Trekker 42 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Father's Day Minimates? ...? Allrighty then! And I strike that Dracula statement I made earlier. Even standing up he's unexciting. Give me the other monsters, thank you. Edited February 15, 2010 by Trekker 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRaider Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Guys... anyone else notice these? http://toyfair10.asmzine.com/gallery/diamo...s/IMG_4544.html http://toyfair10.asmzine.com/gallery/diamo...s/IMG_4548.html http://toyfair10.asmzine.com/gallery/diamo...s/IMG_4545.html Wacky. And ingenious. Oh, and Galileo interior shot! (The Father's Day mates do bring up some fridge logic about the varying scales though...)

Ivan Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Okay, how the frak am I going to be able to take a decent DB photo of Stilt Man?! This is why prototypes always get so beat up. Different angle on what was hiding behind the Bird of Prey. I have a feeling we'll never actually see that Shuttlecraft but that doesn't stop me from hoping. Father's Day Box Set? With a new scale? What is that, about 1.25"? The smiles on the small ones are really creeping me out. Now how do I get my hands on the giveaway?

Twisted Two-Face Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Father's Day mates???!?!?!?! that's so neat!! Of course, DST see's "Holiday," and i see FRANKLIN RICHARDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Those Father's Day figures freak me out a bit. Also, in what little I can see of it, that future Terminator guy definitely looks like Kyle Reese. http://toyfair10.asmzine.com/gallery/diamo...s/IMG_4534.html Edited February 15, 2010 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASMDaniel Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Sorry for the quick pics - I haven't had a chance to de-bag him yet, and we're about to crash after getting up at 4:30 for this morning's LEGO event. No real clue about the Father's Day sets from the pics (my fault for not asking more questions, but DST had an insanely huge amount of stuff to take photos of, and I was busy trying to keep the camera from overheating)...it looks like they'll be special two-packs of some sort featuring a father and child taking part in an activity together. Hard to say exactly what articulation the kid 'mates will have when they're produced, since these ones were extremely prototypey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that confirms that the kids are smaller than 2" scale not the parents being 2.5" Once again thanks.... we at MMV really appreciate you posting... Now go sleep!!! T.

NorthRaider Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 "Battle Beasts: the roar rages on." Awesome, he's so shiny and official looking. It's like they're officially a part of the family now. Of course, the apparent lack of rub signs might not endear us to the old guard by now. And wait, I'm confused: Are the dad figures in the Father's Day sets 2.5 inches or are the kids really in some insane new scale smaller than 2 inches that DST just invented???

karamazov80 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) So, slightly over 1 inch Minimates? Insane.

NorthRaider Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) That is just INSANE. Thanks again ASMDaniel! So how long do you think 'til we see them make their way into the rest of the lines? And who can we expect out of these? Franklin and Val Richards? Puck? A slightly-more proper Wasp and/or Ant Man?

TM2 Dinobot Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Folks... Also... Take a peek at the bag of parts behind the Bird of prey in this image Is that a set of Movie-esq IM legs with silver paint on them? Thoughts? T. p.s. I bet DST gets that image pulled before the show is over... I am 99% sure that Stilt man is an exagerated custom. I think I found his ACTUAL legs behind the display. Could be wrong. Also, love the no picture sign in the picture. http://www.cooltoyreview.com/TF2010/DST/image26.asp http://www.cooltoyreview.com/TF2010/DST/image27.asp I think those gray things are the REAL Stilt Man legs.

Apone Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Crud, now they have to have a John Conner/T-800 Father's Day set! Edited February 15, 2010 by Apone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASMDaniel Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The kids are a tiny, tiny new scale. Honestly, I'd bet on maybe neck and shoulder articulation, with the rest just sculpted detail. Hips if we're very lucky. One note on the vehicles for the non-licensed sets -- they're designed to be semi-modular. That jet pack is actually formed from popping the wings and the center connector off the double-cockpit jet and pegging them together. It looked neat. Now sleep!

maxcarnage Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 after looking through all the pictures i have come to one conclusion: i am so F@#$ed for cash. these minimates all look super cool hope they really get made and we can find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Crud, now they have to have a John Conner/T-800 Father's Day set! Did I miss that somewhere? ASM, I have a question. Can you try and find out what exactly is included in those Heroes sets? Is if just the 5 Minimates or the vehicles as well? Of course, this goes without saying, after you get some sleep.

BrobotC Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 wow,holiday minimates,COOL!!!!and its cool to see more clear pics!the only thing that bugs me is bela lugosi's hair,its supposed to be short and slicked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apone Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Crud, now they have to have a John Conner/T-800 Father's Day set! Did I miss that somewhere? Oh no, just thinking out loud. This is probably not the right time to add things to my wishlist though. I'm looking at those Universal Monsters pictures again and feeling some kind of plastic high. Dracula is a tad duller than the rest, but that could easily be rectified if he had an alternate expression baring his fangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorVonDoom Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Holy. Crud. I cannot believe I will own Universal Monster minimates. They are all friggin Fantastic, although I'm hoping to see a Phantom and Hunchback brought in at the very least. And Classic Mandarin? Yes. Stilt Man? Mega Yes. So. Good.

battlecat Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Mandatory moment of fanboy griping: ALL of those plain jane Ghostbusters and still no GB1 Janine Otherwise: lotta cool stuff! Glad Marty has the full radiation mask, and I'm liking the Delorean more and more. Not sure how much of the kids line I'm interested in, but it's a cool direction for the brand. The mini-Minimates totally weird me out. And the new Battle Beasts logo/slogan suggests they're definitely doing something with the license in the not-too-distant, which is great! Thanks for the pix ASMDaniel! Much clearer than some of the other sites. Edited February 15, 2010 by battlecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
