Welcome to the one and only Multiverse of Minimates! Glad to have you join up! Seeing as the Quiz Brigade is probably due here any moment, I'll go easy on ya and provide all the answers: The Phantom Menace Kool and the Gang Maple syrup Seventy-three, with Cheetos on top Hope this helps

Hmmm, according to Wikipedia the Director's Cut and the Final Cut should be virtually the same, but I'd say go for the Final Cut. This version has some minor improvements over the Director's Cut, but both have similarly huge changes over the theatrical cut anyway. It's also less confusing this way.

Not bad for some early custom attempts, man!

That guy's stop motion videos are just incredible. I really loved the Michael Jackson vs. Mr Bean one. He should have his own animation studio. Seriously, he looks like he could give Henry Selick and the Wallace & Gromit guys a run for their money.

Glad you dropped by to say hi. Hope we get to see you on the 'verse more often!

Wow, and to think. All of that art... Rest in peace, Ed! Thanks for the memories and all the cool stuff!

If only the fellows scalping Marvel Minimate exclusives all over the place would think the same way Would it be stupidly optimistic to pray Vigo, the Scolari brothers, Lady Liberty, et al. might find their way into a Best Of wave too?

Many happy returns, my ultra-powered arachnid porcine friend! I'd greet ya in an alien language but the only one I can speak right now is Dalek. EX-TER-MIN-ATE! HAP-PY BIRTH-DAY!

I... I... Even going by the custom's name alone it sounds blasted awesome. But this... the trompe l'oeil shading is just superb, like he literally jumped out of the comic. Color me jealous, punisher! Fantastic work as usual, Shamrock!

To be perfectly honest my dad said he wasn't that impressed by the movie, and my brother slept through much of it. But hey, at least it's a step in the right direction for Hollywood. (Also, it's surprising how much watching a lot of Doctor Who can acclimatize you to this sort of thing ) Also, two fun infographic charts for the movie.

As a general rule most minimate releases of the same character should have some minor variations to differentiate them with. (Even the classic red and blue Spider-Man is subject to this, though you would never tell seeing as there's so damn many of him ) To add to BHM's post, comparing the two Deadpools... ... you can already see some distinct differences from the get-go. In addition to their outward appearance the Wave 28 Deadpool has the more diverse set of accessories, while X-Force Deadpool has the more muted, comic-accurate (I'm guessing) color palette. ... I'm not making things any easier, am I?

Talk about damn prophetic! When was it predicted in this thread that this issue would get conclusively resolved again? On a vaguely related note, I recently had to find myself a new SM3 Mary Jane because the old one was, erm, missing her skirt

Glad to have you aboard the Good Ship Minimate!

I'm probably going to feel stupid posting this guess, but...

Only frame of reference, remember?

I'm actually sort of wishing Minimates had their own little environments like these now. These sorta remind me of Polly Pocket, or the sort of fully-stocked mini-playsets you'd get out of gashapon machines.

Who's in your signature? That's John Simm. He played the Master in a recent season of Doctor Who. That GIF is from a particularly dark yet funny scene in the episode "The Sound of Drums."

Oh, sure. It starts off innocently enough. First you have the neat little shelf collection. Then you move on to lurking eBay at the weirdest hours of the night, then you progress to the other Minimate lines like Ghostbusters and Back To The Future. Next thing you know you'll become another one of those Multiverse zombies praying to the Minimate gods for the revival of line DC/Street Fighter/whathaveyou lines... Run while you still can!!! Anyway, a warm welcome to the boards, my man!

I just read a fantastic theory about the movie. A lot of people had been asking: If the spinning top was Mal's totem, what was Cobb's? I forgot the exact article I found it in (probably io9), but some people are saying that . Fun observation. Unrelated question: Who do you think is your favorite character from the film? After a couple of viewings, for some reason I've really taken a shine to Eames as a character. What can I say? The man's hilarious.

Done and done. And I really hope the boxsets actually show up on our end. Good thing I'm not a completist, otherwise those TRU-exclusive B&W variants are going to kick my butt.

PORTAL! Oh wait, no cake. Wrong medium. Welcome to our totally-not-a-cult happy family! Hope you're not allergic to random weirdness and threads going into weird tangents. Occasionally about puns and dairy product

Besides the upcoming wave 37 variant Thing, the closest preexisting Rorschach coat I can think of is Blackhawk's, though some heavy modification might be needed for the closures. However one boardie's Rorschach custom (sadly I can't remember whose it was) used Guy Gardner's vest as a base, and it turned out suprisingly well. If you can just find a way to compensate for the bottom half of the trench then that might work too. On the open-coat route MiniFiend suggested, IIRC Rorschach usually does wear a pinstriped suit that gets covered up by his iconic trenchcoat+scarf combo. Food for thought. (According to this, in the comics his pinstriped suit was purple. Cough.)

Fun! Looks like you have about four Stump Men in your premises to compensate for this guy's height. A little disturbing seeing Stark hug his legs like that though.

These are pretty cool And also a fun new perspective on how Minimates are designed. Congrats on the haul BHM!

Hey, good luck with that TM2! Can't say I know of any good publishers over there, though some of the genre fiction-based independent presses might be a good start. (I wouldn't really know, I just browse the Tor and Strange Horizons sites every now and then.)
