Swarm198 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 New Hasbro figures are hitting stores and seem to be flying off the shelves. Any plans for Minimates to go with the new series? DST had an animated set designed two years ago and we’ve been waiting for release ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 YAAASSS! I was desperate for that X-Men Animated Sinister. @DSTZach has stated a few times that they were still trying to find a home for the set. I feel like that'll be easier once X-Men '97 starts airing on D+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_in_training Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I might be wrong but I swear I saw a pic of some 97 Minimates somewhere online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Probably in the Walgreen's thread. They were teased, but Walgreens dropped them before they could see the light of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 It is still waiting in the wings... Not sure why we haven't offered it yet, but hopefully soonish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I had a dream last night that I went into one of the re-opened TRU stores, and these were hanging on the pegs. They were packed: Cyclops & Juggernaut Jean & Mr. Sinister Gambit & Rogue Beast & Storm I was surprised there was no Wolverine in the wave, so I kept looking around the toy aisle, and I found a new Wolverine Minimates 4-pack that had: Animated Wolverine Fatal Attractions Wolverine (sculpted pieces with his adamantium coming out all over) Feral Wolverine Wolverine as Fang (with additional Fang head) They all looked amazing, and I was so mad when I woke up that it was just a dream.

Onyx_6 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I used to have those dreams all the time! So sad I haven't had them recently. I must need more new actual mates to start the dreams flowing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJtheJuiceman26 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Any chance we could get some new X-Men minimates from their latest comic line? Some really cool designs in those new series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to see a couple of Minimates sets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 No plans for new/current X-Men looks -- I think we've decided that new and fresh is not always the best way to go, in case looks turn out to be short-lived or not well-received. The next few sets are decidedly nostalgic, and the X-Men set we have planned is very 1980s. BUT it does have an obscure X-Villain in it!

When will these be announced formally? This is my favorite X-Men era! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If it's Mutant Massacre, it could be like Scalphunter or Arclight. But yeah there was a lot of conjecture about Inferno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcade? Goblin Queen in her classic underboob halter? Marvel Now! Magik? Agent of SHIELD Mystique? So many minimates I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Series 85 (Spider-Verse) is getting its packaging approved now, so 86 (Spidey set #2) will be hopefully be offered in a couple of months, and MAYBE ship before end of year. The X-set is Series 87, so it would PROBABLY be early 2025. Edited February 29 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Zach’s quote from the Daredevil page was this: “Series 86 is based on a 1990s storyline, and has two new characters, plus one who has only been done animated.” Now he’s confirmed it’s also Spider-Man which means I’m doubling down on this being Clone Saga. Jackal’s coming, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 It could be based on The Gathering of Five storyline. With Kaine being the character we got based on his animated appearance. Mattie Franklin and Madame Web could be the two new characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Kitty Pryde might make a comeback if it's the 80s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
