  1. TRU had the entire wave! So naturally I told my buddy about it and by the time he got there they were gone! Yikes.
  2. Going to hit up a TRU by me tonight. Hoping to see them there......have an idea for Annihulus wings.
  3. My bad. I guess I'm confusing them with beggars. YEAH MORE IRON MAN MINIMATES!!!
  4. I'd always planned on watching it when it aired originally but I just started watching SLIDERS last night on Netflix with Jerry O'Connell. Lousy special effects and the acting is well....non-existent at times (especially from his girlfriend) but I love the premise of the show. I'm also catching up on AMAZING STORIES (if you haven't watched the GO TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS episode, you're missing it out- just brilliant thanks to the Spielburg/Zemeckis/Christopher "Doc Brown" Lloyd ensemble. Current tv? New Girl Parks and Rec Modern Family Happy Endings Walking Dead TMNT Bubble Guppies with my daughter (:
  5. Cowboy Stark looks more like drunken Hobo Stark.
  6. That could be a whole other thread: Holy Grail Wish List. For me? -A reasonably priced replica of the Rocketeer helmet and rocket pack. -John Hammond's cane from Jurassic Park
  7. I just assumed Aladdin with a tiny Abu on his shoulders WAS there and I just didn't see it. That's a bummer. Maybe I'll just get the Genie then.
  8. I loved seeing The Thing---but will only get him if they do the rest of the FF. I do want the Disney Aladdin wave though as well as Rocketeer, and Planet of the Apes!
  9. Haunted Mansion would be neat---and as a Ghostbusters fan, I'm always up for more translucent ghost characters. Pirates has been done already- then again now, with Peter Pan. A full fledged Haunted Mansion playset would be great.
  10. Are you saying Scarlet Spider Minimate is your holy grail ? Essentially yes. I have a few minimates that border on the line of holy grail and can't believe I finally found one. Here's my list: -Giant Sized Nightcrawler BEFORE the Excalibur set was released/announced -Scarlet Spider, found at FYE just as I was walking out of the store -Original X-Men Angel given to me as a bday gift
  11. CInderella's pumpkin carriage with a Fairy Godmother would be neat to see.
  12. I don't have any figures that I'd consider a holy grail (maybe Scarlet Spider?) but I was able to get a copy of the board game Fireball Island which is one of the hardest games to find complete and cheap- currently starting at $150 or higher on ebay. The box itself is the size of the hood of a car!
  13. I'd love to see a Comic Con Floor background........that way you could place all your minimates regardless of genre in one space and it wouldn't look awkward.
  14. Then jam it right back into mine.....you KNOW I want Full House Minimates.
  15. If I upset you for whatever reason I'm sorry, it wasn't my intent. Clearly, I'm digging my own grave here so I'll just stick to posting pictures and recipe formulas for my customs on this site and nothing else.
  16. Wait----what? I love that DST is doing Peter Pan (the more minimates the better!), but Pan isn't my one of my favorite Disney properties (Aladdin is)- so that's why I'm not buying them. Of course I realize that in order to get more sets in the same vein they have to sell like gangbusters to make some kind of a dent in the pocket books to even consider the thought of "Hey, didn't Disney also make OTHER movies too? What if we made more?" So in a sense, if I want the others to have a fighting chance I'm forced to buy Peter Pan....or start some kind of petition to send to Disney BEGGING them to make them. Had Aladdin been released instead of Pan, I'm sure I would have had the same complaint for Jafar's nose as I did with Hooks..... a minor gripe but I would buy that set in a heartbeat.
  17. Seeing her fly out of that convertible reminds me of the X-Men cartoon of her date with Gambit. Now we just need a formal wear dress custom!
  18. Still no verification on whether or not we'll see the IDW comic series in minimate form but I did some research for custom potential.... The jumpsuits are a nod to those worn in the original Real Ghostbusters cartoon- (the comic is known for doing little easter eggs throughout each issue) Here's the breakdown: -Janine is wearing Peter's suit. -Kylie Griffin (the goth girl with the cat) is wearing Ray's suit and she is a directly taken from the Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon. -Ortiz is wearing Winston's suit. -The guy in the baseball cap (can't read his name fully) is wearing Egon's suit. You'll notice all the women's suits have the legs fashioned into shorts as well. I went through my parts bin and realized I bought an extra set of the RGB wave (as my original intent was to turn them into People Busters customs) but I think now with a simple head/hair swap and flesh paint on the legs, I'd be able to make the new idw ghostbusters team in no time flat!
  19. I'm with Lurch. Just picked up the mummy and sarcophogas on clearance (only one left) but now I'm tempted to make a Rama-Tut custom for my FF.
  20. It's a minimate wave of everyone here on the forum. MIND BLOWN.
  21. By pester I meant: post once in a thread then sit on my hands and wait. Getting tired of this whole will they? won't they? wouldn't it be cool if.......? song and dance, aren't you Zach? Minimates have lasted a long time- it's the only toy line outside of TMNT that I buy figures for. If you don't make what I want it's disappointing and hard to process WHY NOT?? at times with certain properties, whatever they may be, but you're on the opposite end of this- you know what sells and what can even be approached to make. So I'm out in terms of giddy fanboy salivating at the thought of what 'could be'.....it only gets me into trouble here.
