EricM Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 These are nice. Really Aside from Veidt and Nite-Owl the rest are comic accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCDX97 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 These guys look pretty neat! The Kubricks that were made when the movie came out were pretty cool, too. I can't decide which I like better - I will have to buy these for a closer look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Really liking these was a bit meh whaen I saw manhatten as I thought a more shiney look would have been better but I realise they are prob prototypes so not that big a deal. On reading that manhatten will be a Glow In Dark figure tht puts aside an gripe I may have had. cant wait to see the two pack and will cross fingures for Golden age looks an the other characters if these go well.

DiFabio Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) I've wanted these since 2009. I remember being at Toys R Us getting the DC collectibles Rorschach and the T2: Judgment Day minimates and thinking "why aren't there Watchmen movie minimates". 8 years later and they finally come into fruition. I'll be getting them all. Thank you DST/Art Asylum. Nite Owl and Comedian in particular look fantastic. Please, please, please let this be the door that opens up to Burton/Keaton Batman and Donner/Reeve Superman WB/DC minimates. I've been waiting for DC movie minimates since 2005 when the Batman Begins C3 line got canned. I'd love a Reeve Superman, Hackman Luthor, Zod, Evil Superman, Clark Kent, '89 suit Keaton Batman, Bruce Wayne, all the variations of Jack Joker, Devito Penguin, Catwoman and the Returns suit Keaton Batman. They'd be so much better than those lousy Mezco Mez-itz things. They'd sell better too.  Fingers crossed, hopefully this is just the beginning, especially since WB is giving the '89 Batman license to a bunch of different companies as of late (Mezco, Jada toys, NJ Croce).

SCW Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I noticed the box set was listed at Lukes for $23.99, and I think they're normally listed for $18.99... Are these more expensive? MSRP gone up? Am I crazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these more expensive? MSRP gone up? Am I crazy? The price of four packs has gone up. They're a little more expensive to make(at least that's what I thought was said awhile back).

MisterPL Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Four-packs used to have a suggested retail price of $19.99. Last year it went up to $24.99, prompting DST to reevaluate which properties get 4-packs instead of ongoing series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Unfortunately for Luke and every other specialty retailer, the price for box sets has held steady at TRU at fifteen bucks, meaning there's now almost a ten dollar difference for any shared box sets.

DSTZach Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think you will see a change at TRU, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 TRU clearances these abominations at $14.98. I won't be shocked when they start charging a bit more for a far superior product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's refreshing to see that a Minimate fan can also like kubricks . Kubricks are no longer made & I am well-aware that some many of them were dreadful but I would never include the Watchmen in that category . I liked the Watchmen kubricks , I didn't like the way Medicom duped collectors into buying blind bagged versions first & then re-issuing them in box sets at ToysRUs a little while later !!! Who would do that ?    .....................& if we are comparing the kubricks to the Minimates ......which inevitably we will ........then the promo shots of the Minimate versions look very very similar....almost too similar .  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Well, they're from the same source, so they're bound to look similar. Our Doc Manhattan will glow, though! Edited February 1, 2017 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 has a Doc Manhattan Vinimate been confirmed? im not a huge fan of the vinimates but when they can sub in for a larger character for minimate lines i will probably buy them, ala Iron giant.

buttheadsmate Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Well............. there's a question !!  The suckers that bought the blind bag series were treated to a secret Dr.Manhattan........

I'd say between the Renee Montoya Question and Joe Fixit Hulk, the Question is pretty much covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
