Hello there, big Minimate fan since the very beginning, I see you are making Minimates of “The Spirit”. Now I can understand the movie line but you are doing a comic book box-set too. I thought Spirit was owned by DC, does this mean you have gotten the go-ahead on any more DC minimates, if so we need some Watchmen badly.
DSTChuck: All the Spirit licensing both comic and movie were handled by the movie studio, so they have nothing to do with DC, sorry."
