UK Collector

These have hit the UK. Had them in my local supermarket, just in case anyone in the UK is looking out for these.

Those are amazing!!! Any chance we'll see those translucent casts on eBay? :biggrin: If not you could always start a production line, I'm sure you'd get a few takers for those....and the bases.

Oh my God. That Usagi Yojimbo is amazing!!!

Seriously just terrific.

Great job on the head swap for the face expression Storm.

That package is very nice. Love the poster on the back and the 70 years anniversary logo. I don't love the set figure wise but I still hope these sell well so that TRU will consider future box sets.

If I was a kid and saw this set in TRU I'd go nuts!

l..................that you got a minimate that very little people have. Congrats.

I'm 6' 2"!

That's a terrible joke

Congrats Rodimus, I am so jealous. I hope you enjoy them, I was planning on bidding and then if I won just hiding them from my girlfriend so she'd have no idea....she already thinks I'm nuts!

I realise I'm a bit slow to the party but I bought these off eBay lat month and after weeks of waiting they arrived today!!

These things are amazing, dare I say they're my favourite minis? It's fortunate that the Marvel minis can't get on line to read this

I think we will see movie AND comic versions of the below:

That's a good shout. I wouldn't be surprised if they give us a movie wave and a comic based wave at the same time. Lord knows we need a Crimson Dinamo and I'm sure they can squeeze out a few more Iron Men. Aqua Iron Man etc, and I've been desperate for a good Hulk Buster. The Iron Monger showed they are capable of giving us a bulkier Iron Man armour.

Pure speculation...

That's the name of the game.

Yeah I'd love a War Machine, personally I consider the MKII to be the best looking of the movie armours, so assuming it will be based around that I reckon it will look great!

So I've been thinking, wave 31 and 32 are due out in December, 33 and 34 might therefore be out for

February or March. Which would give us 35 and 36 for May/June.

Considering the above my thinking is that maybe, quite possibly (don't beat me up if it doesn't happen ) wave 35 or 36 could be Iron Man 2! It makes sense to me if you consider the timing of the Wolverine Origin mates which seemed to be in store when the movie hit theatres.

So if it is Iron Man 2, who do we want to see? Details of the film are scarce at this early stage but IM, Black Widow and Wiplash have to be certanties. But who would they be packaged with? I don't want another Pepper!!

I know some people don't like speculative threads but in all honesty I just thought it would be a bit of fun to see what everyone thought.

Sorry if there's already a topic for this, but I don't recall seeing one around

Thanks

That is a really nice looking 'mate! Great work.

That Weapon X is great. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with in future.

That is a fantastic bit of kit. What Ecto 1 is that? The scale is pretty much perfect!

He could be the next Stay Puft/Slimer with all the variants they could do (aside from Glow-in-the-dark and clear they can do GB1 'shocked' expression, GB2 'happy' expression with peace sign hand, RGB shugging expression, RGB overly happy anime dancey face... probably more)

I was thinking the exact same thing, standard, glow in the dark and clear would be great. And that's pretty much a wave on it's own. Give us a couple more GB2 mates, Janine, the GBs in court suits, GBs with slime pack things.......

It just keeps going. They could get at least 4 waves out of the movies and if they make Real Ghostbusters man...how amazing would that be!

thanks, it's good to be here! I didnt know about the custom section, maybe one of the mods can move this thread over there? it would make more sense - as for my avatar, I cant take credit for it, I scanned the logo from one of my GB minimates boxes and recreated it in photoshop, here's a larger version w/ transparent background if anyone wants to use it:

Off topic slightly, does anyone think that they might make a minimate of the guy above. No not Minijoeshmo you fool of a took, the ghost in the logo. I think it would be a great Minimate. Roll on wave 3, and wave 2 isn't even out yet!

That is amazing. I can't wait to see it finished.

Once you get the production down to a tee you should try selling these. I'm sure you'll have plenty of takers.

welcome! hopefully your time here will be long and prosperous!

time for the KCD OFFICIAL* MOVIE CHALLENGE!!!

"all that hate's gonna burn you up, kid."

*= patent pending

I'm afraid to say that I have no idea. I must warn you all that I am a child of the 80s, and I haven't seen many movies from before that hallowed decade, so if it's from a film made before then, chances are I haven't seen it.

Thanks to everyone for your welcomes!

These look amazing!!! The Cable is great, although not sure about x-23, a bit of a plain looking mate.

How the hell am I supposed to afford all this stuff they're bringing out? Man I need a promotion aka pay rise.

If they get rid of Grimm's idiotic powerhouse chest, he'd be perfect. I mean it's supost to be the Thing in human form and it just doesn't work. He looks to big with it, like he still has super strength.)

Completely agree with this. It just doesn't look right.

I'm gonna risk becoming the most hated person on here and say that I think it's an alright looking set. Once they sort out the skin colour issues it will be fine IMO.

I voted for Storm, but honestly we all knew Spidey would get in there, and this is the only way we're gonna get Beyonder and that type of Doom (I actually really like the Doom) and I'm completely certain that we'll get the Storm anyway.

Hell all you'd have to do was show a TRU exec this thread and he'd sign up an exclusive 2 pack on the spot. That would piss me off! :biggrin:

Ha! If you'd have asked me this last week I wouldn't have had a clue, but I saw this at the weekend with my girlfriend who insisted we watch it. It must be fate! :biggrin:

It's Gran Torino. Good old Clint.

Welcome I guess you know that Limited Edition have the GB box-set?

Yeah I saw that, I think i'm gonna have to get 2 of them though as I can't help but open them! I hate things put on card, in my opinion the new Miniboxes are perfect as I can open them and then seal them away when i'm done with them.

Welcome!

Thanks Punisher, been checking out your customs for a while now. Your Ash is amazing. And that Alien is fantastic!!! I'm assuming it's a Kubrick/Minimate hybrid.

Hi there and welcome.

I'm probably the most useless person when it comes to painting and stuff, I havent even attempted a custom as I'd probably just end up having a strop and throwing everything on the floor!!!

Some of the stuff people do on here though is incredible and I'm sure someone will have the answers for you.

Good luck with it.

I work two jobs and have an 8-month old son

Dude I thought my life was busy!! Holy cow, how do you find time to even log on to the internet let alone look on here and collect as well :biggrin:

Welcome.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone on here. I've been collecting Minimates for about 2 years and i've been a long time viewer on the boards here without actually being active and posting.

I live just outside of London, and I'm a bit of a fiend for comedy tv shows of high quality, anything with zombies in and sci-fi movies. I'm a pretty casual comic book reader, and will generally stick to the Ultimate line, and the staple characters at DC and Marvel.

My favourite movie is Meet the Spartans (I am of course kidding!!!)

I only really collect Marvel mates although I have a couple of DC figs and also want to get my hands on the Ghostbusters(the Minimates not the actual people, although come to think of it they'd be handy to have around). Unfortunately I live in the UK so the likelihood of getting them is slim unless I hit up eBay. Damn UK TRUs.

Looking to get my wants/haves list up in the next week or so, and hopefully it will have some stuff a few of you guys want and maybe you guys will be able to help me out as well!

Anyways, looking forward to making some new friends on here.
