NINTENDOwii Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 :biggrin:Wouldn't it be sooooo cool if they could be minimates based off rock bands My choice would be Blink 182 :biggrin: I mean we could have Travis w/drum sticks and a complete drum set(also with really good tatoo deatils) We could also have Mark and Tom with guitars and microphones w/stands! What band would you like to be minimated?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Absolutely! What I wouldn't give for some KISS Minimates! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blacksun1520 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Oh, and how about Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne ones !!!! BS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MisterPL Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have very little interest in the category but I'd feel obliged to pick up The Police as Minimates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBT! Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 very amusing guys... The prob with Rockmates is that there isn't really a market for them, yes different bands have fans but is there enough 182 fans that would actually buy toys based on the band to support a line? I dont think so. It's a shame as personally I'd love to see a 'JL & the Wurlies' line of minimates. T. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mav-man Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Have you guys ever seen smiti figures?....they are pretty cool, they made like 6 bands and then were suppose to do the smashing pumpkins, then all of a sudden nothing.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shanester Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 6 words............Flock of Seagulls in Minimate form! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NINTENDOwii Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 but is there enough 182 fans that would actually buy toys based on the band to support a line? T. Well I was thinking more of a boxset for the band There could be a posibility of doing a line w/only boxsets Oh yeah another band that I would like minimated is "Led Zepplin" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SymbioteSpawn Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Sabbath, Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, VAN HALEN (roth era) , van halen post roth era. Queen. those would all be great, and if they could make some like minimate stages would be cool.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I would get an Elvis Minimate, or Tom Waits (my musical hero). As much as I love a lot of musicians, I can't see buying action figures of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Child of the Atom Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Queen, KISS, Guns & Roses They would all be awesome sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Vox Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 U2. Bono with Fly Shades would be a sweet mini. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evenflow Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Guns N' Roses! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NINTENDOwii Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 yes all of the above plus LED ZEPPLIN-they rock! and plus 44 would be stellar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gillbob316 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Some of these ideas kinda suck... Of all the bands mentioned so far, I think KISS is the only one I would definately buy... MAYBE an Ozzy or a Rob Zombie, if done with a cool look... If they're gonna do this, they need bands with visual appeal, not just any random band that people enjoy listening too. (Which is probably why the ones I mentioned are the ones they've already made... I mean duh...) I mean Metallica? Blink 182? Good bands, but they make for sucky minimates... "This is our guys in T-Shirts holding guitars line..." Now a musical group I would drop a crapton of money for minimates of in a heartbeat (and I know you'll give me crap for this, but still, I say it)... The Spice Girls HUGE visual appeal there. They'd make awesome minimates. They're like living cartoon characters. I'm talking early... lameass Spice Girls, mind you. Before Ginger left, and they got all serious and boring. The hair and dress possibilities are near endless... what I wouldn't give for a British Flag dress for my minimates... or a good set of pigtails... :biggrin: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rheul Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Danzig! We'll need the rest of The Misfits too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cdubya Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Danzig! We'll need the rest of The Misfits too Oh Hell yes! I've actually been trying to piece together spare parts (with a minimum of sculpting. Reason #138 why I needed that Ghost Rider Movie wave to happen...that leather jacket for Jerry Only!) to customize the "original" Misfits. Great Danzig btw! Another visually-interesting band in mate-form would be GWAR. While I sincerely doubt that any of this would actually happen, it is fun to think about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Marty from BttF comes with a leather jacket. Need the guitars from the BttF minis too. Doyle should be pretty easy to pull off with Namor a little paint and a little epoxy sculpt. As for drummers I'd go with Mr. Jim the first drummer, because he works with a friend of mine and hes a hell of a nice guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shamrock Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 As somebody said, bands with visual appeal are a must. As much as I'm no fan of any of the "visual" bands I can think of, they would make good looking 'Mates. Slipknot in particular comes to mind. However, I think some of the biggest classics could work. Namely Elvis and the Beatles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
