A 10-pack of those cancelled 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be nice.

 

YES!!!!!  except i think it was more than 10, no?  so 2 10-packs!!  extra foot soldiers to fill it up

i second another iron man one that includes the final battle whiplash!!!

Zach any word on a street date for the 4-pack?  Need my Skrulls.

may.

i had an idea...what if the box set came with more than just 2 heads per body?  and what if there were only 3 of the white suits and the fourth character was a villain army builder we maybe missed out on the first go round?

i'd buy 3 or 4 instead of just 2 for sure.

Another epic burn! 

But seriously, anniversaries rarely lead to more purchases, so it's rare that we pursue any product specifically for an anniversary. Usually, it is coincidental, as any license that goes for five years has at least one anniversary year in it. 

The Resurrection/A3/Isolation wave was offered exclusively to comic shops. I don't know how well it did, but it must not have been well enough to warrant another assortment.

And while I know everyone wants to complete the team, I think people need to remember that it's one very minor character (Ferro; we made a Bishop even if people don't like it) and that the line got a vehicle, something most lines do NOT get. Obviously, people feel the way they feel, but I think Aliens is one of our greatest successes. And we still have the license, so who knows. 

i consider this the best line outside of MARVEL related ones.  if more was made i'd buy it, but i'm also happy with what we got.

A coat version of CM was not planned at first, it was subbed in later. So the hair was not sculpted to accommodate a coat; it would not have fit. And no new hairpiece was possible at that time. 

ah ok.  well, i'm happy to get a coat version since she seems to wear it a lot in the film.  and yeah, the hair i figured was another reason to do the coat as a painted on one.  thanks for clarifying!

i have bought a lot of the dc vinimates but never opened any.  i got the comic book flash yesterday and opened it right away!  that thing is beautiful!!!!

I just use the Secret War Cap as that one... more useful as that, why would anyone want a Secret War Cap costume he never actually wore.

i think i got rid of my issues but i found this:

I’m surprised they didn’t reuse the jackets they’ve used in the past and that it’s just part of the mate itself for Carol.

i'd assume its b/c the hair piece then sticks out like Batwoman's and then its just kinda ugly w/out the jacket:

but i think Zach said it was a late design change......no idea what that means.

maybe it means they were planning on it but then decided for some reason they couldn't do it or it wouldn't work.

It’s disappointing that we aren’t getting Goose or a gun with the Skrull. Otherwise I love the look of the box set. Carol looks better than I thought.

i am using the cat from alien.  the color is a tad off but close enough.  

is it too late to convince DST to do an army builder 4 pack of the maddrox?  make it a con exclusive or something.  i'd buy 1 

I thought it was a rehash of the x-factor box set that came out a few years ago but each character is a different take.   Nice!!!

Was really hoping Random would be in there but oh well, i can’t think of who i’d remove from here.   Looks awesome!!

i think the only thing that would catch my interest would be if they did something like what neca is doing -- re-using the hasbro toy concepts.

i'm guessing too many new molds would make this cost prohibitive.  what neca did w/ terminator, alien(s), predator,  & avp is freaking right up minimate dreams!

Batman Who Laughs, Batman White Knight and Batman: Damned. 

https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/02/12/exclusive-first-look-batman-who-laughs-vinimates/

nice!  no bat-penis on the damned figure though, huh?  oh well

Sean Gordon Murphy posted his White Knight Batman vinimate on his instagram and twitter.  he called it a minimate though.  looks cool!

Do we know who wears the tech suits? I'm not sure what's public knowledge.

if anyone responds to this please hide the comments from general view (spoilers).   but yeah......there're some toy images that have leaked from asia for action figures using some kind of tech suit.  i tried to avoid it but i saw some.

Does the boxset really come out in August? Was browsing Amazon and that's the release they got.

Big Bad Toystore says May which makes more sense.  I'm sure Luke can provide a better confirmation though

You may need to buy multiple box sets. Will need. 

I do love giving you guys my money for minimates.  I think i bought 8 crazy 88 packs.  Army building is my thang

hopefully its more like a full walgreens set and a full comic shop set plus a sdcc release.

i think zach said somewhere that just about anyone who didn't get a figure the first go round will get one now (i'd imagine plus new costumes and characters)

And with some relatively fresh blood, perhaps someone like Executive Creative Director Jim Fletcher will champion DC Minimates. What's his email?

dammit.  every year the booth i work is right next to DC.  this is the first year DC is going to be somewhere else.  if i'd have known fletch had any influence in DC mates i'd have bugged him all sdcc all five days years ago!!!!!!!

i'm no licensing expert but what i understood from what he said its that they buy a license for a movie to make products and it includes the characters in that movie. the problem is they don't see themselves making enough products out of spider-man.  infinity war 2 (or endgame i guess) will allow them to make products from all of those characters (including spider-man).  therefore endgame is just better value.  Endgame isn't out yet but we can assume everyone who didn't get a minimate in infinity war will get one now plus any new character costumes (thanos in armor), new characters in general and and surprises -- and not just minimates, but action figures and cookie jars and piggy banks and all the other cool stuff dst makes (no sarcasm intended, i love their stuff).  sucks for us OCD minimate collectors............i think its time for luke to step up and figure out a custom sticker to make mysterio seem more movie-like.

that said i do plan on flooding their inbox with whiny complaints.  i buy all the marvel comic stuff but i LOVE all the marvel movie stuff.  it has become my favorite collection to collect (and i collect a lot of stuff).

Far From Home will be a boxset and Walgreens wave, if precedence holds.

I just hope we can get Ned, MJ, and Flash out of this wave since they all got skipped last time.

and hopefully some SDCC sets.  i'm thinking avengers will need one more than Spider-man but as long as we get something i'm happy.
