Congratulations to the winners

[Gmonkey2k]

Holy crap, how did I miss this??? Thank you Zach!!

[Trekker 42]

They’re here! And they’re beautiful!

Get these from Luke while you can, everyone. They’re easily worth it.

Zach, any update on if the X-men Animated Series minimates ever found a new home or if they have just been cancelled?

[DSTZach]

They are still in active discussion. 

[rman1115]

Thats so exciting, thanks Zach!

[Strider]

Nice to know there is still a chance.

[DSTZach]

I think it's just a matter of where and when, not "if". And we may see more than four.

*SQUEE* This is exciting news. Do we have an idea of the format we might see? 

Because if it's anything like the G I Joe footlocker assortments with the retro style card backs, I *will* be selling a kidney to make sure I get them all.

Nostalgia > Common sense 🤣

[DSTZach]

I doubt we'd do them carded, but a Deluxe box set has been discussed.

Hey everyone I been a collector since 08 but I took a break back in 2014-2015 when I started having kids and started working more. I just recently got back into collecting and I saw that I missed out on alot of cool waves.I saw that kaine scarlet spider was released a few years back and I wanted to see if anyone can help me find one to purchase or trade? 

[Heinous]

Where are you located? 

[Tony_in_training]

In Houston Texas

Any new news on the animated X-men mates? The new figures and jet look nice. Maybe a chance to update 90's Storm with the new look......😬

[DSTZach]

I have not heard any movement, although I occasionally ask about it. I think we are still trying to build traffic to the DST site before we launch an exclusive.

Gonna take a stab in the dark and assume the Walgreens 'Mates are permanently dead in the water?

[DSTZach]

Do you mean Minimates at Walgreens or the 90s Xmen Minimates we were originally going to release at Walgreens?

The former are no longer. The latter will be released, some sooner than others.

Was referring to the former in specific, yeah. But the latter gives me a degree of hope on future releases. I've loved X-Men '97 so far. And the Minimates look great from the promo art we got back in 2020.

It's a real shame, tho. I work at Walgreens. I would have LOVED to have gotten more figures from there.

Sadly, God constantly points and laughs at me with contempt and spite. 😭
