    Minimate Theatre - Updated Every Monday - 2/17/14

    in Crisis of Infinite Minimates

    Loving the new X-Force comic!

    an Asylum Against Him was great too.

    Thanks for sharing em with us :)

    Thanks Nessex. There's another X-force comic on Monday and we'll be coming back to them again in about a month or so. We'll also be checking in on the Riddler now and then and pick up on what johnny Storm's been doing since he was fired.

    I'm glad you are enjoying these as all these random stories are actually leading to something.

    GI Joe 30th Anniversary

    in Other Toys & Collectables

    Posted

    I think the best thing about the 30th line is that it proves that something is possible-a big name company can do what fans want and do it well (and make money from it)..

    I've got to agree with the Groundhog. Gi Joe appears to have slowly shifted into a line primarily targeted at the hardcore collector. I'm not complaining but since POC slowly started this sales appear to be up as stores around me sold out often of Joes and the only ones still on the shelves are the common Snake Eyes and Destros that were stocked int he cases.

    I just hope the next movie doesn't take the line 2 steps back.

    I'll be getting most of these for sure. Most of my money has been going to Joe recently anyway. I'm really excited for the Zombie. Also, I love how Lifeline has a gun :D

    I believe Hasbro said the Zombie Viper is a "Variant" for the Hazard Viper. So I'm already worried about finding that one.

    I spent more on Joes in 2010 than I did on Minimates (and I even bought a Silver Spidey last year!). I started collecting 25th Anniv in 2009 when all of those figures went on clearance sales. Since then I've been army building loose lots of figures from Ebay and regularly raiding the discount stores. I am utterly hooked. I'm embarrassed to admit I have over 50 Vipers and several hundred Cobra blueshirts. I joined the Collector's Club too and I'll be signing up for the subscription figures.

    The 30th Anniv figures are looking amazing. I can't wait!

    I'm definitely in for the subscriptions. Nothing to be embarrassed about troop building. Hell the main reason I went to the con was to get the mission Brazil pack, I'm a huge Python Patrol fan and had to have those troopers.

    The characters that are in the style of the 25th Anniversary are pretty cool, but I'm not digging the majority of the Renegades redesigns. That Firefly, in particular, is very disappointing.

    I may get the Lifeline, Airtight, and Sci-Fi to go with my 25th Ann. collection.

    Are you also not a fan of the cartoon?

    I love the designs but mostly because they capture the look of the show. I won't display these with my other ME figures but they still have my attention.

    Oh and not sure if it's able to tell in the pics but Airtight's helmet is removable. Very excited for him.

    Hi all I decided to kick start a nerw thread for the upcoming 30th Anniversary line of Joe figures.

    I will state that I am biased as I'm a GI Joe Collectors Club member, big time fan and active over at the tank.

    I am super excited for the new 30th line starting this fall and was lucky enough to see them first hand at the CJoe Con in Orlando this past weekend.

    I could sit here all day trying to convert my minimate friends into Joe fans but I'll let the photos do the talking. So please feel free to checkout all the amazing new product that start the line in the Fall and sound off, I can't be the only real American hero on this board.

    WWE Rumblers

    in Hasbro Heroes

    I think WWE is second only to Star Wars in Minimate potential. Other then the problem Minifiend points out with the crotch, I think Minimates would capture wrestlers very well. The big problem with these new little guys is that they're all in static poses; who wants a wrestling toy that you can't wrestle with? Plus, Minimates are the perfect toy for adding and subtracting parts. I don't like most of Mattel's attempts to replicate entrance gear with cloth costumes; Minimates wouldn't have that problem.

    Once, when I was passing the time while driving somewhere, I worked out about 10 waves of WWE Minimates using a 80s/90s/now breakdown per wave. I think you could milk that property for quite awhile.

    I think even if DST only got the WWE Legends license they could have at least 10 years worth of waves.

    Perhaps a current line up for TRU and a Legends line up for comic shops?

    I know I'd buy everything.

    Wave 38 "Shadowland" series

    in Marvel Minimates

    Posted

    Just giving everybody a bit of an UPDATE. Hope your wallets are at the ready, cause besides the Excalibur boxed set and Marvel wave 39 shipping next week, you can add Marvel wave 38 to that list too. This has been confirmed from several sources including my comic book shop and other online retailers. So much for DST spreading out the releases.

    Very happy when it's a very minimate week.
