Each 2-inch Minimates mini-figure features 14 points of articulation as well as fully interchangeable parts and accessories. Plus, you get a bonus micro-figure of Papa Elf! The set comes packaged on a full-color blister card. In Shops: Nov 29, 2017 SRP: $24.99 Edited May 24, 2017 by JeffBohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Adorable. I can't wait to see what license DST gets for Valentine's Day. Fifty Shades? How much articulation does Papa Elf have, if any? Any chance of getting a set of 2-inch Minimates of the elves and Miles Finch to go with the Buddy Vinimate? I'd love a Peter Dinklage figure.

DSTZach Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Papa Elf has no articulation. Same as Berbils, Rocket V1, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This set looks pretty great, especially classic Santa. I think Papa Elf looks too small, but I guess there was nonother way to release him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I've been wanting a good regular Santa Minimate. Looks like I'm getting one from this set. Also, James Caan Minimate FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 These look great! I'd love to see some other figures down the line like Michael, Miles Finch, Gimbles Manager, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Were Vacation Minimates ever solicited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I don't think we've ever showed any. I know the glassware and the bank have not done as well, so we may be biding our time with any hypothetical Minimates. I think designs exist, maybe.

shadeone Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 PLEASE do Vacation!! Glassware and other stuff haven't done well, because its well... glassware. People dont collect glassware as much as they do figural representations of the actual characters from movies and tv. I can promise you with the right promotion, Vacation minimates WILL sell. Greenlight Collectibles released a miniature version of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster that is absolutely awesome and probably responsible for a nice chunk of change for them.

I never said people collect glassware. People BUY glassware. There is glassware in every house. A fraction of those buy toys. A fraction of THOSE buy Minimates. More Vacation fans are likely to buy a glass than a Minimate. And the glasses are selling, I see them move at shows, and we think the bank will do well in stores, although initial orders were iffy. And making Minimates requires a MUCH bigger production run than glassware or a bank. It's a bigger commitment, even with no new tooling, and far more vulnerable if low retailer orders come in.
