captain_cbecker Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 How about Jaws? Jaws would make a cool boxset - I'm thinking the assortment would go something like this: Chief Brody w/ pistol and either scuba tank OR chum bucket Matt Hooper with "Shark Dart" Quint (military jacket & cap version from the early part of the movie) w/ rifle & yellow shark barrel Mayor Larry w/ gaudy nautical sportcoat (the one with the little anchors on it) I'd really like to see a set with "Bruce", but I know a giant shark would be too much to ask For an exclusive how about Chief Brody in his cop uniform w/ pistol and Hooper in scuba gear Just a thought... Jaws is such a cool movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to do this: Peter/Brian Lois/Stewie Meg/Chris Variant: Mickey McFinnigan/)O'Brian (the sheep) Two variants work here Wave two Quagmire/Cleveland Joe/Death Battle Damaged Peter/Giant Chicken Variant: Cop uniform Joe/Death w/o Hood Wave three: Blue Harvest Stewie (as Vader)/ Peter (as Solo) Chris (as Luke)/Lois (as Leia) Brian (as Chewie)/Herbert (as Kenobi) Variant: Lois's parents as Owen/Beru Exclusives (One for previews, the other for whatever. both Star Wars): Quagmire/Cleveland as C3PO/R2D2 Something Someting Something Dark Side Exclusive: Ollie (as Lando)/Giant Chicken (as Boba Fett) BTW: Yes I'm serious about that.

karamazov80 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 How about Jaws? I think this is a great idea, and I would be happy if DST didn't even do JAWS himself (though that would certainly be nice). I think this set would give DST another chance to do slightly unusual, distinctive human faces and outfits, which really helps when they are doing humans in Minimate form. Plus, it is a much beloved film both generally, and amongst geek/cult movie fans, which would help sales at comic outlets and/or specialty movie stores like FYE. I would personally buy Minimate Simpsons, but not Minimate Family Guy toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtf this isn't Sparta Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 My three choices have all been named-- Lost, Arrested Development, MST3K. How about... Curb Your Enthusiasm? No, wait, Flight of the Concords. That would be cool. Flight of the Conchords would be rad! Four Pack: Bret with Guitar Jemaine with Bass Murray with checklist Dave with Paint Ball Gun or Mel with... something humorously creepy other accessories: boom-box, stationary bike, musical card, box of sawdust Exclusive 2-Pack: Bret with eye patch Jemaine as David Bowie Coco was kinda prominent, I'd say she'd constitute an exclusive or something. Maybe even just bagged, but it'd be nice to have her there too. Maybe even...ugh, I forget their names and now I feel like a bad fan, but the two guys from the last episode. Demitri Martin played one. With the bongos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Coco does indeed deserve a 'mate. And the Crazy Doggz definitely do too. (I think the other guy is Todd Berry or something like that.) And Sally would be nice too. There are really so many good moments and characters in the show, it's tough to narrow it down. Bring 'em all on, I say. And add me to the list that would love some Firefly minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link 46 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 this will never happen but a return of music mates would rock! wave one: trooper eddie/number of the beast eddie tom morello/zach de la rocha better kiss minis! variant:killers eddie wave two: jimi hendrix/slash eddie van halen/eric johnson stevie ray vaughn(is that spelled right?)/lenny kravitz variant:can't think of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 How about Jaws? Jaws would make a cool boxset - I'm thinking the assortment would go something like this: I am so going to get into trouble for this post....but if you know/knew me you wouldn't/won't be offended. I tend to 'scan' posts on here & then come back & reply. I 'scanned' captain checker's post just days ago & read his post as 'What would you like to see?' 'How about Jews?' .....that's how I read it. OK, OK ,what's funny about that? Except that now I cannot stop imagining various ,stereotypical, 4 pack ,AFX Orthodox Exclusives. The elusive 'kosher' variant that no-one can find on ebay. Super-rabbi C3 Mini-flyer , The Synagogue Six...et ad nauseam*. I am not in any shape or form a bigot , racist or hypocrite but I just had to share it with you. Forgive me. * trans.

