    New Licenses, What would YOU like to see Minimated ?

    in Minimates of Licenses Future

    Posted

    The four main Ghostbusters done movie-style, with proton packs and neutrona blasters (plus they could each come with a separate accessory: ghost trap, PKE meter, those goggles, and Slimer).

    Fight Club 2-pack with Tyler Durden and The Narrator.

    Pulp Fiction 2-pack with Vincent Vega and Jules Winfield.

    The Rocketeer (with removable helmet, of course).

    Reuben Flagg from American Flagg!

    Hunter Rose (with fork and mask straps, maybe a removable mask) and Grendel-Prime.

    Rex Libris, the best comic you aren't reading.

    Don't know if you guys remember the original pictures from Toy Fair, but there was an eighth Minimate pictured: another Tony Stark in a white "wifebeater"-style undershirt, with the thingee in his chest, presumably from when he was held captive and made the Mark I armor. I'm not sure if that one was eventually dropped from the lineup or DST will be coming out with it later (or possibly for the variant).

    This is weird -- the Toy Fair Iron Man Minimate pictures aren't on Action Figure Insider or Marvelous News, but I distinctly remember seeing them, with that other Tony Stark included!

    Minimates from hell!!!

    Ok, FINALLY found out the source of Nestle's "Shi" thing. Shi is a very similar character to Kabuki, but is different. I can see the confusion. Been wondering on that for a while.

    To be fair, the Kabuki comics by David Mack are well-written and gorgeously-illustrated, but the Shi comics by Billy Tucci are relatively generic T&A "bad girl" comics that smack of bad '90s nostalgia.

    Where to find a C3 Batgirl/Flyer?

    I'm trying to remember where I saw the batgirl c3 flyer still for sale online... ebay prices have gone crazy, even on the less popular items like this one.. so I thought I would check here and see if any of you have seen her for sale from an online store (at a reasonable price).

    I've given up on the Batcopter since the only one I've seen in months is $114 (just silly) but ol' Batgirl is one I put off and put off and now I really need to come a step closer to completing my C3 collection. I'm usually not a completest but lately I've had the desire to setup all of my C3 stuff on display around a glued together batcave. :P

    Thanks for any tips you all might have.

    p.s. since this is the DC Minimate thread, I just want to add that I would have loved to have an invisible jet flyer for wonder woman done when C3 was still going on.. now that the justice league is being filled out with minis it is making me wish I had a flyer for each of the founding members.. hahah oh well.. I guess I can try and build one with see through legos...

    A comic shop near me has the Batgirl Minimate loose for something like $8 or $10 -- I forget which. Not exactly cheap, but not a horrible deal either. If you're interested and can pay me via Paypal for cost plus shipping, I could go tomorrow and pick it up.

    who will be first with the wave 2 review and pics today?

    Dr. Fate, like Booster, is adorned in comic book colors but again it works here. His "golden" helmet is removeable and features the goateed portrait of... um, Kent Nelson?

    If there's a goatee then it's Hector Hall, Hawkman & Hawkwoman's son who became the new Doctor Fate at the start of the last JSA series. (It restarted recently.) That basically confirms that all the JSA minimates are going to be from the modern era of JSA characters, if the inclusion of Ma Hunkel & Star Spangled Girl hadn't done that already. So the liklihood of Golden Age characters not part of the current JSA getting minimates are slim. Although that looks like Golden Age Spectre, so I could be wrong.

    Spectre and Ma Hunkel are both in their Golden Age costumes.

    Howdy all, I just registered and this is my first post here. I'm a regular on the RTM Toy Buzz and some other forums, and though I've been collecting action figures for over two decades (I'm 28), I'm very new to Minimates.

    I just bought my second Minimate Daredevil/Ghost Rider 2-pack (of the ones we're talking about that are currently available at Target), and both Daredevils have had a waist that slides right off the central peg. I returned the first one since it was so bad, and this one is a little bit tighter but not much. Is this a common problem with these, or just my bad luck? How were the older Minimate Daredevils' waists? Assuming I don't return this one, how can I tighten it so it still swivels but doesn't slide off so easily?

    For what it's worth, I'm keeping my collection small, and focused on characters I like. I have Spider-Man and brown Wolverine from that Target 2-pack, Iceman and yellow Wolverine (I'd happily trade the yellow one), DD and Ghost Rider (I'd happily trade Ghost Rider), Catwoman from the C3 Batglider, and Green Lantern John Stewart. I'm looking forward to Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, JACK BAUER, Buffy and Angel characters (was this officially announced yet?), and of course I'd love to get Flash and Martian Manhunter, but who wouldn't?
