My picks (if we assume it will be 5 more 2-Packs): Seelix & Crashdown Racetrack & "Natalie" Six Billy Keikaya & Dualla in Officer Uniform Lt. Hoshi & "Razor" Helena Cain Prophet Baltar & Gaeta w/ Peg-leg

You think Hotdog and Racetrack are more compelling than Romo Lampkin? There has been more character development for Romo in one episode than Hotdog and Racetrack have had combined over the course of the entire series. Here is Romo's hit list: Not to mention I met him at NYCC last weekend and he's a hell of a nice guy. Hotdog and Racetrack are just scenery compared to Lampkin. I apoligize for the rant. Lampkin doesn't do much for me, either. And while I agree that Racetrack has always been an undeveloped background character, there are a few other pilots I'd love to see before Lampkin - Seelix, Hot Dog and Crashdown have all had huge moments during the series, and I would like to see them (although Crashdown & Seelix haven't been planned at any point, so far as I can tell - aside from the supposed Racetrack minimate looking more like Seelix than Racetrack to me).

Yeah - I had hoped to use the Sherry Palmer head, but then discovered she'd never been released. Big-time bummer. Also a bummer for any Trek fans - the actor who played Sherry Palmer also played Kassiday Yates, Sisko's girlfriend on DS9.

Thanks a lot, guys. I really appreciate the quick answers. And I can't believe I forgot Dualla (she's one of the 'mates I definitely have). I also forgot about movie storm. And the Kat ponytail is another good suggestion. Thanks again!

Hey folks - I've spent a significant amount of time poring through the minimate database. I'm looking for an african-american female head. Are there any others, aside from Uhura & Storm? Also, does anybody know if there is a hairpiece which either is or resembles dreadlocks (in a ponytail)? Thanks muchly - Kassle

I am pretty sure that they mixed up the heads on D'Anna & Natalie. The current head they have on D'Anna looks a lot like the apps they tend to use on 6 (eyebrows in particular) and the head on Natalie looks a lot like Lucy Lawless to me. As for the rest, I think Doral's outfit is kinda odd. I've never been a Simon or Hot Dog fan. Nice that we're getting Racetrack. Wish we were also getting Seelix. Prophet Baltar's likeness is kinda off. The rest are all pretty great. Aside from Billy, I think DST has given us pretty much every major character from BSG...which is pretty frakking amazing.

I'm a little disappointed they've gone from 5 figures down to 4 figures in a set. Even a retread of one of the Cylon robots would've been something. However, I am super excited about this set - ELLEN! LEOBEN! Two fantastic, much-needed additions to the BSG 'mates. Yay! As far as main characters go - we're really only missing a few: Natalie Six, Tory Foster, Anders and Cavill are the only top-tier characters that come to mind who haven't been produced from recent seasons. There are also some supporting folks I'd like to see before the line ends: Billy, Simon, Doral and Seelix.

I got Christine Chapel & Dr. McCoy yesterday. I gotta say - Chapel is the purtiest lil 'mate in my collection. I really love the way her face & hair came out And the blue really complements the other colors. The dress itself looks pretty damn cute, too. She & Bones are now on my desk at work, ready to attend to any emergencies.

I'd like to see a Tasha with either of the following variants: Tasha Yar / Tasha Yar "Yesterday's Enterprise" Tasha Yar / Commander Sela

Chapel is LOVELY! Looking forward to Rand, so that my TOS crew will be complete. :biggrin:

Does anybody have CHAPEL pics? yeesh!

PICS!!!!! Pleasey? Agreed! I wanna see Christine!

Yeah - looks like the new Six head/hair combo to me, too. Not-so-interesting choice - wonder why they bothered.

So, after your thrilling rant you couldn't at least come up with a wishlist?

So, knowing that BSG will be showing 11 episodes in '08, and 11 in '09, it seems like our BSG 'mates may continue to have life in them since the series is still on the air for another year (which is the ONLY positive I can derive from the way that SciFi drags these seasons out). Cylons: "Natalie" Six Tory Anders Cavil Leoben Doral Simon (least interested in him, but I guess we might as well have 'em all) Humans: Ellen Tigh Billy Kekaya Diana Seelix Crashdown Hot Dog Racetrack But yeah - I gotta have a Natalie Six, a Tory, an Anders & A Leoben. Throw in Ellen Tigh, and I'm pretty happy.