pickle Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 BHM, you damn near make me piss my pants whenever you leave a post. Anyhow..... I think I would love some box sets based on some SciFi miniseries, Frank Herberts Dune, Children of Dune and Tin Man. I would mos def buy waves based on Serenity/Firefly. And finally, I would go Ape-shit for a blank minimate with the SciFi channel logo on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been sick Well Crap! Now you've gone and done it! After that post, all I can think of is the "Jews in Space" trailer from Mel Brooks' History of the World Part I.

Matimoo Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Heroes Heroes would be great. This is how it could be: Peter and Claire Hiro and Sylar Mohinder and Matt Chase:Future Hiro and Sylar Niki and DL Nathan and Angela Petrelli Noah and Mrs.Bennet Chase: Jessica and DL And some accessories could be Wounded parts for Claire, Kensei sword, Brain, Mr.Muggles .etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapeApe650 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hill Street Blues, The Larry Sanders Show, Twin Peaks, I Love Lucy, Quantum Leap, Freaks and Geeks, Spaced and Strangers With Candy. I'd also like to see more of a focus on the home box office in general: deadwood, the sopranos, oz etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 After that post, all I can think of is the "Jews in Space" trailer from Mel Brooks' History of the World Part I. Well, crap! I'll have this song in my head for weeks! And, on topic, heroes mighty be pretty cool, but i guess I'd buy Futurama Mates without hesitation! (Altough I am more into the Simpsons, I guess I'd prefer the Planet Express crew as Minimates much more.) Like: Fry - Bender Leela /w Nibbler - Dr. Zoidberg Hermes - Prof. Farnsworth All with nice accessories and gadgets. We also have to get Amy in there somewhere, but she can't be a chase, because - check this out, this is really awesome - as chase, we'd get this exclusive Hell Bender Mate!!!!!!!111 :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Twin Peaks I just want a Log Lady Minimate with log and Agent "Denise" (David Duchovney).

Mulder Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Most of my top choices have already been mentioned. X-Files - I love the palz why not mini mates now? Firefly - I would be all over these as well. Buck Rodgers - As said above I be all over these as well. As for a couple not mentioned. V The Mini Series - I loved V the series as well as the final battle and the short lived tv series. This is kinda my dream line i love to see minimates and 3 3/4 action figures. But it's not gonna happen. Sliders - Like V this is never going to happen. Oh well I can dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 this will never happen but a return of music mates would rock! wave one: trooper eddie/number of the beast eddie tom morello/zach de la rocha better kiss minis! variant:killers eddie wave two: jimi hendrix/slash eddie van halen/eric johnson stevie ray vaughn(is that spelled right?)/lenny kravitz variant:can't think of one variant: Axl Rose? Hmm... Rage Against The Machine mates, eh? If I had known we were going THAT route then I HAVE to suggest Red Hot Chili Peppers mates! Anthony Kiedis Flea John Frusciante Chad Smith variant: Dave Navarro? or maybe "tube sock" peppers For TV.... what about Pushing Daisies? The costumes in there are just quirky enough to make for neat, retro-looking mates. Ned/Chuck Olive/Emerson Aunt Lily/Aunt Vivian And I remember somebody in another thread had (jokingly) suggested Psych mates. My comment: Shawn had better come with a minimate-sized pineapple.

captain_cbecker Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Given the holiday - and since it's the 25th anniversary of Christmas Story this year.... I was just thinking that A Christmas Story minimates would certainly be a fun set.. How about this boxset: Ralphie (in normal school clothes) & Red Ryder BB Gun Randy (in the maroon Michellin man snow outfit) Mom & soap bar The Old Man & The Leg lamp & Fra-gee-lay crate And this Exclusive 2-pk: Ralphie in the bunny suit Winter clothes flick with interchangeable tongue-attached-to-a-flagpole head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
