  1. No problem my'man. Honestly, I don't think that Minimates are gonna work too well with them. The 'Joes are pretty thin looking. I doubt that a clunk block figure will fit into the "cockpits" too well, but we'll see.

    I'm sure that once I see some of these, I'll have to get them. Right now, though, I'm holding fast that I won't...

  2. While there is nothing like a block in a box, I love the blister packs...

    Unfortunately, I've never seen a DC Direct product at retail other than Suncoast, Sam Goody or Musicland. They're all gone now. I think these are going to mostly be Comic Shop stock, and Marvel seems to do alright with the boxes there.

    If they're going to put these into retail stores, then they definately need to go with the blister packs. Kids? Hell, I like to see what I'm buying before I buy it...

  3. I'd love to see a Ultimates 2 boxed set with a Liberators follow up.

    Heck I'd buy just about any boxed set if it had the proper amount if new charcters.

    New Characters? You don't want another six Spideys or Wolverines?

    How about a Clone Saga box set with four or five different Spideys? That's be awesome!

  4. As of now, I'm planning on sitting out on the 2.5" stuff. What drew me into the Sigma 6 stuff was the cool as hell 8" figures. They've got a ton more articulation that the 3.75" line that I loved as a kid, and they're just fun to play with. I don't think that the little guys have much, if any, articulation and while the vehicles are indeed awesome, I don't really need them for my Minimates.

    If we had G.I. Joe Minimates, it would be a different matter. I just don't think Spidey needs a HISS Tank to drive around...

  5. Help!

    I'm currently finishing up some commissions for people, and am at a lost as to what I want to make for myself next.

    When they quit making C3 figures, I figured that I'd start making my own Justice League to flesh out the line. I loved the cartoon, and they weren't going to make them, so I did. The pending release of actual official DC Minimates has left me dis-hearted and with no wish to continue my line.

    Here's where you, the loyal members of Minimate Multiverse get to choose what figures I do next. I've picked three teams from each of the big companies that I would love to have, and that there's not a big chance of getting officially.

    Vote away. The winning team will start getting figures by year's end...

    Thanks.

  6. That's pretty cool, Kel. Did the regular figure come with the extra arm pieces, or did you have to use another kit? What do these come with "out of the box"? Any pics of a full unbuilt kit that you could post?

  7. I ordered and paid for two sets of blanks on May 31st. A couple of Fridays back, since I hadn't gotten the figures yet, I gave them a call to e what was going on. The guy that handles that wasn't in, but whoever answered the phone was quite helpful, and took my name and info and said that they would get back to me "No later than Monday."

    Monday came and went, and I heard nothing. I called again on Tuesday. Same guy answered the phone. Guy that handles that wasn't in. He'll call me Wednesday...

    Wednesday, no call. I call them. Guy that handles it is running an errand. He'll call me when he gets back... No call...

    Thursday, I e-mail them a nice, polite letter explaining my situation and that nobody has returned any of my three calls. I decide to give them a couple of days to get back to me before I report it as fraudulant to PayPal.

    I just logged into my PayPal account to start the refund process. There's a new shipping information button attached to the transaction. On Thursday, June 22nd, they finally sent notice that there would be a package coming... Still, nothing's shipped. They've just told PayPal that it's coming...

    I'm less than pleased with Bad Apple comics. If I don't have a package by Wednesday, I'll be calling them. I can't believe that it's taken this long for them to ship these out.

    I know UK members have had some issues with these guys. Has anyone in the US had any problems?
