    DC Minimates 8 pics

    in DC & C3 Minimates

    Posted

    I wasn't going to get the Red Son figures, but I think that Superman face is about 100 times better than the one that came with wave 1 Supes.

    I agree, wave 8 supes looks like the classic fleschier cartoon superman, where as wave 1 supes reminds me for some reason of brandon routh from superman returns

    Incidently, JLU created a lot of new Question fans, and he was really poised to be the breakout character from 52. So what did they do? They killed him. Brilliant. :verymad:

    I totally agree, he was one of the best JLU charecters, I was really excited he would be a main charecter in 52 only to see him die (though i didnt realise at the time, it wasnt really clear, he was just lying face down in the snow on a mountain :(

    Finally got them today as well. Raven in AWESOME! Easily became my favorite DC Minimate. All in all a good series, but I still can't get over the fact that I will, at least for the foreseeable future, not be getting a Beast Boy to finish off the "animated" team =( *sigh*

    How right you are, if only we could have had a 2 pack of beast boy and terra, then we would have has most of the classic 80's titans (except wondergirl)

    overall I really liked this wave, though its a shame it got cancelled so soon

    Why no Red Skull minimate?

    in Marvel Minimates

    Posted

    Ok, I would like to clear up something here.

    This was supposed to be a simple question about why the red skull hasnt been released yet, considering his popularity in the comics.

    I didnt want a mass debate over Nazism, and in no way do I endorse or support nazism in any way, shape or form.

    Inregards of an actual minimate though, if DST didnt want to make a red skull with nazi symbols etc, couldnt he just be in a basic business suit or what he wore in the animated spider-man series?(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c7/Gauntletofredskull.jpg)

    Why no Red Skull minimate?

    in Marvel Minimates

    Posted

    Something struck me recently regarding the marvel minimates

    How is it that DST have never released a minimate of the red skull? I mean, he is one of the most popular marvel villains

    Has a reason ever been given? I thought it was wierd that Captain America was released with both the absorbing man and the rhino, neither of which are his main enemies?

    Does anyone know

    Back to the Future New Exclusive 2 pack!

    in TV, Movie, & Video Game Minimates

    Posted

    Here's the list of suggestions we forwarded to DST about a month or so before "Wave 3" was even announced:

    4-Packs:

    • BTTF3 "Wave 3" 4-Pack Boxed Set with "Western Marty McFly", "Western Doc Brown" with high-powered riffle, Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen, and Clara Clayton with telescope.
    • BTTF1 "Wave 4" 4-Pack Boxed Set with "Radiation Suit Marty McFly" with video camera, "Radiation Suit Doc Brown" with plutonium case, Mr. Strickland and Jennifer Parker.
    • BTTF2 "Wave 5" 4-Pack Boxed Set including Griff, Data, Whitey & Spike, all with their corresponding hoverboards.
    • BTTF3 "Wave 6" 4-Pack Boxed Set with "Clint Eastwood Marty McFly" with boots, "1955 Doc Brown" with pistol, Seamus McFly, and Maggie McFly with baby William McFly.
    • BTTF2 "Wave 7" 4-Pack Boxed Set including "2015 Marty McFly" with fired fax or blue guitar, Marty McFly Jr., Marlene McFly with headphone set, and Lorraine McFly with hydrated pizza.
    2-Packs:
    • BTTF1 "Battle of the Bands" Exclusive 2-Pack including Marty McFly with guitar and "Huey Lewis" (teacher) with megaphone.
    • BTTF: The Ride "Institute of Future Technology" Exclusive 2-Pack including "Labcoat Doc Brown" with remote control and "1955 Biff Tannen" with wrench.
    Obviously, there are plenty of other combinations of other characters, but we felt that these were probably among the top choices which would make sense at a commercial level. Had "Clara Clayton" been included in 'Wave 3', we would have had that set nailed dead-on!

    Wow, they all sound like great minimates, I hope we see more BTTF mates in the future (not a pun!) especially of Mr Strickland and Radiation Suit Marty AKA Darth Vader!.

    Also I cant wait for old Biff, I preordered it already-hes my favourite charecter in the whole BTTF trilogy!

    End of Day Stretcher Jack and Prisoner Nina

    End of Day Jack and Andre

    End of Day Jack and Stephen Saunders

    24 Day 2 Set

    Have any of these actually come out yet? And if so does anyone know when the should get realeased in the UK?

