  1. I just hope people here are still as generous as they used to be. Anyone remember when I came across a full case of these and hooked up some people on here since they were almost impossible to find unless you wanted to pay 3 times the cost on Ebay? I charged what I paid for them and didn't even charge shipping. Finding those all just sitting on a shelf collecting dust was probably the best minimate score I ever had.

    Man talk about nostalgia.

    One of my first memories of this board was hooking Shanester up with a Mara Jade bust from Gencon. In turn, he sent me that sent along with 10 or so more minimates, really giving my collection a jump start.

    It's wild to see so many familiar faces hanging around the place still, like a home that's always there.

  2. That mansion (*Any resemblance to an actual mansion is purely coincidental - gold!) id wonderful, but i am absolutely in LOVE with the Large Rooftop Diorama. That is truly a thing of beauty! Amazing work, luke. I WILL be getting that rooftop!

    Where did you see the pictures? I didn't see in the thread. I bet I stupided...

  3. I forget to mention something here. While your minimates are great, I really like the way you manipulated the original paintings. I think the effect is most recognizable in Munch's Scream. There's only the couple left standing on the bridge. That's really great work!

    Thanks! I think the Mona Lisa is going to be very challenging in this regard. :)

    This seems very conveniently timed...

  4. well the prototypes we saw, the gorilla, iguana, rhino, gator and octopus were not based on the minimate design at all. Though, they were very much homages of the original battle beasts, except any indication of fire/wood/water.

    I think they are debating the right way to do it.

    Maybe there is a debate to do smaller figures with random elements. Or larger figures that either have no elements or its set every time. Or maybe they can't do rubsigns and so on. So, they're in development hell.

    The stuff I've seen, be it a minimate style or a bigger figure, I'd get either. Though I'd love it if they could incorporate the elements, rubsigns aren't necessary for that.

    What gorilla, iguana, rhino, or octopus?

  5. Gonna bring this thing back, because I haven't posted in a year and a half in it, and my tastes have changed a bit!

    I've been on a serious Radiohead kick lately.

  6. I've been playing on Normal with the regular controls, and finally beat my first set with Dante's ending (team was Dante, Trish, and Doctor Doom, all in red). That team...was what came of replacing throughout the "You Lose" screens. :lol:

    I've been listening to all of the Voices...they nailed the perfect Deadpool. Annoying, obnoxious, and the phrases are brilliant.

    Also...everyone knows there are three costumes for each character right now, right? Just checking haha. LOTS of new options for Minimates (Wesker in White would be great)

    There are four actually, right bumper is one. (On 360 of course)

  7. I am sure I am the only one, but I wish they would add a sense of continuity by reusing some of the old parts from SFII. Ruy's gloves are the same, so that makes me happy.

    Actually they're new parts, you can see it on the control art.

    As far as I can tell, Magneto looks to be made up of the exact same parts as the very recent TRU Magneto.

    My personal opinion of the TRU release was that it was an amazing mate with the exception of the ridiculous amount of shine. That, for me, ruined the figure completely.

    I could argue that if we're going to get rehashes of previously released characters, we could at least get new sculpts. However, we are getting a lot of new pieces with several other characters - and from a business standpoint, the more parts reuses they can work in, the better.

    That being said, if this new Magneto is non-metallic, then that would be a massive plus, imo.

    Again to break bad-but-seemingly-there news, the art says they're using metallic red and purple.
