Man, I wish they could bring these out. Perhaps on Fellowship's 10th anniversary or something, AA could renew the license and cap off the LOTR 'mates. Presumably they already have the molds & design work done...

Exactly. I've seen realistic action figures & goofy finger puppets of real people like Jane Austen, Sigmund Freud, Thurgood Marshall, etc. They were in a boutique-type toy store, you know the kind, they have expensive wooden toys, Playmobil, that sort of thing. Seems to me like a natural for minimates, and AA wouldn't have to pay a licensing fee. I'd love to have an Abraham Lincoln 'mate, especially after seeing The Amazing Screw-on Head.

Those are some great pics of the resin Galactica. I had this on preorder for awhile, but decided to give it up. I suspect sometime down the line we'll see a lighted version from Master Replicas or QmX. And, stealing sucks.

Hey folks, I've been lurking around for a few months and finally decided to take the plunge & sign up. My best minimate find was when I assembled a complete run of LOTR mates from various online stores for $60 including shipping! I'm currently dabbling in some Marvel mates, but what really drew me here was the discussion on the new BSG line - hence the avatar. In a perfect world, I'd like to see minimates for the following: LOST GI Joe Indiana Jones Back to the Future 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Plus, I think it'd be cool to see a line of real historical figures - Churchill, Archduke Ferdinand, Hannibal, Ben Franklin, etc.
