Quasar perhaps , The Stranger ..unlikely & then there's Namor ! The official Minimate Namor (Invaders version) gets my award for 'perfection' . 17 years ago ...unreal! X-51 ?

The new owners of the Minimate brand will want to recoup their money , that's not an opinion that's a fact . The new owners will consider the continuation of the line & will be asking much the same questions as I am . Questions asked ,one of 2 things will happen ,the new owners will continue the line or they'll sell it to 'somebody' else, this is all about $$$$. Get your wallets ready .

I agree.

Going camping is intense . TBQH nothing could be more different to where I live as San Diego . The Con has its extremes ,some good some not so good ....I've said it before, where else would the likes of me just bump into Stan Lee & pass the time of day ?? It was surreal . I expect he told his friends about it for years

SDCC 2008 ,I remember 'lodging' in a motel about a mile or so from the Con Centre. I'm not too choosy & it was comfortable enough for me . During my stay there I posted something on the MMMV along the lines of where it was & that it was a "short walk" to the Centre. It caused a bit of a stir with my fellow US-attendees as it was allegedly in a 'rough' neck of the woods (neighbourhood) & consternation that I 'walked' to the Centre !!!! Maybe I'm just lucky but I've never had any real hassle anywhere in my travels & I had several conversations with what I shall call pram-people who showed me the other side of the very affluent Gaslight area of San Diego . Perhaps I'll just keep my memories .

Zach ,once again you seem to think that I am upset that Minimates weren't sold in the UK ?????? Please ....once & for all....I only ever emphasise my location because I thought it emphasised that I don't visit US B&M & I rely totally on online purchases from the USA & the generosity of surrogate US members' addresses. I couldn't care less about the non-sale of Minimates in the UK , in fact after 20 years it suits me just fine I have the utmost respect for you ,always have ,your integrity continues to shine through in your posts but ....& it's a big but ...this is the "Diamond Declares Bankruptcy' thread & TBQFH , you & Barry are hung out to dry whilst we're all wailing & wringing our hands & wondering WTF comes next . I have yet to see anything anywhere about Steve Geppi & his feelings ! I've said in the past all I'm going to say (unless pushed) about promos ,especially the Geppi promos (there were 2) . The Geppi promo & ToysRUS's demise ....maybe I should have used the word 'ironic' rather than coincidence . If Minimates were to be resurrected then it's best to find out why they died . This is a horrible thread , I wish it didn't exist but here we are & here I am asking the horrible questions .

Barry , like everybody else , I think these designs are stunning . For (my) clarification ....these were to be released via Walgreens ? When you say 'years later', when were these designed ? I have always favoured brand new characters rather than 'new versions' of old characters , that's my 'way' . New versions like these however would have swayed me . Beautiful .

Lucky man ! Just being wistful re: tickets .

Barry's post opened up fond memories & I'll admit that I am somewhat thrilled by Barry's presence on this forum . The pleasure that he has brought & hopefully continue to bring to Minimates is unfathomable* . I've never used that *word before but it says it all. I was going to post ...... "I have several production Mini-Javelin sets , I bought cases of them directly from China several years ago " I then decided to trawl the MMMV for a particular thread that actually states how many I have (had?) So 15 years later you may consider ...'bhm' is ,& was full of shit ! So have I got 168 C3 Mini-Javelin sets ? "Well do ya punk ? " * "Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself " * I can't recall selling more than a set or two... same goes for the C3 Batcopter sets. * -Dirtyharrysmate

Who's going ? .... any spare tickets ?

Pretty picture, I love it .
