MINI_MYTE Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is this gonna be a Secret Stash store exclusive? Kevin's lost a lot of weight. Where's that bald spot? Bryan seems to have gone on a diet too. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Kind of weird that there's five. Five pack? Three two packs with a double? Single releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The box set is tangentially related to an existing license, and may have more than four Minimates in it. Bryan seems to have gone on a diet too. LOL. Blame the necessities of part-reuse, I'll give DST a pass on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Cool. Nice to see some variety to the releases outside the standard two pack/four pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It's one of two 'reality' shows AMC did not cancel. These guys and Talking Dead are it. So, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hellpop doesn't get it. I don't, actually. Even if Kevin Smith didn't give me hives, I'd still think this is an odd choice. Is Smith's dwindling fan base that devoted? The box office for Tusk would suggest otherwise. I know the ratings for this show are fine, but they are not phenomenal. But... whatever. I don't like the guy, I hate his work, and I've certainly made that clear. I won't beat the dead horse any more after this post. I hope that this relationship with Kevin Smith is bringing in new Minimate collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceSimba Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 No accessories for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Not sure about accessories. Have to tweak pricing already due to it being a five-pack, and that blister gets full, but I have not seen the art for it. And yes, it's a popular show. He's a popular guy. With a popular podcast. If anyone has been to any of this group's panel appearances at any convention, anywhere, any time in the last few years... they're popular. Hellpop can't get everything.

MisterMiracle Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Are we breaking into Reality TV now? I'm officially guessing Pawn Stars as the next "big" license. Edited January 17, 2015 by MisterMiracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I don't see this as breaking into reality TV as much as simply extending the current agreement with View Askew. Besides, what we really need are game show Minimates. A classic 4-pack of Bob Barker, Alex Trebek, Pat Sajak, and Richard Dawson would fly off the shelves.

Minimatetastic Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Are we breaking into Reality TV now? I'm officially guessing Pawn Stars as the next "big" license. We already had Chef Duff. So really, this is nothing new. If anything, it makes more sense to me than Duff because of the Jay and Silent Bob stuff they've been doing.

cylonchaney Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I would actually buy a Chumlee minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Chef Duff is a thing? I thought it was just some made-up character. Interesting.

A classic 4-pack of Bob Barker, Alex Trebek, Pat Sajak, and Richard Dawson would fly off the shelves. I'm on board as long as Bob's 18 inch microphone is included.

Mnemosis Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Hey o! I, personally, would rather have Chuck Woolery then Richard Dawson. he could come with a peace sign hand for his signature "we'll be back in two and two" motion Or, keep both, and move Sajak to a supplementary two pack with Vanna Edited January 17, 2015 by Mnemosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If ever there is going to be a definitive 'History of Minimates' then the release of Chef Duff minimates would be classed IMFHO as a turning point . I hated everything about them from the moment they were announced yet now they'll be the last Minimates I'll ever trade away. -butthead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
