pickle Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I thought I would start a thread about what the most likely minimates will be made from the deal where DST can make minimates on anything from MGM's library (or so i have been lead to believe). so, what do you think........ me? well, i can see them doing some Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

MiniFiend UK Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I think MGM owns Robocop and that to me would make a nice box set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Spaceballs MiniMates would be a great jab at the lack of a Star Wars license. I'd buy 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 If I could make wishes a reality, then I would create Minimates based on the following MGM/MGM-owned characters (they could be mixed together. . .I think that releasing just the best characters would sell better than individual sets for individual movies): The Pink Panther-Inspector Clouseau POLTERGEIST-Carol Anne and that creepy short, fat, psychic lady Robocop-Robocop and the evil dad from That 70s Show Misery-Kathy Bates w/sledge hammer The Silence of the Lambs-Hannibal the Cannibal w/liver and wine The Usual Suspects-McManus (Gabriel Byrne), Stephen Baldwin and Verbal Kent (Kevin Spacey) Fargo-this one should get its own set, with Francis McDormand, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare and William H. Macy Singing in the Rain-Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds North by Northwest (!)-Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint the Americanization of Emily (!!!!!--one of my all time favorite movies)-should get its own set with James Garner, Julie Andrews, and James Coburn the Dirty Dozen-Lee Marvinmate 1, Telly Savalas, Charles Bronson, and John Cassavetes Point Blank (!!!)-Lee Marvinmate 2! Network-William Holden, Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 A Lecter/Starling two pack. Fly back to school now little Starling. Fly Fly Fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omendreamer Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 There are so many iconic and recognizable movies on this list...I think that since they are making For a Few Dollars More minimates they will not necessarily stay in the sci-fi genre. Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind have the most general memorabilia crap (not to be offensive but the amount of ceramic stuff I have seen for sale in thrift stores and Hollywood tourist traps boggles the mind) and have some very recognizable characters-might be fun. And I am in total support of the Lector/Clarice pack-with liver and Chianti of course. Brains are also acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorVonDoom Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Actually, MGM no longer owns Gone With the Wind and Wizard of Oz. A lot of their catalogue was purchased by Warner Brothers a couple of years ago, in fact, I think almost all of their classic stuff is now in WB's hands.

cdubya Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 You left out "Escape From New York" ('81). Another unlikely MGM gem, though I never would have imagined that we'd get "For A Few Dollars More" 'mates. I'd love to see: Snake Plissken/ Cabbie Brain/ Maggie Duke/ Romero Hauk/ President and as an exclusive (or variant) "arena" Snake (shirtless w/ cobra tattoo) / Slag(?) (the bald, bearded arena monster). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Although Escape from NY and Bond would be my most wanted from MGM, The Silence of the Lambs would be cool. I can only imagine the accessories Buffalo Bill would come with! A moth, skin lotion, lipstick, an open robe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 MGM owns The Princess Bride. Just watched it today, and had forgotten what a great movie it is. I think DST could easily squeeze two four-packs out of that movie, but I would be immensely happy with: Westley as the Dread Pirate Roberts (with removable mask, a la Iron Fist, of course) Inigo Buttercup and... wait for it... 3" Fezzik! Come on, DST, don't make me start on these customs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, DST, don't make me start on these customs... Another MGM classic. I was just thinking this the other day while sorting my dvds and taking particular notice to any MGM titles I had. The "dread pirate" Westley would also make a good base for a Zorro custom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, DST, don't make me start on these customs... Well, the Princess Bride should be a single wave of figures. No variants: Buttercup/Dread Pirate Westley with variant Sulu's sword and hand, Fezzik/Inigo with same accesories as before, Humperdink/Count Rugen still same accesories, Vizzini/Max with bellows and wine Inconceivable you say? Well, maybe but it could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.p.d. Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 What about Bill and Ted mates w/ Rufus, Grim reaper and a phone booth!!!! That was an orion flick so they may own it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
