ZandarsDen Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 so with all of the Movie Mates running around (or soon to be)...how about some Blade Runner mates. Now that would be a cool 4 pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I'm sold. I think DST could get at least two sets out of that property. (They've already done Edward James Olmos once.) And a Spinner would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 with that Harrison Ford head we would all be one step closer to having Star Wars minimates, or Indian Jones. or if you are really die hard Tom Clancy fan Jack Rayn from clear and present danger, and patriot games !

ZandarsDen Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Forgot about the Spinner... but seriously a Deckard and Roy 2 pack would be killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Forgot about the Spinner... Hey, if Speed Racer and Racer X can get cars, so can Rick Deckard. Nice excuse for a variant figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Sign me up for that! There are so many great movies that I would love to see minimates of and this is definitely one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZandarsDen Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 hmmm... a Ridley Scott series of Mate 4 packs would be interesting. Gladiator anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I've been putting Bladerunner on Minimate want lists for years.... heck I even did this guy way back in 05... http://www.geocities.com/thatbloketimbo/Deckard.jpg Deckard Roy Pris Rachael Tyrell Would be my choice for a 5 pack T.

Mystery Man Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 A good Harrison Ford head for an Indy? Heck yeah. Plus, I really like the movie... so I'd buy more than just a Harrison Ford figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I've been putting Bladerunner on Minimate want lists for years.... heck I even did this guy way back in 05... http://www.geocities.com/thatbloketimbo/Deckard.jpg Deckard Roy Pris Rachael Tyrell Would be my choice for a 5 pack T. Me too!! I remember that custom well, it inspired me to work on some customs myself (although I really needed those long-coats from the Ghost Rider moviemates!). Blade Runner is by far my favorite film of all time! I believe that Warner Bros. now owns the rights to the film, so at least now merchandising shouldn't be the impossibility that it was a few years back (still waiting for that "deluxe boxset with original theatrical release" though!). My choices would be: Deckard/ Roy Pris/ J.F. Sebastian Zhora/ Leon Rachel/ Tyrell Gaff/ Chew and "Final showdown" exclusive: Battle-damaged Deckard/ BD Roy (in bike shorts) If a Spinner were possible, then perhaps rearrange the asst.s and package it with Gaff or Chief O'brien. That should about cover it! Make it happen DST, the lack of "officially licensed" BR (one of the best sci-fi films ever) merchandise is tragic!

And a Spinner would be nice. Not to mention that a "modified" Spinner was featured in "Back to the Future II" ('lil bit 'o trivia for ya!). See DST, cross-overs abound!

TITAN Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Blade Runner is my favourite film of all time . I would be extremely happy if DST announced these. And damn you all for making me think of the possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Listening to the speculation in certain other threads I decided we might need this one again soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I would love me some Blade Runner Minimates. Think they might also be strong enough to attract new customers to Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I'd love Blade Runner mates as well. Great movie that deserves some mate love. Def would buy at least 2 additional Fords for Indy and Han customs. Got a pair of Admiral Kirks pants just waiting to be used for ANH Han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 As far as movie-mates go, these would have the potential to be a bit more interesting than some others. Deckard has a colorful shirt and big, wacky jacket, Batty has a fancy leather coat, and the doll Pris is very exotic and colorful. Zhora could also make for an interesting Minimate. Clear plastic coat and giant snake, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Unfortunately, Blade Runner merchandising rights are a huge mess, one of the reasons there is very little "official" product produced based on the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Well, we did get this: http://www.itcamefromjapan.com/Blade-Runner-Collectors-Box-with-Blu-Ray-and-Spinner-Car-Medicom_p_27.html and it seems that likeness issues have little to do with Minimates (Eastwood and M.J. Fox have really only had licensed figures via Minimates). Edited June 4, 2012 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yeah, that Spinner is one of a few very rare releases aside from the film itself, but I believe the majority of product produced for Blade Runner has been released overseas. Sideshow has been trying to get the license to make BR product for the last decade, it just hasn't happened. Likeness issues weren't the problem, there was an ongoing lawsuit against Warner Bros. for several years from one of production studios. I'm pretty sure that was all settled last year though, and with the planned Ridley Scott sequel/prequel, it is all up in the air. I would buy up both Minimates and any Hot Toys product, should they ever manage to get the license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox have really only had licensed figures via Minimates). That Spinner is the Police Spinner, the second version that Medicom have released, the first version was marketed as the Back To The Future 2 Future Car ....apparently it appears in the BTTF2 movie . Each car is superb but the latest has the edge on the plain black original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yeah, from my understanding Medi produced the first one intending to release it as a Blade Runner car, but couldn't shore up the license rights, for the reasons YB is referring to. But my thought was that those rights might have become easier to obtain in recent years, as reflected by the release of that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
