There are many dumber ideas that Art Asylum could do that would kill the company: - Golden Girls Minimates - Spice Girls Minimates - Vice-Presidents of the United States Minimates - Famous Magazine Publishers of the 19th Century Minimates - "The Many Faces of Chevy Chase" Minimates - Die-Cast Iron Minimates

What's the name of the Fantastic Four's postman?

Sword in his right hand, silver spike in his left. Here, have a better picture:

Amazing Spider-Man #149 and Professor Miles Warren, the Jackal?

You know what they say - "Great minds think alike. And sometimes dress alike".

Correct! Take it away!

It's not procrastinating - it's impulsiveness.

What's the name of the Vision's "human" identity?

The Wendigo?

Wow, I feel like I showed up at the dance wearing the same dress as someone else. I knew I should have went with my Roy Orbison custom...

I never found the Street Fighter Minimates at retail back when I lived in Austin. I could find LOTR mates, Marvel mates, even the old Star Trek mates. But outside of the GameCrazy exclusive, I never found a store that had the Street Fighter mates. I ended up trading or ordering the figures I needed. The lack of availability really hurt this line. I'm interested to see if the new 4-packs at TRU help the line, or make a convenient way for AA to get rid of excess stock.

The two-inch body is good, I think. The bigger 3-inch body would make them look awkward, I think. I'll wait and see what the sculpted heads look like. I see a lot of custom possibilities from the Tony artwork: - Arms, legs & tail for an easy Tigra custom - Chest piece for Bishop - Head for Man-Wolf (with some modifications) Now I must figure out if a Toucan Sam could be used to make a Vulture...

They're $1.97 a piece. And 'devil - PM about the Thing.

Has anyone else seen these? I found these at Wal-Mart in the cheap toy aisle. There's 24 different Marvel characters that are like mini-statues, but with oversized heads, like they should be head-bobblers. The interesting part is that they come blind-packaged, with apparently crappy case ratios. I've bought seven of them, and gotten two duplicates - Archangel and the Thing. And as a bonus - they come with gumballs!

Are there designs/plans for Minimates out there that, for one reason or another, did not get made?

It is a pretty neat roster. I'm happy to see Vixen, Black Lightning, Black Canary and Red Tornado in the League. Not happy to see the return of Arsenal's "Red Arrow" suit. And I want to see a better shot of Black Lighning's costume before I decide it's horrible and start a campaign to bring back his disco-suit and afro look.

What characters would you put in a Civil War line? - Cap / Falcon - Iron Spidey / Modern Iron Man - Returning Thor / Hercules

That's good to hear. Makes me curious if there's a different body type for Penguin - could be useful for other short characters like the Guardians of the Universe.

There's no Dr. Fate picture either. Obviously they have run off together...

Bake sale?

Random thoughts: - We send Ady out on a "media junket", where he can get interviewed at other web sites and help spread the word. (I have no idea what web sites - something pop-culture related, but not just Minimate. People's blogs, maybe?) - Print more T-shirts with the URL? Maybe a T-shirt giveaway? - The exclusive Minimate Multiverse Minimate? - More publicity for the customizing contests. If we target the other action figure forums, we might be able to attract new customizers who could enjoy doing a simple Minimate custom. - Add a permanent link from my own site (probably with the redesign)

Ares, the god of war and a major foe of Wonder Woman. And he looks good as a Minimate.

Hmmm, a Nightcrawler / classic Storm two-pack sounds good. Make it happen, Target!

My thoughts: - Curious to see how Penguin will look next to another Minimate. He should be a little shorter, but with that top hat, I'm afraid he may be too tall. - Very impressed that Deathstroke comes with removeable helmet & hairpiece. - Booster looks great. And it looks like Skeets is attached to that special piece Booster is wearing around his waist. - Ares = very nice - Beetle = very very nice - I was not expecting the bug-eye goggles. - The only thing that bugs me is the fact that Batman's cowl is printed on, and doesn't have a cut-out for his mouth.
