Loading ...Art Asylum has posted the latest Q&A regarding all things Minimates.
Below are the highlights:
- DST is happy to be working with Robert Kirkman.
- Best bet for questioning DC about Minimates is to approach them at trade shows.
- Best of series 3 is not planned yet. Purpose of the line is to make Marvel approachable to new customers, since 50 waves is a lot. Also, by utilizing popular characters, it serves as a good impulse buy.
- No plans for Lenore.
- Through the Ages box sets are a good way to capitalize on popular characters and will continue.
- Marvel line is planned through series 53.
- No plans for army builder box sets.
- No plans for Darksiders.
- No plans for Marvel Mangaverse.
- DST may post some sort of guide for the Walking Dead zombies, but that’s not certain.
- No plans to use Kickstarter.
- DST had expressed interest in Smallville during the show’s run, but the licensor was not interested.
- Valiant comics might be considered at a later date when they have a stronger following.
- Darkhorse would be a difficult license to obtain, since there are a number of different creators who would have to be approached, instead of the more standard umbrella license like you’d get from Marvel or DC.
- Customer service is glad to help however they can with quality control issues. DST strives to produce the best product they can, but problems will always be inevitable.
- Star Wars probably won’t happen anytime soon.
- No plans for a Disney video game license.
- No plans for KITT in convertible mode.
- Possibility for more Thundercats after series 4.
- No characters from the Walking Dead have been ruled out.
- Universal Monsters did better than many expected, but sales just aren’t where they need to be to make it a viable line.
- Walking Dead license does not include the video game set in the comic world.
- Since Spider-Man sees so many releases in the Marvel line, the likelihood of a Through the Ages boxset are slim. But it is Spider-Man we’re talking about so…
- No plans for a What If set.
- No plans for Black Knight, US Agent, Hobgoblin, Demogoblin, Doppleganger, or Deathlok in 2013.
- No plans for Street Fighter x Tekken beyond series 2.
- Always a chance for more Deadpool.
- Walking Dead is planned through series 4.
- There was some talk of Hobbit Minimates, but nothing came of it.
- GI Joe Minimates not very likely.
- No plans for Jaws.
- All Minimates are 2-inches in size.
- Might be time for an updated Hydroman and Sandman, but no plans for it.
