Trekker 42 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Dude... Maestro got swag. I like it. A lot. Better than Wolverine which I don't particularly need as they've once again skipped the two truly great Wolvie variations: Skele-Wolverine and the much lamented Weapon X. So who's that with Airwalker? That's Firelord right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 And the one attached to Dr. Strange's foot is funny. Just look at the expression on his face as he stepped in it. The shot from the minibar writes itself. #tentaclerape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 It looks like the Wolvie TTA set will be made up of: Gaijin/Japanese Kimono Wolverine Astonishing X-men/Current Wolverine Ultimate Wolverine Update Crazy Venom Wolverine (did this really happen? Is this actually a thing?) The space armour that featured in Fatal Attractions probably looked a bit like this & is being thrown in as accessories it seems. So - if you have a spare 90's Logan at home, you can futuristicate him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvis497 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Didn't see this mentioned yet, but check out what Puppet Master's holding EDIT: I don't think that's a Wolverine TTA box set as they all represent the modern age. That symbiote Wolverine was from a New Avengers arc a few years ago, I've heard the Space Wolverine is AVX, then you have his current costume and the Ultimate version. Through the Ages sets represent various eras, so it's possible that these Wolverine's could spread out over releases. Or it could just be a Wolverine box set under a different name. The later being most likely. Edited October 12, 2012 by bigvis497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Grune. 4th boxset is a disappointment (Jaga repaint and Young Lion-O). With all the major characters done in the first 4 boxsets is there any chance for a 5th with Lynx-O, Pumyra and Bengali? I was really hoping they would be in the boxset with Mumm-ra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMiracle Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The new Fantastic Four Minimates look great. I'm glad we're getting a new Thing and Human Torch. I could have lived without the Wolverine set. It would have been cool to get an all-out Venom Wolverine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Sorry, sorry, I haven't gotten a chance to post until now. Long day. But a fun one, and I spent a lot of time with Team Minimates. I had long talks with Chuck, Robert, and Zach, and I don't think we say it enough, but those guys are AWESOME. Just a great bunch of guys, and I'm really glad Minimates are in their hands. So, some random thoughts and tidbits to pass on: -You've seen the Hulk and Wolverine sets. Both were pitched to a large retailer that has carried Minimate in the recent past, but they said no thanks, so now they'll be solicited through Diamond. The Hulk set is very cool, but the Maestro is just fantastic. His cape is designed to slip over the powerhouse piece, so he'll loose none of his stature. The Space Wolverine is indeed based on that old Toy Biz figure, which Robert had as a kid. And the mask on that figure is based on Ed McGuinness' art. It looks really nice, actually. -The Puppetmaster will also come with a suit piece, which is also intended to be used to make a civilian Reed Richards. And I think the Human Torch is going to have an extra head as well. Also, you can't believe how cool the Thing bust that comes with Alicia Masters is. -I asked Chuck about two properties- WWE and Disney- that I think would do well for them. He said that they have talked to WWE in the past, but that Mattel's license is basically all-encompassing. So even though they're not going to do Minifigs, there's no room for DST. But you never know. As for Disney, Chuck told me that they did a whole bunch of designs for a particular Disney property, but then DIsney decided they didn't want to push that property. I'm not sure if I can say what it was, but OH MY GOD THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE COOLEST MINIMATES EVER. -I got to see a package sample of the AvX set, and I don't think I can reveal too much, but I can say that it looks very cool, and that there's no surprises in the final lineup. -The Minimate-only display is actually a separate room off the floor. Zach was setting up several display cases with a smattering of Minimates past and present. The most notable thing there is a Spidey MAX prototype, from Chuck's personal collection. Can't say I'd seen one of those before. Zach said they had a lot of back and forth about whether to show more promos or produced figures, but they ultimately went with the actual product. I think it's a pretty cool setup, and I hope a lot of people turn out. I was there for awhile, and there was a steady stream. Unfortunately, the DST ad in the program has the wrong room listed. -Bough my Alpha Flight and Thundercats sets, but haven't opened them yet. Pat from AFX is hoping to do a fifth one if the first four sell well enough, which would complete all the major characters from the show. Hope he doesn't mind me revealing that... Anyway, it was a fun first day of the show. Don't expect too much more in the way of reveals, if at all, though I was told there probably will be one more thing announced before the end of the year. Oh, and yes, I got my anniversary Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Oh, something else I forgot to add: -Chuck told me that DST's license isn't just for the Walking Dead, but for the whole of Robert Kirkman's Image properties. So they could do Invincible, Firebreather, Battle Pope... I told him to do Invincible. -Also, Kirkman has input on EVERYTHING. It's not just that he says "put Rick and a Zombie in a pack" but he'll say "make Rick look like this, and use this Zombie from this issue and this panel". Sales for WD look very good so far; personally, I saw several sets on sale at the con. And, in general, I saw a lot more Minimates on sale then I have in the past, which is great. I remember a few years ago when the only Minimates you could find were the ones at the DST booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 ok that Kirkman news just made my day, i was recently saying how Invincible would be my dream license...and if Kirkman has a ton of input on it, i think it'd be incredible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Oh my God BATTLE POPE COULD BE A MINIMATE. BATTLE POPE. COULD BE. A MINIMATE. ... This should happen. Everything about this should happen. Your opinion on the comic notwithstanding... IT'S A BATTLE POPE. Who could say no to a Battle Pope?

hellpop Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I should be clear that they didn't say they have any plans as yet to do Invincible as of now, but that they could... so please don't take this as "DST announces Invincible coming in 2013!" I'm probably not going to finish my Atom Eve custom, though, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 no no, i just mean the possibility is awesome plus it is a well known comic with TONS of variations of the main character so....i think it'd sell well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
