Several people I know who have absolutely no interest in toys / Minimates ,when directed to the Minimate Database , become totally fascinated by it.
I ,merely, collect Minimates ,what Ivan has achieved with the MMDB is just magnificent .

I realise that I'm a tiny minority & I'm glad that these are gaining lots of love but I look at these 'mates & I 'see' Peter Pan 'mates which weren't my favourites . Sorry!

Medicom (kubrick Planet of the Apes) achieved a suitable compromise by designing a saddle that allowed the (kubricks') legs to fit into .....20 years ago ,simple enough?
Why not follow the same path ,then any Minimate can sit on any horse
Beta Ray Bill an horse God (see what I did there?) was the closest we'd previously got .

Correct. So anyone can ride it, but they have Venger's legs. Also, their horse is totally evil.
This is a
steptrot in the right direction . So many ideas & bad puns come to mind ........but I'll spare you .Finally I can complete my Godfather customs .

I use a 'friendly' US address & my NYCC order shipped yesterday ,allegedly.

Venger's "maxi-skirt" is standing to his right. Legs are a mystery?
What I'm feeling is that we may not have a horse that a Minimate can sit astride .

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" they say . Nothing wrong with the horse but it would seem that it's rider has been up the pub & is legless .

I see the NYCC sets have been put up for pre-order, but they don’t list an arrival ETA. Any idea of when they should ship out?

Good. Tired of missing out on exclusives
If I were a Native American, people would know me as `Broken Record' .....I know that & I care not.
That tiresome term 'exclusive' has been a 'turn-off' rather than DST 's perception that it promotes the product.
The latest example ,I'm a (sceptical) new AEW Minimate / Vinimate fan so ,like everybody else I'm scratching my head about the first Vinimates AEW SDCC exclusive which is being followed up with a promo Minimate . In all fairness to DST the vinimate set was directly available from them if you knew but just try getting a reasonably priced set now !! So here we are with a new licence that is already becoming another 'excluder' rather than exclusive.
Completing a Vinimate collection BTW is almost traumatic, anybody here actually go to the Puerto Rican Comic Con & pick up their Red Son exclusive ?
Never forget that that beautiful yet commercially disastrous Battle Beast Minimate line ended up having just 16 retail characters ( + a Comic Heroes set of 2) . There were however 3 exclusives characters & 10 promos , 8 of those promos were released years before we actually saw one at retail !! It might just be me but the 'promotion' backfired .
GI Joe ought not go the same way .

They already offered Nurse Chapel. Or are you referring to T'Pring? 🖖🤓
On reflection I should have perhaps emphasised... 'Mirror mirror' Spock episode ` TOS .

I know ....I know...I'm always playing the 'kubrick comparison card' but I need to say that Medicom made less than 40 odd Marvel characters . That's a tiny amount of characters & I'd have to say that very few were outstanding minifigures unless you mention that 2 of them were Spider-Ham & Venom-Ham whilst another was Venom-Punisher !!!!! Who wouldn't want those characters ....apart from DST High Command.
Spock's beard.
Khartoum's head .
Khartoum's head ? A bit like John Wick's dog , a character from a Minimate licence that should have been made but wasn't .

did kubricks ever do TMNT?

No TMNT kubricks .

None of the Crow unfortunately . I'd love one but out of my league ($1500-2000??).
I do however have a 2 feet tall Andy Warhol 1000% which ....you guessed it....is totally bizarre ...but far & away the best (unknowingly) 'investment' I ever made .

Rhodey War Machine , Alleygator Loki (who knew??) ,Warpath , Deathwalk & U.S. Agent (John Walker) .

Street level ?
Immediately I thought of Trails of Suspense characters but that was a dead end .

I do wonder why Kubricks just suddenly stopped without ceremony. Add another headstone to the brick fig graveyard.
I have no answer to that .
They have not completely ceased production, the latest offering was a single-packed figure sponsored by the US 'Supreme' brand featuring 'The Crow' . In fact there were 2 offerings ,one standard '100%' kubrick & a massive '1000%' version with a massive price-tag . I know little of the 'Supreme' brand but I know that they themed,several years ago, one other kubrick, a Supreme t-shirted 'Kermit' . That regularly sells on ebay for over $250 which ,to me, is quite bizarre . Bizarre is a word often used when I discuss kubricks .
