    Dark Angel Max X5-452

    I am confused about your question.

    I know she was an exclusive. Previews I think. She was going to be part of a whole line of Dark Angel minimates (to go with the AA action figures) but I don't remember why the line was shot dead. I have seen concept art for four or five more characters.

    Maybe if you were a little more specific in what you wanted to know.....

    True Blood Minimates would rock!

    Wow, I honestly did not think that someone else would agree. Thanks dude. I think that True Blood is more of a geek show (ala stargate, BSG, Lost) when compared to other HBO shows. In that they have a fanbase who would wear 'One Drop of V is all you need' and 'I Heart Bill' shirts and even pay boatloads for the Tru Blood beverage because they are so passionate about the fiction (story) of the show. Oh, and the books as well.

    Why mates and not 7" figures? Well, Most of the people I talk about True Blood with are girls, and I have only met girls who have read the books. Mates are a little more cute then action figures, which would appeal to the girl demographic a little more. Drop them in music and book stores and you may have a good chance of selling them well.

    I would rather see DST do True Blood then that crappy Bif Bam Pow or whatever they are called. Their lost figures don't look so great.

    That all said, if we ever (cause never say never) see True Blood mates, I need a Lafayette. I would quote something from him, but I hear this place should be more of a family board :)

    Any other fans thinking of a quick Maryann Forrester custom using Admiral Cain?

    .... the possibility of DST acquiring the licenses of ... some HBO series (sure, in this lifetime :rolleyes:)

    Well, as Chuck would say, never say never.

    All I was asking/saying is that True Blood is hot and if there was ever a great series of HBO mates to make, this would be it. They are already starting to market True Blood merch (mugs, shirts, even the Tru Blood Beverage), and what company would be better to make collectibles for it then DST? Vampires are in at the moment, and I hope DST jumps at the opportunity.

    I just have to ask... they did say it at least once, right? (and if you have to ask, then you're not a Joe fan)

    They even made a Kung-Fu grip joke (little 70's joe there) of which I think I was they only one who laughed. There were lots of GI Joe Fans only jokes in the movie. But by "it" I am thinking you mean Yo Joe.

    I liked the film, it was not great by a long shot but I enjoyed it. Also, did the scars left from the nano-mites behind the ears look like the Cobra symbol? I thought it did, but I could be wrong. I liked the little extras they added in the film like the addition of non-main (in accordance to the film) GI Joe characters like Cover Girl, Dr Mindbinder, and Sgt Stone. I wish they had more Joes (as extras) in the background, but what are you gonna do.

    Hey everybody. If your kids plays Chaotic, then I may have some cool promo cards for your kids. Just send me $2 over paypal to cover shipping and handling (to USA and Canada, overseas will have to pm me for different prices I am afraid) and I will send you two of this promo card:

    The codes are unused so they can have the online version as well as the physical card.

    PM me if you are interested.

    As a side note, I saw these guys for $23 on ebay just now. They are mos def not worth that much and in a month, you will see the price drop.

    I am not trying to make money here, I just want to get these cards out to kids who would enjoy them. B)

    Kind of an odd request......

    I have an account and collect points as well jcastick. I am not trying to steal points, so don't send me any anybody :)

    This is more of a post to make a trade. Because you can only have one game per account and I don't buy enough Nintendo brand Nintendo games to justify two accounts I am looking to trade my extra pin. What I have is a pin for 'The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass' for the DS to trade for another DS game that will give me points.

    I m looking for an unused pin for one of these games:

    Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

    Animal Crossing: Wild World

    Big Brain Academy

    Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day

    Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day

    Diddy Kong Racing

    Electroplankton

    Elite Beat Agents

    Kirby Super Star Ultra

    Mario Party DS

    Master of Illusion

    Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir

    Nintendogs: Chihuahua and Friends

    Nintendogs: Dalmatian and Friends

    Nintendogs: Labrador Retriever and Friends

    Nintendogs: Miniature Dachshund and Friends

    Planet Puzzle League

    Pokemon Diamond

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness

    Pokemon Pearl

    Pokemon Ranger

    Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

    Super Mario 64 DS

    Or anything published after December 2008 from Nintendo.

    If you can help, drop me a pm

    I know what you are saying NorthRaider. But to be real to the RDM series of BSG, they would need to make a new sculpt Mark II. Here are some pics to show what I mean.

    TOS Viper:

    The Mini-flyer

    RDM Viper:

    The lines on the Classic Viper are far too sharp compared to what the re-imagined series Mark II would look like. I would feel cheated out if when I went to buy a RDM Viper Mark II, I end up walking away with an original series Viper in its place. I would rather have an accurate sculpt for my collectibles.

    I may be being a little too geek about this though.

    NorthRaider, I think it is more that they already had a prototype made and it would be a lot cheaper to go with what they already made then to sculpt something from scratch. Like the whole TRU BSG line are based off of old sculpts (the canceled waves). Hopefully these lines are selling well enough to get more ships and new characters. Time will tell I guess.

    Already sculpted circa this photo:

    I think it is from the NY Toyfair 2007. But I am not quite sure.

    ....... They've just released 'some anime(?)inspired '2 packs ....

    What anime (?) 2-packs? I have wanted to get some of these, but have yet to see a license I would want to buy. Do you mean the 2-pack for Pixar's Up?

    If there is a bad apple comics near where you are going, go there. I went last year and asked if they still had any promo's left and they gave me a couple sets. They are such a great store. I tried a couple other comic shops, but Bad Apple Comics was the best.
