hellpop Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Come on Zach just give me the Rocketeer! You know that's all I want and I'll shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 DST's new solicitations are out (no, they don't include any Minimates); what interests me is that apparently the Black Hole and Rocketeer will be released at the same time, as part of an ongoing Disney Selects line: https://news.toyark.com/2019/07/26/dst-solicitations-black-hole-avatar-the-last-airbender-marvel-dc-bruce-lee-and-more-358456 Now, I don't think I'm the only one here who immediately thinks this would be a great way to do Minimates as well. DST might not be able to get buyers to support a Black Hole or Rocketeer box set, but as part of a wider Disney live-action Minimate line? That would work perfectly.

BuffaloDelorean Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Did they make any other Wonderland characters? It's weird that White Rabbit's the only one there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a member of the Queen of Heart's army and what looks like Alice between Maximillian and Roger Rabbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdoughboy Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I think that's the blue fairy next to Roger Rabbit. There has to be more to the Disney Kubrick collection because the character focus is really weird (many NBX characters but not Sally and no Alice or Cheshire Cat).

BuffaloDelorean Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 That's even stranger. A card without the Red Queen, and no Alice or Ches. I'm sure it wouldn't happen, but I'd love to get classic Alice 'mates. I'm still disappointed we never got the White Rabbit and normal Cheshire cat from the Burton movies.

That got me thinking .....from what I know , I know of no other Wonderland kubrick Disney characters.  7 hours ago, darthdoughboy said: I think that's the blue fairy next to Roger Rabbit.

There were 4 NBX box sets released in 2001 ( 14 years prior to the Minimates ...just saying) some of which were then re-released in 2005 . Plus several Tron box sets ( Tron in 2001 ...er 17 years prior to Minimates ) Medicom also did a couple of 'Toy Story' box sets & some years later, a wave of them . Monsters Inc. had a couple of waves ..........I'm never sure whether to class Pixar stuff as Disney ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't stand for the same things. Pixar exists to tell wonderful stories that can reach everyone. Disney exists to make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
