TM2 Dinobot Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I friggin love Allstar Batman. Never understood that rage for that. I'm much more inclined to hate Alan Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't hate Alan Moore as much as I hate his attitude. As for Miller, I didn't care for All Star Goddamn Batman, but I don't hate his previous work that I've enjoyed. But Alan Moore needs an editor who's unafraid to tell him that all of his genius ideas are still getting stuck in his head and not translating to the page as well as his holiness seems to think they are when he writes them. His recent work just oozes pompousness, as if it doesn't "click" for you it's the readers fault not the writers. Grant Morrison needs the same editor too, BTW.

MisterPL Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Can someone explain to me the Frank Miller hate? For me it was the unreadable "Dark Knight Strikes Back." His treatment for the Batman: Year One movie was also garbage. I didn't even bother with his work on All-Star based on all the negativity surrounding it, from the content to the blown deadlines. (Which Jim Lee takes a lot of credit for but Miller was blowing deadlines with "The Dark Knight Returns.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombie Shakespeare Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Maybe someone is messing with your mind, trying to make you think that you're crazy in order to get their hands on your substantial fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijames Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 They need to do Sin City minimates in color or else they aren't going to sell. Black and white is just boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Has it been stated whether these will be black and white like the movie was, or if they'll have normal color too? I know NECA did both with their line a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Has it been stated whether these will be black and white like the movie was, or if they'll have normal color too? I know NECA did both with their line a while back. That hadn't yet been decided when I asked Chuck at SDCC. Full-color, spot-color, or B/W, it was still up in the air. I think he mentioned they'd be a both TRU and Specialty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 So, when are we lower folk allowed to see what SDCC saw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijames Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 No black and white!!!!!!!!! I dont care about keeping the look of the source material, these are minimates and the glorious thing about minimates is that their parts are compatible with each other across 10 different licenses. I would be so irritated if they made a Brittany Murphy Shelley in the same outfit as her NECA figure and it was black and white, or anything but full color. The Walking Dead minimates are in color despite the comics being black and white, and they are BETTER because of it. Again, black and white = boring and incompatible.

hellpop Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Doesn't speak well for interest in Sin City Minimates, does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I just meant about the debate over color vs. black-and-white. I think we've gotten questions about the action figures we showed at SDCC (which was Hartigan in color AND black-and-white), and I'm sure we'll get more Minimates questions once we do more than hang a banner on the back of the booth and show some control art in a panel. We haven't even showed a protoype yet! I'm just encouraging people to share their thoughts with people who are in a position to do something about it. I know people are sad when Chuck won't commit to making X character, or gives a vague response, but he reads every single letter, and he notesif a question has been asked before. So if people have opinions about how a line should be done, a letter to the president of DST BEFORE prototypes are shown and solicited in one format or the other might not be the worst idea, especially when arguments could be made for both sides. That said, I believe we've already decided how to go forward with color and black-and-white, and hopefully it makes everyone happy. (It won't.) Sorry to intrude.

The Walking Dead minimates are in color despite the comics being black and white, and they are BETTER because of it. Again, black and white = boring and incompatible. Well, they'd be compatible with Lost in Space, Clerks, and Universal monsters! And don't forget that the movie was entirely in black-and-white (with the spot colors from the comic), and even the comic was largely printed with black-and-white covers. (Big Fat Kill and Hell and Back had color covers on the issues, as did the Family Values book, but the newer collection covers are black-and-white.) Meanwhile, the covers to the Walking Dead comics are all in color, as is the TV show that helped make the TWD Minimates line a reality and undoubtedly helps its sales. So it's not exactly apples and apples. BUT we will definitely be making both color and black-and-white. Not sure if Shelley will make it in to either format, but Ask DST! Sorry to intrude.

DSTZach Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Oh, by the way, you may want to move this thread. This is not a comic-based line. It is movie-based. Our deal is with Miramax. We're working with them on Pulp Fiction, Kevin Smith, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
