BuffaloDelorean Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 That's not was he meant, he means the property isn't like Marvel in that it doesn't have lots of colourful characters. I'd agree that a set for the first movie wouldhave made more sense. Maybe this set was meant to come out around JW2's release? It obviously isn't now.

cylonchaney Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) My ;point was just that lines with many civilians and few colorful characters don't seem to last. Rocky 3 would have been the best set of the line but we never got there. I'm still sad to have missed Clubber and Thunderlips. It is my sad theory that the intersection in the Venn diagram of Wick fans and Minimate buyers is too small to take a gamble on. Hopefuyll enough of us will buy this set that they decide to do more later. Why 2 instead of 1? Maybe they thought Common and Fishburn would be more popular than whoever would have filled their spots. I'm only in for Wick and Winston and don't care who they round it out with. But i'm less of a fan than many. PS What would really make the set pop is if there was a tiger! I think we can all agree on that.

I’d buy 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimatestopmotion Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I wish they made guns that he actually used in the movie instead of just repeats that have come in a ton of sets before. Because John Wick and Winston are the only 2 that I actually want. The Hotel concierge would have been cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Tigers are great. What the franchise needs is a flaming motorcycle. YB knows the score. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I haven’t seen these movies. I didn’t realize there was more than one. I literally bought the set for a dog. Now you tell me a flaming motorcycle is potentially on the table?!? I’m in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 All the current John Wick merchandise is based on the second film. Honestly, other than new characters, there isn't much difference in the looks between the three films. So does it really matter that the logo on the package (that most of us are going to throw away) is from the second film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 “We know ‘Return of the Jedi’ just came out but we’ve decided to focus our first assortment on ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ since Vader pretty much looks the same in all three movies.” — Diamond Select Toys, 1983 (alternate reality) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Logo on the package is a franchise logo covering all the films. Not sure we would have been allowed to mix movies in the package, though, so we went with the (relatively) star-studded sequel. And not sure we actually have the license for 3, we signed the deal long before 3 came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugieWargo Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Nice that the package covers the franchise as a whole. Personally, would love to have more figures based on the films, but am actually happy with what we're getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cylonchaney Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I'm starting to think that John Wick went for drinks with with Bruce Lee, Thunderlips, and Wave 15 Ghost Rider. None of them are cancelled. Just drunkenly trying to find their way home from the bar. Edited October 24, 2019 by cylonchaney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I finally got around to watching John Wick Chapter 2. Not gonna lie; it almost put me to sleep. Great start, compelling ending, utterly forgettable second act. Perfect for napping. Still not sure why DST started with this flick instead of the one that started it all but, hey, I'm buying it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 These would have been produced months ago. I don't know what the fuck they're thinking. Seems like Lionsgate would have said, "Hey, we have a third movie coming out. You'll probably want to time your product release with the theatrical and/or home video release. Here, have some assets." But no, they approve product based on the second film and DST misses the windows for both releases. I'm sure there's one factory overseas manufacturing Minimates. Obviously there are a finite amount of resources and time to get out what matters most. Right now that means keeping Walgreens and its 9,000+ stores stocked and making sure that Marvel annual guarantee is met. So John Wick can wait while DST pumps out another round of Endgame 4-packs. If these were canceled, DST has certainly taken their sweet time telling comic shops. (But when your parent company is Diamond, so what?) If they weren't canceled, they may have only made bare minimum quantities. Specialty will hopefully get what they ordered and the rest will go to a discount outlet. Those who preordered get to pay full price at their LCS and everyone else gets the Ross discount. Or maybe, maybe some marketing genius has convinced The Powers That Be to hang onto those John Wick 2 Minimates until May 2021 when John Wick 4 is scheduled to be released! Then there's Amazon which has the set listed for a March 2020 release. Optimism! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
