    So… Why do you collect minimates?

    in Crisis of Infinite Minimates

    Posted

    I haven't collected any action figures before, after I spent my childhood with Masters, Star Wars, MASK, GI Joe, etc. I was clean for over a decade and then I stumbled upon a pic in the internet, showing a tiny LEGO man looking just like Captain America who happened to be able to strap his shield on his back. Frack me, the desire for that guy struck me from nowhere. Of course I figured out that you couldn't buy this guy here in Germany. Anyway. A little research later, I found out about Minimates and picked up the Invaders set off of eBay. (Newbie, I know.) And damn, that guy rocked. The details were amazing, the interchangable parts just great and the articulation superb. I only needed that one little figure...

    Then I stumbled upon this forum. Learned about customizing, which I actually never thought about before, since I haven't bought any figure for ages. Customs got me seriously hooked. The possibilities are incredible. I was able to have all figures from every minor story/movie/comic/cartoon I wanted. Just great.

    So I usually collect characters that I like from all different lines and figures that offer a high potential for customization.

    But, as some have already mentioned before, without this community, I wouldn't have stayed as long as I did so far.

    I have no idea who all the dudes and dudettes are but I love the look of those. I was very pleased to see that one single Samurai guy in the preview and am totally excited to see a whole bunch of these guys! Might be the first time I'm going to buy a whole line without knowing who the guys actually are.

    In other words: brilliant job, DST!

    ya i dont think batman will be a government agent, ever, thats like the opposite of his character

    I can image something the other way around as in Dark Knight Returns. Supes somehow offering to work for/with the government, Bats - remember, he is the clever one of these two - figures out that doesn't turn out that well. The whole instrumentalizing/ gov pet thing. They fight and then they found JL.

    That said, DKR is a fantastic comic, but I don't see anything like that work in a movie based on a just recreated universe.
