cidman911 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 As much as a large scale Power Loader and Queen would be desired, I would prefer these two to be "in scale" with each other over other mates in the line. If we aren't going to get a Queen larger than a 2-inch base, I would be okay with a Power Loader made up like Phonics Buster Iron Man: large boot accessories, pincher hand pieces, a backpack/helmet "cage," and maybe some upper arm/leg pieces. Phoenix Buster Iron Man-style Power Loader works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 While that's a creative option, I truly hope it doesn't come down to that. I prefer to hope for the best rather than settle for facsimiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Buster Iron Man-style Power Loader works for me. If it goes that route I'm not interested. I'll understand that not everything is possible so I won't knock anyone over it, but I don't want something that isn't representative of the actual power loader. I want either a legitimate one or none at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Forgive me if this has been answered already, but has Zach said if DST has considered getting the Predator license? They would be an excellent companion to the Alien 'mates, and NECA has certainly proven that there's a lot of mileage in the Predator varieties. I want a Wasp Predator minimate.

cdubya Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Not recently, but I believe Chuck had mentioned wanting to persue the license in the past. It makes perfect sense to me. It's another cash-cow that always has a fan-base. And much like the Alien/s license, the only way fans could hope to get a full-cast (likeness-rights)!

TM2 Dinobot Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I want a Wasp Predator minimate. I googled that. I figured there'd be a Rule 34 Marvel Wasp and predator. I didn't know I'd find Wasp cosplaying AS a Predator. 0-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 From the last Ask DST: Joe D: Also excited for the Aliens movie minimates. Does this mean Predator is in our future too? DST Chuck: Nothing is signed, but it’s something we’d look at for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 That's not the first place I've seen the 12-figure dump case referred to as a "six-pack." Doesn't seem like much of a bargain at $72, does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) That's not the first place I've seen the 12-figure dump case referred to as a "six-pack." Doesn't seem like much of a bargain at $72, does it?That could definitely hurt the potential for sales, if people are finding out about this, but with totally inaccurate pricing. Most casual collectors are going to laugh at the apparent price and not think about these again. I wonder if the 6 is inferred because only 6 characters are shown (and they don't read the fine print to know there are multiple aliens included).

Shanester Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I think it is a matter of misunderstanding. Will it hurt? Likely, but I think most seasoned collectors scoff at "retail" (MSRP) pricing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I didn't see it in Rue Morgue or Fangoria either. Or in Screem or Outré magazines. Those're the only horror ones I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Spent a couple of hours and now I'm ready to get a Ripley Minimate The hands rotate and the shoulders and elbows can move. I originally had movable ankles and knees, but the movement didn't really show that much and the legs are sturdier without those joints. The Minimate's foot pads rotate and the rollcage can move (with some force) Edited March 23, 2014 by Shogi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
