For what it's worth, I was at the Minimate Panel. The enthusiasm and passion that Digger displayed during his Agent 88 presentation was infectious. This is clearly something that means a lot to him and that's awesome. Digger created Minimates, and if he wants to use them to help get a project going, then more power to him. Nobody needs to collect every mate released (well except BHM), but if there are some special ones out there, the more the merrier! I just love that this line is moving to so many diverse lines and it really gives people a smattering of mates to buy that suits them.
I also sat in front of Kay D'Arcy during the minimate panel without knowing it until the end. What a sweet lady!