    Back to the Future 3 ideas?

    in TV, Movie, & Video Game Minimates

    Posted

    Hi guys, I just go the BTTF 1 set and have seen the pics for wave 2 (based on BTTF 2). I was wondering if we will get a set for BTTF 3?

    If we did who would it be? Im thinking:

    1885 Marty

    1885 Doc

    'Mad Dog' Tannen

    Clara

    Any one else have any ideas? Also does anyone think we will get minimates of Jennifer, Old 2015 Biff or Strickland (or his awesome alternate 1985 shotgun wielding version?)

    Or howabout an alternate 1985 boxset- with Shotgun Strickland, Lorraine Baines-Mcfly-Tannen, Biffs bodygaurd (like 3d glasses guy) and Commited Doc in straight-jacket

    What does everyone think?

    Any chance of HEROES minimates?

    in TV, Movie, & Video Game Minimates

    Posted

    I was wondering now we seem to be getting more TV show based minimates if there was a chance of DST releasing minimates based on tv show heroes?

    I think they would sell well given heroes popularity at the moment.

    Some ideas for 2packs we could get, including some ides for chases as well:

    Peter and Nathan Petrelli (CHASE-'Overload' Peter)

    Hiro and Ando (CHASE-Time power hiro-when he scrunches up his face or Future Hrio)

    Claire and Mr Bennet (CHASE-Injured/regeneration Claire)

    Nikki and DL (CHASE-Jessica)

    Sylar and Mohinder (CHASE-Gabrial Gray)

    Issac Mendez and Matt Parkman (CHASE-headless Issac?)

    Ted Sprague and Claude-(CHASE-Nuclear Ted or Invisible claude?)

    What does everyone think? Is there a chance for this to happen? Also what charecters/chases o you think would be good?

    Loose hands?

    in Crisis of Infinite Minimates

    Posted

    I was wondering if anyone has this problem, it is when the hands of the minimates fall out of the hole (at the wrist), it happens to both 2 and 3 inch MiniMates that I have

    Is there a way to fix this? I was thinking of something like bluetack, but does anyone else have any ideas?

    Posted

    if we get a Cavil and AA make a star trek wave about enterprise we get archer to meaning we have our own minimate version of Sam and Al from Quantum Leap :lol:

    Now thats just about the coolest thing I've read on these boards... QL would make an excellent Minimate line.

    Thanks Rheul, id love a QL line, maybe just a 2 pack of sam and al (with the Star trek tricorder doubling as ziggy)

    P.S. when is wave 3 supposed to get released?

    BSG wave 1 variant question

    in TV, Movie, & Video Game Minimates

    Posted

    Hi guys, while looking on wikipedia I came across something about the BSG minimates, it says that the variant (white dress) of number six is shelly godfrey from series 1, is that true? I thought it was just 6 that was on caprica monitoring helo (with the red dress one being the 6 in bltars mind)

    also if you look at this picture http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/bmz_cache...age.192x200.jpg is the variant supposed to be barefoot? she dosent appear to have shoes/sandals like the other ones

    does anyone know?

    Wave 5 Green Lanterns

    in DC & C3 Minimates

    Posted

    Well funnily enough according to wikipedia:

    Gardner was rescued from the phantom zone, but suffered brain damage and was rendered comatose for a number of years

    and then during the crisis on infinite earths:

    Gardner's brain damage manifested itself in the form of an arrogant, violent, unstable, and often childish new personality

    So maybe its a tribute to that?

    So many GL's, Who's next?

    in DC & C3 Minimates

    Posted

    Maybe a 2pack of Hal-Parrallax and Kyle-Parrallax.

    Also Kyle in his first costume (his best IMO) maybe packed with Alan Scott (JSA costume) -Like in Emerald Twilight or maybe a 1st apperance Kyle with a 2.5 inch Mongul (based on thier fight in emerald twilight)

    Also now that we have had a cyborg-superman maybe a variant in his sinestro-corps uniform?

    Hopefully we'll get many more GLs and Sinestro corps for a while (and what about a couple of guardians?)

    first minimate you ever got

    in Crisis of Infinite Minimates

    Posted

    I think the first mates I bought were at my local comic shop, they had some loose spiderman minis and bought a couple for my brother (I think it was Spiderman/Peter Parker, Green Goblin and Venom).

    Then a short while later I found a post office near my workplace and they had a ton of the c3 flyers and the batcave which were reduced! Then later I found some more C3 stuff at my local Toys R Us

    However my collecting fully started with the release of the DC minimates, and slowly but surly I have been collecting the backlog of marvel minimates I missed first time round :D
