Originally, they were the Masters of Evil. Is that what you mean? Songbird was once Screaming Mimi. Not many Masters left on the team, but a lot of villains and misfits. Even Luke Cage is an ex-convict.

We'll see how they each do.

Have requested numbers for Poll #1, but voting will continue on that poll until the very end, so I expect the number of votes to change a lot, and the winners to be in contention until then. Glad you guys like this poll. Sorry to make you choose. Having a concrete number of how many people voted on each guy should be helpful.

Less laziness and more waste of resources. Sending factory employees to locate the old mold and clean it (they need to be spotless) is a time and money issue. I'm hazy on how our molds work --some may be broken up into small, sliding pieces, so you can mix and match, but I think at least some of them are solid blocks of numerous small parts, which means you need to block off the parts you don't want/need just to cast the part you DO need. It's fairly labor-intensive. So they tool it onto the new mold -- tooling can take a long time for big stuff, but I don't think Minimate parts take very long.

Puny goat.

I want us to move from promos to product, as well. Monkeycrumb's reaction is one I've been worried about. BUT. To be fair, they DO know what it looks like. Although there is now some question as to whether or not the cape will be up or down. It's supposed to be up -- we'll see. Congrats, b00sted! Second rule of Translucent Tuesday Fight Club is that if you're translucent, you HAVE to fight. Well done as always.

That's all I said. Don't know what other "hints" I've dropped.

Sorry for contributing to the non-44 talk. As far as boots go, we don't use the same tools forever. We tool new parts when the old tools lose their mojo, or when it simply isn't worth it to go dig up a tool from ten waves ago. But if the design work is done, and the part serves its purpose, then we'll reproduce it as closely as possible.

I don't think I ever said there was a new comic license. I'm pretty sure I said we were working on some non-Minimate comic stuff, and we'd see if that led anywhere. I can see now why the Greek economy is in such trouble. RAMPANT SPECULATION.

Plus, most DH titles are creator-owned. There is no such thing as a blanket DH toy license. No, we're not doing Star Wars.

Not sure if we'll announce line-up before prototypes are done.

Cool displays, Carlos and Rheul.

Wow, some great shots! Those Avengers! That Fury! Need to go back and find Straycat's shots, they sound awesome. Posted a link to some shots of ASM stuff in the ASM thread, but I LIKE THIS THREAD BETTER.

Thanks, guys. Lizard is wearing Connors' lab coat. we didn't give him his own because we were told he didn't wear one. Next time, lab coats for everybody.

100 Different publishers, last time I checked Diamond's Previews catalog.Not Zenescope, though, they already have a minifigure line.

Not sure if I posted it here or at MMHQ or on FB or Fwoosh, but the remaining polls are 90-95% new characters. If I'd know the bile that would spill, I would have started with a different poll.

Took some shots, in case anyone is interested: http://www.artasylum.com/gallery/amazing-spider-man-minimates

They tried with spawn in the early days but Todd was the usual jackass and told them that their product couldn't handle the awesomeness of his creation and that it would die down eventually. I hope he has changed his mind now. Zach,what are the chances for some lesser known comic mates? Savage dragon,judge dredd,spawn that kind of stuff. Not sure any of those will ever happen, but never say never. Hoping we can do more Femme Fatales, and we're going to expand our comic line-up there soon.

Her foot peg doesn't fit into the hole on the reader? I thought they were all removable. The little one's supposed to come off? If she is, the peg on mine broke off in the hole then. Maybe I just got one that came with no glue. Contact CS, they should be able to get you a replacement.

If I'd seen that Wonder Man on the pegs, I'd have bought him, too. Grim Reaper fight! Thanks for helping with sell-through, Shane.

Please do not pay money for the crummy business cards we handed out at C2E2. They are not collectibles.

Wednesday.

Actually, the Black Widow movie prototype looked completely different. It has not been repurposed at all. I believe the J.G. Jones mini-series cover was the full inspiration for this one. And congrats, IABRH!
