CBMM1 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Hello Everyone,I have been a member on here for over two years now, and I finally decided to formally introduce myself.My Minimate addiction started when I was much younger. I was an avid collector of 6" Spider-Man figures but had limited knowledge of the comics they came from. One day my family took a day trip to Monterey, CA and we happened upon a comic book store. In a store filled with brightly colored toys and collectibles, one display caught my eye: A beam in the middle of the store stocked full with shelves of Marvel Minimates. It was around the time of the earlier waves and box sets. I snatched up as many as my parents would let me get, and eagerly anticipated our next trip back (Being young and naïve, I didn't get the concept that there were other comic shops closer to home). Every time we went back, I bought more, and thus began the addiction.I loved Minimates because they had all of my favorite Spidey heroes and villains, and my parents loved them because they were small and cheap. I attribute my wider knowledge of MARVEL and comics in general to the variety of Minimates that I have purchased over the years. As I have grown older, my interest and appreciation of the line has expanded, and I love the different licenses that Minimates encompass. (I am having trouble finding space for all of them)I joined the Multiverse in 2012, yet I haven't posted much. I find that my life is so busy that I barely even have time to lurk anymore. As summer approaches, I anticipate that I will have extra time on my hands. I look forward to getting into more conversations with you fine folks.See you in the Forums,CBMM1 Edited May 21, 2014 by CBMM1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
