I had a few thoughts on this today :

Sons Of Anarchy ( SOA doesn't have any toys associated with it and a rabid fan base. Also motorcycles to go with minimates would be pretty awesome )

Breaking Bad/ The Walking Dead TV series/ Hell On Wheels ( AMC is a pretty creative bunch in terms of programming and marketing so you'd think they'd be into it. )

Dredd ( The New Judge Dredd movie which as far as I know doesn't yet have toys associated with it )

I would have LOVED to have had Sucker Punch 'mates. Babydoll, Sweet Pea, Rocket, Amber, Blondie, Madam Gorski, Blue, Wise Man, Zombie Steam Nazi (or just called a Soldier), and an Orc from the courtyard scene... would have been SOOOOOOOOOOO awesome!

You got me Thinking...I would love an Iron Mike Sharpe...that dude used to blow, but he was always one of my favorites to watch. Then I'd like a "Polish Power" Ivan Putski, Rocky Johnson, and a Piper's Pit playset with Snuka getting cracked with a coconut!.....man the good old days, when they were still the WWF

But, speaking of New licenses, gimme GI Joe,with more colorful characters than you can shake a snake at!

I'd also love to see Thundercats, He-Man, Dukes of Hazzard, and some sets like The A-Team, Knight Rider, Space Ghost, Blue Falcon, Harvey Birdman, etc.....

So, I had to do a little digging, but I think I still feel the same way, although roughly 6 yrs later, I'd probably put GI Joe 3rd (which probably has to do more with the fanbase, which as a whole gets a big thumbs down from me these days)

But Thundercats and He-man are at the top still and I don't have to customize one of these anymore, Hooooooo! I think I was the first to mention the thundercats, and then didn't see another mention for awhile ( which bummed me out, as Lion-0 is me favorite hero/character ) not too much love either for the dukes, a-team , or knight rider either back then. I think the vehicle restriction may have had everyone turned off to those suggestions. I had wished for box sets of those iconic 80's vehicles with the mates packed in, I didn't envision the deformed look, but glad they went that way, I think it works better but the delorean could have been done better I think.

Oh well, it was nice to take a look at what was being said, and a lot of old faces that haven't been around for ages now (looking at you JL)

While I'm personally not a Masters of the Universe fan, I know for fact that many people are. Now, with the news that Heroic Icons will be releasing Thundercats 'mates it seems inevitable (and rightly so as they would translate beautifully in MM form IMHO) that MotU will surely be on the horizon since the company specializes in products from both of these licenses. I think it is safe to speculate that both of these will be successful. While doing a little research to refresh my memory on the characters, I was amazed at just how near perfectly the original Mattel releases would coincide with the four 'mate box-set formula. I'd love to see H. Icons simply copy the original line-ups (with a few minor tweaks here-n-there), as I think it would enhance the nostalgic feeling for MotU fans. Four waves of two box sets would pretty much cover the entire line (at least the major characters). Here's a general idea of how it could go:

Series 1

Heroic Warriors

He-Man

Man-At-Arms

Stratos

Teela

w/ Orko pack-in (ala Snarf)

Evil Warriors

Skeletor

Beastman

Mer-Man

Zodac

w/ Screech pack-in

Series 2

Ram-Man

Man-E-Faces

Mekanek

Buzz-off

Evil-Lyn

Faker

Tri-Klops

Trap-Jaw

Special "beast" asst.

"Battle Armor" He-Man w/ Battlecat

"Battle Armor" Skeletor w/ Panthor

Series 3

Fisto

Moss-Man

Roboto

Sy-Klone

Clawful

Webstor

Whiplash

Kobra Khan

-or-

Two-Bad

Stinkor

Spikor

Scare-Glow

Series 4

Prince Adam

Sorceress

King Randor

Queen Marlena

Hordak

Grizzlor

Mantenna

Leech

I would like to see DST go after the valve license:

Portal 1&2

Half-Life 1&2 + episodes 1&2 (and that recently revealed episode 3 concept art)

Left 4 Dead 1&2

Team Fortress 2

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Maybe minimates based on the upcoming video game The Last of Us

Finally, as always, Blade Runner! I don't need them right now, but maybe when that new movie rolls around... DST could make mates for the new movie AND the old movie!

I'm wondering if a property like The Hunger Games could get the Minimates brand some more exposure.

Or 50 Shades of Grey for even more.....exposure!

But seriously, I hope DST stays far away from Hunger Games, Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey, and properties like that.

If they wanted more exposure they should have gone heavily after Harry Potter.

I'm still suprised we haven't seen the granddaddy of all licensed properties:

Planet of the Apes!

The original was the first large scale licensed property, long before Star Wars.

I'm not the biggest fan of the films, but I'd buy the hell outta them! I think the designs would translate extremely well to minimates.

I would like to see a complete Street Fighter line. We've had SF2 and SF X tekken but I would like to see complete coverage of all the characters from all games in the series.

The same goes for Tekken as well.

I would also like to see these games thoroughly covered:

Dead or Alive

Soul Calibur

Mortal Kombat

Final Fantasy

And maybe a wave or two from:

Minecraft

Elder Scrolls

Scott Pilgrim vs. the world

I've been saying for years that Minimates are the modern-day Mego when it comes to the variety of licensed properties all in one format. We've gotten Marvel, DC, and Star Trek but Planet of the Apes would round out my favorites nicely.

I would buy SO MANY of the 'Mates named here! Especially the Evil Dead ones! Although I'd love some Army of Darkness

'Mates too! Skeleton army!

Anyone else want Bubba Hotep 'Mates?

If i have one vote? Big Trouble in Little China!
