hmm, after much deliberation I choose 38

Lobo/Ambush Bug!? HURRAY! This is even better hilarious Giffen goodness than the Blue Beetle/Booster Gold set.

Got my prize today, big thanks Luke!

Someone made a transforming Optimus 'mate!? Links/pics plz!

Coming soon to a PC near you:

Clockwork Orange poster from contest

Iron Man background poster

Daily Bugle billboard

generic thug roll call:

note the swank Minimate bling

crazed gutter punk #12 w/ mustard shirt

80s action movie Yakuza thug, possibly from "Beat It" video?

Wait....what? I actually managed to get 2nd after all the great entries that came in? There's just so many people I want to thank....Luke for holding this contest, my girlfriend for believing in me when I'd given up, all the members of the forum, and of course Jay-Z. It's the Roc, holla!

That wizard sure did a great job. I award him +3 charisma and a Robe Of Greater Casting.

Since it's a given that series 2 of the Street Fighter 2/Darkstalkers Minimates is never going to see the light of day, what are the odds of any of the unique pieces from those figures being used for other lines/waves of figures? I don't mean the fireballs that were reused in the Spiderman box set, but the others such as Talbain's wolfhead or Guile's hair.

I hate fat chicks who wear clothes smaller than what they should wear!!

Y'know what they say; "if you've got it, flaunt it". Apparently they've got plenty of whatever it is. Cellulite, most likely.

Why is it that everytime I turn on the radio I hear the same five songs fifteen times a day for three months?

I got a white Wizard World Chicago '05 blank. I sent my reciept in to the old address scant days before they announced the change, so keep watching those mailboxes if you think yours got lost in the shuffle.

I had some leftover sketches from entering luke214pi's movie poster contest, so I figured I'd put them to good use as standard characters instead of movie posters. Anyone else have some Minimate drawings to share? I'll be posting more at my leisure.

Congratulations Antacost, Nervous, and Boyd. Great work from all the entrants (as usual).

My friend sent one out too and hasn't gotten it yet. Maybe their doing it in sections, who knows. I sent it to the first address and he sent it to the updated address.

Same here, I sent mine to the old address and my brother sent his to the new address, neither of us have recieved anything yet. Maybe supplies have run out?

alright. after much deliberation here are my top three,

1. MINI_MYTE's CAPTAIN BOOMERANG

2. Newaddict's The Vulture

3. luke314pi's Classic Sabretooth

great entries one and all!

*psssst* you gotta PM those to AmazingJL

This is probably the first and only time this will ever be said, but I wish the Desperately Seeking Susan Minimates were out now. Why? So I could make a picture of a Madonna Minimate popping out of a cake. Nothing says "happy birthday" like cake and Madonna (before she became frightening).

Anyone else add them yet? Not quite sure how they're running the picture contest mentioned in the Radicals Confidential, just to be safe I posted them on their comments and sent them via PM. And for all the ladies out there (both of you), sorry, but the suave gentleman in the weird pink and plaid ensemble is taken.

Is it just me, or does the hairpiece for the box set exclusive Hydro Man look like the hairpiece originally intended for Guile? It would seem my hopes for a Guile Minimate aren't completely dashed, they'll just now require some tinkering.

Behold! I have finished:

and the original:

So, whaddaya guys think? Hope someone at AA/DST sees it and gets some ideas. I'm just glad I managed to finish it before someone else did their own Clockwork Orange, I can't be the only one that thought it'd be funny to see the word Kubrick on a Minimate poster.

1. LOBO

2. Kyle Rayner

3. Wildcat

4. new Blue Beetle

5. Black Adam

6. Azreal

7. Aztek

10. Johnny Sorrow

Superman variant: black suit Superman

Wow! I already pre-ordered the box set, now I'm gonna have to deal with eBay scalpers to have a complete zombie horde.

Is it necessary to include the Minimates logo at the bottom like AA did for most of those toy show posters?

I'd like to think it'll end up in "what were we thinking!?" limbo with (hopefully) Desperately Seeking Susan.

Is someone keeping score, making a list? Maybe we can do a final tally and send a huge thank you card from all of us.

Sounds good to me, though I think we need two tallies. One listing names for a thank you card and another to determine the approximate ratio of the figures handed out (sorry, math nerd). Seems to there are five commonly sent ones, I just haven't taken time to calculate approximate odds of getting any one in particular.
