2023?

They cancelled Toy Fair, so our huge poster went unused. We would have had control art on display, even if it wasn't for public consumption. I believe the first Gallery Diorama will be revealed in May, with the Minimates in June, and the Vinimates 2-pack for SDCC possibly sooner.

On a side note, any chance of releasing more control art, even for the figures that have already been released? I always liked the design process and I thought alot of those pictures were fun. 

[DSTZach]

I'll keep it in mind, I don't run the social media anymore, but if we have an opportunity to share design sheets after a project is announced, I will. 

And somewhere I have some original design sheets drawn by Uriel Caton. I still need to give those away...

If we don't know the license by May, then I'm shaving your sideburns off!

Can we have a "sounds like" clue? Like "Cro Smessling" ?

[SCW]

I call dibs on Zach's sideburns.

[hellpop]

Hey Zach, any chance it will be revealed at the DST Showcase on Friday?

[Heinous]

Hmm, didn't realize Zach didn't run run the social media any more. Makes sense as they never repost from other pages using their products 

They could really use some help on their Instagram page.

No, but you can see Power Ranger MM Series 2 there! And G.I. Joe Series 2, of course. I think that's it for new Minimates. 

G.I. Joe Series 3 and 4 are designed, but not prototyped yet. Series 3 designs look amazing. 

Mystery License will have a Vinimates two-pack at SDCC, and paint masters exist, packaging is in the works. I do not believe the Minimates series 1 has been prototyped yet, but it should be in Previews by June. 

 

[THE_CRIPPLER]

I think the license could be Dragon Ball Z. The show has been on forever. They have lots of different crazy hair styles and also could come with different energy effects.  

[MiniMilner]

my guess is My Hero Academia, lots of different hairstyles and they could create accessories based on the moves and such.
 

one day I would love to see Nintendo Minimates, would be great!

Attack on Titan would offer some interesting synergy between Vinimates and MiniMates.

I didn't guess it though because AoT was meant to be ending this season and IIRC, one of the assertions for this license was that it wasn't going anywhere anytime soon?

Fast forward to now, which has revealed AoT to have the world's longest final season, with a Part 3 on the horizon for 2023.

Is it Simpsons?

 

Super7 is really pushing the license hard lately.

[elhonez]

Simpsons was guessed prior to Zach sharing that no one had guessed it yet. But maybe Zach was channeling Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire?

[DSTZach]

Not Simpsons. Reveal will likely be at SDCC at this point.  We want to kick it off with Minimates AND a Diorama. Diorama is not done. Painted Minimates are approved. 

[ApexPredator]

And a diorama?! What is this license??

I doubt the diorama is for Minimates (though that would be cool).

[Strider]

A diorama for minimates would be awesome. I also wouldn’t mind one for their Lord of the Rings line. They could do a mines of Moria one with Balin’s tomb.

[elhonez]

A MiniMates diorama could be a wrestling ring. Just sayin.

[DSTZach]

Sorry, Gallery Diorama, our PVC statue line. No diorama for the MM planned at this time, but it would be cool. 

[DSTZach]

After some delays soliciting the mystery Gallery Diorama, and therefore pushing back the mystery MInimates solicit, on July 1 we will reveal the remaining SDCC exclusives, including the Mystery VInimates 2-pack. That same day I will send out the press release announcing the new license, and everyone can finally be thrilled or disappointed. 

I believe we are finally going to solicit the Minimates on July 22, two days into SDCC.
