Holding back from huge rant here. But that show was pathetic and I don't think it did well or would inspire much in the way of collectible purchases. Maybe I'm one of those toxic fans that you hear about but IMHO modern trek is not trek at all and Gene is probably spinning in his grave. I watched and enjoyed every previous Trek series and enjoyed them all. Enterprise had just finally found its stride when cancelled and was the last decent thing in the franchise. I watched 2 seasons of Discovery. I'm done. Watched one episode of Lower Decks, done. One season of Picard. Poorly written and extremely disrespectful to its origins. Done. The people in charge of Trek these days seem to not understand Trek. I would not buy any products based on these new series no matter how good the product. Ok Maybe if they made a retro Warbird or Klingon ship so Kirk could have some space battles but that's it. Anyone who feels differently, fair enough but Trek is basically dead to me at this point and I was a fan since childhood. I know I'm far from alone on this. Anyhow, sorry for the negativity. I hope one of these days they make something that inspires merchandise purchases to the point where it triggers some retro-Trek mate product, including ships and aliens. Cheers.

I'm actually quite interested to see a new take on Cylons. The classic "Razor" style Cylons from the new series were awesome. I wish they had been the current model. One thing that show did right was to show respect for the original. I loved how the historical tech was styled as an homage to classic BSG and their current tech was clearly evolved from it. I didn't really like the new centurion design but at least they appeared to be an evolution of the older models. Now that I think about it, I hope this new reboot insanely popular and results in minimate vehicles being made so classic Starbuck and Apollo can finally get a sweet ride! PS Razor style centurions are one of my favorite minimates. I have a small army of them.

An unneeded reboot of an unneeded reboot. LOL I did actually enjoy the first unneeded reboot though I was disappointed in the ending. I have ALL the mates and will probably buy ones from the new series if we get them. I hope it's good. Also, this made me laugh. Interesting perspective from Tricia Helfer: “When this one came along with Sam (Esmail), who’s brilliant, right? It did feel a little like a punch to the gut.”

Nice!

That's a pretty good likeness!

Zach is belated Santa last couple of days!

We have 95 Spiderman variants. One more's not going to hurt. I do hope the 100th Spiderman gets a better look than this though.

Happy New Year everyone.

I got one of the Mallrats ones last time so I don't want to be greedy. But if there only end up being three of us to respond, I'll take one. Thanks! Happy new year.

That's a cool set. Why do I suddenly have a craving for Slurm?

Just past midnight here. Merry Christmas everyone!

Agreed. I love that this a place where fighting over the orange man means taking sides on which is the definitive version of The Thing. Happy holidays everyone. Wishing you all a better 2021.

Bad day to be Spidey!

You guys are both very creative with mixing parts to create new characters.

Not sure if you were replying to PL and / or me. I'm pretty sure those are reality shows with regular folks in them which would make boring mates. IMHO Raised by Wolves is an HBO Max Sci-fi show. It has some robots and people in sci-fi uniforms. Much more suitable to mates. When I first heard of it, I figured it was some kind of reality show that I wouldn't be interested in. LOL

You should check it out. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. I hope there's a season 2. I'm excited for Dune but less than some folks. I'm one of the few who think Lynch nailed it. If the Lynch version was split into two movies it would be the definitive adaptation in my opinion.

I've been burned on a couple of kickstarters and am not backing any more. However, if it was Luke, I would break this rule as I would be confident in getting my product at the end. There's some positivity for you.

"Raised by Wolves" might make some interesting mates.

In tears over the tiers.

I like the little ladders so they can visit their friends on different tiers.

Arnie in a sequel to Predators might actually work for me. They should ignore The Predator and just pretend it never happened. Even the AvP movies were better than this one IMHO.

Hopefully one of the things they do is start paying Alan Dean Foster the royalties they owe him for Star Wars and Alien franchise novelizations. https://nypost.com/2020/11/20/star-wars-writer-alan-dean-foster-says-disney-owes-him-royalties/

I can't imagine them getting the license to make SW mates and not doing it. I'm assuming that the license would include rights to OT characters. Might as well just stop making minimates altogether if you can't sell OT Star Wars characters.

Maybe it's because they own Marvel now?
