  1. Don't know if this has already been suggested (I'm new here and must admit I haven't read through this entire thread), but I'd LOVE to see DragonballZ Minimates. A few other anime properties would be great as well

    THIS!!!!

    Don't know if this has already been suggested (I'm new here and must admit I haven't read through this entire thread), but I'd LOVE to see DragonballZ Minimates. A few other anime properties would be great as well

    I would absolutely love DBZ Minimates (my wallet, on the other hand...).

    Has this idea ever been pitched before? Or are we three the only ones who think this is a good idea?

  2. Unification Spock would be a welcome addition to this Trek fan's Minimate collection.

    My DC Minimate collection is missing Man-Bat and Martian Manhunter (the latter due to a trade that went unfulfilled).

    Somehow I missed out on the Iron Spider-Man 'mate but since he was missing the legs protruding from his back, I'm hoping DST revisits the figure someday with an upgrade.

    Like so many other Star Wars collectors, I need a Vintage Yak Face and Blue Snaggletooth to complete that childhood set.

    What I really need is a time machine, in part to save a few of the toys I ended up ditching as a wee lad.

    Oh, if only... lol!

    As far as "Grails" go, for Minimates, I'd love to get a TRU Warpath (w/ X-Factor Angel). I only recently became aware of this figure, but since seeing it I have beemn pining over it.

    I most likely will just go through with my original plan to "make" myself a Warpath out of Thunderbird and X-Force Warpath (w/Prof. X).

    Happy hunting everyone!

  3. MM stands for Minimates, and ao(pronounced like ouch without the ch) is what most of my friends and family call me. It is part of my Hawaiian name Keaoulilani, which means "The white cloud on the horizon".

    As for my avatar, it is a pic of Deadpool, Cable, Wolvie and Spidey in my MP sized Roller for my MP-04 Optimus Prime. It's the only pic I currently have with Minimates in it, though I hope to take more very soon.

    Aloha!

  4. DUDE! The Deadpool in my signature was the first MM I bought, followed up by Spidey/Goblin. Big time Deadpool fan, I'm actually planning a "Saint Deadpool" tattoo from the wrist to my elbow on the back of my right forearm. Think the Virgin Mary, but under the shroud is Deadpool, and instead of praying, wielding a pistol.

    I just added some photos to the pic thread, check it out and let me know whatcha think!

    Damn man, that tat sounds INSANE! If you do get it blasted, I'd love to see pics of it.

    ...and your pics! You clearly have got some talent dude. I don't know what it is, but that Ironman pic with the black background is just mesmerizing! I look forward t oseeing your future work.

  5. Long time lurker, first time posting! You asked if there were any other Islanders on here, I don't know if I can be considered an Islander yet, but I just moved (got stationed) here a few months ago. You know of any good spots to hunt for mates without ordering everything online? And I'm with you on the blue and gold teams, I've got just about every 90`s x-men fig they've put out.

    Nice! I hope your time in the islands has been good so far. As for where to go hunting, I have pretty much just been buying online, though I have checked out TRU a few times in the past month.

    Let me know what you're looking for and I'll let you know if I come across anything of interest.

    ...and congrats on the blue and gold teams. I hope to get there soon!

    Is Actionfigurexpress a MMMV member or something?

    They're a major Minimate supplier & have (now I've checked it out) an Hawaiian base...branch...corporate base (?)

    Good to know. Appreciate the info. I'll definitely check them out.

  6. Quirky Brits <_< :tongue:

    Welcome aboard :thumbsup:

    I think I'm right in saying that there is an Hawaiian connection with Actionfigurexpress....anybody confirm?

    Is Actionfigurexpress a MMMV member or something?

    Welcome. I like that picture of everybody riding in whatever that tank thing is. Cable looks super excited to be there, not driving.

    GLad you liked that pic, and that vehicle they're riding in as an over-sized "Roller" that I bought for my MP-04 Optimus Prime. I think it's pretty cool that they fit in (more or less) so well.

    Thanks again for putting out the welcoming mat everyone!

  7. Ant-Man pics. I'll post larger versions on here after the holiday weekend.

    WOW! Great pics there dude. Loving the outdoor shots! I think I have to get some of my MMs outside... Really like the Monopoly pics too.

    Agreed. It's an awesome picture, Mmao! Possible caption: "You came to the wrong neighborhood, mother f*****!" :P

    Love the pics MMao /Lurch.

    Absolutely no problems with finding actual-size props with Ant-Man ! :biggrin:

    Thanks for the props guys!

  8. Wow great picture MMao, love it when transformers and minimates team up. The only question i have is what did you use for the background?

    That's that slip resistant stuff you find in rolls in the home deptartment. My shelving was a bit slippery for some of my bigger Transformers, so I bought a roll of this stuff in black, and still have a ton left over. Makes a pretty interesting backdrop with the texture and all, huh?

    And thanks for the compliment on the pic. Glad you liked it!

  9. Welcome to the multiverse MMao. I'm a huge fan of that cable too!

    DEFINITELY!!! I go back and forth between retro Cable and Deadpool, can't decide which is my favorite.

    I recently purchased the X-Force 4 pack, with Cable and 1st appearance Deadpool. Still waiting for it to arrive here in the islands. Can't wait to see those guys in person too.

    And thanks for the welcome!

  10. Hi and welcome.

    Don't forget to use the database as it will show you if a specific character you want is released in what wave etc.

    http://www.minimatedatabase.com/default.php

    Yeah, I stumbled upon the database a few days before I came across this site. It's been a GREAT tool of knowledge. Thanks for the heads-up though!

    Well goodbye to you, too! :P

    Ha! So I see you are already fluent in the double meaning of Hawaiian words huh? lol!

    Welcome.

    Hawaiian Warriors & Hula Girls?

    Umm... We've got some quirky Brits, a curmudgeonly Texan, and... girls, huh... we got NorthRaider... but I've never seen her wear a grass skirt, or dance the Hula, or dance, or seen her at all ever.

    Oh, Hawaiian Warrior/Hula Girl minimates! My bad.

    lol! Sounds like quite the mix here in the Multiverse. I look forward to adding a little Aloha to the pot.

    Does anyone know of any other islanders that have already joined up here?

    And thanks for the welcome everyone!

  11. A big ALOHA to everyone here in the Minimate Multiverse!

    I'm a long time Minimate fan, though I just recently began pouring more money (too much my wife would say, lol)into collecting them. I just happend to stumble upon this site while in search of my next Minimate aquisitions, and so far it seems like this is the place for a Minimate hunter "in training" to be!

    The very first Minimate I fell in love with was Deadpool (HUGE fan!). I bought the Heroes and Adversaries set with Wolvie, Spidey (also a HUGE fan of both) and Venom. Shortly after that I found the retro Cable (another favorite of mine) & X-23 2 pack and was pretty much set for a while... up until a little less than a month ago that is.

    Now I am trying to complete both gold and blue teams of the 90's X-Men lineups, and the original X-Force lineup as well. From there, who knows.

    Anyway, I look forward to interacting with everyone on this site, and tapping into the knowledge available from this fandom.

    Aloha and mahalo,

    Mana
