Big Ape

Just get a spare DC golden age Flash and use his arms. It's a pretty good match.

Hi,

Will you try to finish Star Trek bridge crews that you have already started on? I'd really like to have finished Next Generation and Wrath of Khan crews.

Thanks for your time.

In a 'this is how I'd fill out 8 waves' not a 'this would've saved the line' manner, these are my changes:

wave 1: Omac for Mr. Freeze, Star Sapphire for Sinestro

wave 2: Brainiac for 80's Brainiac

wave 3: Ocean Master for Black Manta, battle damaged Batman for Ras Al Ghul

wave 4: Cyborg Superman for Doomsday, Golden Age Flash for Martian Manhunter & Wildcat for Darkseid

wave 5: Mary for Red Tornado, Red Tornado for modern Robin & Ma Hunkel for Two-Face, Guy Gardner for John Stewart

wave 6: Battle damaged Wonder Woman for Solomon Grundy, Stargirl for Scarecrow and STRIPE for Com. Gordon

wave 7: Ambush Bug for Guy Gardner

wave 8: Sinestro for Kyle Rayner & Salaak for Parallax, Question for Beast Boy & Batwoman for Wonder Girl, Red Son Superman for Alfred & RS Wonder Woman for Poison Ivy

Heh someone likes their GL's!

But even with those changes you don't have Alan Scott. Also we've already had Jon Stewart... perhaps that answers itself then?

T.

Actually, as long as I have Hal, I'm good with my GL's. In fact if anything I'd throw in more Batman related characters just because I like Batman the best. My thinking was if they gave me the current roster for 8 waves of DC Minimates and asked me to fine tune it with more main/known characters.

I didn't include Alan Scott because I wouldn't see the need in a couple of Golden Age characters among a bunch of modern characters.

Yeah, we have John Stewart but in a cartoon design rather than in line with the rest of the Minimates.

I should've put Firestorm in there somewhere. Hmmm.

yep might as well move the DC section to the "minimates past" area. After 8 this is done.

Now I am curious how many people will actually buy wave 8 now. I mean I will because i want the mates, but how many will let em hang on the shelves?

If they're talking about canceling the line because sales are down, it would be an awful shame to prove them right with wave 8.

I'll be the first to admit the character selection in this wave isn't ideal. But it could be our last chance to show DCD that these will move.

Lets be honest...the petition didnt get enough signautres to even present it to DCD. The majority of the people that were up in arms at first have since died down (present company excluded). The wave 8 is the weakest of all of the lines thus far. I had to BEG my LCBS to order the wave. The sales of the final wave will not be a banner to rebirth the line. In fact, if anything it will prove their point, that they just didn't sell as well as they wanted.

Now having said that, do i think the new line they are focusing on (6.75 line) will do well? Probably, I know I can not find any of the Mattel stuff easily. DCD is always easy to find at my LCBS (and ones around the country i have visited)

It was a good fight, but i am afraid it is over.

I am just glad we got what we did. I mean some toy lines don't even get this much and this much variety.

I am reminded of the recent Jericho tv show. rating were low they cancelled it. The fans (a huge number mind you) sent in protest (i forgot how many lbs of peanuts). So CBS put it back on the schedule, and then NO ONE watched it again and they cancelled it again.

If they're looking for an excuse to end the line with poor sales, wave 8 will do it. I want three out of the eight. The others I don't know anything about or couldn't care less about. It makes me sad for all the other characters we could have gotten instead of battle damaged variations or totally obscure characters. I'd gladly give back odd variants or the Ma Hunkel's of the line for Two-Face, Modern Robin, Martian Manhunter and so on. . .

(by the way, is it just me, or is the Willem Dafoe mate really ugly)

That's because Willem Dafoe IS ugly.

Age of Apocalypse Wolverine

I would like Minimates from:

300

Shaun of the Dead

Hot Fuzz

Monty Python & The Holy Grail

Indiana Jones

and while I'm dreaming, Star Wars

. . . .and lots of generic zombies.

Lots and lots of zombies.

Green Goblin / Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man movie versions)

Sabretooth (classic)

Gambit

Deadpool

Beast (90's)

Storm (90's)

Psylocke

Kraven

Lizard

J Jonah Jameson

Please tell me these are gonna be going into production? Anyone else want Torchwood Minimates?

Just a boxed set, Captain Jack, Owen, Gwen, Tosh, Ianto.

Anyone?

