The Vox

oh man.. Zach stops by and not a single comment as to which Disney Princess he was with on Valentines Day.. I kind of see him as a Belle type of guy.. .. maybe Rapunzel. ...but I digress.

This has been my favorite thread to catch up on day to day. I look forward to March.. I seriously love not knowing! for whatever reason it makes me more interested.

If this turns out to be just about any Disney license, I will buy up every bit of it. I absolutely love how vast and different the Minimate world has become. Even though DC, Doctor Who and Star Wars would be my 1, 2, and 3 greatest minimate wish.. I still get excited to see every new license that comes along!!

Long live the Minis!!

Happy Valentines Day Tinkerbell!

Hopefully Zach will post news after his romantic night out with a disney princess....

With so many new lines and announcements flying around I am still most curious about this thread. Can we confirm that none of the lines announced satisfy the clues from Zach in this thread? I'm still believing there is another announcement coming..

Who can teach me a bit about that Black and Yellow Iron Man armor? I keep thinking of Mainframe.. but then it looks like it comes with a Tony Stark head. I thought Mainframe was an android.

(Miry.. I'm looking in your direction....)

It's basically an updated version of the modular armor. The Extremis armor was good at everything, the logic behind this suit is that if Tony needs an armor that's really, really strong he uses this armor. All power would be focused on strength and not flight speed, stealth, etc. Basically he plans his missions ahead for what type of additions to the modular armor he will need.

Hopefully we get some cool attachments with this.

bigvis covered it pretty well, Vox. Stark came up with this one when he was "not" being Iron Man, after the whole "got caught drinking and armoring" during FI. Tony had to publicly remove himself from his company, and remove all the IM tech from his body. (Again, this is why revealing his ID to the public was a bad idea, but I digress.) Rhodey wore it first, which makes it unique among new armor designs.

As for R.O.B.... you don't think Ms. Hill is going to let a SHIELD backed Hulk roam around unescorted?

Thanks Bigvis and Miry! Has there been any story around the colors chosen and how it does look a bit like Mainframe?

SOLD! I will own them all. Love the armors!!

Heads up for U.S. fans.. Barnes & Noble carry the Tardis Set ($19.99) and the 11 Doctors Set ($39.99) in their stores. Paying any amount for shipping always bugs me when there is a local store that may carry something.. so I thought this might be useful for other yankee Who fans.

I found these at 2 B&N stores in the Salt Lake City area so I gotta think they are available most places. I love the Tardis but I do wish it was just a bit bigger (going to see if I have some "tardis blue" legos to add to it.). Lots of extra stickers if you mess up putting them on. I REALLY REALLY wish Minimates were still a possibility with this franchise.

Next step, I need one of you gifted customizers to make me a David Tennant Dr.

Embargoed is the new Redacted. Zach Oat: The unintentional Creator of Memes.

I am hoping for a whole unique box set of embargoed armors. I am such a sucker for Iron Man armors.. I will continue to buy multiples of every one they make!!

So a couple kids get ripped on poppy's.. then they are so high that they forget they are related?.. Interesting... though I am not good at undertsanding other cultures so I may be way off on my assessment.

Also, can't wait to see the reveal on the IM3 minis.. Toy Fair?.. or does anyone know when we will see prototypes?

Well this speculation became a fun game at work. Bsore and I had non-minimate fans guessing at what this could be based on the different clues given. I know there has been some awesome reveals recently.. I'm still wanting to know what this license is.

The moment I see a single lens flare in Episode VII, I am leaving the theater.

I read this news last night on SHH! and this was my EXACT first thought. Well played youbastards..

Aren't we due for the announcement? I thought we would be hearing about it last week...

SOOOO glad this is back.. I was getting the shakes. I echo all sentiments shared.. I didn't realize how much I check this place.

I MUST HAVE THESE! oh wait, I don't know what they are yet... man I have a problem.

At least I am in good company.

Bring on more wallymart, target or any other outlet. Minimates should rule the world!

I first found minimates while trying to find some inexpensive super hero figures for my nephews that were not "scary" looking. Little did I know that 8 years later I would get bigger into collecting these things than any other item in my life.

Size for storage and display are a big selling point. I love the quality and even the art work. I am still amazed how a few lines on a round block face can make a piece of plastic look like a person I have scene in a movie, etc. I have to say, not all toys can also be works of art.. especially this small. But minimates have done it.

Welcome shrugs.. one of the best names I have seen in a while.

Welcome! Best part about this addiction... no track marks.

Spy vs Spy.. so many variant possibilities.

I would not want to see Strawberry Shortcake either.. mainly because my wife would become a bigger minimate collector than I am. I am mainly a comic book minimate collector (DC/Marvel) but over the years I have given in to a lot of other licenses and movies.. So it is hard for me to say for sure what I would not buy in minimate form. Fun thread to read though.

I think you are on to something with the "Flying Carpet" Bsore.. it adds to my Wizards of Waverly Place theory.

I gotta think the Pirate Ships with Peter Pan is as good a guess as any.

Oh, is that it? Okay, never mind.

Zach rules.

First day back to work this week and I go straight to this thread for infotainment and Zach gives this awesome line! Made my day.

Merry Christmas to me! I finally got my hands on this box set and LOVE IT! The Iron Man is just crazy and now I want a second one since the suit underneath is pretty amazing too. This combined with a Imhotep on its way to me for cost is a great holiday treat. DST rules and collecting minimates continues to be a blast!!

Very entertaining thread to read from start to now.

Bring on those north by northwest minimates!

Er, I meant Wizards of Waverly Place minimates!

Well, after talking to a local TRU manager, it sounds like this box set may not ever come to any of the 5 Utah locations. Weird stuff.

Love the car but my Herman Munster's 2nd head will not fit in.. The hole is much smaller that the regular head. Any advice on how to widen it without breaking it?

I had to force it, but it went on... eventually.

Thanks.. I'll just keep trying.

As for the vehicle, I think it is pretty awesome. I have my Universal Monsters posed in it and it looks great. The rubber tires and detailed design are close to perfect. It makes me wish the BTTF car had these tires and detail. <sigh>
