DSTZach Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) The B&W argument is different for Sin City than TWD for all the reasons Dr. Baghead lists. The comic covers and the mega-popular TV show made anything but color a silly choice for TWD. That said, the occasional black-and-white set has not been out of the question, especially once the line was seen to be successful. Maybe if the SC line takes off the occasional color set will be possible. JayBob and LiS were black-and-white first because we wanted to debut the lines at SDCC, and we thought the best way to do that would be with an exclusive. But the only existing tooling was the tooling for the first color set, so we did B&W versions, since it made sense for both. I imagine that if we thought the B&W one would be more popular, the color versions would have been the exclusives. I didn't know about the disparity in NECA sales, but I do think that B&W SC MInimates will be just as popular as color ones, if not more so. If there was a logical way to offer color versions without affecting overall sales, I'm sure we'd jump on it, but for now, Dwight's shoes will be red, the Yellow Bastard will be yellow, and I think that occasionally blood will be red. And I don't know enough about past arguments to know about DST's duck feet stance, but I believe we're now "anti." The line is constantly evolving, and now we have Frankenstein feet, Hulk feet, waist spacers... lots of alternatives. Perhaps someday someone will develop an alternative to black-and-white.

dr baghead Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I didn't know about the disparity in NECA sales... I should say that fact was purely anecdotal, but well researched. My wife (then just my best friend, my how time flies...) was big into Marv so I wanted to get her a B&W Marv figure. I hit up MANY a Suncoast, Boarders, Tower Records, Virgin Megastore, the Sony Metreon, stores that still exist, Barnes and Nobel, Hot Topics, Spencers, and a couple cons trying to find one and only came across the evenly packed color Marv who looked... odd to say the least. Maybe the color versions *eventually* sold, but the B&W ones definitely sold *first* (also... I liked duck feet, not on Hulk or any of the characters they actually came with though, but they really add a little something to my custom B:BT&TB Aquaman and height corrected Sagat, and I put a pair under Colossus’ boots to make him tailer... they were good for adding height to skinny legged characters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcansFury Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Dear Zach: You joke, but I would seriously buy a sepia tone minimate. That sounds incredibly cool! I asked about b&w SC vs TWD because I'd buy more b&w TWD like the Dale pack. As for red blood, someone else posted a SC pic of Benicio Del Toro from SC but his blood was not red. Sorry I havent watched this movie in a while, but isnt all the blood white in this film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Marv: Jackie Boy: He and his thugs also have the reflective white in that whole scene. Yellow Bastard & Hartigan: Shellie: So, I say it really depends what scene the figure will be from.

MisterMiracle Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I agree that it makes sense that these would be in black and white. With that said, I'm a big fan of colored Minimates. I always buy color when there's an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Went back to Delta's C2E2 video and grabbed screenshots of the items that haven't been solicited yet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Has there been any update on when these are shipping? Amazon has them listed for July 30, but they don't even have a picture of their site, it seems like a lot of stuff that was supposed to ship this month has been pushed back.

DSTZach Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I've had a packaged set for a while, should be out first week in August or thereabouts. Not next week, that I know of, and not the 30th. JayBob Set 1 hits on the 30th. And we solicit Set 2 this month. Soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Zach, has there been any discussion of Jacky Boy appearing in a future set? He was always one of my favorite characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 They're barely saturated in that picture (even zooming in), and I've got a great eye (wocka wocka) for color. Maybe it's my monitor. *shrugs* Obviously, I'll judge when I have him in person, and would prefer not to have to "fix" them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
