minijeff Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I just read that too....no mention of mates but I am sure that they wouldnt give that away like that....and even if they are not on tap yet at least the foot is in the door....my heart literally jumped when I switched to their site and saw the big SW logo staring at me!

karamazov80 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Minimate Chewbacca would rule the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickWJ324 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Wow... I really hope we see some SW 'mates!! I used to collect the Kenner/Hasbro SW figures and had EVERY figure, ship, and playset made right up until the Phantom Menace. The new trilogy killed my desire to collect them. I would definitely collect Original Trilogy minimates though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7EVIN Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yeah SW mates would kick lots and lots of @$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Looks like DST is sub-licensing Star Wars AND Indiana Jones from Hasbro. If they make Minimates... My poor wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evenflow Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I will be so broke if they make Star Wars mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Firstly,I would love to see Star Wars Minimates . I've never been an avid fan of the films but I do have the Kubrick Star Wars collection & they are simply superb. I really hope that the Minimates will be even better....it would be a tall order.

comedian Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 This would be excellent news, if it were to happen, and allow me to completely and totally forget about the 3 3/4" line (which I have almost done anyway, save for a clone here or a droid there). Yeah. Just wow. I can't even come up with which character I want first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I wonder if the fact that Kubrick has a Star Wars license puts the smackdown on a Minimate license. I guess those are officially distributed in Japan, so it's a different market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm probably the only one thinking this, but I think the Star Wars name has SO many other toys and figures and the like.....I'd much rather see other movie licenses that don't have as much exposure in the toy industry, like Indiana Jones.......I would much rather have those then Star Wars.

S7EVIN Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I will be so broke if they make Star Wars mates. yeah if SW minimates came out i would go bank-rupt before I graduated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought did actually cross my mind too. That, plus humans are a LOT easier to pull off then, say, Rancors. Personally, I know they said all six, but I'm hoping they they mainly stick to the OT.

Are you kidding me? Darth Vader would be the ultimate addition to my minimate collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlushyFrog Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Wow, I'm scared. Scared that it might happen. And scared for my wallet. I love Star Wars, but have refrained from buying Star Wars merchandise for quite a long time now. If they started Minimates, however.... Indiana Jones i will probably get without hesitation.

gambitron Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I adore minimates, the only thing more important in my toy collecting and in my life is Star Wars. If you put these two together I would be the most happy person alive! Darth Vader, Admiral Ackbar, Chewie, and don't forget Boba Fett oh these and more in minimate form would just make for a happy happy Patrick.

infallible Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 What would amaze me about it is the credibility and diversity of MiniMates. The only time you've had so many properties under a single style was back in the Mego days. But if MiniMates could add Star Wars and Indy, then I think they'd have the big names of sci-fi/fantasy wrapped up. As it is right now, you can make a superteam Dream Dozen of Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Frodo, Starbuck (old and new), Dr. Who, Wolverine, Batman, Witchblade, Ryu, and Morrigan. And that's not even all the sci-fi/fantasy properties and the non-sci-fi/fantasy movie/TV licenses. With Star Trek, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings, you'd have the biggest nerd-core series ever. The very thought of being able to make just about any big fantasy pairing that I can dream of makes me drool. How would Jack Bauer and Batman team up to find Hannibal Lecter? What if Marty McFly met the actual Clint Eastwood? Can Han Solo beat Indiana Jones? Can Yoda train Rocky to be a Jedi? ("Mmmm, catch a chicken you must.")
