Anyone in a blue uniform and anyone in a yellow.

I'm hoping the Hasbro license will usher in the new golden age of minimates. Next year will be the 50th annversary of Godfather, the 40th anniversary of Rocky III and the 15th anniversary of the Ghost Rider wave. Since minimates will be so popular, they can release these as con exclusives! Add clean Bishop, Ferro and a dropship and we're set! Also I want to win the lottery and have flight powers.

Nice army.

Somehow in my head, I saw this a posted by DSTZach. I thought to myself, how uncharacteristically candid of him. Had to do a double take. LOL

You bastard!

Any version of Dinobot and Dragon Megatron! Also, we're going to need Omega Supreme and Devastator Vinimates.

Those look great! Where are the heads from?

These giveaways are great for generating goodwill in the community. Well done Zach!

Is that the Chef Duff pile or the Desparately Seeking Susan pile?

What you wrote: What DST hears: Sadly, I'd probably buy it.

I'd watch another JJ Trek movie. They fell down hard with Into Darkness but I enjoyed 1 and 3. Wonder if they'll go all new cast? I think the only Trek mates that would interest me at this point would be Next Gen, DS9, and Voyager crews and aliens (maybe Enterprise too). The new shows have not been to my liking and the new movies are basically the classic crew. Maybe if they really popped or if they had a bridge playset or something.

Transformers and GI Joe are going to save minimates. We can close this topic now.

I'm telling you guys these two licenses are going to unleash the second golden age of minimates. We'll get some kind of translucent "Matrix of Power Optimus" that will trigger the return of Geohound and TTFC. Mini-myte will return for some Transformers GI Joe crossover Tales from the Mini-Bar. More will follow.

They look great! Really like CC.

It's Monday. Where's my Hossenfeffer?!

Cool project. I'd love to see the finished version. A heavy chain of procrastination hangs around my neck as well.

My point was just that if it was going to be crowdfunded anyway (post I was replying to), might as well find out if there's enough interest to justify the dropship too. I think my Luke idea was our best bet at this point. I wonder if he's got parts that would work to make a pile of these?

I think you mean Bishop and Ferro and dropship! If we're going to have to advance fund them to get them made, might as well include the ship. I would love it if Luke took these on as a one-off project aside from his Marvel and WWE customs. I bet a custom Bishop and Ferro 2 pack would be a huge seller.

I wonder if this news will bring TM2 Dinobot back to the forum?

If Transformers and GI Joe go the way of Rocky III and John Wyck, I'd say the line is done. I don't think that's going to happen personally, and hope these licenses will help minimates regain some market share. But it also concerns me that they don't seem concerned with maintaining a web presence for product lines other than what's for sale right now. We'll see how things shake out. Fingers crossed.

I'm not into the property but they seem like a great fit for minimates.

Me too.

Happy Birthday Luke!

I know it's a bit more integral to the line in the case of Transformers. But how many Spiderman minimates do we have and how many can transform into Peter Parker? Optimus Prime's robot form is cool and iconic and I'm psyched to get these mates. I would never have him posed in truck form anyway. The other thing some of us like about non-transforming figures is that there don't have to be trade-offs in the robot mode appearance for the sake of the transforming feature. I can see where you're coming from though. How can you call it a "transformer"? LOL

Never been interested in Vinimates. But if there were to be a Devastator and Omega Supreme, I'd buy them to go with these mates. This is seriously the best Minimate news in ages. Look how active the board is compared to recently.
