Lets all cross our fingers and hope so!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Maybe this is what Grimlock was referring to in the other thread? Can someone fill in the blanks here--who said this, and what, precisely, was said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modefan Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) I was at the panel & the question about DC mates was asked about 4 times - the reply was always nothing is planned for DC and that if you want DC Mates ask DC Direct The mattel booth had smaller superhero squad type DC figures so perhaps they are going that route now I think DC is pretty much dead and buried Edited February 9, 2009 by Modefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modefan Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 & the only reference they made to street fighter was the fact that when they were designing the mates - they were asked to tone down some of the concepts because they were too " sexy " I heard no reference that they were planning on making more This was all from the panel - I'm not sure if someone cornered someone from DST and grilled them for info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Being a complete convention novice at SDCC I was enthusiasic & naive enough to report some of the 'off the record' conversations I had with Mr.X & Ms.Y who represented 'Whoever'. It's a thankless job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets all cross our fingers and hope so!!! Allow me to clarify. I only said that there was discussion about the behind the scene workings on the lines when they were relevant. Go check out the Panel notes that minijeff posted. It said that DC wanted to go the 2.5" route while Digger was against it. No discussion about reviving the line. Believe me, if there were reports that DC was coming back for a third round in the Minimate arena, it would receive a lot more press than a brief mention.

Shup Dude Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well as much as I want DC 'mates back, honestly, I'm more concerned about the Street Fighter Minimates if they make more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 For anyone who was there, did DC Direct have any older Minimates on display at their booth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a thankless job. When it comes to toy collecting forums, hearsay can quickly become heresy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
