cdubya Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I was not aware of a running change on the top hat, I'll ask about it. I thought it was some kind of mold-release agent, because it comes off when you touch it. It looks nice in the package, but a single swipe with your finger and it's off. ...and then the damn kids are flying around the livingroom. Careful with those happy thoughts, folks!

Shanester Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The powder is much better than the liquid. It enters the blood stream much faster than the liquid and yet lasts longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 So I picked up an extra set of these to use as fodder, and I decided to use Tinkerbell to make my daughter her first custom: Those of you without little girls won't recognize her, but that's Periwinkle, who is somehow Tinkerbell's sister (I don't know the particulars). She's a pretty simple formula: Quicksilver's hair, the legs from Peter Pan's John, and a little blue paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Nice custom! If the fairy dust comes of with a wipe, then it must be a factory-added bit of magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Next spring Disney is releasing Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy on home video. That might be a nice follow-up to the Peter Pan set and a way to test the girls' market. Also, if you watch the trailer, the modular Minimates play pattern fits the "Freaky Friday" theme of the movie perfectly. (Get on that, Oat!)

TM2 Dinobot Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'd like to see Minimates break into the girls market! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkRedShadow Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Sorry if anyone answered this already, but did anyone see these sets in Canada? They ship here, but the price of shipping is killer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Well, for those of you that waited to not pay full price to get these...and then waited when they were $9.99...your time is now since they are all $4.99 now. This really makes me curious how many of these Disney ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Wow...I'm holding out for the 99 cent sale! I wonder if 3-5 years from now, people will be posting "Remember when those were selling for $5" like they currently do with the Western sets...

hellpop Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Damn. Glad I didn't pick up too many extras yet. It does seem as if all the Peter Pan stuff has been discounted; I don't think any of it sold very well at all. And Disney is usually pretty good about clearancing things and not letting them hang around. You can get old Pops for $2-3, and they are still making more of those. So I don't think we should panic yet and assume these were a disaster and that we won't be getting any more Disney Minimates. It's nice to have such cheap custom fodder out there, though, particularly with the new short arms and legs. I already used my sets to make a set of customs that I'll be showing off shortly. And there's some other cool unique pieces there. I used the feet from the Lost Boy in the bunny suit to upgrade my Usagi Yojimbo, and the skunk's tail is perfect for Hezbollah of the Starjammers. And, with a little brown paint, might do nicely as a squirrel's tail.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkRedShadow Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 As a follow up to my last post, these sets are all available in Canada {atleast here in Ontario} although it's a 1 dollar up charge {$5.99} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minijeff Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Holy crap! I need to source out someone to hook me up with a couple sets of these. My kids camp is having a mini-Free Comic Book Day and I think these would make awesome door prizes since they will appeal to all ranges of kids at the camp not just the boys who already are asking if I have extra Minimates to bring to camp for them! If anyone here is stocking up and would mind helping me out with this please let me know!

hellpop Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 So I took an early lunch and headed down to my Disney Store... I bought 2 extra sets each of the box sets, and one of the boat. I really don't want another boat, but I need Wendy's head for a custom, and I don't want to steal my daughter's (my daughter's Wendy's head, I should clarify). Anybody want another boat? I'll trade for a figure. BTW, Jeff, I can probably help you out. PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
