Netflix has been playing the publicity for this movie close to the vest, not wanting to reveal too much too early. Hopefully as the movie gets closer, they will ramp up promotion. So I'm not surprised people have not heard of it, sadly. 

I'm pretty sure the strike interfered with the promotion of pretty much everything, given that their talent can't do any interviews of any kind.

[DSTZach]

True, they also couldn't approve their likeness on products for a while there.

but they could make Swift money if they made a Swift minimate. It's a paradox

There’s no reality where they can make Swift money….

[DSTZach]

MM are a low-margin item. We make very little money per MM. Only a huge order would make it possible to meet any financial guarantee to the Swift people. Maybe if we built up a real MM relationship with Walmart, and they expressed interest in a music line, we could go after it, but they didn't take Rebel Moon, despite being all in on the action figures. And I'm pretty sure we CAN'T sell Marvel there, so I'm not sure what they would take. TMNT?

Why not?

Swift Minimates? Oh boy, how the conversations have shifted.  The visuals I have seen from Rebel Moon look incredibly interesting to me.  Will that translate to Minimates?  I think the art and production on Minimates is as good or better now, than it has ever been (RIP Eddie Wires).

Marvel Select is specialty stores only, so as not to compete with Legends. I am not sure that Minimates is any different, at least not since Hasbro came into the picture as master toy licensee. (I know they started at Target.) And no, Walgreens may not count as mass market.

They came out great. I honestly can't wait to show them off, and I hope they sell well and I hope we can make more! Horned bikini alien FTW!

First pic from NYCC! Series 1 will include "Kora, Jimmy, Nemesis, and Admiral Atticus Noble, along with a full array of accessories."

[buttheadsmate]

Impressive . I like the guy in the cap & uniform esp. 

[Navaan]

I hope I like the movie and pick these up, but being real, I dunno what I would use these parts for. They're crazy cool just not something I see myself needing. Hopefully, movie catches me and I can get into these.

I'm just happy to have swords with scabbards!

[Freaqualizer]

I think the hat on the character that is second from the left would be a dope hat for DC’s Scarecrow. 
 

[BuffaloDelorean]

Kora's in the poncho, Nemesis is the witch, Atticus is the Wolfenstein-y guy, and Jimmy's the robot?

This movie's supposed to be Star Wars-adjacent, right? Will Nemesis' (?) swords be translucent?

[NerdyTrev]

Atticus Noble is so on the nose it could only be a Snyder character 

[DSTZach]

Nemesis' swords, from what I have seen, heat up, so they go from a cool metal to a red-hot look. So they will not be translucent that I am aware of. 

[minimateship]

Woo! can't wait for the tray shot; hopkinsbot looks cool enough to sell me a box all alone!

second that @Freaqualizer re: the hat being ideal for a Scarecrow custom (and other spooky sorts!) the military bloke looks pretty nifty also

[luke314pi]

Here's the solicitation shot of these! We have them up for preorder here. 

[Navaan]

I want this movie to be good so I can have a new fandom to follow.

[AugieWargo]

That hat is totally going to be one piece with the hair isn't it?

[DSTZach]

Looks like yes. I had hoped it would come off, because she does fight without it, but the design sheets say otherwise. Sorry.

That's why I was hoping it would come off. Still nice new piece to get. and thanks @DSTZach

This set is arriving on June 5th. I watched Part 1, but I haven't watched Part 2 yet. I am curious to see how the upcoming Director's Cut is different.
