this is dress uniform scotty: http://tf08.figures.com/showphoto.php?photo=1001 well, at least i think it is. thats engineering scotty from twok, all he needs is a dead cadet "he stayed at his post, while the other cadet's ran" and here http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/wp...ir08/rocky3.jpg you can just about see packaged shot of wave 3 under the rocky 3 minimates! I'm just stoked to get a hard drinking aged Scotty & a hard-eating, even harder-lovin' and cheekily rotund Captain Kirk Bring on the Stargate movie 'mates then i'd have James Spader as Daniel Jackson so i'd have a fighting chance of doing those Boston Legal 'mates I've always dreamed of lol! Edit: Ohh Ohh A Kurt Russell as Jack O'Neill for a wee Snake Plissken and a Richard Dean Anderson as Jack O'Neill for a kick-ass wee Macgyver!!!

I don't usually pick up Marvel 'mates but both of those waves are a must! The IM movie line looks like Proto-Mk 1 Armour/Captured Tony, Civvies Rhodey/Cruel,Heartless Arms Exec Tony, Modular Mk2 armour with Tony details/Virginia "Pepper" Potts & Mk 2 Armour/Ironmonger. WOO! All in all a top lineup, Add Nova/Gamorra & War Machine/Spymaster (Not really fussed about Cloak & Dagger though), Star Trek Series 4 & 5, BTTF 2 & 3, DC Series 8 & Platoon 'mates and you've got the equivalent of a junkie being given a blind eye, a syringe and the key to the police evidence room for a couple of hours.... :biggrin: My wife is currently looking for a good divorce lawyer BTW Any ideas?

i'm looking forward to customizing him into a dead nude autopsy skrull from the secret invasion promo pages Ambush Bug! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I thought it was 70's Neal Adams Batman?

Holy sh*t! That's brilliant! BTW Am i the only one who's desperate for the Ambush Bug mini? :biggrin:

Mirror Chekov would have to come with a Agoniser Booth to put him in.

No. We cannot post pics from this newsletter. People can sign up - it's free to do so and DST doesn't bombard you with needless spam, so folks might as well sign up to be a Radical. Sorry, I did'nt realise, Won't do it again...

Am I allowed to post the picture from the newsletter for the folks that don't subscribe? Or will I get into trouble?

These are AWESOME!! I totally love Evil-Sulu, All ready to sexually harass Not-So-Evil-Uhura some more...

Sorry, my mistake. It's called "Alternate 1985 Biff Tannen" on the package. I'm fired. Why don't you make like a tree, and get outta here! ps. Great pics! Hey! Leave the poor guy alone.... You know what you are. Bean? You're as much use as a screen-door on a battleship!! Sorry, Had to be done...

Hey 'Wink! You get these from Limited Edition? Any idea If they have any left?

I'll second that request...Just received my Trek series 2 mates from Winkerbeans LCS after his recommendation, Can't thank Paul enough for the great customer service and prompt delivery, Totally my UK shop of choice from now on...

Hell! You can NEVER have enough Daggits!! are'nt there different coloured one's in the show???? I think Muffitt was the prototype for a robot scout daggit

Hell! You can NEVER have enough Daggits!!

Here's the thing.... I was thrilled yet strangely depressed when I saw the the pics of the Retro Galactica packs, Why? I hear you ask... Because, They come with Starbuck in his dress finest and not his regular Colonial uniform, G.U.T.T.E.D! Will anyone else be buying more than one Colonial pack In order to have a Starbuck with a flight uniform and an Apollo with a dress uniform? Any other ideas circulating about retro custom jobs out there?

Lol! A dude after my own heart, Winkerbean! I'd saw off my grans leg for the 'Team' in minimate form... What other francise could they do that would give us a George Peppard figure? Battle Beyond The Stars maybe? Battle Beyond The Stars Course, then you'd have to start making a crazy Man From U.N.CL.E./Waltons/Banacek crossover collection as well...I'm not really sure that'd sit well with my mental stability, lol!

