I've had similar dreams, but with Indiana Jones

I was born in 1955 , my first US marvel was Avengers issue 19 ,June 1965 ,fresh off the newstands . I was 10.  

I'm curious, was it something about Swordsman that captivated you? Because that's a very Swordsman-heavy cover.

Smarmy Gilder?

I'm definitely going to make a point of adding Crystar to my ML display. Even if there won't really be a conceivable place to put him...

Get's me thinking about a potential "Guardians of the Galaxy" style team comic about a bunch of D-List licensed Marvel characters from the 70s and 80s. Crystar, ROM, Micronauts, etc.

Daredevil did not get one, but I don't know what we would have included. 

Well, If we're going all in on the "Larval" universe...

I never should have quit Youtube, I got too many opinions and too little a void to scream into

What's keeping you from it? I remember appreciating your videos and I would happily tune in again.

Sometimes it felt that the only person that seemed interested in Walgreens Marvel Minimates was me .  

Personally, I was a big big fan of Walgreens Marvel Minimates. The animated waves, that is; not necessarily the MCU assortments. 

I felt as if it were the same effect as 'Ultimate Marvel Comics' in the early noughties. Giving fans an opportunity to start a new collection of Marvel Minimates from the beginning in a way which emphasized significant players in the history of Marvel Comics. 

I can see the significant lack of X-characters detracting from that point, but hey, if sacrificing another couple of Wolverines for the sake of Squadron Supreme I'm alright with that.

Yeah, that Spider-Man proper looks tops. I'm all in on that, 2099, and Spider-Ham.

I wish it had been more of a literal "Spider-Verse" assortment rather than just a vague grouping of Spider-Mans's.

Morlun and an updated Silk would've been nice...

And I'm pretty sure we CAN'T sell Marvel there

Why not?

I wouldn't mind another shot at Warduke either - he's definitely my favorite across both sets. 

I'm also a big fan of the Wizard guy and the little troll man would make a great pack-in!

I know we're all mucking around but I feel like that has some serious legs, and would harken back to the days of the Ozzy/Alice/Eddie/Zombie rock mates

could have superstar era sets for many: a Bowie set, an Elvis set, Prince, Madonna, hell Alice Cooper could return in 2" with an additional 3 looks, not even to contemplate swappable parts and their possibilites

I absolutely want Rock Minimates to return. I want a Talking Heads box set very badly.

Bowie would bring me in as well. Like hardcore.

And I would buy a Taylor Swift MM in a heartbeat. Tell her to call me!

Eras Tour box set

Thanks for reminding me how gorgeous those look.

This might be another Dark Tower.

It's an existing license we have, but we have not announced MInimates for it yet. 

Avatar: The Last Airbender and Indiana Jones are my dream guesses, based on that hint.

I was gonna say #8

I dig the stoic look. 

I'd definitely be down for more Invincible minimates. Tie it in with the Amazon show. It would be great since, other than the DST Figures, there's no toy merchandise for the brand and people are really starting to connect with it.

Again, a 50-50 situation might be a good idea, half blistered, half bagged, if such a thing were possible.

It could be a limited run of figures on vintage cardbacks to incentivize collectors. Make it clear that they're RARE and of LIMITED QUANTITY and they'll come running.

Second run being mass produced, clear polybags.

Bags would be good.

In an "army dump" counter display.

I'm not a big G.I. Joe fan. I got the FCBD set mostly for Snake Eyes, because you obviously want to have the most iconic part of the franchise represented. 

That said, the series 2 Cobra release is a top tier assortment of minimates. I didn't get series 1. Two figures I already had and two others that didn't excite me. Series 2 is different. The Cobra designs are striking and dynamic, more than the look of the Joes. I felt better getting two figured I already had in this instance because a.) Destro & Baroness were that impressive and b.) the subtle variation of Cobra Commander was interesting - I think I prefer the second version.

I would like to see and hope to see more ARAH minimates. Both to make everyone happy and to hopefully get more fascinating Cobra designs. Hopefully going forward DST will shelve the "retro" packaging gimmick and just give us the minimates. The extra cost is not worth the novelty, in my opinion.

TL;DR ~ I want more international terrorists and less military stooges.

I had never seen Ultraman mini figures before and the Kubrick line delved deep.

Thank you for awakening within me a desire for an Ultraman / Red King minimate 2-pack.

The Excalibur Nightcrawler is also the best version we have had. 

I'm partial to the Dave Cockrum version we got in Giant Size Wave 68. He has a cutlass!

I'm never going to get Boomerang and Beetle, am I?

You got *a* Beetle!

Yeah... there are certifiably gorgeous.

I thought there was a checklist-style database somewhere around here, though I might be mis-remembering a lot of it. It’s been quite a few years. Gotta admit…sometimes I wish I hadn’t stopped on Minimates. Now I realize how there’s just no way I could ever jump back in. There’s so many. That’s a good thing for them though.

Hail Ivan!
