buttheadsmate

If you go through with it, Shane, I think there should be a section for Galactic Heroes/Super Hero Squad/Robot Heroes/Adventure Heroes/whatever the GI Joe ones are called.

Shame there's not one unifying name for those guys.

I never really got into Kubriks. Too expensive and too ugly. Minimates are much cheaper and more fun.

So yes, LEGO gets a section.

Kubricks , I totally agree are too expensive . Minimates are much cheaper (currently) and more fun. Kubricks,too ugly.......?

in general ,maybe ?...but the Star Wars Kubricks....awesome.

I read in a newspaper article last week that 4 billion ......4 billion..........4 billion Lego figures are in existence. If that's true I think we ought to perhaps have them included.

Do you reckon that's true?

So I am not sure where to put this but my time changes frequently from an hour behind to the current time for posts and the arcade will not save any of my high scores (I beat Ivan's ) for Sonic when I press submit. Am I doing something wrong

I have the same 'hour' thing going on.

Sounds good, I too "dabble" in kubricks(when needed- Omega Red, Juggernaut, etc.). Hey, what about a sub-topic: naked block figure customs.

Gross

Oi! Is that Scully in here undies?!

Yeah ...that was just a teaser .....as is this .........

.....so its no to PALz then?

Great idea,please don't forget Palz!

Aren't they dead? I guess they still have a fan base.

Your right Shanester ,PALz are dead . Let's not have them because nobody would want to see more customs like this

Great idea,please don't forget Palz!

p.s. one of my lesser claim to fames is that I nearly ran Phil Collins over in an underground car park in Brighton (UK) Way back in the 90's.

If only you'd accelerated instead of braked. You'd have been a national hero.

Spooky! I read this thread for the first time ,beginning to end ,moments ago. As soon as I picked up on TBT's 'narrow miss' I was ready to post......& word for word ,Rad beat me to it.

Gay sub-plot? Did I miss something?

With Minimates you have too many moving parts for kids to choke on.

What is the optimum number of Minimate moving parts required to successfully choke a child? Do you need to hold their noses?

In May 2007 'The Independent on Sunday' (newspaper)' Pink List 'named Russell T. Davies -The most influential gay person in Britain.

Just watched tonights episode "The Unicorn & The Wasp" and I will admit I enjoyed Tate in this episode. The scene with the Doctor poisoned in the kitchen doing charades with Donna actually made me laugh out loud. I like the way that the writers are using unsolved mystery's (Christies 10 day disappearance) in story lines.

Excellent episode but yet another completely unnecessary gay sub-plot.

Good ol' Devon boys :biggrin: ......where's mine?

Here's one..

What if.. this thread were to get back on topic?

.......I thought I had dibs on the title ,'grumpy ol' man

I have a stack of loose Wave 6 Iron-Man 'mates which I bought from a (perhaps) relative of the Mandarin on ebay. On inspection none of them had Stark's head & my conscience has always stopped me from glueing the helmets on & selling them on ebay As for head-swaps I now have a veritable cornucopia of choices with all these ferric figures arriving..... happy day!

I always thought that 'What if the Hulk turned into Bruce Banner when he got angry?' would be kind of interesting, as would 'What if Namor couldn't swim?' & 'What if Blackbolt had Tourettes Syndrone?' .

'What if Galactus farted?'

'What if buttheadsmate was funny?'......................

Welcome.

Please no more spider man ,Wolverine or iron man we have enough now Please

New character

My hall of armor is full but

I need the sthealt iron man

I also feel your hall of armo(u)r could do with a few less colo(u)rs,font-sizes & smileys &............

a dictionary stealthily placed .....for the sake of your thealt

I don't mind any of the other 3 hairpiece reuse so far as they have only been used 3 times each and have worked quite well. But once it has been used 3 or 4 times, I think they got there money out of it lol I mean at least give a rest for a couple waves! I really do hope that Dagger gets a different hairpiece as I don't even think it fits her all that well but I wont hold my breath!

Just when I think the trend may be over it seems the Marvel guys have gave into "The Rachel" as well! Its like a virus I tell you!!! lol

I see you've got the rare Kingpin variant.

I think the Liv Tyler mate suffers from not having a nose, as that is a defining feature of her face.............. General Ross is really cool, and so I think DST's biggest mistake here is making him the variant.

Do you think that these are only fairly recent prototypes...........

Dan have you never noticed Liv tyler's mouth?

& here's a much earlier Ross prototype

Now, I don't know anything about how decisions are made behind the scenes at DST (I'm sure TBT knows a lot more about this than I ever will),

The official line is a well researched blend of heavy drinking and a dartboard according to past Q&A's

Civil War Box sets courtesy of Shanester available now from me for £11 inc. postage to all UK members while the stock lasts .PM 's only please. First come first served.

This series continues to impress but why did the

turn up? OK it might not have been called that but the similarity was amazing. So UNIT supposedly has that type of technology yet they're still driving Land Rovers? Very few Land Rover's will even start up let alone help in the fight against aliens. Keep it simple BBC!

Yet another example of 'mates-promotion missed. Give me the repro & I'll produce ..at cost.

All of you guys getting multiple sets: you do know that you can usually find these listed individually on eBay, right? Why buy all those extras when you don't have to?

Minimates,when sold individually, become lonely On the other hand box-sets often require company therefore a case is the only answer. A case can also feel a tad insecure..... :biggrin:

Arrived this morning but I've been so busy with work that I couldn't get an opportunity to have a look at them . I have now & they are stunning. It's all been said & I've read all the reviews but nothing prepares you for Cap.
