TBT!

Cool TBT. Who are special forces guys behind Robot Mob Boss?

Old Customs, figured mob boss needed henchmen.

p.s. I'm surprise no one has commented on the use of 2.5" limbs on one of the figs in that pic.

Wow 5 year aniversary Necro! - For want of a better spot to put these I thought here was as good a place as any.

After playing with the build a figure booth at C2E2, I kind of got the QC bug again and now have a slew of new 'These exist because they amused me' QC's

Most are silly and will end up back in the parts bin at some point but I really like a couple of them, so thought I'd share.

Group shot of the minimates currently living on my desk.

"Space Bear", Robot Mob Boss, Modified Build a mate, Snake Guy.

Medusa with snake tail, Alt Lara Croft, Alt Nina Myers, Red, Scavenger Jackal.

Z.Punisher, Z. Logan, Z M.Murdoch, Z. T.Stark. Lurking in the background is Negan.

As always, comments, questions and general abuse is welcome!

Hey Additu,

That's a really cool idea, I love that you get a the LED effects without all the hard work

Hi guys, I just wanted to say how awesome I think it is that Luke finally got an exclusive set for the store, well done Luke, so well deserved!

Also the MMMV blank rocks. It bugs me just a little that I got out of Minimates and then Zach came along onto the forum and has been so great to us!

Wait what... Is that a new post from Danny that I spy? I thought you'd fallen off the planet and were floating around Jupiter or something.

Hope life's treating you well?

T.

All your picks of the Giant Mirror Bean? Dammit!

Yep... I actually looked at them when I got home and there were some great pix, so something must have happened since then

Heck I even posted 3 to Facebook...

I really need to get into a better habit of backing my pix up straight away. The fact that I know they were there and I haven't taken any since gives me hope for recovery.

T.

I just went to look at & post some of the photo's I took of the protos Luke had at the meetup and found out my memory card is jacked up

So not only did I (probably)loose these pix but a lot of those I took at the meetup and of Chicago on Sunday morning.

I do have some access to recovery software and will try to see what I can get back over the weekend.

T.

The thing that is interesting is that if you read the 'complaints' first cause of action is that it's actually worded as

"Misrepresentations and the failure to deliver rewards" While the second is "Failure to Refund".

I think the biggest thing here is the use of the word 'rewards' as the point of contention in a legal document.
(5.2 a & b. ) specifically.

I'm no legal eagle but have read enough of this type of document to know that that wording could make a huge impact in how people see rewards for group funding going forward.

T.

This makes for interesting reading and could set a legal precedent.

say with battle damaged Bishop,

If they do this then they have to give him 'crawling zombies' entrails but molded in a milky white colour!

T.

And I'm done with this thread... Take it to PM's if you guys want to Bicker like children, I don't want to hear it!

T.

You know nothing, Andy Livingston!

I'm amused as he's a member here. I'm not going to name and shame him but will allow him to decide if he wants to come forward and comment, although it would be amusing to hear him chip in...

T.

WOO HOO!!!! I am so friggin excited!!! Congrats to the other lucky winners and a huge thank you to TBT and Shane for running this so that us folk that couldn't attend C2E2 can have a piece of MMMV history! And of course thank you to DST for producing a little something special for this very special piece of the internet we all call home This will be a treasured addition to my collection.

Way... too... excited... I withdraw your winning number.....

T.

p.s. yes I'm kidding.

Congratulations to the lucky winners who are (in order of posting):

LastWeaponsmaster

Send me a PM with your contact details and we'll get your AMAZING MinimateMultiverse C2E2 exclusive out in the post just as soon as Shane sobers up.

T.

p.s. I stil cant believe we talked DST into making a MMV minimate!

p.p.s. Keep an eye out for more contests soon!

This is probably a strange question but:

How do all of you open the "full window" (The Walking Dead, Star Trek, etc.) while minimizing damage to the packaging? Just curious.

We don't.... If you don't tear the packaging open with "Joyous gusto to free your new miniature friends" then you're not doing it right

As for packaging in general I do appreciate all the art etc that goes into the packaging, esp for some of the 4 packs but don't keep packaging for anything that's opened... it's just kipple!

T.

p.s. has anyone thought of using packaging as loft insulation?

Wow such a great response to this contest, both in numbers and how you responded.

A quick reminder I'm closing entries at midnight (PST) tonight and will pick the 5 lucky winners at random tomorrow.

