boyd Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Thanks for sharing those photos, Timbo. The DC Minimates are looking good! After seeing the picture, i now have a case of John Stewart Minimate fever. And the only prescription is a John Stewart Minimate. Or more cowbell...

Danny Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 So they can't get stuff out for X3 but they're going for Ghost Rider? Oooooookay. Never mind - those DC Minimates will own us all anyway. See if you can find out more about that John Stewart Green Lantern Tim! And, er, get me one, obviously! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITAN Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Thanks for posting the pix TBT, now i am frantic for one of those John Stewarts (walks away and sobs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Ooooh so there is an exclusive after all! Nice pics Sir Pimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 DC Mates: Aw *Expletive Deleted* Booth giveaway only.... no advance warning. Short of limiting it to say Silver Spidey numbers or blind-packing a number of characters I can't think of how more annoying they could have done it... Ghost Rider Mates: THIS is the minimum requirement to convince me a line is coming out, control art or protos, not promises. Not that it's a lock after Batman Begins, but X3 was never in the running. Speed Racer: Sort of a miss-match IMO to have classic styled toys on New series cards, but that's me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedevil Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'll be the first bold enough to ask: Did anyone get a spare John Stewart there? If so... I WANT IT! Please PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Cool pics! The Ghost Rider Mates are a nice surprise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Am I the only one who isn't crazy about the fact that what's visible of Batman's face is painted onto his mask? And look! 4 accessories for Green Arrow! Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yup they seem to have strayed into Mattel territory with the John Stewart thing. Sod all of the loyal fans who are waiting to actually buy the things, let's just have a giveaway no-oe can get hold of. Still, the DC protos look very nice indeed. Two words. Power Girl's bust! No wait, that's 3, nevermind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Sod all of the loyal fans who are waiting to actually buy the things, let's just have a giveaway no-oe can get hold of. For all we know there are 5000 of these things and they will flood ebay, much like Santa whom there is usually at least one of on ebay.

boyd Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Ady's probably right. Back when DC used to make their Pocket Super Heroes, they made different exclusives like Superman & Catwoman and gave them away at Toy Fair and conventions. They were easy to get, and easy to find on Ebay afterwards. I'm guessing there's probably a decent number of thes figures to give out. And I still really want one. Any one who is able to procure me one will be my new best friend for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 So... can any one at SDCC confirm or deny 2-1/2" Minimates in the DC line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Confirmed By Mr Cow. http://www.toymania.com/toybuzz/messages/73775.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Some more thoughts: - I will believe the Ghost Rider Movie Minimates exist only when I have them in my hands. I have a feeling that these will end up like the Batman Begins and X3 Minimates, though... - And since when is Blackheart a guy with a shovel? Does the shovel shoot hellfire? - Is it wrong for me to look at the Mach 5 Racer and think about how I could make it into a Batmobile?

Esp tha Batmobile... ( anyone want to make a bet that Fujis will hold a 'design a batmobile contest' when these are released ) T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Awesome Pix T! Thank for posting, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Thanks for the pics, Tim! (and for the new contest idea ) Yeah, OMAC's hips are a little weird but I'm going to reserve judgment until I see him in person. And I'm with Boyd on the Ghost Rider minis...but seriously, who ever thought that we'd see Nick Cage as a minimate? And if anyone can get there hands on a Jon Stewart for me I'd be Johnny-on-the-spot with the cash and eternally greateful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Gosh I hope they make enough of those John Stewart minis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm going to go to the DC booth in my minimate shirt and try to charm them in to parting with as many as I can today.... at the end of the weekend I'll do a count up of what I've managed to beg borrow steal and we'll sort out getting them out ot you guys then.

boyd Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 but seriously, who ever thought that we'd see Nick Cage as a minimate? Great - I just pictured a Minimate with a Nick Cage face, and now I must have one. These Ghost Rider Minimates must come out. And Timbo - thanks for trying to hook up the board with John Stewarts. Remember - John Stewart = Boyd's Best Friend Fovever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
