TBT! Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 The thread for the "guessing game" was bloated and now kinda pointless so for the sake of things being easy to follow please post any toyfair related shinanigans here. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hasbro is ending Galactic Heroes, and moving to a pre-school line of figures. Is the door open for Star Wars Minimates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hasbro is ending Galactic Heroes, and moving to a pre-school line of figures. Is the door open for Star Wars Minimates? How much more pre-school can you get from Galactic Heroes? Two points of articulation just too fast-eddie for the tykes? I wonder if Super Hero Squad is ending, too... That line has been scraping bottom with endless Iron Man repaints and only one or two new characters at most per wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hasbro is ending Galactic Heroes, and moving to a pre-school line of figures. Is the door open for Star Wars Minimates? That would be awesome, but it might also be the Lego line that's keeping Lucas from agreeing to license mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsrj22 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 For those who didn't read the other thread, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Minimates are coming. I am a HUGE MvC fan so I am pumped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome, but it might also be the Lego line that's keeping Lucas from agreeing to license mates. Still surprises me that Minimates of Halo were made when Mega Bloks has been making Halo sets for a few years now, so anything is possible. Though STar Wars is a much bigger franchise then Halo obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 so uh...didnt the show start at 10? does anyone know a site with pics or any news? (not just on mates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 so uh...didnt the show start at 10? does anyone know a site with pics or any news? (not just on mates) I'm pretty sure the show officially starts tomorrow (the 13th) and runs to the 16th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thor movie figures: http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/ha...thor-movie-line Mattel's going to be previewing stuff tomorrow as well. Toyfare isn't like a con, where companies stagger their rollouts; we should see everything by Monday. BTW, a friend of mine was able to attend last year (and will again this year, lucky bastard) and he said that Melissa & Doug is by far the biggest exhibitor at the show.

TM2 Dinobot Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 SDCC, not ToyFair. None the less: OMG GIMMIE!!!!! I will sell body parts for that Starscream. Especially since I guarantee he will be 4X the price on ebay the weekend of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 One of my best most memorable Christmas memories was getting the Skystriker. Cool they're finally revisiting it, though I would have no space for either of those and I'm not really into the line anymore anyway. Starscream repaint is pretty nifty, as well. Too bad Hasbro scrapped the idea of Transformers the Joes could fit into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it's limited availability, I'll really have to think about it. It seems hard to pass up, but hard to justify too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I know what you mean, but I am serious, this will quickly become the most expensive exclusive ever. Though when I first predicted $3000 I thought they weren't releasing the Skystriker, so it would be the only way to get the mold. Now I'm still thinking expensive, but the price by better than two thirds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Did we know Diamond got the Musters licence before today? No Minimates - just 7" figures: http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2011/02/munsters-blog/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjasontodd Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 i am happy to see DC Direct bringing back the Green Lantern line, probably to keep the Blackest Night line going without keeping the name. next to minimates this was the highest requested line.

winkerbean Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 the wait continues..... I feel your pain, it's 21:00 and not 1 picture of a minimate anywhere..... I'm off to watch the Baftas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda hope that we don't get Munsters Minimates announced; I can't imagine there'd be a buyer for them when there wasn't for things like the Godfather, Beverly Hills Cop, ect. And no, the Munsters wouldn't qualify as "huge". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT! Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 sigh. for the last time eveyone. the huge announcement was MvsC3. moc847 So what's the really huge announcement? I must admit this has been by far the quietest TF we've seen in some time from DST. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
