monkeycrumb Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Counting down to SDCC 2011!! In previous years we've seen new stuff at the show, but not massive amounts usually. What do you guys hope/think we'll see? I'm sure we'll see KITT from Knight Rider, along with the MAX APC and whatever else comes in the vehicles wave 3 Personally, I'm just hoping for some new Movie/TV licenses, as I'm really getting tired of Video Game licenses. I'm sure we'll see more Marvel - that's pretty much a sure thing. Also, is anyone here planning on attending the DC Direct Panel and asking about DC minimates??

Lobsterman Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Also, is anyone here planning on attending the DC Direct Panel and asking about DC minimates?? Yes. And bugging each and every person manning the DC Direct booth, each and every day. I expect to get the same answer as always, but you can't blame a guy for trying...

monkeycrumb Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 you can't blame a guy for trying... No, but I can sure applaud you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If nothing else comes from the show, I'll be happy with a preview of MODOK! I bet we'll see another couple of Marvel boxsets, and maybe Wave 42/TRU 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Was it mentioned in another thread that we'd be seeing TRU 11, 12 & 13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 You know what I'd like to see? Little edible gummy Minimates. I keep holding out hope that one day we'll see Image or Darkhorse 'mates. Maybe this is the year... or not. I expect we'll see the next wave of Calico Jack and M.A.X. and the Marvel line up for the rest of the year. Maybe we'll a get a glimpse at the Marvel Best of Movie thing that popped up on one of those TRU lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I keep holding out hope that one day we'll see Image or Darkhorse 'mates. Invincible Minimates would start me collecting again for sure! They've got enough characters now for at least 6 waves and probably 2-3 boxsets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I think Kirkman has unfortunately said that he doesn't have much interest in making toys from his characters, which makes no sense to me. I hope he changes his mind. I really would like to see DST tap into an indie comic with a large cast of characters, like Invincible or Project Superpowers.

Mystery Man Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Besides the usual parade of personal wants (that guy who's name begins with a "K" and ends in "ANG", for one) I'd really like to see more comic book Marvel characters now that the big burst of movie is over for a short time. More new characters with some re-do's of much needed folks (dinky Rhino, fat classic Iron Fist, no mouth Power Man) would be wonderful. As for non-comic properties... speeding up the Universal Monsters release dates would be IDEAL. Dark Horse and Image 'mates would be fantastic. Mike Allred's Madman and Mike Mignola's Hellboy would honestly make me quit asking about Kang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 According to AFX's FB page, Walt Simonson will be at their SDCC booth signing the Stormbreaker minimate sets. As far as WHAT will be shown at the DST booth, I hope to see a Kang prototype (will hell freeze over first?) and I'd like to see a finished KITT and Michael Knight prototypes as well.

fwoosheyman Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm hoping for the rest of MvC Wave 2 and all of Wave 3. Another wave of Halo with a lot of non-repaint minimates. And the next wave of Marvel with Captain America and Thor characters not in TRU wave 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) According to AFX's FB page, Walt Simonson will be at their SDCC booth signing the Stormbreaker minimate sets. Talk about cool. Folks, if you younger comics fans have not read Simonson's run of Thor, take the time to hunt this down. Ranks as one of the best runs of any comics I've ever read. Wonderful use of actual old Norse myths, ensorcerled sex slaves, and deaths. Go read it. I just want to see series 42, maybe 43, TRU 12 & 13, Waves 2 & 3 of MvC3, and a few Marvel and MvC3 boxed sets. (yes, I maintain my riduclously narrow focus on 616 Marvel, and yes it's still a financial choice than anything else.)

karamazov80 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Pretty sure we're gonna get that long-delayed Defenders V2 box set everyone wants more than any other set imaginable. You know: Nighthawk, Hellcat, Son of Satan, Gargoyle. I also imagine they'll finally get around to everyone's second most highly desirable set(s): Squadron Supreme. ensorcerled Great word! I wanna be encorcerled. Preferably not as a sex slave, but then again, I suppose that would depend on who I was made a slave for. Either of those chicks from "That 70s Show" would work (no, not the mom. . .but then again. . .). Edited July 8, 2011 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I liked Donna so much better as a redhead. Blonde Donna just wasn't as ensorceling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Agreed! Most people attribute the downfall of the show to Eddie Brock leaving, but it was really Donna going blonde that did it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I think Kirkman has unfortunately said that he doesn't have much interest in making toys from his characters, which makes no sense to me. I hope he changes his mind. I really would like to see DST tap into an indie comic with a large cast of characters, like Invincible or Project Superpowers. That was his stance, but later this year he is releasing 2 waves of Walking Dead figures by McFarlane... both comic and TV series. Here's hoping but I seriously doubt it.

karamazov80 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 yay! another wish list that won't happen. Agreed. Anything apart from no-brainers like Defenders V2 and Squadron Supreme is just wishful thinking at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Get Fonzie in here and let's jump the shark Mr. Henry Winkler takes great offense at this phrase. No, seriously. I saw him get very defensive during an interview about his roll in creating the phrase. He vehemently pointed out that the episode in question was actually very highly rated (even in reruns), the show continued to win it's time slot for several more years after that, and stayed in the top ten shows through out it's run. So in his expert opinion, the very pretense on which the concept has been named is flawed. Just sayin'. Actually Henry's sayin', I'm just repeatin'.
