I just went through the whole POTA saga on bluray (thanks to netflix) so it's been on my mind lately, lol. I don't know if a whole line would be necessary, but a box set of Zira, Cornelius, Zaias, Caeser, Aldo, Taylor and Nova might be nice.

Hey All, Since I bet you are all far better versed in the world of mini figure collectibles, I was wondering if there are any Rock-related figurines out there? I know minimates had a rock line back in the day, but I'm not talking about that... more like dnd or warhammer style metal figures that are only like an inch or so tall, something along those lines. Hopefully a line with a pretty decent backlog, not just one or two figures do you know of any such thing?

These two minimates I could not find on Ebay or google shopping ANYWHERE... so, clearly, very rare... does anyone know how much these two go for?

D'OH!!! Well... can't they do kind of an AC/DC Harmonix Walmart thing where ACDC, who is exclsuive to walmart, can still have songs in Rock Band as long as Walmart gets a cut? ... ... I JUST WANT MY DAMN STAR WARS MINIMATES!!!! *cries in a corner, caressing his sig*

Hasbro doesn't make mighty mugs do they?

I hope Star Wars is just a matter of time.

Does Daredevil really need a new sculpt? Belt/Billy clubs are alright so far... the only thing I can think of adding to the target exclusive (which thus far is the difinitive Daredevil) would be making the mask have the exposed part of the face right on it, ala new cap/giant-man/every DC minimate with a mask...

well, like everyone I think doc ock and green gobbie need huge updates. And Rhino... Rhino should be insanely hulking looking.

Me too. I almost wonder though... what is they just restarted as a 'Marvel Premiere Minimates' line where they start from like a wave one and just do every character to the utmost detail, with every excessory/chest piece/paint job/etc you would expect?

Anyone else find it weird that giant-man didn't come with blue duck feet? Whatever your opinion is, if AA is going for a "this foot accessory is for our 'tall characters'" then shouldn't Giant man have gotten them along with Hulk, Abomination, Etc...? Just a lack of consistancy in the Marvel mates...

They came in when the forumla was perfected. Looking back on the defunct line, ya there were some repeat characters (Superman, Batman) but they were all kind of... consistant, of the same quality, just different versions. After so many waves of marvel, AA had worked out the kinks and learned what it was to make a really cool set of Minimates and DC reaped the benefits. I bring this up, because when I put all my marvel mates together... there's a drop off. I have a bunch of different hulks, but they aren't all equal, all consistant... wave 1 hulk and the latest hulk look totally different, and I don't just mean different like "version" because that would be okay, and encouraged, but just different like it's a totally different product. When I put all my DC mates together, there's a consistancy to them, they all look like they "match" in quality and style... the marvel ones, there's a definate growth period, and not as much of a consistancy to them. Just a little rant.

If my sanity is tested any further I may end up having to just paint it/stick it on flat rather than have a physical piece that stands out... it's lazy, but it may be the only way. I assume the superhero squad one may be too big. However, seeing that pic... where did you get Prof X's chair from??

OH MY GOD. Anyone who's ever attempted a Black Bolt custom... tell me, did getting the little thing on his forehead just right drive you absolutely bat shit crazy? I have the whole figure done.. and no matter what I do, paper, plastic, sticker, krazy glue... getting that little thing on his forehead created is just the most infuriating thing in the world. You wouldn't think it, but a combination of the shape you'd have to cut out, and how small it is (meaning it's hard to get into those grooves between the 'horns' of it, etc...) is just insane... I've gone through like 12 different head thingies. I can't get that little symbol right no matter what I do. HELP!! (Originally posted this up in the how to section, but I don't think anyone actually checks the sticky threads )

Hmm, a lot of things to consider that I never thought about before. Perhaps it is better to just use white sticker paper and place it over a minimate body. However... is there a simple way to do something that's like heat press for minimates?
