I found myself watching all the Robocop movies tonight (because, you know, it's Wednesday) and couldn't stop thinking about how awesome he'd look minimated.

Imagine, if you will, The Robocop license acting like the Back to the Future license, with a four pack for each movie with a scattered two pack here and there. Here's how I would want it to break down:

Robocop 1
- RoboCop (duh)
- Boddicker
- Lewis
- Dick Jones

Robocop 2
- Serve and protect Robocop (more opally than gunmetal grey)
- Cain (as Robocop 2)
- Cain (as a thug)
- The Old Man

Robocop 3
- Robo with a jetpack
- The Yakuza Ninja Cyborg (whatever his name was)
- One of the resistance
- an OCP Exec. Probably Johnson

Toss in some two packs of random henchmen and some battle damaged Robos, you got a series I'd totally gush over.

MAX Vehicle Series
ED-209 with Anti-Tank Gun Robocop
ED-209 with Kid from #3
ED-209 from Robocop: Roulette Comic with skull (Punisher) paint with any character for the win.

You are speaking my language, sir. I couldn't agree more!

PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK!!!

Thank You.

I said it years ago here when it seemed a pretty off-the-wall unlikelihood ....The Flintstones !

So now that the guy who does the Family Guy, Seth Whatisface, is revisiting the Flintstones what price Fred & Barney Minimates ?

Dear DST Yabbadabbadoo them because they'd really rock.

I'm ready for almost ANYTHING new Movie or TV-wise!!

I'm tired of just video game and Indie-comic mates. I need something epic and far-reaching to fill the hole now that Ghostbusters is gone.

I'm happy to see smaller releases too, don't get me wrong - some properties only need one release or a couple (Knight Rider)

I'd say that Aliens & Predator would be perfect for this. (I'd take Star Wars & Indiana Jones, but I don't see it happening this decade). Lots of other great candidates too (Army Of Darkness!), but just *something* similar to Ghostbusters - with a multiple-wave far-reaching character selection, with lots of new-sculpted pieces based on a licensed property! (I love the new Calico Jack and Zombies, but there's no guessing what's next)

(I would, of course, forgo this entire post in favor of the return of DC minimates though!)

[Urban Saboteur]

I always liked the idea of having more Videogame Minimates, they fit perfectly with the scale of the toy, The Halo Ones seem pretty decent.

Some others I'd like to see.

Mortal Kombat. Scorpian, Sub Zero, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Goro, Quan Chi, Kung Lao, Sonya Blade
Street Fighter (more releases) Ken, Blanka, Balrog, Zangief, Dhalsim, Dan, Fei Long, Sagat, Vega.
Metal Gear Solid Minimates, Raiden, Gurlukovich Soldiers, Solid Snake. etc.

How about a Team America Pack?

[Rheul]

Judge Dredd!!!!

Oh hell yeah!


MAKE DREDD DANG IT!

I'd like to see:

Mortal Kombat
Power Rangers
Dexter

[Urban Saboteur]

I'm in total agreement with the last few posts, Imagine Judge Dredd in Minimate scale?
I'd totally have to get him.

The 2000AD booth was yards away from the DST booth at SDCC2010 & I spent about an hour with the English guys running it . We chatted about SDCC,San Diego & .....er...other attractions that were walking past until I was eventually asked about my main reason for being there, "Minimates" I replied. I walked with the 2000AD Marketing Director to the Minimate presentation & I can say quite categorically that he loved what he saw . In my limited experience of Cons & life in general I can tell the differece between 'polite interest' & '£££$$$$$ enthusiastic interest' from sales people ......I saw the latter from the 2000AD guy. For comparison I'll give you the supercilious condescending cow from Underground Toys who I politely asked about Who Minimates....."Wait & see!" was her haughty .

Since last year was the 20th anniversary of The Rocketeer film, I would love to see a Minimates box set of these characters. We could get a the following:

Cliff Secord
Jenny Blake
Peevy Peabody
Neville Sinclair

with the following exclusives:

Howard Hughes
Eddie Valentine
Lothar
Fitch

I mean who wouldn't want a Jennifer Connelly Minimate!

[dj87]

my word, Garrison... you're doing this right. Would love Rocketeer mates, one of my very favourite films. I think that 4-pack is perfect, too.

Man, I keep forgetting to get that new Gambit Minimate so I can make a quick custom Solid Snake.

[TM2 Dinobot]

Galaxy Quest.

And they would go great with the Captain America First Avenger mates as well. With the whole WWII theme.

Galaxy Quest.

I loved that movie! These would be great as well!!

[buttheadsmate]

Planet of the Apes.

QUOTE (bruticus @ Dec 16 2006, 09:04 PM) Thinking about it as well, Highlander and WWE would make good future licenses in my opinion. Who wouldn't want a 2.5" "Classics" Undertaker or Hulk Hogan...

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.....

After a little digging, I found this on page 3 of this thread (back in 2006) I had a laugh at the wrestling thing, I didn't remember that. The rest I pretty much feel the same way about. Out of all the ones I listed, I never would have thought that the first to hit the minimate scene would be Knight Rider.

I'd like to add to that list the rest of the Hannah-Barbera collection of characters (two of which are in my lab, being worked on), Silverhawks,The Phantom and The characters from the Dynamite comics like :The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, Zorro, Red Sonja, The Black Terror, The Death Defying Devil, Green Lama, Silver Streak, etc...... This would quench my thirst for DC minimates!

[trainguy111]
