can find her Rosita from Walking Dead resembles the actor playing Dani in the movie. I was thinking of trying her for Talisman. Otherwise if you can get the weird lines off of the face the X-Factor Wolfsbane that may work.

Well, I guess the Iron Giant will permanently sit with the JSA.

The statue looked a little different in real life and was actually a good looking piece.

I didn’t dig it but I’m always here for DC minimates.

I just hope they easily slot in with the comic line in terms of looks. Especially in the face.

Been meaning to post this but I never got the other photo share things to work. Anyway if you can't get the Marvel Legends Mastermold this is my substitution.

It will probably be cancelled and virtual only.

As far as I know she’s never been made before in movable plastic so who knows. Minimates have been the first to make characters before.

That Phoenix hair piece is so great. Can’t wait to get it. https://marvelousnews.com/252-27261

I like the cosmic universe as well there is just a rhythm to Cates’ writing that I don’t like which stinks because I like him as a person. I read his GOTG and wasn’t completely annoyed and will try his Thor but the Venom and Dr Strange runs were just there.

Great recap. I’m looking forward to ignoring the story though. Cates is apparently the new “it” boy.

It’s a good wish and a great idea.

Not that it’s apples to apples but if you paint a Dazzler head pierce white and then use a silver sharpie paired with a blue eyed female you can update Silver so she Looks like the cover of her first series. It’s not that hard of a paint job and if I can do it I know you can as well and probably a thousand times better.

Well... not exactly what I wanted but very very close. Love the new attachments for Reed and excited for a HERBIE (RIP 3.75” HERBIE). My heart will always want a Franklin and of course the Frightful Four but that Doom is a beaut. Wonder if my luck will hold out for wave 83 and 84.?‍♂️

Man I wish these mates existed.

It’s only the 30th year anniversary why would they get any attention? Don’t worry though I’m sure that Marvel Legends will give them attention. We already have gotten a huge section of the team and the add ons. But yes a 4 pack of Thrasher, Vance, Speedball and Firestar would be Amazing. I would be into that. Having only 6 minimates a wave is just so bloody depressing so at this point I’d rather them fill out what’s missing like a Greg C Warpath, Sunspot et al.

No. So waves with high numbers are typically for local comic stores or your preferred online retailer. I personally love Luke’s Toy Store. Anything that is a movie ir cartoon typically is what you will find at Walgreens (if you are lucky). Walgreens has had two comic lines but for the most part these are the rules of the game.

You can always try an instagram link as well.
