came here to say this. we'll see i guess

i have a vivid memory of a dream over 40 years ago. i had some sores/scabs growing on my legs that hurt really bad. they grow outwards and eventually became gi joe figures from episodes where they wore different clothes than the normal toy. the only one i really remember though was Shipwreck in his winter coat but i remember waking up thinking how sad i was it wasn't real. seeing the super7 figures coming out now make me really hope they make that shipwreck.

😭

damn -- once again, Barry -- i'm loving this insight. i'm a CPA who couldn't cut it in art/design school so all of this is gold to me. thank you

ordered! let us know if you do any signed stickers or anything and congrats on the new gig!

i remember writing the company when they first acquired diamond but never heard back. time to write again maybe? i'm also really curious on mcfarlane's decision to now come out w/ his own version of block figures for spawn. they kinda look bad though.......and i hate saying anything bad about daddy todd

let me just say that put a BIG smile on my face. brought back memories. i was still working in a toystore when this got announced and the first few waves started coming out. good times. thank you!

sorry to hear things are still rough. i thought to ask how it was going on the luke's stream but figured it was none of my business. i wish i knew how to help. my guess is most of your work is digital but if you can take on some commission work there's a market for that. John Cleary (former mcfarlane artist) also has a patreon where he offers up files for 3d printing. i doubt it brings home a living on its own but its a way to make a few bucks i'm sure. anyways, i hope you find something soon.

wow!! these are great to see. like a director's cut. thanks!! and yeah, still a lot of minimates that i would have loved to see done and some of these were on my list. i'm surprised the wonder man wasn't made. i would have thought that would have been a perfect variant for one of the ones that did get made. i don't know squat about the character so i am not even sure if i have one of the ones that did come out.

i'm definately curious about all of these. most likly will be more interested once i see more. the unreleased stuff especially! main one i'd love to get my hands on is the malificent from kingdom hearts if it exists or any street fighter

i was never a big beer guy until covid. last night i actually dreampt that i had a case of dark stout beer that i had missplaced and was trying to find. i was able to get one bottle back but then had it snatched from me and the dream was spent trying to track down that bottle so i could at least try the beer. if you're ever in Texas i HIGHLY recommend finding some St. Arnolds and/or Brash beer. very good micro brews.

@Barry the polly pocket approach would have been great! i seem to remember a max vehicle that was announced that was kinda like that. thanks for pointing me to this thread too!

i always wondered about this one and i swear there was another one that was a sewer playset much earlier than this one. i think it was some kind of statue material. i can picture it in my head but can't find any pictures. here's the link to the EE listing for the lab playset: https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/minimates-laboratory-playset-with-2-exclusive-figures/dc73117

damn, Barry's story reminded me of when i worked with folks in China. they'd wait up for me to get to the office and even though it was 8 or 9 PM for them they'd ask if i had finished my coffee before we'd get down to business. I am glad to hear i'm not the only one with such a good interaction with folks there. i wish i'd kept up with my main contact there. he was always a pleasure to work with.
