MisterPL Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I'm just finding out about this now but apparently a company called Well Played Toys has the Lost in Space license. Not only are they planning 6" and 3 3/4" figures, since they have their own construction sets they're offering blind-bagged mini-figs. Here's what they showed last year. Looking forward to seeing more in a couple days. Oh, and the company is practically located in my backyard. DC Collectibles just changed their name back to DC Direct, so nostalgia is strong. Expectations are lower than ever for Minimates so there's nowhere to go but up. Quote
hellpop Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Apparently Hasbro is finally offering a 6" GI Joe line, so that will probably be the dominant collector news. Quote
MisterPL Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 I know a lot of GI Joe collectors are into the figures but what's always attracted this collector to smaller scale lines is the ability to offer vehicles and playsets. That ability diminishes dramatically as the scale goes up, especially with a mass market line like GI Joe. Snake Eyes looks great, and he's got loads of detail, but now I'm wondering if HasLab's next project will be something to go with these 1/12 scale figures. Quote
MisterPL Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 And in a move that should surprise no one, Hasbro and Disney have renewed their Marvel and Star Wars agreement. Quote
hellpop Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Fwoosh has a couple leaked images of Roadblock and Scarlett from the 6" GI Joe line, and I dunno what they are thinking. Rather than making them look like the classic Joes, they've gone with redesigns that make them almost unrecognizable. I think they've completely misunderstood the audience for this line; it's surprising, since they've done such a good job with Star Wars Black and Marvel Legends. Quote
funkguerilla Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Marvel Legends is getting into the Maximum Venom game with a few new venomized figures. You think it's a hint to what we may see at Walgreens later this year? Like they'll do a series 2 (or 1b) with a Gwendom, Venomized Miles, Iron Man, and... um... Captain Marvel? Not that we'll see any of that at the show, but you know, for future thoughts. Quote
DSTZach Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Series 80 and 81 are at the show. Teased a couple on FB and TW. Quote
NerdyTrev Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 81 hasn't been talked about! I'm excited to find out what's in store for that one. Quote
Padrino Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Photos?!?!?!?!? What's the lineup for 81??? Edited February 21, 2020 by Padrino Quote
SuperChefMate Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) All we can see from the picture on Facebook is: Classic stealth Iron Man Ghost Current costume Spider Woman Probably Constrictor And maybe, Deathlok and Yelena Black Widow Edited February 22, 2020 by SuperChefMate Quote
DSTZach Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Because there's no press at the DST booth today, and I don't know how focused on Minimates most of them will be, and because I like you guys, here's the rest of Series 80. No BAF this series, sadly. If no pictures of 81 get out on Sunday I'll take some of that series as well. Quote
AugieWargo Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 So awesome. Seriously, four out my top five most wanted. Thanks for posting the photos, Zach Quote
Trekker 42 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 This wave was not made for me. But I’m very glad it was made for the people it was made for. Quote
Polarboy Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Cool looking figs, nobody i was personally hanging out for but they are colourful eye catching designs that will look great with my collection. Quote
BuffaloDelorean Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 These look great, especially Deathlok and Constrictor, who I'd agree are two of the most important unmade characters. I do really wish Mockingbird was classic, but it's nice just to get her. Quote
Ozymandias Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I'm biased toward classic characters, so each pack has something for me. Loving the reveals so far! Quote
kidcage Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 What an absolute blast of a wave. All have appeal to me, and it's so cool to have Constrictor, Deathlok, and Mockingbird in this form now. That Constrictor really pops. Quote
Mystery Man Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I wish we were getting classic Mockingbird and Ghost, but that Stealth Iron Man, Constrictor and Deathlok are CHOICE! Quote

Padrino Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Starjammers!!!! Who are the other 2 figures in that set? Quote
Ozymandias Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Wow... DST is definitely hearing us... I'd have prefered Dark Phoenix instead another regular Phoenix, but I'm happy anyway. I don't know about the other two in that wave, but I guess Wolverine in Fang costume would make sense. Quote
