i think for luke this is a hobby but one of love for the brand. Oddly enough i hit his store friday and just ordered a bunch of random stuff i’d been wanting to get. Not a huge order or anything but i think it’d be great if everyone that could went and picked up some spare parts. this may get me back into what got me into minimates originally - which was the potential to customize the shit outta them

well shoot! sign me up for both!!

i guess business as usual. are these a surprise to us or something we knew about?

goddamn!!!!!! i'm not sure i remember seeing this. that's pretty much 2 figures in one! no wonder she was the one to get cut! 😮

big hug to you.

Seconded!!

i remember getting the sauron and the super skrull/thing. not sure if i kept the thing but i still have the super skrull and the sauron. wasn't sure if there were any other characters exclusive to them. i found the promo on ebay for $10 so i went ahead and ordered it. my guess on the very first minimate is going to be the art asylum promo one they handed out at NYTF -- not sure what year. but my place of employment had an account with them and my boss brought back a bag of goodies and that was in there and i grabbed it. i was really into kubricks at the time so it was right along my level of interest. then i got the rob zombie one at spencers in the mall. i was more pleased with the line when they switched to the smaller format.

a little late but i just watched the documentary on Tower Records ("all things must pass" - directed by colin hanks). it reminded me about them having exclusive minimates. anyone have a list of which ones were their exclusives? also curious to hunt down the promotional ones they had. i don't recall a tower in houston but i remember going to the one in austin, LA, and NY though and just thinking it was beautiful. i didn't know the history though. yeah, the prices were nuts but when it came to selection and imports they were pretty darn the best

Nice!!

Oh smack- I’d love to see em then! My apologies

i got a couple of them. they're a little bigger than minimates -- more like gi joe's. they're really cool though!

hell yeah!

great movie with a kickass score by trent reznor! i actually had no idea it was called mutant meyhem.........

agreed. these are awesome and i'd probably buy more than i should of these. just ask my 44 crazy 88's.
