Lobsterman Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Action bases... Like the flight stands that came with Peter Pan or Viewtiful Joe, right? Luke, please stock up on these. Not all the same, but I believe that one is in there.Ah, so it's like an assortment of stands like the IM flight base and the backflip stand? That's a cool idea.

Zexion_Armando Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I wonder if the effect stands that came with Human Torch/Dr. Strange will be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Cannonball's blast effect would be welcome too EDIT: I actually wouldn't mind seeing the little dash effect/stand that came with Mike Haggar too actually.

kaipo Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 its pretty much a win-win, literally a 100% parts reuse "set". it would be cool if they came with an exclusive blank too (like the carrying cases) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 They could include a General Custer minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the stands would automatically be needed for the new Minimate, essentially making it a bag of 23 not 24, and scalpers would sit on huge quantities (mint in bag, of course), waiting for the price on the exclusive to go up. Meanwhile, other Minimates will go standless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDestro Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well here's a question for Zach about sdcc. Knowing that we have to wait a bit for the exclusives to be revealed, are you going to be giving out free minimates everyday like the past years and can you tell us what they are? Or do we have to wait on that also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I know you guys work really hard to come-up with cool Promo's and giveaways for the con, but if you are ever running short on time or budget.... I would almost always be up for more blanks in colours to compliment previous releases Translucent Purple, Pink, Yellow etc.. or maybe even some Metallic ones. Or even just plain solid colours. We haven't seen any orange/grey/pink/purple coloured blanks before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So, now that we know what a lot of other companies are offering as SDCC exclusives this year, shouldn't we be hearing about the minimates exclusives any day now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTHING! Does exclusion of a Minimate corrupt something? Frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Gotta think/hope we'll hear something this week. Surprisingly, Hasbro also hasn't announced all of their exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDestro Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I know right? I can't wait. It would be great to know the sooner, the better so I know how much money I should budget for! Burning holes in my pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) I would love to see more translucent promos, but at the same time I would be immensely saddened by the fact that I can't go to SDCC and would need to get a few of whatever blanks popped up. Still, would be cool though and I can't wait to see what's coming up. Edited June 3, 2013 by The Geohound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Look for info mid-month. And I believe the TTFC founder is entitled to a certain number of any translucent Minimate produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 This year is the 50th anniversary of the X-Men.... i don't know if that will factor into the exclusives offered or not. It didn't seem to with last years anniversary of Spider-Man, but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
