Power Rangers Minimates

[spidermatt]

I hope the Power Ranger line isn't dead. There are so many other great teams and zords that need to be made.

Are the megazord/Dragonzord vinimates on the dst site preorder? Or in the warehouse ready to ship out?

They are in the warehouse, so they should be getting shut off soon on the site as they prep all of the pre-orders to ship. Then it will come back as an in-stock.

Anyone ordering Vinimates from DST or BBTS (e.g.) might want to add the  various Godzilla Vinimates that are still available  to their order.   Those particular vinimates are really nice ,worth having & pose well with several Minimate characters.

 

I know I keep on but there is one rule of thumb (pun intended) for a good Vinimate is .....if it has non-minimate type hands then it nigh on always looks great .  I detest the stylised hands which feature on most Vinimates .

Especially if you’re getting Zords. The Godzilla Vinimates will make badass Zord scale enemies. 

[buttheadsmate]

Zords have been shipped from DST .

[AugieWargo]

I've just started buying Vinimates so I may track down the Zords. It will probably be easier than tracking down the Imaginext Zords

I got my Zord Vinimates and the Dragonzord does not have a tail.  Looks like there was space in the blister for one.  Did I get a bum set or did that not cost out or something?

I just checked my set since I had not yet opened it & mine has the tail so it is sounding like you unfortunately got a bum set

[Chooch]

Thanks for the confirmation Hellfire.  On the plus side he balances well without it.

SOrry, Chooch, feel free to reach out to customer service (webcustomerservice@diamondselecttoys.com).

Thanks Zach!  email sent.

[DSTZach]

Don't e-mail a retailer. They usually kick it back to us anyway, and it erodes their confidence in the product.

Thank you for clarifying.

Chooch, I see the CS request and will likely send it out myself.

Chooch's misfortune did not warrant my attempt at humour , no harm meant .  Well done Zach for sorting this out for him.

A happy end to his tail.

Wow, thanks!  That's service!

[Chooch]

Happy ending to our tail.  DST sent me one, it fits perfect!  Thanks @DSTZach for the guidance and helping push that through!

[DSTZach]

No problem! 

[MJtheJuiceman26]

👀 Any updates on the status of the line? Would do some unsavory things for a Goldar/Villian box set! 

[DSTZach]

I have not heard anything new, but I know it took us a while to sell out of the DVD set. We're still making product, a new Red Ranger Gallery and I think another Legends in 3D bust, so anything is possible.  

[buttheadsmate]

The DVD set was released between the releases of box sets 1 & 2 . I personally found that odd .  

Pure conjecture on my part , if sales of the second release ....the DVD set ...were sluggish then (perhaps) a decision was made (at the top) to decrease the production on 'Box set 2' ?  I'm pointing that out because Box set 2 is (as far as I can see) completely unobtainable anywhere whilst the  'DVD' & 'Box set 1'  are still plentiful.

You may be right, these decisions are above me.

I just assumed people bought multiples because of the extra heads. 🤷

The DVD set was a pretty poor idea overall. I get it's an easy exclusive and it would have made sense down the line, but with no villains, the last thing we needed were more PRs, especially ones with less weapons and sculpting than the first sets. The DVD packaging was also confusing to a lot of people because it looked like it actually had a real DVD in it.
