I think there's been some misunderstanding in the thread. I am not just getting into minimates. I have a nearly complete DC collection and want to start on Marvel. Thanks for the advice though. I have decided I'll be going with non-movie mates and 90's X-Men . The only decision I have to make now is which Iron Man, ocd is horrible. But anyway, thanks everyone for your help!

do any of you have displays of movie mates and comic mates together?

Sh*t just got real. Rob's here. I am contemplating either Wave 21 Iron Man or MvC Iron Man...MvC looks more comic book like and will fit in with the look I'm going for. SO CONFUSED. Update: Extremis Iron Man has also been added to the list of candidates as it does look bulky like the movie figures but not overly shiny. If anyone has any Thor, Hulk, Captain America suggestions those would be helpful too.

Thanks Onyx! Does anyone have any opinion on what the "best" Iron Man minimate is? I'm talking about a "modern" Iron Man, there's no point in going by armor numbers because the minimates I've seen have very little variation in them, at least the movie ones. Totally confused. I realize its slightly unreasonable to only want one of each character and for them all to fit together visually...but I guess I'm crazy.

Added things you mentioned that fitted in the list. Are there any things we maybe don't expect but are possible? Also any thoughts as to what the 80's property is?

Ivan is god. And thanks for the suggestions, that was I was thinking of doing. Its just extremely daunting. I don't want to make a mistake and be stuck with an inferior figure or one that doesn't fit in with my other mates. I have two spare minimates right now, one was used for parts for a custom and the other is a custom that is no longer needed because I procured an actual DC Hal Jordan....they DRIVE ME INSANE. Unfortunately the Disney Avengers sets don't really appeal to me visually, I like Kang and Grim Reaper though. I prefer a more modern look. So far I'm leaning to either a 90's X-Men and Avengers collection or making a more modern line up with movie minimates tossed in where they fit. Anyone who has suggestions please come forth! I need help!

Added those. I feel like I'm missing something.

I have not been collecting very long, about two years now and my DC collection is almost complete. I also collect Battle Beasts and have all promo gators and both promo Vorins. Marvel comics are what lead me to Minimates but when I discovered that they weren't making DC anymore I realized I should collect and get as many of those as I want first. Now on I'm on the verge of beginning my Marvel collection but am too intimidated. The variations and numbers are daunting. I understand that there are a number of teams, alternate universes and variants but I enjoy uniformity, or at least some sort of visual logic. I don't have any doubles in my collections so far, well except Battle Beasts but that is my first COMPLETE collection. I prefer to have definitive, singular versions of each character and display them together. I brought this up with Buttheadsmate and he said he would post a list eventually but as he is a busy posting pictures of his Minimate stockpile I'd like to see what other people think. Are 90's X-Men the way to go? Does movie Marvel fit in better with the rest of the 616 characters? I honestly don't know where to begin. Thanks for the help guys!

Kostis please elaborate on the 80's line murmurs.

I asked a guy who played it at e3 and uploaded some gameplay and he said that the vita version has free roaming.The 3ds version isn't open world though. EDIT:it says the same on gamestop. Well I guess I'm screwed then..lol

I had to say this. Young Justice minimates....please?

The handheld versions aren't open world, so I guess to compensate for that part of the game being eliminated they are adding more characters.

Thanks Jatta updated original thread with your info and Expendables! Also was the rumor about a new comic line true or just speculation?

I was hoping multiverse veterans and member could help me piece together what this year looks like for DST and Minimates in terms of new lines, rumors and announcements?

Rumors of a new line? Anything we should expect? Thanks guys! I like knowing what I have to look forward to.

Too awesome YB! Amazing collection!

Apparently in being a minimate watcher and fan for a few years , but not a poster I have missed something. What is this maximate wolverine and maximate spidey people speak of? I am very confused and intrigued.

I feel that it only appropriate to say, in the words of Wayne and Garth, "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"

Wow! That looks amazing!

I agree about the waiting for promos...except gators.

Mr.Oat has been online, he has not answered us...Our God has cursed us with unknowing...

happy birthday!

I had a few thoughts on this today : Sons Of Anarchy ( SOA doesn't have any toys associated with it and a rabid fan base. Also motorcycles to go with minimates would be pretty awesome ) Breaking Bad/ The Walking Dead TV series/ Hell On Wheels ( AMC is a pretty creative bunch in terms of programming and marketing so you'd think they'd be into it. ) Dredd ( The New Judge Dredd movie which as far as I know doesn't yet have toys associated with it )

Is this giveaway going to be of an existing figure or something new? I love the Battle Beasts to be honest...even Zik who I disliked greatly at first has grown on me. Thanks Zach and DST, I hope this line does amazingly.

It can't ( I think ) be anything from Series 1 because they said that that the molds aren't ready, so I'm guessing if there is one it will be Vorin, Zik or I daresay...another gator.

Ebay, here i come...
