This is the first I've heard of the term "midnight moms", and it sounds sexy.

All of the DI2.0 playsets have been revealed, they're only the 3 Marvel this time. Nothing else coming.
There's one more character that hasn't been announced yet.
Also this time they listened to people complaining about "can't play with X character in Y playset" and there are things called Crossover Coins you can collect that let you take different characters into playsets they aren't associated with.

character wise there is at least one original Disney female(based on tweets potentially a "princess") that isn't announced.
supposedly another Marvel character is rumored as well.
Yeah, saw that, no shrink or stings, just there, Ms. Marvel is there too as a NPC and She Hulk is rumored as one too.

Last night I was told all the characters have been revealed already except for the final Marvel character, but I'll ask about the other princess.

That's because it's Marvel this go-round. I mean when they do a straight Core Disney sequel. Also it'd be weird to do a playset with new figures, that would piss people off.
It's Gotta Be KANE er I mean Thanos
If you sell 50 Elsas and 45 Annas, that's still a lot of Annas.

John was asked at the Toy Box summit who his favorite Disney character was and he said it was an unannounced female character.
He specifically says Venom is his favorite Marvel character.
Princess thing is based off him responding to someone asking for more princesses which he mentions all released so far(he counted vanellope) and said "more to come"
So not proof or anything really though.
I don't follow comics (although I've tried once or twice), just watch the movies and play the games - but if you ask me for a Spider-man villain, I'll say Venom straight away. He's better than the vulture or doc oc.
Probably because he feels like he would be the main bad guy, Spider-mans powers but evil.
You know, ignoring galacticus or whatever

Why does the sorcerer Mickey figure look like he wants to punch you in the face? I mean is it necessary every character be loaded with "attitude"?
Because he is a wizard!

It is time, the girl hero we deserve and need right now.
Yes a million times.

We have at least;
Her horse
Firework canon
Chinese firework tower
Skybox
Ground textures
We need her already, she should be one of the easiest characters to adapt.
Though choosing a design for the figure would be hard as hell. do they go full warrior, recognizably Mulan or dressed up to fit in with the other princesses(please God no.)
I'm expecting Groot to be the best selling out of the Guardians.
If Rocket wasn't compatible with the Avengers play set, I'd agree with you.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Bob Iger must be really pleased with the above results; Disney's Interactive Segment was always a loss leader in Disney's quarterly report until Disney Infinity.

Long past it as far as I can see with my friends and their kids. Frozen had hella crossover success. It's pretty damn cool.
Really? That sucks.
Was hoping for at least one classic Disney property to get a playset.

Also watch out for the girl who comes up wanting it but Jeff throws it away to the side XD

Depends if those Annas were sold in the combo packs or individuals. That's basically the Wii Play+Wiimote scenario, Wii Play wouldn't have sold nearly as well on it's own & I think Anna had to be bundled with Elsa to sell as well.
Heh Venom has and most likely will always be my favorite Spiderman character tbh, but I tend to like the big characters in General. Same with Juggernaut in Xmen, Thing,Hulk etc.
I disagree with this, kids play has a lot yo do with imagination and I think the toy box provides that better then any of the playsets. My daughter generally doesn't like the playset levels but adores the toybox because her and I can pretty much do anything we want to.
We had to skip Disney land this year due to financials but we created our own in Disney Infintys toybox and had a blast.
It wouldn't even make sense really because how would a character like Elsa or Aladdin even work in something like the Cars playsets?

Posted in the other thread but we are confirmed to get 2 more Disney Originals and 2 more Marvel characters as well.
Game should launch with 1 extra playset themed to Toy Story that makes every character playable(since all the characters in Infinity are supposed to be the figures)

Imagination is key, but a problem many parents also faced was that there were not "targets" per se. Then coming from Skylanders were you can swap any figure at any time, but " no you can't use Mickey...nope, can't use Woody here" it was a relatively harder concept to grasp.
It is a nice way to play with as a virtual toy box with virtual toys at least. And seems to be a good point instead of throwing a bunch of toys around or create racetracks with random things, to create stuff in the game under the same concept.
There are workarounds for the playsets too. The game has cars that characters can drive so they could technically be used in a Cars playset. Heck one of the first things I did was have Mickey drive in Mike's car and the game recognizes that Lightning is a car so is not like you can have him driving a car. So Aladdin and Elsa can drive any car (Elsa can do it already since she's out there) and have the game programmed for them to stay in the car at all times.
There are Cars toys that can be used underwater and in the Cars 2 game, characters could even shoot missiles and electricity (things that doesn't happen in the movies)...the problem is that they seem to be quite strict on it.
Instead of creating something like a Wonderful World of Disney Playset developed with all that in mind and an anything goes kind of thing. And make a merged world/story ala Kingdom Hearts and Smash Bros. Skylanders had writers of Toy Story involved, so for Disney to do something similar with similar people involved wouldn't be impossible.
Not blame them, just sucks that for the most part the figures have no purpose other than to look nice. At least in Skylanders the action of swapping them is part of the game and enforced too.

Females love to play videogames like males do. I wish the traditional videogame industry had more females involved as it would probably result in more game variety