T.

I don't think I've looked in here before ( shame on me!).

There's some great stuff in here Prowlar, I esp love the Universal monster and Zombie customs.

T.

Wow, thanks Delta!

... wish my phone would lemme watch it.

I wanna see if the Godzilla designs are shown.

I don't have time to watch the entire panel, but if you do see them, help a brother out and post the timecode? I want to see these.

Pretty early, It's around 2 minutes or so into the panel.

T.

I've got a bad feeling about this...

I don't think having the original cast back is a good idea, unless they are just cameos. I also think just for giggles they should but Fisher back in the gold Bikini.

T.

Definitely fine by me.

I just left for Work i'll post them when I get home this evening.

T.

These did look great and I got to see Luke playing with the prototypes at the meetup.

Still waiting on those pix...

Ooops yesterday was chaos at work and I forgot... I do want to check in with Luke that it's ok to post them first though.

T.

I'm limited to internet use on my phone at home so I couldn't post as much as I wanted until I got to work and could use the internet here. You guys summed it up really well but I have to have my little bit of a say, too:

Far and away, I think the most famous Godzilla monsters (besides Godzilla himself) are Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, King Ghidorah and Mecha Godzilla. They're Godzilla's most repeated friends/foes in the movies/comics. Any of those missing from a line and it looks and feels incomplete as Hell. I buy Godzilla vinyls. The expensive, art kind from Japan. I just *today* got THE Mothra for my set that I've been waiting to see offered since 2009. Until today, my collection looked incomplete.

But no Rodan? C'mon... that's crap. No Rodan is like the Avengers without Iron Man or the Justice League without the Flash.

I want characters like Manda, Ebirah and *eventually* Jet Jaguar. But as a self-proclaimed "Monster Kid" who bought/traded to get apprx. 10 of each Universal Monsters sets to lend support to the line (even when it was cancelled), I really do want the Godzilla stuff to succeed. Getting Gigan before (or instead of) Rodan is just as disheartening as getting Frank Whemple but not Ardeth Bey (or Invisible Man)!

Please say it isn't so, Zach, and that you were just teasing us a little or something. There seems to be an awful lot of love for these characters.

I really want to support this line... but the sound of one of the really really classic monsters from the movies getting passed over before the first set has even been released is a real depressing sign.

I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle, I'm just seeing a pattern of them spreading things out as they did with most other licenses.

If they put all the 'heavy hitters' in the first wave then sales would dry up after that because everyone had all the characters they wanted. It took us how many waves to get a Thor for marvel mates?

T.

Hey Man, Thanks for doing this,

I know Shane had to jump through a lot of hoops to get permission from C2E2 to do this but I'm glad it gives those who weren't there a chance to see the panel.

T.

Anyone who wasn't at the show might want to mosey on over to the contests section, why, oh no specific reason... other than I just posted a contest giving away 5 of the C2E2 MMMV exclusive blanks.

We're going to be giving them away as a series of randomly scheduled contests to give more folks a chance to enter.

T.

What are we asking you to do?

Just complete the following phrase "I love minimates because..." and we'll draw 5 random entries from the answers posted before Wednesday evening.

Rules are pretty simple:

1) I'll pick 5 random winners sometime after I get home from work on Wednesday or Thursday evening.

2) Keep the answers suitable for all ages, we try to be a family friendly forum.

3) If you already have one of these, please don't enter, we're trying to get these out to as many members as possible, let's not be greedy.

4) Yes we have more than 5 to giveaway, but are going to do it in a series of contests/giveaways rather all at once.

5) MMMV staff reserve the right to change or add new rules as we go along.

If you have any questions about the contest then shoot me a PM.

T.

I'm sorry you feel that way MisterMiracle, but feel the title of the thread is a little misleading. You're frustrated but do you honestly believe that the forums have turned sour because someone hasn't responded to you in a week?

Trades take work from both sides to run smoothly & if you're not happy with how someone is conducting a trade with you and haven't finalized a deal you can always walk away from it.

Personally I haven't encountered any issues, I think it helps to have realistic expectations and understand that we all have busy schedules. These are just toys and a hobby, so are not the highest priority in some of our lives, myself included.

I don't trade very much these days and am mindful of who I will trade with when I do, I'd say there were a couple of dozen people here who I wouldn't hesitate to trade with and have never had issues with those guys.
