  1. I like them because they are the musical equivalent of a horror movie, vile, sickening and disgusting with talks of them doing things like slaughtering masses and killing people, but that is their charm. You either like them or you don't, and I still think they would make pretty good Joker henchmen as it is I mean if they made Chef Duff into a 'mate then they could make ICP in a limited release.

  2. I don't know all the ins-and-outs, but apparently the Max-Mates were very expensive to make, and didn't sell. That's a bad formula for a business. So, unless there is a serious surge in Minimate interest out there, I wouldn't count on seeing those. . .however, if they could find some way of just releasing large Minimates (made of plastic, articulate, etc.) the size of the Minimate Max figures, they probably wouldn't cost much more than a glorified "Build-A-Figure" to produce, and could potentially have a market. I would love to get Uatu, Giant Giant Man, and Fin Fang Foom.

    As much as I love my Galactacus and Sentinel I meant Max as in the comic imprint http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAX_(comics) so that makes for the rougher Punisher style the gore one people are used to seeing and so on, would make some good gritty civilian 'Mates.

  3. Yes!! I would LOVE a new Nightcrawler mate! He is a very popular X-Man, and I think a modern version of him would sell really well. If I can be a nerd for a second and make a correction, though; Nightcrawler hasn't worn the yellow and black leather look since Grant Morrison left the book years ago. None of the X-Men have. His current look is even cooler though, it's reminiscent of the old one, only more simple and without those weird shoulder thingies. Here ya go...

    And hell yeah, he better come with TWO swords! And have his tail be bendy, so that he could hold a sword with it, or hang upside down! That would be awesome!!

    Sorry about that, haven't read for awhile, last I read was the arc with Skin and Jubilee getting crucified and Angel giving away his blood or whatever it was, I'd prefer him in the yellow and black but any costume but the one he has now on the 'Mate.... Damnit I still want Tombstone to be made though, hopefully in another Spidey wave and better be with Robbie Robertson.

  4. Slipknot? Insane Clown Posse? Ugh. What the F*&% are you kids listening to these days?

    Even if you hate their music, you can't say they wouldn't make good 'Mates, two guys in clown makeup with various slasher-esque weaponry. Even so you could always use them as Joker's henchmen.

  5. I know they are not strictly "Rock" more Rap-Metal. But I want me some Insane Clown Posse 'Mates. Shaggy and Violent J both have a crazy look about them with the clown face paint and strange hairstyles, add the whole hatchet wielding psychopath part about them and you have winners. Maybe even a box set with Twiztid, have them come with various weaponry and so on, maybe some severed heads and meat cleavers or machetes.

    Shaggy 2 Dope with double sided head like on newer 'mates (one half with O.G. face paint the other side the newer style) reuse the Sabertooth hairpiece and paint it red, give him a random vest piece and some knife and done.

    Violent J with same type of head, reuse the Jigsaw hairpiece but blond and also with interchangeable Sabertooth hairstyle for when he had long hair, give him a gun or knife and done.

    Twiztid would require quite a bit of new sculpting on the hair only for the unique style.

  6. Top 10: (no real order)

    * Tombstone (Normal being his usual look, Variant with cornrows normal face and pimp suit from Cage MAX)

    * Nighthawk

    * Luke Cage (Powerhouse chest style)

    * Robbie Robertson

    * Blade (90's style like from Spider-Man the animated series)

    * Whiteface (from Supreme Power: Nighthawk)

    * Captain Frank Castle (From Born)

    * Mephisto

    * Mojo

    * Jamie Madrox Multiple Man.

    * Bullseye (redone with paler sickly looking face and black suit as opposed to his classic blue)

    Spider-Man/Wolverine Variants:

    * Street Spidey (during the 90's where he adopted the mask with no webs and a leather jacket and sweater)

    * Death (Four Horsemen Wolvie)

  7. Unsuccessfully I have been searching for a Nightcrawler 'mate to find them all overpriced or sold only in a bundle, I'm wondering why there hasn't been another minimate made of this character. He is popular and a staple of the X-men team (not as profitable as Wolverine but still popular) the only costume they have made of his is the old circus one he used in the 70's and 80's I'm wondering why the have not jumped onto making him in his current X-men outfit, the black and yellow leather as they all wear now post-X-men movies. Another thing I'd love to see is a box set made of the characters from the Marvel Max series. How cool would it be seeing Luke Cage, Tombstone, Punisher and Nighthawk together in a box set, would be easy and need barely any new sculpted parts, maybe a cornrow sculpt for Tombstone and a new helmet sculpt for Nighthawk aside from that there would be all reuse, wondering why DST hasn't jumped on making some MAX characters.

  8. Well, I love all 'Mates (well comic related) I'm happy to have both Marvel and DC ones, but I still want some more DC I'd actually prefer some Vertigo ones to mainstream DC and I think Watchmen is under Vertigo (that's why Mattel are not allowed to use the Watchmen characters) so I'd love a boxset of Vertigo characters. Constantine, 2.5" Swamp Thing, Spider Jerusalem and Rorschach, maybe Jesse Custer or Cassidy. Perfect box-set.

  9. Yeah, the two don't really have anything to do with each other. The Spirit is owned entirely by the estate of his creator, Will Eisner. DC is just the publisher.

    Please don't start threads with titles like this unless you have actual info on the return of DC Minimates!!!!!

    I never claimed to have any information, I just said it could be a possibility due to The Spirit minimates being released. And DC slaps their logo all over the comics and Spirit is used as a character in the main DCU so I don't see why it isn't a possibility. Also people claimed DC mates were dead with C3 and they were wrong.

  10. DC wont be coming back anytime soon The spirit licence and how it works outside of the main DC stuff is explained somewhere on this forum. Its nearly 1am here and I cant be bothered looking but it is somewhere.

    That's true, but the buyers are still there for DC people were devastated when the line was canceled, I know Spirit is pretty much in license limbo (Eisner and DC claim to both own it, DC have their logo all over the recent comics) but I honestly hope A.A. get their heads straight and make some more DC 'mates I need my fix. Then again I don't see why A.A. can't make a boxset of Vertigo 'Mates, an Imprint of DC which Mattel are not allowed to utilize characters from (Thus why Constantine or Rorschach will never appear in the DCU classics series) I'd love a box set of Swamp Thing, Spider Jerusalem, John Constantine, Jesse Custer and Rorschach.

  11. As people know there is 2 sets of Spirit minimates seeing release. The Spirit is published by DC comics also Spirit is an active member of the DCU now this could show there may be some chance of more minimates from DC properties, atleast from the comic Spirit set I can make a pretty good classic Vic Sage (already made one from a Frank Castle minimate with back in black spidey hair, making him in his 90's era outfit).

  12. The Spirit is still an active member of the DCU, and the comic bears the DC logo and not Eisner's, so I'm pretty sure it's a DC owned property, even if all they do is publish. Maybe we can get some more DC minimates out of this I need a Vic Sage and a Rorschach to chillax together. (Kingdom Come #2 reference)

    Loved that scene. One of my favorites. Not only because of Rorschach, but because it shows some of Superman's tyrrany and you really get to see the other option.

    Superman is a dick, plain and simple and I just loved seeing Rorschach and The Question hanging out, they are perfect. Both psychotic conspiracy theorists who are happy to kill anyone in their way violently.

  13. The Spirit is still an active member of the DCU, and the comic bears the DC logo and not Eisner's, so I'm pretty sure it's a DC owned property, even if all they do is publish. Maybe we can get some more DC minimates out of this I need a Vic Sage and a Rorschach to chillax together. (Kingdom Come #2 reference)
