Got to add Death and Dream to the collection today, thanks to the talents of luke314pi. Thanks again Luke!

To date "Happy" Stay Puft Man is the only mate I have not opened and the longer it goes without another being found, the more likely it is that he will stay that way. Not sure if I'll ever consider getting rid of him, unless of course someone makes me an offer I can't refuse.
Here's a Stay Puft group pic I've been meaning to post.

I would rework the license with Marvel so that 2.5" and above body styles could be used on larger/taller characters.
-
Found a fresh case this morning and all 4 of the Stay Puft's were angry.
-
Looks like there is a packing variation as I found both Happy and Angry Stay-Puft men packaged with Louis today in Joplin, Mo. Can't get the pictures to attach for some reason or I would post pics of them in the package.

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter what we want or don't want. DST will make what they believe will sell, then some of us will gripe about the character selection and some of us will be happy with it. But at the end of the day most of us will buy whatever it is DST puts out. Truthfully we should feel lucky Minimates are still being produced(whether it's a new characters or a redo) not many toy lines last this long, so DST must be doing something right with the line.

I talked to a ToysRus Employee today. She said that Universal Monsters Minimates Series 2 has been released to 3 stores, and the rest of the stock is being shipped to the warehouse next week. After that, it will take 1-2 weeks for them to arrive in most stores. So it looks like it will be about 2-3 more weeks for most people.
I'm not sure how accurate the information is, but I thought I would share.
Well if only 3 stores got them, then the Joplin, MO TRU was one of them becasue I picked these up yesterday. The B&W Dracula and Frankenstein look great along side the B&W Creature and Wolfman, really wish they had done the Bride in B&W though.

When I first saw the pictures yesterday, something seemed off about the Bride of Frankenstein and I just figured out what it is, she’s in color. All this talk about a black and white Bride needing to be released has made me realize, I’ve never seen her depicted in anything other than black and white and it’s weird seeing her colorized.

Some quotes from DST's Facebook page
Diamond Select Toys - "I believe the head in the four-pack has been updated to look like the head in the two-pack."

Eric Dlugokinski - "Thanks DST! These look awesome. As it has been said above, thanks for keeping the angry villager. I seem to remember a prototype shot where the villager had a torch accessory. Please say it will be included."

Here is my collection of promotional blanks. Apparently I need to make a bigger light box if I plan on shooting more large group shots.

Found these in the Joplin, MO Toysrus today.

Found wave 10 and the Captain America movie wave at the TRU in Joplin, MO this morning.
Tad, cesium salami's local TRU is in Faytteville, AR unless he has moved recently.

I don’t understand why a SDCC exclusive set would consist of characters we already have or are scheduled to get. Especially when it is an exclusive to SDCC, where a lot of the attendees actually know about comics and don’t need to have a one of the “Big Four” included to purchase a set. Wouldn’t more obscure characters (or at least characters that haven’t been made) make since for an audience that has comic book knowledge? I understand having the “Big Four” or more familiar characters in box sets at Toysrus and Disney stores since the average consumer has a limited knowledge of comics, but not at a comic book convention.
“Big Four” = Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor
-
Next hint from AFX, looks like another Thor.

Not sure if this problem has been addressed, but when I click on a link it takes the page I'm on to the link and it also opens up a new tab that takes me to the link when I'm using internet explorer. When I use firefox it's fine, I click on a link it opens up a new tab and the page I'm on stays the same.

Orginal Venom w/tongue from the TRU 10-pack

Just got a call from Toysrus.com that they would not be able to fill my order. When I asked why, I was informed that the items were never in stock and of course he couldn't explain to me why they would list an item they never had in stock on the web site to begin with.
-
These are up on TRU's site now...and sold out already. At least you can't add any to your cart.
Man, TRU sucks on so many different levels.
Was able to add them to my cart and order them just now, of course I'll probably get a cancellation email later today telling me they are out of stock and unable to fill my order.
-
Wow, these look great! Really hope they find a retailer and get released. That Alice mate is the first minimate my girlfriend has ever had any interest in.
-
My only fear is that this will be series one:
Spiderman/Ryu
Dr. Doom/Akuma
Strom/Chun-li
Phoenix/Morrigan
Not looking forward to getting more rehashes of Marvel characters and there's only one Capcom character from the list that I'm even somewhat interested in.

DST posted a picture of the Goblin Glider on Facebook

I quite enjoyed the chat last night. There were times it got a little confusing(try going on Yahoo Chat for 3 seconds though and you'll quickly realize last night's chat was very well structured and monitored), but Chuck seemed more than capable of keeping up with the questions.

Yes! I have intentions of having the rest of the endless done by Luke as well, probably after the holidays when funds aren't being spent elsewhere. I would love to have the entire cast from; Cain and Able, Lucien, Merv(actually bought 2 of that RGB mate for that purpose), Lucifer, the Corinthian, Eve, Nuala, etc....Now I just need to find a tiny crow figure, so that Morpheus can have Matthew by his side.
