Captain Minimate

Once I had a friend whose Xbox had the 3 quarters of the ring. The screen was covered in red spots wherever there was a dark corner, so we decided to take it apart. Turned out the heat sink was too hot, and we needed to put the fan directly on it.

My addiction is slowing going away since I'm only collecting Marvel now. Since DC is gone I haven't really kept track of them as much. I was getting any and everything minimate but now I'm just doing the comic stuff.

True, this is also happening to me. I am only collecting the Marvel stuff. Although I just don't have enough of the civilian clothed mates.

Coincidentally, my own minimate addiction has reached quite irrational levels as well. I'd recommend some kind of solution if I could, except the only one I can think of is to move someplace where minimates are harder to find. And we all know full well that even THAT probably won't deter one with THE ADDICTION, what with those darned Interwebs and all.

I already AM in a place like this... Hong Kong. 2 comic shops. ONLY. Although because of me, they're starting to get it every time something new comes out. I guess I was their first mini-addict!

My only other not-so-bright idea is to come up with some megahit minimate webcomic and somehow earn revenue online from high readership. At least THAT would justify the necessity of a vast minimate hoarde: "I'm not buying toys, Mom... I'm prepping for the second season!"

Actually, I kinda did do a few of these... Kinda dramatic though. I also did it on Mac-only program: Comic Life. So I'm not sure if some of you could view it...

True, it is Christmas soon... Maybe i'll ask for series 24!!!

Hey guys, I'm in junior high and I have... "THE ADDICTION" to Minimates... I have lots of them already, but my parents are saying that I'm getting too much of them and losing money.

Any bright ideas that could help my problem?

Thanks lots - Cap Mini

If youre intrested in Wii Music, then just buy Guitar Hero or Rockband. I'm DEFINITELY not getting that game... But yeah, Batman LEGO, obviously looking forward to. Plan to get it for Wii AND PSP

I agree with the Moviemates. And maybe Indiemate Customs.

Here's my collection. I don't have any sort of case whatsoever. I just keep them in glass boxes like the iPod ones :

I'm quite new to these guys, so I only have the later ones.

My poor wittle zombie Daredevil lost his hand !! so I swapped Flash's hand

Aside from Minimates, I got these Marvel Legends and Hasbro dudes

I don't really bother throwing the boxes away, so I just stack 'em up like this:

If you have any cars like these, they fit perfectly with your Mates! Tony here has a sweet ride with Pepper!

Wait, I read on Minimate HQ that a Thor would be in the set... What happened to that??

Oh yeah, is the SDCC 07 Zombie Daredevil's mask removable? cuz it looks like you can pull off his mask. It's taking me a long time to try and pull it off, I bent my nail because of that!!

Just asking!

I've looked around on lots of forums, and ours is great. But there is one thing we don't have.

A Chat-Box.

I'm sure you all know what a c-box is, it's the fast chatting system you can put on your website.

Here is a link to the website, you might wanna try it out: http://www.cbox.ws/

Love the Modern Thor and Crimson Dynamo

Oh yeah, the Gobby isn't too bad, but the Wilem Dafoe head is soo cool!

Those accessories are... are... B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!! I mean, I'm a newbie, so I never saw THAT much weapons before!! (other than Taskmaster, of course)

I practically NEED a new Ghost Rider, a nice Moon Knight, and a WHOLE bunch of Ultimates Minimates!

Aw, come on! How can DEADPOOL NOT be FIRST!? It's the goddamn DEADPOOL.

Geez, It's almost Tuesday! When will Deadpool come!? :o

The Soda-Mates ROCK!!!

I love the Zombies. ESPECIALLY BULLSEYE!!!!

XDDD Poor Prof. X... He got bitten to pieces . What was your reaction when you found it was broken like that?

Hey... He actually looks more like the movie version, cause Jean killed him that way, remember? :o
