i doubt its a new license (but what do i know) so i'm hoping for more infinity war. Rescue needs a mate for certain. i couldn't think of any other character that got left out though. i'd love a final battle thor

you need series 11?

HA! guess i'm sneaking out to hit some walgreens

man, now you've got me wondering what you've looked into!!!! as someone who is not a lawyer, nor a retailer, distributor, etc (but used to work as a retailer and still talks shop w/ old pals) i know a lot of them are annoyed at hasbro b/c they don't/can't get a discount from haslabs. so to them, they have to pay up front, then wait, then mark it up and have everyone know their margin. a reasonable person would understand and accept it but that's not always the case. some grown folks tend to act like kids when it comes to buying toys. so, i would say spin off a new related party company and sub license the risky product to them somehow (like the DC minimates). i like Mantic Games' approach where people who support the fundraiser get perks and exclusives but then the main product is still offered as a regular release, just minus some goodies. it adds some collectibility/incentive to fund it early. raises awareness and that "gotta have it" mentaility that plagues us all (or most of us).

here are some great pictures i hadn't seen yet: https://marvelousnews.com/252-27453

i personally appreciate that we don't know about them in advance. that said.....i would love to see those animated x-men!!!! but yeah, i find it nerve wracking thinking something is out. if covid has taught me anything, its not to go to 20 walgreens a week.

got mine a few days ago but still haven't opened. looks good!! i went ahead and got the pennywise too. that one looks freaky!

i hit the one in houston and honestly, i forgot all about it until you asked this. its bad. very limited selection and just not at all like what we had growing up. i don't think i saw any marvel legends or starwars (i could be wrong, its been a while). i remember legos and nerf guns and a lot of board games which surprised me but the action figures were not well represented. i don't recall if they had video games.

there was a TRU walking distance from my house. i could sneak over whenever i wanted to look for new minimates. even though its been a while, i remembered it recently and missed it. probably b/c it just now has been converted to a different store. the space had been vacant since TRU went out of business.

whoa! i remember when the Superman Red Son Vinimate went up for order i ended up not buying one b/c of the shipping fees. looks like BBTS has them in stock! https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/131782

yeah, the other factor to consider is that con exclusives typically get jacked up on any resale. i bought both and paid about $15 shipping. seems fair -- would rather not pay that shipping but it is a necessary evil. i probably would have paid $20 for that GL anyways so i see it as paying $5 shipping for the IT.

man, i check a lot of minimate sites daily and i've never seen the x-men animated anywhere. color me curious as well! as for the distribution.....i live in one of the biggest cities in the US. the movie waves i seem to find no problem but the animated ones i've been using either ebay or the goodness of fellow collectors to help me out. the wave that had kraven seems to have been skipped completely here but i was able to find the ghost rider/dr strange wave. but the venomized i found no issue. not sure how this works. i consider us lucky to have minimates to hunt so i'm not complaining but i will agree the distribution on these is weird. hope you and your family are all well. can't believe its been almost five months since the black widow mates popped up. i think those were the last walgreens ones, right?

oh shit!!!! that new iron giant is awesome!!!!! https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/133625 (but buy from luke)

word. DST's Jean Grey animated statue ships this week (i believe) so the products will start coming. question is when and if i'll find them. i seem to have no problem with the movie walgreens lines but the animated ones are spotty.

i'm probably the most inept person when it comes to uploadign pictures on message boards but the figure is about 2x in all directions. so way too big to have him fighting superman but if you spray paint him grey he'd make an awesome dictatoresque statue to loom over your other minimates.

heck yeah!!! that is a fantastic custom that is maybe only missing the cool knives the toybiz one came with. i'd love a set with him, maverick, sabretooth wore a similar one if i remember correctly (and if i don't i won't be offended, its been what, 25+ years?) and maybe an updated omega red. maybe as part of the cartoon line but if they're only doing two sets per wave then it may be a while before they get to these versions

between Deathlok and Invincible Doom that's two of my most requested figures of the moment. Now we just need Maverick and Dept H Logan/Wolverine and i'll stop whining for a while (or whatever you call that wolverine when he's in tactical gear).

HA! only product i bought from this series was the captain america statue! it came out at a time i didn't really watch much tv so that's why i have no attachment to it.

man, i was thinking, was ROBOCOP ever considered? i saw the mez-its the other day and thought, man, those would make killer minimates

i'll be honest and say as a person who has maybe 20 vinimates.....the mecha godzilla, cthulu, and flash (comic) were my favorites until i bought the rocketeer one. man, that is a perfect figure!!!! really makes me want minimates but i'll take this over nothing!

you actually helped a lot! i found a file online that i had a friend print out and he already dropped it off. Looks good too! i have to sand and paint it but that can be fun. https://steemit.com/comics/@saywha/3d-printed-sentinel-head-prop-2018-07-24-00-25-44 thanks!

damn. i did google it and found some 3d files of some people have made. plus, i think its going to be a long neck that goes into the head and the lights will most likely be part of the neck. we'll see. probably best if i just try to find a 3d file i like. way cheaper than $350 i guess. but it is a damn cool toy. i bought a huge ashley wood 3a robot years ago but its so big i can't really display it anywhere. this is probably about the same size if not bigger. but thanks for the alternative suggestion!

honestly, i'm more interested in just a battle damaged head. i'd buy one for the head alone and then try to sell the rest. if you're interested in selling a head let me know. hopefully each head has its own batteries so i can still light it up. i may just buy one and then sell it minus a head. figure looks incredible!

well, Haslab announced a 2' tall Sentinel -- anyone else tempted to get one and cover it in minimates? https://hasbropulse.com/products/x-men-legends-marvel-s-sentinel

i bought ALL OF THESE. only reason i bought the KH was for series 3.....which was then cancelled. ugh. i even bought the bike.