Okay. I retract my previous post of annoyance about your post of annoyance. I am a Madonna fan. And I heart Minimates (they are the only toys in my collection I did not sell off when I recently EBayed EVERYTHING). So, we exist!! (The Madonna/Mate fans).

You seem like a whiney creep. Just sayin'...

Loves 'em!

My LCS got these in a few weeks ago. Fun little figure, although she is sorta off (and I only remark that she is "off", because most of the BSG mates are so "on"). Her hair was redder on the show, and they sorta gave her...elf ears.

Hmmm...for TOS I'd like to see: The Cage - Number One Yeoman Colt Talosian Dr. Boyce TOS - Lt. Kyle Lt. Leslie Dr. Ann Mulhall - Young Diana Muldaur! Koloth Kor M'Benga Harry Mudd Animated Series M'ress Arex

How can the addition of President Roslin leave you cold? She's one of the central characters in th BSG universe! :biggrin:

Kat is already hitting? Awesome. My lil BSG army just keeps growing! This will only leave the Razor sets...and then what? I sure hope they can find some great Season 4 characters/variations and give us another wave or two!

Why do both of the Six's & Gina have brown eyes? Can somebody tell Matt to correct this, stat?

Hafta agree about BSG. Six has 7 variants, but a number of them are actually different entities, (Six in the Red Dress, Caprica Six, Gina, "Razor" Six w/ the white coat) - so it works. Kobol Six is pretty much a variant on Six in the Red Dress, but it is a look from the first season finale in which she potentially foretold a prophecy. Important stuff, and fine by me as a variant. Gina's upcoming 2nd version from the "Razor" line is welcome, for me. It's a look she sported for a miniseries, and depicts her in her Pegasus uniform! The only Six that seems like overkill to me thus far is the upcoming Dead Six in the white coat. Not sure about that one at all... Athena/Boomer has two versions - but again, these represent two different (and very important) characters. Starbuck & Apollo's variants are great - in their two main uniforms: Pilot/Dress Blues. Outfits we've seen them in quite a bit. Baltar is probably the only BSG retread I think is a little maxed out, at this point. The first version was great, and I surely don't mind the version of him in a lab coat that is arriving in Series 4. But I think the miniseries variant is sorta pushing it. Now we have two Baltar's in suits. Um...wahoo? Aside from Baltar & the upcoming Dead Six in the white coat from "Razor", I think every figure in the BSG line up has been a solid pick. As for Trek? The Mirror, Mirror variants of the main crew (Kirk, Spock, Uhura & Sulu) are really great choices. A memorable episode, and memorable looks for the main cast. I surely wouldn't mind seeing more boxed sets like this, if DST wants to give us continued variants of characters like Kirk & Spock (Maybe "Plato's Stepchildren" w/ Kirk, Spock, Uhura & Chapel in their greek garb?). I also don't mind getting characters in their Dress Uniforms (Although we sure do have quite a few already - Kirk, Spock, McCoy), or alternate uniforms (Sisko from Season 1). I mean - I'm not picking them up, but I can see why other collectors would think those variants were important. I can even roll with Kirk in his green "casual shirt" that he wore a number of times...but "Bread & Circuses" Kirk and "Spock's Brain" Spock seem a little on the ridiculous side to me. Neither was a particularly important episode or an important look for the character. And, regardless, BSG has four waves, several box sets (plus two more box sets based on "Razor"), a few exclusives (Toyfair Starbuck and the upcoming Kat exclusive)...it makes sense at this point to have a few duplications of the main characters at this point. But Trek is still SO early - we're only on Wave 3! Way too early for this many Kirks & Spocks (and the ones we've seen headed our way for waves 4 & 5). Yikes. I just went on...and on...and on!

Thanks for the pics! Roslin & Doc Cottle are both FANTASTIC likenesses. Cally's hair is odd. I don't remember her bangs ever being that short. I also think of her hair as quite a bit darker. Oh well. I don't much care for the character anyway, so if they're going to get somebody wrong - I don't mind it being her. ;-) A little bored by the multitudes of Kirks & Spocks. This is the kind of wave that kills momentum in a line. DST would've been much better served to place Chapel & Rand in this wave - or Number One and a Talosian from "The Cage" to go with Pike & Vina.