They're almost finished with the core cast of TOS with wave 3 (The lack of aliens/adversaries is a little odd, I would rather have had a kick-ass wee Romulan centurion rather than Vina bundled with Kirk, Technically I think she should have shipped with Pike, given their history together, although Trek would'nt be Trek without a smokin' hot green babe for the Mini-Shat to mack on :biggrin: ), So logically they need to now go Classic Movies, TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise, so every subsequent 2 or 3 waves would concentrate on a specific show, My ideal choice for Wave 4 + 5 would probably be a mix of seasons 1-7 of TNG: Choices include... Capt Picard (Variant Captains casual uniform from Darmok)/Q (In Judges robes) Commander Riker/Cmdr La Forge (wt Toolkit) Lt Data (With Spot the cat)/1st Appearance Ferengi Gowron/Lt Worf (Both Sculpted ridges and Worf variant wt Klingon armour) Dr Crusher/Wesley Crusher (wt variant Zombie edition :tongue: ) Commander Sela/Reunification Spock Lt Cmdr Deanna Troi/Borg Drone Lt Tasha Yar/Guinan Dr Pulaski/Lt Reginald Barclay Ensign Ro Laren/Lt Tom Riker

That's great, Winkerbean, You could'nt message me the details for your LCS so I can give them a shot?

Hey I've been trying to get the series 2 Trek mates here in the UK and tried to order then from Forbidden Planet and Starstore online but seeing as I only have a debit card and no cheque book forbidden planet won't take my payment and Starstore were out of stock And before anyone suggests eBay, The only ones I can see are in the US or Canada and it'll take over 2 weeks to come from the States and potentially over 2 months from Canada!! Can anyone suggest a UK based web store or LCS that sells mates and accepts Paypal, or would anyone be kind enough to pick me up a set (I'm not fussed about the Sulu variant) and send them out to me... I'm based in Edinburgh, Scotland so any advice would be great! Cheers Folks "Help Me Minimates Central, You're My Only Hope!"

Hell Yeah! Now all we need is a Banacek 'mate and we're all set... (Sorry, Showing my age there!)

I really like them, The facial detail is a little too simple for me, although you can still tell who the character is meant to be, (Scotty needs to cheer the f**k up tho' ) but...They really need to diversify into the other ST properties in order to keep fans happy, They're almost finished with the core cast of TOS with wave 3 (The lack of aliens/adversaries is a little odd, I would rather have had a kick-ass wee Romulan centurion rather than Vina bundled with Kirk, Technically I think she should have shipped with Pike, given their history together Vina), So logically they need to now go Classic Movies, TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise, so every subsequent 2 or 3 waves would concentrate on a specific show, My choice for Wave 4 + 5 would probably be a mix of seasons 1-7 of TNG: Capt Picard/Q (In Judges robes) Commander Riker/Cmdr La Forge (wt Toolkit) Lt Data (With Spot the cat)/1st Appearance Ferengi Gowron/Lt Worf (Both Sculpted ridges and Worf variant wt Klingon armour) Dr Crusher/Wesley Crusher (wt variant Zombie edition ) Commander Sela/Reunification Spock Or something like that..

Nice pictures.. All in all, I like this series but I think the Gorn should have shoulders, maybe a chest piece with the tunic(?) sculpted on and green pads for the shoulders, It just looks a little off with the tunic just hanging there Also, the hair for Chekov just isn't looking right, He needs to have a do' thats a little more bowl-cut with a flick because he was always supposed to look like teen heart-throb Monkee Davy Jones to attract the hip, groovy youngsters..See.. Chekov..The Truth!! Just my 2 cents, I'll still be buying them when they arrive at my LCS

Mayhap that's why people have such a strong attraction to the site? The appeal of the site for me is just that, I like the fact that Central can review a toy and not be afraid to point out the faults instead of being slavishly fanboyish like some sites, Looking forward to the DC reviews btw..Good going!

It's all working fine for me?

Hey Not sure if this is the right part of the forum to post this but here goes... Do the guys behind the ever wonderful and recently rejuvenenated Minimates Central ever plan to do reviews of the DC, Star Trek, 24, Fistful of Dollars etc 'Mates? It's great to see them featured in the Minimate Headquarters database, but the full reviews are so great and informative on Central, Or will it just be Marvel, C3 and early licences for the foreseeable future? I know It's probably a case of lack of funds and possible limited availability of minimates, but i'd love to see them review the other lines, Pipe dream...or...Potential joy for all?