Heck yeah. Put me down for a set.

a klingon warrior box set set

romulan star empire box set

borg box set

Definitely some possibilities! If they stuck with the 5-figure format of the Mirror, Mirror set:

Romulans:

Commander Sela

Commander Tomalok

Commander Toreth (Face of the Enemy)

Commander Donatra (Nemesis)

Troi as a Romulan

Borg:

Borg Queen

Hugh Borg

Seven of Nine (full borg)

Picard as Locutus

Icheb

Klingons:

Gowron

Lursa

B'Etor

Duras

K'ehleyr

Ferengi:

Quark

Nog

Rom

Moogie

Grand Nagus

Cardassians:

Garak

Seska

Tora Ziyal

Damar

Gilora

I also wouldn't mind seeing some of the characters in earlier uniforms like TNG S1, & DS9's earlier outfits, since i imagine that most, if not all, won't get a variant like Capt. Sisko.

My choices for:

TNG season 1 box set

No-beard Riker

Tasha Yar

Red uniform Geordi

Red uniform, short hair Worf

Black slime alien (I forget the name) that killed Yar

and my choices for wave 6:

- Riker / Troi

- Data / Geordi

- Ferengi / Romulan

variant: casual uniform Troi

and wave 7:

- Worf / Dr. Crusher

- TMP Kirk / TMP Sulu

- TWOK Spock / TWOK McCoy

variant: radiation burn Spock

I understand sending a message with your money, but what do you do with all the extra Minimates you've got when it's all over? Say I run out and buy a ton of wave 8 and they don't go any further than that. If I don't customize I'm stuck with a bunch of figures I really only wanted one of in the first place, lost money and space, and have nothing new to look forward to. The only thing worse than not having that one character you were dying for, is having bought twenty of a character you didn't feel one way or the other about just to beg for more and get nothing.

I don't want to be a downer, but I think what others are doing by cancelling other DCD orders is the better way of getting the point across. I'm sure that I'm not the only one that has bought several multiples of 'mates for display, MOC, bashes and parts in the past. If DC Minimates haven't proved themselves a success by now, they won't.

Since I've always liked Batman the most:

Black & Grey Batman / Ras Al Ghul

Mr. Freeze / Two-Face

Scarecrow / Poison Ivy

modern Robin / Alfred

I hope they wouldn't be goofy enough to stop the DC mates just to try to get people started on another line that may or may not last when it seems like they've already got a winner.

I hope wave 8 isn't the last. To me, it would seem like the line is going out on a low note. We still need so many more characters. What a shame if it's true.

Nice I like the way we are getting stuff that spans most of the trek franchises. I'm not a mega trekkie but it seems to me the only one missing from that wave to cover all the bases is a Voyager minimate.

And an Enterprise minimate

Cool line-up overall. I'm excited for the movie and original series Minimates. I've never been a fan of DS9 and would rather have more TNG instead, but I'm sure I'll buy them just the same. Damn little plastic people...

Cool. These look badass and can not wait. Bring on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

I really like how this set looks right now and I hope DST does more episode/movie sets. Maybe they should take the sash from the Mirror, Mirror set, paint it purple, add Spock, slashed-shirt Kirk, a couple of bladed q-tip weapons, T'Pau, Spock's intended lady and a Vulcan guard and...presto!...it's an Amok Time set. :biggrin:

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I wonder if Mirror, Mirror Scotty, McCoy and Chekov will be future variants....

Do we think he has an outfit on under that ponco? Or is that why there's two versions of him?

It looks like the little bit of blue shirt and vest are raised as high as the collar of the poncho so it's probably a single colored torso block under there.

I just want some damn horses to go with these!

I think someone discovered that Lego Horses are a pretty good fit

Yeah, but I want a minimate horse as I'm sure it'd be waaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler than the Lego horses. . .

What I'd like for wave 4:

Green Shirt Kirk / Yeoman Rand

Nurse Chapel / Sick Bay McCoy

Romulan / Mugato

variant: Hell, I don't care. I'm sure I'll buy whatever it is. . . .

Cappy, Where'd you scoop these?

My LCS -- I'm West Coast. The rest of the States should be getting them (and the new 24 stuff) in today!

What are those white things? I wondered that briefly myself, even seeing them in person. I'll get the detailed pics up and you can tell me...

They look like ice skate feet. . . .

thats it, Big Ape wins the 100% offical minimate multiverse no prize for the day

WOO HOO!
