I bought three. They’re intended for display with my Marvel Legends, but I’m sure I’ll set up some Minimates around them at some point just for giggles. Those things are massive.
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?

This had me thinking what were the last non-marvel minimate releases? See below for a recent history of non-Marvel minimate releases:
KH Light Cycle - Feb. 13, 2019
The Predator Box Set - Nov. 21, 2018
NBX Halloween Town Box Set - Oct. 31, 2018
BB NYCC 2018 Desmodius - Oct. 4, 2018
KH Wave 2 - August 1, 2018
KH Wave 1 - May 30, 2018
Aliens Series 4 - May 16, 2018
NBX TRU Series 5 - Nov. 16, 2017
NBX Series 5 - Nov. 8, 2017
Elf Box Set - Nov. 8, 2017
Beetlejuice TRU Series 1 - Nov. 4, 2017
Predator TRU Series 5 - Nov. 3, 2017
Beetlejuice Box Set 1 - Oct. 18, 2017
2017 was the last year we had a real plethora of non-Marvel minimates with 25 releases (box sets, regular waves, and TRU waves each counted as 1), 2 of which were promotional releases. 2018 brought only 6 releases, 1 of them being promotional and from a line that hadn't had a release since 2013. 2019 brought only 1 release and from a license that didn't have enough interest/sales to achieve a 3rd wave at retail. And as for 2020, it's brought not a single whiff of non-marvel minimates outside of a couple of box sets that also failed to achieve enough interest to be made. It's staggering to see the drop-off in the last 3 years, but at this point it can't drop off anymore. Here's hoping DST can find a profitable license for minimates that can last longer than a single wave or box set, or even just something that gathers enough interest to be released.
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.

i think it'd be a fun one but i think another company is already doing mini figures about the same size as minimates - just not block figures.
i've never played the game but i love some of the designs of the other toys i've seen.

Shameless pimping of mine
NICE!! mine looks completely different. less like the comic version. the only thing yours and mine will have in common is the helmet (i think). Great job!

Not sure what the 82 date will be, or even who's in it. Hopefully 81 soon, I'll let everyone know.

frankie would be fun though

I looked through the database & may have missed it but does anyone know if there a a newsboy cap type piece for any mate?
whatcha making?

@DSTZach this was great! short enough that i could watch at work w/out feeling guilty and yet gets to the point! thanks!

i hadn't gone to a walgreens since this started. i ended up buying all the new figures (latest animated wave/black widow movie mates) off ebay for decent prices.
went yesterday and went ahead and picked up another black widow set but nothing newer than that. i'm not sure we had a date on the iron man/ghost/spidey/prowler set but they sure look nice!

Hit every Walgreens in town today trying to find Wave 10 Ghost Rider set, but to no avail. The new Black Widow movie mates are everywhere and a hodgepodge of other stuff, but I've never found the Spot wave or much of 6, 7 and 8. It's frustrating.
i'm old and forgetful, but i think the spot wave was only online. as for the later animated waves, yeah, Houston seems to get them last but i have seen the ghost rider wave probably more than previous waves. last time i saw it though someone had stolen the ghost rider. made me wonder if that was a good thing or a bad thing that someone wants a minimate enough to steal it. i went with ultimately wrong b/c they're denying the chance for someone who would pay for it to get it.

that crossbow looks like one of those knock off joes. the corps?

again, this is awesome of you, zach! thanks for doing this!

i think there's a psychological aspect to kickstarter that is unique though. at least i feel like i'm supporting it more directly and that my purchase is making a difference. even projects that i know will happen w/out me i feel like this is the chance to put my money where my mouth is and support it. if a property i didn't feel that strongly about went to retail first, lets say like the pathfinder minimates, i ignored. but had they gone to kickstarter i probably would have supported.
and i actually just got the idea, has anyone ever floated any mystery science theater minimates? that would probably work better on kickstarter than in retail. they did the comeback shows on kickstarter (or some crowdfunding site) to put it on netflix i believe. kickstarter does have a different market than retail (and i'd love a patton oswalt minimate).

Thanks for doing that for me. I've been suffering from a bit of Minimates withdrawal since my son and daughter-in-law moved in two years ago. They've finally found an apartment and will be out of my collection room by the weekend! Checklists are my thing so I might just check your math if you don't mind. (You know, while I'm huffing my plastic crack that's been sequestered all this time!)
hahaha!
please. and i'll be happy to share my excel with you (i have it pivoted by Phase, movie, character name, and figure name so you can quickly see how many war machine's have been made and from which phase/movies)

so i finally updated my checklist of Marvel Movie Minimates and i see that Black Widow has put us over 300!
the final tally is 303 from my count.
this is including all of the variants and exclusives and yeah, i'm that nerdy (also counts the avengers endgame QRS as two -- for example Captain America and Thor =2).
i thought that was kinda cool.
-
awesome! thanks! when you said spider-verse though i was thinking hoodie and chucks. probably can whip up a custom.......
i know nothing about ghost outside of the ant-man movie but the two non-movie figures both look awesome!

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!
