my custom SF MM

What is SF an abbreviation for?

My scanner's on the fritz, so sorry if they're a little blurry - here's the whole thing:

And here's the diorama:

I really, really want these, too. On a side note, can someone change the spelling of comming to coming, it's making me crazy...

Also, how many people have the GB2 4-pack? How is it?

I liked it a lot- http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...st&p=163108

I think the green adds some color to an otherwise accurate but bland color scheme. The accessories are welcome, and the undone jumpsuit chest tampos are neat. I guess it's sort of a completionist set, but we're on a message board about toys, so we must be...

...Maybe i'm weird but they just look like stockings to me...it was, what, the 40s?? Wasn't the sotckings-with-everything sort of "the look" for women and dresses back then?? I still haven't seen the movie, but i feel like based off her Minimate's outfit that she'd be wearing stockings...

Again, maybe i'm just weird.

I agree, those look like stockings. Women didn't go bare-legged like that. Looks good to me. That head is bad, though...

Any pics of marty with his other hair

Here. I think this is some sort of factory error, because Michael J Fox never looked like this that I can remember...

Didn't take you long, did it?

Whaddya mean?

Finally got the HK and the Delorean at Toys R Us. I had pre-ordered them all the way back in May and they still hadn't shipped, so I just went into a store and got them. I had to call customer service to cancel the order, but luckily? they were still backordered... I love the Delorean, and this HK is gonna look great with all of them endoskeletons.

I'm sorry that I didn't go back and read through everything here since the announcement of best of wave 2 but are there any notable differences in any of these figures that would make them a desire for someone wanting to get the variations of each figure?

Nope. Just a way for people to get the figures that they previously missed out on.

I'm flabbergasted !!!

If someone had just posted that Marvel TRU Wave 9 included 'Warpath/Angel','Moonstone/Bullseye','Gauntlet Tony/Stealth IM' & 'Hulkbuster/Gamma' this site would have crashed .

DST/TRU are re-releasing all four of the four rarest GB sets in one fell swoop & barely a dickybird .

Imagine how this guy will feel when he finds out ? http://cgi.ebay.com/Ghostbusters-Minimates...DefaultDomain_0

OK, you've got a point. I guess I just wanted a little variance, but from that perspective, I guess it's cool that they're doing this.

'best of' wave 2 - nice to be able to find a Peter and energized terror dog, nice to see some more ghosts to be easier to find

Jeff of the Miniacs

I'm a little disappointed, I already have these...

how fast did AFX ship these?i just ordered them,and are they really worth it?

I pre-ordered mine a while ago, I got the shipping notice yesterday, and today they arrived. As for their being worth it: I dig the madness of the specificity of minimates. I only collect minimates of real people - I've been buying these since the beginning, and I stopped with the marvel ones around wave 4 because I knew that was a black hole and lo and behold wave 37(!) is going to come out soon. So, to me, getting a new face, and a new uniform of the Ghostbusters is totally worth it because it's totally crazy that these toys exist at all.

I still want more Star Trek toys, and I wish Platoon toys completed the whole Platoon right down to Oliver Stone's cameo. I'm sad that the Godfather and Beverly Hills cop toys never came out, and oh man would Rain Man have been awesome. The more crazy variants we get of the ghostbusters based on things that actually happened in the movies the better. I for one don't care at all about The Real Ghostbusters (although I owned the toys as a kid and watched the show), and I didn't buy the set based on the videogame. This set is worth it for me, no hesitation.

Got my AFX exclusive set, today. The colors on these sometimes strike me as wrong - in the movies they look this bluish grey sometimes, and sometimes they look tan... I guess it's the lights. Anyhoo - here's them out of the box, and out of their outfits - Ray just had a gray blank. Also, I think the addition of the gauntlets may have something to do with physics - as in, it's a lot easier for the boys to balance with the heavier pieces in front. Now all we need is a couple more civvies sets, maybe the Yellow jumpsuits with slime and long underneath, GB1 Janine, normal Tully, Hardemeyer, Judge Wexler, and we can practically make our own movie... I'm impressed with how deep this series has gotten.

Got my set, and it's late so I had to use the flash, but I'm really happy with these. Yes, I think it would've been cooler to get some more specific accessories, but it's the portraits that I like the most.

My "Ready to Believe You" set shipped today - fast!

We're Ready To Beleve You

Showing now in stock at TRU.com-and cheaper than announced at SDCC.

Thanks for the heads-up! They also have box set 3 for sale - I wonder if that'll be showing up in stores...

All of wave 4 is now up for order on TRU's site. Something new is a limit of 3 per customer.

It might've even been two per customer when they went up for pre-order, I can't remember...

All my wave 4 minimates have shipped from Toys R Us, and it looks like you, too, can order them again if you missed the boat the first time:

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4052483 Mayor

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4052481 Ray

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4052482 Venkman

Janosz doesn't have a link within my order, but maybe soon...

Got an email from TRU.com that the Mayor/Subway ghost pack I pre-ordered was shipping. No info on the other sets but they will probably follow shortly.

I got that today, too. Supposedly Janosz and Ray are backordered... c'mon TRU.com - make my day!

Anyone get a shipping notice from TRU?

The Art Asylum site is showing a boxset with slimeblowers in it not sure how new this is but first time I've seen it.

Yeah, this was announced a bit ago, and you can preorder it here:

I got my pre-order in about a week ago.

Apparently DST doesn't....

2: In the last Minimates QA (87) you said that there were no Star Trek minimates in the works. Does this mean the Shuttle’s cancelled? Don’t do this to me Chuck! Thanks, keep up the awesome job!

DSTChuck: Yes for now the shuttle is off the schedule.

I know they don't, but isn't the whole point of this site to discuss or voice opinions, even if they're about hopeless causes?

Why doesn't Spock want one?

Because he knows what has to happen to get one:

Show of hands - who wants one anyway?

I just got an unexpected delay notice about The Mayor and Jonosz two-packs, and now they're not on toys r us' website... hmmm
