TNI gave us a look at the upcoming third wave of minimates for the Star Trek The Original Series.

This assortment will be available in two packs with the following pairings:

• Gladiator Kirk and Kor the Klingon
• “Space Seed” Khan and Dress Uniform Kirk
• Ambassador Sarek and Dress Uniform Spock
• VARIANT: “Spock’s Brain” Spock (with Ambassador Sarek)

Minimate HQ points us to the DST site where the lineup for the fourth and possible final wave of Battlestar Galactica Minimates has been announced. The wave is slated to include:

• President Roslin with Arrow of Apollo and Zarek (Council of Twelve version I think)
• Cali in deck suit and Lt Gaeta
• Doc Cottle and Lab Coat Baltar
• Variant: Miniseries Baltar

DST also reminds us to check out the BSG action figures coming later this Fall.

Among some unexpected news from Wizard World Chicago, it appears DST has put on display the previously unannounced wave 8 of the DC Minimate line. The line appears to include Cyborg, Raven, The Question, Salakk, Batwoman, Sinestro, Red Son Superman and Red Son Wonder Woman.

News came from MinimateHQ, while the image came from Fwooshnet.com.

As with each year at the SDCC, news is flowing out about upcoming plans, events and merchandise. Due to the sheer volume of data, I’m just going to cover the toy news from the Preview night (yesterday) and Day 1 (today).

I will be covering news for:

• The 7th Kingdom (FANtastic Exclusives)
• Minimates (Marvel)
• Marvel Legends (Main line and supplemental lines)

So if you are interested in any of these, continue on below!

More coming tomorrow!

Haha! I made a punny title.

…er, anyway, DST and Art Asylum…actually, DST just acquired Art Asylum, so just DST…will be offering a box set of Marvel Minimates based on the highly popular Marvel Zombies series. The set will feature Colonel America, Spider-man, Hulk, Luke Cage, Wolverine and finally revealed, the disembodied head of Zombie Wasp. These figures are due for release in late September and the set should retail for about US$19.99.

Minimate HQ reports that DST revealed the line up for the second wave of classic Star Trek minimates.

The line up is as follows:

• Battle Damaged Kirk and Gorn
• Mr. Spock (The Cage) & Uhura
• Sulu and Chekov
• Swashbuckling Sulu (Chase)

I have to say that Swashbuckling Sulu is ridiculously awesome.

Star Trek: The Original Series has gotten the minimate treatment and now some pictures have finally surfaced. Play.com (UK) has all three sets plus the variant figure listed separately for sale. Availability begins 2007.07.25. The break down is as follows:

• Kirk and Spock
• Mr. Scott and Dr. McCoy
• Captain Pike and Orion Slave Girl
• Dress Uniform Dr. McCoy (chase)

I have mirrored the images below. Be sure to check out Spock sporting a remolded hand and naturally the Orion Slave Girl. I encourage more Star Trek figures of this in any Star Trek line since there was effectively an equivalent to the Orion Slave Girl in nearly every episode, much like the poor Red Shirts.

  

News via Minimates HQ.

All week long, the Spider-Man 3 Minimate waves have slowly been revelead, via Art Asylum, Raving Toy Maniac, Minimate Multiverse, and Wizard. Each unveiled images from the line, which (coupled with the two Spidey Minimates from Wizard World LA) added up to the entire 17th and 18th wave… Except for the listed Battle-Damage Spider-Man, which is strangely missing from the images released. Here’s a list of all the characters included:

Marvel Minimates Series 17 – Red Spider-Man/New Goblin, Black-Suited Spider-Man/Flint Marko, Peter Parker/Eddie Brock, & a limited Transformation Venom

Marvel Minimates Series 18 – Transformation Spider-Man/Venom, Battle Damage Spider-Man/Sandman, Unmasked Black-Suited Spider-Man/Gwen Stacy, & a limited Mary Jane

And here’s the images!
