funkguerilla Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 In general those McFarlane sets scale really nicely with minimates; it just becomes a question of aesthetics if it works for you. I tend to like the stuff that's a little more realistic (Like the walking Dead stuff) more than the stylized cartoon-y stuff (Like Steven Universe or some of the R/M stuff), but that's a personal preference.

The Playmobil figure is nice too! I think I should make it clear that I was outside of an empty store on an empty street & my mask was removed momentarily for the picture . You can see the mask in my hand & despite my hatred of masks & regulations I adhere to them to the letter wherever I may be. Just saying.

nandoninny Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 saw this on diamond's shiplist today and i think it'd be awesome for street fighter type minimates: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/JUN208330 according to amazon its about a 11" deep, 9" tall which makes me thing its about 14" long sideways. Anyways, thought it be a fun one but not worth spending $30 to find out if i'm right or wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look legit for the mates, I think, based on this picture giving us a good scale: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattallica Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 my memories of MASK vehicles, although mine are all in storage, is that they would be too small to accommodate minimates, i recently had some mask figures out and they are much smaller and i remember most of the vehicles being tight even for them.

Yeah mine are in Australia so odds of seeing them again at this point are slim to none. Just came across the motorcycle in a toy group that they are selling and I am tempted.

Nessex Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Apologies if this is not the best place for it, but happy for a mod to move it as needed.I found these display stands that I thought might work well for minimates. Anko seems to be the in house discount brand in KMart here, so not sure if it'll exist in the US or UK. They're designed for lego-style mini figures. Each display has three shelves with a sliding clear plastic window on the front. The shelves each have 4 little 'lego' plates in them to peg peg mini figures on to, but they're removable if you wanna put minimates in there instead. The case retails for $20.00 here, so I imagine it'd be about $10 if available in the US. Edited November 15, 2020 by Nessex typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Well, dang! If those are as affordable elsewhere as they seem to be in Oz then I'll have to hunt one down locally!https://www.kmart.com.au/product/3-level-mini-figurine-display-case/3034833 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
