Thank you Limited Edition, your generosity is UNlimited! See what I did there? With the... limiting... of the, uh, edition.... never mind.

So for those who are finding these, in what part of the store are they being stocked? I tried my local TRU today (Cary, NC) and found nothing in the Marvel/DC/Dark Knight aisle. Should I be looking elsewhere?

Wow wow wow wow wow, I'm gone from my computer for the Thanksgiving holidays, and I come back to brand new Minimates on store shelves! And I thought my Xmas shopping was all done. So just to clarify, the Iron Man 2-pack gives us 2 all new figures, while the rest of the packs give us minor repaints or repacks of existing figures. I ask because I'm a loose collector, and since I don't bother about tracking down minor repaints, I'll just need to grab the Iron Man pack, yes?

Dialogue usually comes from the center speaker. I'd recommend increasing the volume of the center. Ideally (for surround sound listening) the volume should be equal across all speakers, and all speakers should be about the same size. However, individual room acoustics can throw that out the window. Are your L and R speakers significantly larger than your center?

KBtoys.com has most of the Indiana Jones Muggs for sale at 7 bucks a pop, PLUS free shipping, if anyone's interested. Linkness.

Dude, that looks brand new! Has it even been opened? I never had any of the vintage Indy toys, but I'm remedying that by getting all the new Hasbro ones - except I refuse to buy anything from Crystal Skull.

The new trailer is sweet. http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/watchmen.html?showVideo=1 Anyone know what song that is? I dig it.

OMG... Terminator Minimates... I'm in the process of fainting.

All great suggestions, thank you! Can't believe I didn't think of the Daily Planet!

We do have a thread dedicated to release queries: http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...80&start=80

There's plenty of hard-core comic geeks here, so let me pick your brains. What are the most iconic, significant, and recognizable buildings or environments of the Marvel and DC universes? I'm more of a casual comic fan, so this is what comes to my mind first: Xavier's Mansion / School for Gifted Mutants Baxter Building Wayne Manor / Batcave Hall of Justice I ask because I'm contemplating making some environments for my Minimates to populate. Thanks!

Yep, found that site yesterday. I'll do everything I can to get something from the show.

Most anticipated, yet canceled. Most frustratingly under-articulated, due to bulky accessories. Best & worst packaging. Best Iron Man of '08 (face it, there's a LOT of them).

There's definitely a need to redo Dr. Octopus and Green Goblin. After that, I'd love an Excalibur focus, including Captain Britain, Meggan, a redo of Shadowcat with a Lockheed accessory, and Phoenix in her Excalibur bondage look. Beyond that, I'd want SHIELD Agents, and anyone else they make, I'll buy!

Blacksun is right, this needs to be the beginning of a series! Great stuff!

Zartan did change color, but not from exposure to heat - it was from exposure to sunlight! I had the 'me as a Joe' figure, it was called Steel Brigade. The figure itself was mostly a kitbash of other figures, and they cleverly had no exposed skin, so that any nationality could be represented. It came with a Steel Brigade patch and a dot matrix computer printout (ah, those were the days) of some customized file card type info. Mine never came with a record. I sold it years ago, but now I wish I hadn't. I think the figures themselves are easy to find, but I doubt I'll ever be able to track down that filecard printout.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, about that thing about no henchmen. I'm betting that's 'more of a guideline than a rule', to quote Dr. Venkman. I figure if my video is good enough, they won't be strictly anti-henchmen. Besides, isn't Evil founded in the idea that we should break the rules? :biggrin:

I tried to find a thread for Dr. Horrible, but I guess we never made one? Anyway, if you're not hip to the Dr. Horrible jive, check this out first. It runs about 40 minutes. http://www.drhorrible.com/ Back? Awesome. Now we may discuss its greatness at length. So for the upcoming DVD release, they're going to include fan-made video applications for new members to the Evil League of Evil. More info here: http://evilleagueofevil.com/ Well I found myself with a creative streak one afternoon, and threw this together. Who knows, if the Powers That Be like it, I may end up on the DVD! Check it out, I hope you like it!

Very excited for this. The only thing that throws me is the pic of the bridge. I can't figure out if Kirk's chair is still in the center, as from this angle, it looks like Uhura's station is in the center. Weird! Also, the style of the tech is like an Apple fanboy's wet dream - even more so than the space station from Wall-E!

This news makes me sad. I like both actors, maybe I even like Don Cheadle more, but I really don't like recasting in sequels.

Here's what I don't get. At the beginning of season 3, Future Peter came back from a time where Supers are persecuted, and Claire was bad and tried to kill him (with bullets?). Then Peter came back and changed the past (our present), and now his future is one in which nearly everybody has powers. BUT, Claire is STILL evil, wears exactly the same thing, and still wants to kill Peter - again, with a gun, despite the fact that Peter has Claire's healing power. Sorry, friends, but I'm about one more episode away from giving up on this show. There's just so much random stuff going on - Parkman on multiple spirit walks, ghost Linderman, Mohinder stupidly injecting himself with the formula. For that matter, why does the super-powerful Company decide, hey, we have this horrible formula that if released could bring about the end of humanity and the earth, so let's write it down, tear it in two, and hide the pieces? What kind of organization works like this??? I'm giving it one more episode. I really want to know their justification for why bringing back Adam is the 'key' to solving the fact that the formula is in enemy hands.

At first, I was going to put together a LOST set, but there's too many characters to choose from. So with only 5 slots open, I'll go with: DR. HORRIBLE'S SING ALONG BLOG! Characters are: Dr. Horrible in white lab coat Captain Hammer Penny Moist .... and Bad Horse, so we can finally have a Minimate horse! Accessories include: case of wonderflonium laundry basket frozen yogurt death ray gun freeze ray gun A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, after all...

Speedball!

That's good to know, but information about release dates goes in an existing, dedicated, pinned thread: http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...60&start=60 Thanks for letting us know!

Anyone notice that the womens' lips have a stipple pattern on them? Kind of reminiscent of pulp/newspaper printing techniques.
