Lobsterman Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Those Geisha sleeve cuffs would work great for a classic Mockingbird custom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 They would work even better on an officially produced Mockingbird. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 DST really went overboard with the sculpted pieces on this line.Not that it's a bad thing.I love everything i've seen so far.I really hope this line does well and we'll see more video game licences down the road.Mass Effect,Elder Scrolls,Gears of War.....

DSTZach Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just finished the game. So, spoilers ahead regarding the Minimates. I assume the 2 REDACTED characters in that picture are the giant Oni and Himiko the Sun Queen? Also, The 2 TRU exclusives are army builders, 1 set we know for sure is Scavengers (Solarii), so I would assume the other set will be Oni samurai? I would like to see more of Lara's crew in Minimate form, especially Sam, Jonah, Grim and Reyes. Lara has quite the arsenal at the end of the game, I hope we get extra weapons for her! BTW Zach, I think there is a typo in the info on the website, the priest's name should be Mathias, not Malik. Not a typo, that was the original name for the character. Licensor didn't tell us, and didn't catch it in the press release. Will fix on packaging.

FYI, "overboard" is automatically a bad thing. It implies we have fallen off the boat. I think you meant "above and beyond." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have to learn the distinction of said phrases.Thanks for the correction!I hope more series are planned and it's not a one and done deal.The thing with video game properties is that they allow for more "realistic" figures.

I think we're looking at making more, we'll see. And we have some movie lines in the pipeline that will deliver a similar level of detail.

Kostisfire Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Awesome! The more detail the merrier!For me that's one of the best things about minimates.They are small but they have tons of detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hmmm...not sure I was. That isn't the GIANT Oni like I thought it was, so maybe that will be in the TRU assortment? And that is Himiko, but she was seen so briefly in the game that I remember her looking slightly different (demon face) . Oh, and we better be getting a Silver Samurai out of this sculpting!!!

TM2 Dinobot Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like that's the general. And didn't Himiko have a mask that cracked to reveal... that underneath? When was she ever human looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was she ever human looking?Good point, it all happened so fast, it was a mask. Maybe that is supposed to be Sam? But her ritual dress looked completely different.

youbastards Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Found the final battle video , if you plan on playing this game, don't watch the video.After rewatching that scene, I don't think it was a mask after all, Dino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I thought it was a mask when i was playing it, too. Or mask-like. It peels off really quick. Oh, and the sleeves aren't new. Classic BSG villains set!! Love Himiko and the general (i too expected the Oni). Really great wave; i'm hoping we get some more supporting cast like Alex and Whitman, i'd rather have them than "two face" up there. Oh, and Mathias needs his sawblade staff; that thing is sweet.

Confirmation of a Space: Above and Beyond line! Yes!! j/k Seriously, these mates are incredible! Personally, I like these far better than any of the Tekken or Street Fighter mates! And Zach, when you mention more movie lines with this level of detail, you're referring to licenses that have yet to be revealed, right?

Mystery Man Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like YB was right. Not that I doubted him. Top row, figure at far left and 3rd from left look like alot of fun. I can especially see myself getting a few of that samurai-lookin' cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Zach, I actually just bought that and When Harry Met Sally on bluray a few weeks back. My wife's contribution was V for Vendetta, somehow that feels a little backwards doesn't it? Been out of the loop, are these at LCBS or TRU or both?

MisterPL Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm not really into video games. I've never played Tomb Raider and don't intend to. I've seen both movies and that's about the extent of my interest. With the exception of these Minimates. These things just look like a lot of fun. I planned on picking up Lara but after seeing the level of detail on the rest of the figures, I want them all. (Damn. It's Halo all over again!)

DSTZach Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 This is the specialty assortment. The Lara sets (with the scavengers) are shared. I gotta check on the status of the TRU figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'll be getting at least the regular Lara. Not sure of the others yet. I'll have to see them in person or see some tray shots before I decide if I really need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which ones are the scavengers? Other than Laura, I don't know any of these character's names. Can we see pics of the TRU wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Scvangers are upper right and middle upper left. Two Face and dude with shield, who I'm assuming the extra parts com off to reveal another scvanger underneath. Awesome. Which means that the last two are Roth/Oni General and Mathias/Himiko, or visa versa. Might want to pack Himiko and Roth together though, as I, unfortunately, see Himiko as the peg warmer. She's like Mariko. Who, honestly, is a great mate and doesn't get enough love. I'm looking forward to displaying the upcoming yukata Wolverine with her.
