hellpop Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Toyark has a bunch of preview night galleries up (I'm sure other sites do too, but Toyark's the best IMHO). Nothing from DST yet. But I know that PL will be really excited to see this gallery: http://news.toyark.com/2018/07/19/sdcc-2018-gallery-king-kong-mez-itz-and-more-307435 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I was just perusing that. Nothing new for DC Mezitz, right? Kong does look pretty cool though. I like big apes. What really caught my eye is this DST gallery: Check out images 8-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Those are the same Met-itz they've been showing for years. Just let it go Mezco nobody wants them. Toyark has galleries up for DST. There are no new minimates. In fact the only minimates even displayed are KH wave 2 and the Sonic boxset. ? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Was just gonna post that. If I recall, DST often doesn't show new Minimates until after the panel. Let's hope that the Toyark guys just didn't photograph any of the Marvel stuff, because if they don't have any Marvel waves on display that would be troubling.

Heinous Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Minimates seem to always be the last thing shown. Or it just feels like it. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'd still hope that at least wave 76 would be out now but I'll save the freaking out until Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCW Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Is it me or do the Sonic Minimates look better? They all looked pretty wonky to me when first revealed, but now they look better. Did they modify the heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think before they were sculpted hai pieces on a standard head. EDIT: Nevermind.

Trekker 42 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 HEll yes BC Avengers. I will have to hunt Walgreens yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 BC Avengers seems like an odd choice that we're going to be citing for a long time. I guess I thought fandom's response to the concept was mostly a collective eyeroll. The individual minimates don't look too bad though.

hellpop Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Ah good. They must not have been photographed by Toyark or something. I haven’t read the new Avengers comic yet, but the BC concept is cool and those brief glimpses look very nice. Kudos to DST for getting these out there, I hope they sell well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 That Doctor Strange and Ghost Rider pack looked cool from what I could see. It’ll be nice to have another Ghost Rider in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited to never seeing them at any of the stores around me, and then having to buy them for an inflated price online. Can't wait!

MrClean Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I wish I could say I can't wait, but seeing as how I've yet to see Infinity War wave 2, Animated series 8 or Animated series 9 in any Walgreens, I'm pretty sure the 2 full pegs of older series, currently sitting untouched everywhere, will not have room for multiple comic based or animated lines for a very long time, if ever. That Walgreens exclusive sticker might as well have a big middle finger on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 If the BC Avengers are a different UPC/Stock# (they should be) they should be easy to find. Several comic waves later when that same UPC/Stock# is still being used for each wave is when all the trouble will start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bigger overlying problem is that they just don't have the shelf space. They already take up 2 pegs at most stores. I don't see any other lines with more space than that. It's not a dominant toy brand in a store that's not a toy store. It's a losing recipe either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 A thought: Since there are packaged samples of the BC Avengers wouldn't that suggest this wave was in the works for Walgreens before TRU closed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
