MLP was not one of the announced Hasbro licenses, although that would be cool. 

What’s MLP?

Same for me... Warduke! But I'd be also just as happy if it was the old cartoon. I've been wanting to make those for quite some time, I'd gladly let DST do the work for me!

I was obsessed with the show as a kid and my head nearly exploded when Strongheart made an appearance. I had that figure when I was younger and carried it with me everywhere! But I am more than happy with figures from either line!

I’m hoping for a d&d set myself but we’ll see  

If anything just to get a minimate version of warduke

If this set is based on the old D&D toys, I would buy a TON of these!

Sorry for the delay, but ultimately, depending on how you feel about the license you may not care about the delay. 

The license will have a lot of fans, so while Vinimates are not popular here, they have traditionally done well at shows with the right license and the right price. John Wick, Iron Giant, Lost in Space, Forbidden Planet... all have done well for us. 

In fact, the delay has been so long that we may actually reveal and solicit TWO new Minimates lines at SDCC. We've announced the second license, but not revealed the Minimates. They are 180 degrees from the mystery license. PLUS Marvel 83.

In the meantime, we've been offering other licenses like GI Joe and Transformers. GI Joe Series 2 will go up for pre-order on Friday. 

Oh, and I would not look for DST products at Walgreens anymore.  We do not sell them there. 

And I have tried many facial treatments, but the dandruff persists.

Wait, all this will be revealed on 7/1? That’s amazing! This is really the only line of any toy that I collect anymore. I’m glad there are still going strong (even if we never got Binary or Clea *hint hint*)

this would be amazing!

will we be hearing about the Power Rangers Exclusive 6-pack in Deluxe window box set or does Hasbro have this license as well?

Some Lego chima bird slip over mask 

thanks! I was thinking of that but did not think I would be able to make it work. Great job!

With another six pack made entirely of the Big Cameos. 

I was thinking 2 rehashes of cameos, 2 alternate character cameos, one Strange, and one America Chavez

(I forgot how to post spoiler tags or I'd list names)

So is the MCU license done, done? Or on definite hiatus? If we get no releases next year I'll start getting worried.

I was gonna ask this but I am not sure I wanted to hear a definitive answer.

That Binary is excellent! Great job!

Thanks!

Since we are likely never going to get a real one. Here is my take on the new Binary

Some more customs

Witch Queen from the MCU witches- I vote for Johnny Storm's Flaming 4 Logo as a base for a Sling Ring portal

Modern Binary- (since we will likely never see a real one at this point)

this is amazing! thank you!

I don't pay for 3d models. I download free ones and make my own in some cases. I have not seen a SHARC paid or free. Quite a lot of work goes into creating these models and if one is selling printed copies it makes business sense to keep the model to themselves. If anyone knows a free one please share.

There are models of many many vehicles but they are solid miniatures. (There is a mini sharc) If you have 3d modelling skills, you could hollow out the cockpit and make a canopy and seat, and upscale. I think that's how a lot of the 3.75 scale models that are out there now were created. I'm pretty sure the stinger above was created this way.

As far as recommending a printer, it really depends on you. I tend to buy really cheap ones. It can be a hobby in itself to tune an upgrade a cheap machine to get quality prints and I enjoy it. Others might prefer to spend more and get a better out of box experience with less fiddling. Having said that, the industry has matured and even low end machines print pretty well compared to my first printer. I suggest getting one that has a large community around it. Even better if you have an experienced friend who has the same one. Not a recommendation, but the Ender 3 is very very popular and much copied. This means that there are ready made mods to solve many problems and lots of places to get advice on the net. Definitely a lower end machine though.

Please also note there is a pinned thread in the Custom Creations and Artwork section where I've started to add links to models that work well with minimates. I'll add the Stinger and Vamp at some point.

 

Thanks! I am aware of how hard 3D modeling can be and its a bit much for my old brain to learn right now. I appreciate those who with the technical and artistic finesse to turn these out. Especially when they are MM sized!

I got burned (metaphorically) by some bad 3d printers when they were in their early stages and stayed away since the. I will definitely look into the Ender 3. I appreciate people with personal experience given the expense of some of these machines. 

This is awesome! Is there a SHARC model? Also, any rec’s for a good 3D printer?

Here's Elektra in her Daredevil outfit 

Mask is Netflix DD with hair from X23 Wolverine Mask. The belt is a random belt with random scraps of cape glued to it. The rest is pretty straight forward. 

This is fantastic! Well done!

A photographer and a painter, I ain’t. But, I’m a dreamer. If this link works, it should be: 

The Headsman

War Thor, who seems to need some touching up on his loincloth

Wendigo

The Owl, the headpiece for The Rose, and Grizzly. 

These are awesome!

They cancelled Toy Fair, so our huge poster went unused. We would have had control art on display, even if it wasn't for public consumption. I believe the first Gallery Diorama will be revealed in May, with the Minimates in June, and the Vinimates 2-pack for SDCC possibly sooner. 

On a side note, any chance of releasing more control art, even for the figures that have already been released? I always liked the design process and I thought alot of those pictures were fun. 

Some of the characters like Marrow and Maggot I could take or leave. I stopped collecting during that time.

Rachel Phoenix made out of translucent material would be awesome! So would Legion with the tallest hairpiece ever made! I would buy multiples of the rest.

Gargoyles would be amazing. Built in variants too as each could be done again in stone grey.

I was actually thinking the delay in announcement might mean baseball Minimates. With the lockout in progress it wouldn't have made sense to announce mates not knowing when the games would be back.

gargoyles would be amazing!

baseball, not so much…
