captain_cbecker Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Have pre-orders for these shown up anyplace else? I'd rather not get my Beverly Hills Minimate Box Set w/ a side of identity theft and credit card fraud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm quite happy with these, though I would've preferred a Golden Child Set featuring Chandler Jerrell, Kee Nang, The Golden Child, Sardo Numspa with parts to turn him into the demon or one of his goons Bring on more 80's Moviemates!!!

dr baghead Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 One of them has a passing resemblance to Mulder as well . you can team him up with Clarice Starling from the SotL set (everyone said she looked like Scully) and unhelmeted/battled damaged T-1000 head on a suit (who bares such a strong resemblance to Agent Dogget, are they brothers or something?) and have an X-Files set. So is there a following of 'Beverly Hills Cops' fans like there are Madonna fans? I guess this is probably one of the few non-animated Eddie Murphy figures so that's a plus... I guess what I want to say is "I know who this set is for (BHC/Eddie Murphy fans who until now have not gotten toys but want them) but I don't know if they actually exist" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm sorry, but these look like they could just be just another 24 boxed set, and we all know how well they sold. I haven't seen the movie and maybe its more iconic and popular than I give it credit for, but this rasies zero excitement in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm sorry, but these look like they could just be just another 24 boxed set, and we all know how well they sold. I haven't seen the movie and maybe its more iconic and popular than I give it credit for, but this rasies zero excitement in me. The first 24 boxset sold right through, and is now fairly scarce. I think the key is the novelty of "toys for classic movies." I will grant you, some of these franchises seem like odd fits for toys (Silence of the Lambs?...) but BHC was reasonably action-ey. I kind of wonder if DST is "chumming" with some of these licenses: like they're only half-serious about producing them, but want to see what gets preorders and get to stir up some buzz about Minimates either way. The prototypes are cheap to produce (much more so than traditional figure protos), and if they have blanket licenses for entire movie studio libraries, why not take a swing?

Apone Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 One one hand, these are mostly guys in suits, on the other it's Beverly Hills Cop. So yes, I'll be buying. However, one thing that sort of bothers me (and I noticed this with the Godfather figures) is having the collar and tie seperately sculpted rather than a tampo. I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I think it makes the figures look too bulky. Though it's odd they would do that with Taggart and not Victor and Judge Reinhold.

I kind of like the ones on The Spirit (especially with the clever rolled-cuff pieces), but it does look rather odd to have a mix of the two styles in one pack.

captain_cbecker Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Based on DST's recent ship list, posted today on the AA blog, it looks like Beverly Hills Cop just got shelved and has joined Godfather mates and a whole bunch of other figures on the "Release TBD list" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Unfortunately, that isn't a great surprise. I would love to have an Eddie Murphy Minimate, but from a business standpoint, I don't know. Maybe if they could get these into FYE stores or something they could sell, but even then. . .just too "boring looking." An unforgivable crime for a Minimate. You know what wouldn't be boring-looking? Colonial Marines. . . Edited September 16, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, right? These were on DST's "TBD" list in the last shipping update (end of Oct) - I think the release date for next week goes back before the line got put on hold. Not sure that I bank too heavily on seeing these next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
