Rude. Now I will be thinking and cursing this the same way I still harp on about the ToyBiz GenX wave we never got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaqualizer Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 @thereasonsy I thought there were 2 waves of Gen X toybiz figures. Was there supposed to be more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Wave 3 would have had Husk, M and other Gene Nation folk. You can see Husk here: http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=302138 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Interesting! I really miss the old Kay Bee toys days. Sigh nostalgia is a powerful drug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sack was going to be an unarticulated bonus pack-in with one of them, if memory serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Nothing I can say out loud. BUt it will come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 That makes it sound like it'll be somewhere other than specialty, which is probably better for minimates as a brand, but less convenient for me personally. It's great that it's being released, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Super relieved to here that. Really looking forward to the Rogue/Cyke pack. But I might actually be more excited for Madame Masque & Holo-tony. They are some really nice, toyetic looking figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer it takes for an announcement the more I’m like well the cold never bothered me anyway. I get this. I get super excited seeing the product photos initially released and the longer it takes to get to store shelves the less likely I am to immediately scoop up something I originally thought was super exciting.

thereasonsy Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I think it comes from having so many great photos and prototypes shown that never make it to shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I thought the only time they hit shelves was when they were on display shelves at TF, etc. (The LotR 'mates were nice, but I've always thought it was odd that out of the 8 slots in that wave, 4 were dedicated to the Witchking. He's cool and all, but that seemed like overkill.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who didn't start collecting 'mates until a couple of years ago, I found it cool that a Lord of the Rings line was made, and that DST used pretty appropriate scales for the figures. But yea, some of the character choices seemed a bit odd, especially with that last wave (to be fair, I also collect Lego, who refused to make a Witch King based on his RotK, which is why it was cool to see a minifigure version of that costume, even if it wasn't produced in the end) Edited June 6, 2018 by OvenproofBug6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I didn't mean to derail this thread. I can post pics if someone has a more appropriate thread, or I'll just necromance the LOTR thread. And it was only 3 mates dedicated to the witch King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
