Minimate Vehicles!!


Recommended Posts

M'yup, that's Kyle alright. He's got Michael Biehn's gorgeous Minimate eyes.

I absolutely love it, both Kyle and the Ground Killer Thingymabob. Though now I'm greedy for a motorcycle two-pack for the Terminators. Let's see a Series 2!

With the Delorean, I'm still on the fence. The Marty figure has guaranteed that I will purchase it, but just from the pictures I do agree it is too chunky and squat. But my mind can always change once I see some better pics of it (possibly in relation to some other minimates).

Is there a posibility we get a hover conversion done on this for a 3rd version release?

Also, have we confirmed that the wheels roll?

Marty looks epic! Squaty car.. but I will take 2.. pass on the robot.. and I'm sure I'll get one of each color on the jet. Onward minis.. onward.

Well the newest issue of Toyfare (#151) has revealed 2 of the 3 minimates that will accompany the TRU vehicles on page 37.

  • Included with the black M.A.X jet will be a black uniformed pilot. <_<
  • Included with the T2 hunter killer tank will be.... ..... ...an ENDOSKELETON! :pinch::sick::yucky:
  • The minimate included with the TRU Delorean has yet to be determined.

Saw that myself. Guess my future army is gonna have a lot of pre-beat-up tanks and NO CLEAN ONES. :rolleyes: Waste of a slot, where we could have gotten Silver Asylum T-1000 or a FEMALE SOLDIER.

Dissapointed by the lack of character selection yet for the Delorian. With Mattel withholding JLU info, DST and Hasbro keeping IM2 under wraps, "The Carpathian Cometh..." clue, and now this, i am getting pissed off with all the secrets. they are toys. Seriously.

We're spoiled rotten. Not to go all "Old Man" on everyone, but there was a day toy reveals were pretty much reserved for the actual toy fair and whatever blurry pictures Tomarts and Lee's were able to provide. You might get some late summer reveal stuff, but that wasn't guarenteed. More likely you'd get the catalogue shots of the blurry actiond figures you saw in the big Toy Fair issues. Now we get grumpy if there isn't a new reveal every 6 weeks. And I do mean we, 'cause I do it too now. In this internet age when whole scripts being leaked is no longer uncommon, and now we've moved to early cuts of a movie showing up rather than just set spoilers, a little mystery, a little anticipation are not neccesarily bad things. YMMV.

Well, I suppose if we're going to begin the teen angst seminar I'd also like to point out the Endoskeleton was a bit of a silly choice seeing as we already have tons of them, but I can live with it. Besides, aren't the machines supposed to outnumber the humans?

"Yet to be determined" could actually mean... y'know... that they haven't determined it yet ;)

I mean why would they pass up a big advertising opportunity if they had the mate sitting there ready to be announced?

The IM2 stuff I imagine would be at the studio's request, to try and keep movie secrets (rather than toy secrets)...

Hey - not sure if this image/angle has already been posted.

Did a quick scan of the thread and didn't see it. Apologies if someone has already posted it.

You can see a little more of the inside dashboard detail in this one.

How can a stealth jet be red? Wouldn't that be kind of obvious?

Whilst colour does play a small factor in real-life stealth technology, it is very minimal .

See: F-22s. They're tan, and they look like a regular jet from above or below. But dead on they have a minimal radar image.

I know that another Endoskeleton is a bland choice for a lot of you (and I agree; I want my Liquid T-1000!) but does anyone know if it has any differences from the other Endoskeleton figures? At the very least, it could provide a little variety in my post-apocalyptic display.

Seems to me I'm gonna have to get these two and also track down some of the Back To Future minimates sets. Cool future soldier and nice stealth pilot.

Has anyone seen anything on the exclusive figure that is coming with the TRU Delorean. I haven't seen these show up on TRU's site for pre-order either

I'll wager buttheadsmate's right testicle (since he bought that Spidey-Maximate statue with his left one) that the accompanying minimate for the TRU Delorean will be a Doc Brown minimate. It has to be!

Doc does seem like the safe bet but I would not be surprised if it is another variation of Marty. Like this for instance.

Not a lot of new content, but DST has another small blurb about these on their site confirming some Toy Fair reports.

Prepare yourself for the latest Minimates revolution, Minimates MAX! Minimates MAX or Mobile Action Xtreme is an all new line of original creation Minimates being shown to the world for the first time at this years Toy Fair in NY. This line will include original vehicles that are large enough to contain multiple figures as well as feature the ability to interconnect with other vehicles in the line to create larger vehicles or all new creations. The figures in the MAX line will spread out over several genres, each emphasizing a unique play pattern. The line will roll out this fall in stores nation wide and feature , Pirates, police, fire, and the long awaited Battle Beast (this years special Toy Fair giveaway) . Each line will feature a unique twist befitting the Miniamtes name. Keep an eye on www.artasylum.com as well as www.minimates.com for the latest news. The new website www.mobileactionxtreme.com will also be debuting this summer.

This bit of copy looks really rushed. I wonder why? Even the Mobile Action Extreme site still has the default Network Solutions template. :)

I was thinking that the Minimate MAX stuff (the futuristic jet/jetpack/mech suits) were one line and the Elite Heroes and pirates were separate to that, due to the historic/present day/future differences, but they are just subcategories, which also include the Battle Beasts? Curious!

Bang goes my planned question about whether you guys think there will be any story behind the different sets, they are clearly just lumping them all in together.

hey guys, one of the pictures at the minimate headquaters shows that a second pilot can be put into the jet, but he's not been menitioned before. do you think they will sell him seperatly?

I wasn't sure whether many of us were aware that there were lots of Battle Beast vehicles back in the day ....some are quite valuable :ohmy: Obviously DST will be producing some of these & the originals appear to be very similar to what has been announced for other lines. It perhaps won't be long before we're all discussing 'Shocking Sharks' :D

edit : Perhaps that link is imperfect......scroll down to 'vehicles' .
