 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: three words: Marvel Versus Capcom. Also Deadpool when he finally got released.
 * Possibly Kang the Conqueror if he comes out.
 * Archive Panic: A common reaction from many a new collector.
 * Berserk Button / Dead Horse Trope: The Too Good to Last and Vaporware examples have become this to both the fandom and the Word of God.

 * Memetic Mutation: Kang the Conqueror (specifically, the lack thereof) to the fandom. Even Word of God likes to play around with this.

 * a Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose Minimate is in the works. Kind of.
 * Periphery Demographic: one theory behind the surprise popularity of the Desperately Seeking Susan Minimates.
 * It's the Same, Now It Sucks: when an early-wave character gets reissued with not enough detail.
 * Too Good to Last: Street Fighter II only lasted one wave, while DC Comics was aborted twice.
 * Vaporware
