dr baghead Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) of all the things BifBangPow! holds a license (Venture Brothers, the Big Lebowski) too this is the last one I’d want... but eh, Green Lantern chest piece. http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/exclusive-first-look-at-big-bang-theory-from-bif-bang-pow/ edit: actually, now that I think about it since Sheldon has two DC logos on shirts if there’s a loophole in this contract so we can get this set: and get some updated JLA pieces that would be pretty sweet.

Kostisfire Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) As I said in the PVZ thread this an unexpected but quite welcome surprise. I occasionally watch the show and i'm always up for civvie mates so i'll def buy these. Thing is, they feature dc statues and action figures quite often so if there is a loophole we might be able to get some dc mates, ala dashboard Jesus. Even if that can't happen we'll surely get some gl lanterns, comic books and all kinds of such accessories . EDIT: Now that I think about it, we could get a Stan Lee, 4th Doctor costume, an Indy costume and all kinds of cool stuff so it could prove to be a great license.

winkerbean Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Amazing news, great looking minimates, if this is 4 2-packs I'm in for case easily. Now come on community minimates!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I believe they are two box sets, grouped as shown. But I would not expect to see DC Minimates just because there's a statue of Batman on their shelf, sorry. Dashboard Jesus doesn't have his own animated series and licensing program.

Yeah, that really is too big of a stretch, I admit. But I suppose they could come with little statues of batman and all these guys (ala heralds silver surfer) as accessories. Or just a plain cardboard box with a little label outside reading "Spider-Man comics" or just individual issues, that'd be cool. All in all, this is shaping up to be a great weekend!

murderofcrows Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Dashboard Jesus doesn't have his own animated series and licensing program. Not yet anyways...I'm planning a minimate strip with DB Jesus and the Cow from Battle Beasts as unlikely partners working for the police. It will be called. Holy Cow. Stay tuned Moc847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Dashboard Jesus doesn't have his own animated series and licensing program.which when you think about it, is the real crime here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Zach, are these a license DST holds, or are you contracted to produce them by Bif Bang Pow, like the T-cats happened through Icon Heroes? If it's the latter, I can think of another license BBP holds that could be reason to get very excited...

hellpop Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm assuming these must be contracted out by Bif Bang Pow, since their logo is on the photos. Ironic that this just came up in the "Licensees you just don't want" thread just the other day. I can't say I want them, as I'm not a fan, but they should sell well. Definitely nice to get some civilians for fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckycreature Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This will be a complete pass for me. I hate this show. I feel like Community makes jokes for geeks, while Big Bang makes fun of geeks. Just my personal thought, but this series I wont even touch at clearance prices.

Zombie Shakespeare Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Damn you DST! I really don't like this show, but having Green Lantern and Flash minimate t-shirts is really tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've never watched the show, but that might be from people I know always telling me I should watch the show, you'd probably love it. I'll get these to make some customs of my son, who loves to wear his superhero shirts, and maybe update the custom mini nervous I made years ago.

CaptainChunk Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Those look spot on, unlike the 3.75" figures shown. I'm actually excited to grab these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimate-Maniac Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Love this show! I am def going to buy these. Big Bang is a popular show. These may not appeal to most regular Minimate collectors, but these could be the catalyst in creating more collectors.

stegron01 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeah loving these (and the show!) - and the likenesses look pretty great too!! By far one of my favourite new licences for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm in for these. I like the show (yea I know it's now considered geek sacrilige to like it) and these look very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeah, the show is hit or miss for me, but damn if these things aren't perfect custom fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 While I was thinking about how the Sheldon ones wouldn't really be good bases to update Flash and Green Lantern, since they are t-shirts and not skintight costumes, it dawned on me that the GL one is PERFECT for my old G'nort custom. So there's one more set sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still going to buy them.Buuuuut probably on the secondary market so they don't get any of my money directly. Which, TBH is how I buy most of my mates, usually because I can't afford them right away. Edited February 15, 2014 by TBT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
