It's difficult for me to remain interested in this licence when all I recall about Power Rangers when it was on the TV was my gratitude for a nearby TV remote. That's my age & my honesty ..& not anything nasty or snarky. The product & their reception, by those that obviously love them ,is far more important . So ,the one thing that caught my eye on the packaging for these is the different looking Minimates Logo. Had people been criticising the old one?

Stunning stuff.

There's a company called `Sonner Toys' who are advertising them .

My feelings were made in the post above but I realise that many of us are completely divided .....that's the way the world has gone unfortunately on everything .....on the relevance of packaging . A word of warning to DST , there have been several documented accounts of 'blistered' Minimates where the blisters were shoddily applied...they regularly came off . If these 'flagship' packaged mates fall into that category then the whole concept will crash in flames .

I'm genuinely pleased for those that are pleased with the announcement of these wrestling 'mates.

He's a master.

Blinking marvellous Luke. I couldn't think of anything cornea. -blueeyesmate

Fortnite ? Micronauts ? Battle Beasts ...relaunch?

I've run 'nrobots' post past the gynecology dept. & they've positively confirmed what I was thinking about him & his post.

..& are now known as the not-so-young Avengers ? ...& are perhaps the Newer Champions ? I can't wait for the Not-so-Ancient One & The Less than Eternals , Younger Man Logan & Tony Stork * -ol'butt *Get it ?

Bad-ass in so many ways. -buttsun-drilledmate

+ Pathfinder - Lamia

I'd give up beer* for all the Minimates that could have been . * & lying

....like the Kronan Stone Man (of Saturn) which was the Thing with a different moulded head .

I'm not entirely sure which Marvel characters appeared on Disney +, costumed . I am entirely sure that the Netflix Minimates weren't as popular as DST might have hoped , I am being polite . One of those Netlix box-sets commands a premium on ebay.com & that is probably because it was produced in fewer numbers . I cannot confirm that with any certainty ....except that I'm usually right . I see a lot of Netflix 'mates on UK ebay , often a sign that secondary sellers are buying from UK discount stores who have had dumps of unsold US stock , similar to the current WG glut . Netflix Minimates are abundant on US ebay at nigh on original price,apart from the one I have mentioned . Personally I felt that the Netflix 'mates were well produced,full of accessories but ultimately civilians. Netflix ain't Disney so I hope we get some costumed Minimates because costumed minimates are what I feel are the 'mates that people desire . I could have just posted just that last sentence but I was in the mood.

Thanks WB , Newsworthy I had my suspicions that B & M would eventually be a major outlet for the WG mates . UK ebay is awash with WG 'mate listings now & they were obviously being retailed somewhere !!

OK ..OK

I'll definitely let this go after I say just this.... Minimates are designed for interchangeability ,I get that I really do but which Minimate would anybody want to put 'Thing's' separate headpiece onto apart from another 'Thing' ? Who would put an actual hairpiece on to a Thing head ? It ain't 'appening Just mould a one-piece sculpted head ,paint it & be done ?

I was surprised at how much I actually liked Turtle Minimates when I saw them for the first time .They are ,IMHO , also some of the best quality Minimates ever made . I yearn for certain Minimates to be given sculpted heads when they beg for one ....notably Marvel's Thing which has become a joke ......but in this instance I would agree that they should stay the way they are.

At first glance that looks like the ingredients for a curry.

dibs.

Sadly I have to add The Beast, out of the 10 we have had none of them conjures up what I consider to be a definitive early 60's version , the FA duck-footed/ pink gloved version is just sad. Beast had massive biceps, hands & feet ...the Minimate should have the same with proper moulded parts . Mimic is desperately needed & would need those same massive biceps,hands & feet. ....& a snowman Iceman.

There are a couple of Battlefield Baseball promo kubricks that define the word "disgusting" , think 'Old Lady' bathroom scene in The Shining Which leads me to think of a grail of mine , a series of STANLEY Kubrick movie Minimates . Oh the irony!

As many of you know ,my mind works in mysterious ways . I see the word Roblox & I immediately think Bollocks which leads me to Never Mind etc.etc. / Sex Pistols which leads me to one of several Kubrick 'music band/group' licenses . I'd enjoy some music minimates but.......... .........that led me to trawling through my list of all the Medicom kubrick licenses & there is one that just shouts "Minimates". Metal Gear Solid. BTW medicom produced 2 waves of wrestlers (Muscle Men/kinnikuman) & a rather superb series of Battlefield Baseball kubricks .
