Just picked up regular KITT at my local TRU in Phoenix. Great quality, but damn these tiny little stickers that have to be applied to a tiny black hard-to-see dashboard with tweezers becauseyourfingerswon'tfitandthenthestickerssliderightofftheglossypaintifyoulookatthemwrongandIlostonebecauseitfellinbetweentheseatssomewhereOHMYGODRAGEAAAARRRGHHH!!! So excited!

We still need a time train. There's never been a toy or model of it ever before, and it's something a lot of fans have wanted since Part III came out. Whether it's in Minimate form or not, I'd love it if Diamond released one while they still have the license. Also, we still need Griff, Clara, "Clint Eastwood" Marty, and 2015 George McFly.

Hasbro just announced a Kre-O line based on JJ Abrams' upcoming Star Trek sequel: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/hasbros-kreo-brand-to-unveil-new-star-trek-and-transformers-building-sets-at-comiccon/25253/ Their license includes minifigures "based on classic characters." Is this bad news for any hopes of future Trek Minimates?

Ratburgers.

So, any word on when we'll be seeing the regular version of KITT at Toys R Us? Last I heard, it was slated for a November '11 release.

Keep in mind that Sisko wore a Lieutenant's uniform in that episode. You should probably use a Sulu body or arms for him.

They could always do "Clint Eastwood" Marty.

My local specialty shop says the RGB 4-pack should arrive next week!

Bumping for update. See original post for new pic!

So. . . . http://www.minimateheadquarters.com/zenphoto/index.php?album=official-releases/back-to-the-futureℑ=delorean2.jpg Jennifer Parker! I just wish her vest was a seperate piece, to give her that '80s "puffy" look she had going on.

No pics yet, it seems. But this banner was displayed at Toy Fair; http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=vie...00&start=60 If it's part of the MAX line, we can expect a super-deformed KITT and/or KARR along with a Hasselhoff 'mate or two. I was a big fan of the show when I was eight, so this will be good for the nostalgia factor, but REALLY? There's a demand for this?

It comes with two pairs of legs, but it's assembled in-package incorrectly. Swap the front legs with each other so they bend backwards instead of forwards, then switch the feet and you'll be all set.

If you look close, it appears Egon's holding a different proton wand than Ray (notice the silver tip and the brown paint behind it). Hard to notice since he's pointing it at the camera, but it just might be a different sculpt.

I can also confirm the AMT bridge works great. Mine ended up like this:

No such thing. They're usually pretty smooth when they're fresh. No ruffles 'til they get older.

Rats. Looks like this was pushed back to June 2011.

*UPDATE: It's here! See attachment!* Round 2 Models has come out with a snap-together model of the 1966 Batmobile. http://www.round2models.com/models/batman/batmobile-snap/product Although it's debatable, 1:24/1:25 scale model cars are a VERY good fit for Minimates. I'm excited to put this next to my classic Batman & Robin figures who finaly have more than just a Hot Wheels Bat-Cycle to stand next to!

Just picked it up today and OHMYGODMARTYCOMESWITHAVIDEOCAMERA! He also looks good with his mask attached, whether it's up or down. I wonder why we didn't see more pics of it before? Here's a pic I took with my phone linked from my Twitter (since I'm still on my phone right now) http://m.plixi.com/p/48408705

Yeah, I don't think they got his nose right, either.

was only about $8 for me. any one know if someone will do a pre-order for the "we believe" set? Even better, you can preorder it to pick it up AT Con without having to worry about standing in line for it!

Just got the set today. I think World of the Psychic Peter's face works real well in the gooey gang: Look how sad he is, thinkin' Dana's been burned to a crisp. Poor guy. . . .

Am I the only one who noticed that Slimeblower Ray is wearing the wrong color uniform? I hope they get it right with Winston so it's an easy fix. I think I love this set, if only for the ghosts that are in it. I'm surprised by how good Janosz looks, and even the Mayor isn't a bad choice. And, yes, another Slimer/Peter IS necessary to keep new buyers interested. Go, marketing gimmicks! They help keep the line alive for the rest of us.

How come nobody mentioned that the Egons come with the GB2 giga meter?! AWESOME!!!

Yeah, I don't think they'd include whole torsos as accessories, so who knows? It's almost as if they're one shy of another four-pack. Maybe a GB1 Janine? Eh, who knows?

So how come no one's mentioned the recent Toy Fair news? Apparantly, we're getting civilian Peter, Ray, Egon and Dana, as well as the guys in their outfits from the comercial you were all asking for. Click for pics I'm really kinda "meh" at this point. As much as I love Ghostbusters Minimates, I think the latest wave from TRU will just about do it for me. I don't really need any of these, but I know a lot of people will be excited about it.
