Announced: Battle-Suit Luthor

Wanted: Jack Knight Starman. Or Metamorpho. Or an old-school Brainiac, back when he was all robotic and silver.

Oh shoot, I thought you were going to say, "this old school Brainiac"!

Say Hello to Green Genes!

Uh weird...I thought Supergirl was going to be in that, not Superboy. And is um...Timber Wolf a boy or girl...?!

"My journey went thus:"

"I'll just buy the Avengers characters"

"I'll just get the Marvel stuff"

"I'll just get the Comic book stuff"

"I'll just get 2"ers"

"I may as well get LOTR for that invisible Frodo and for making Custom giant-sized characters"

"I might as well collect the X-men too"

and now Im at the "Hmmm, I don't have that extra Batman character that comes with..."

Darn and here I was thinking this was going to be a Minimates game like Lego Star Wars! My hopes are dashed!

Maybe they can be in the next wave, with Titanno, Congorilla, Solivar, and the Gorilla Boss of Gotham City.

Ahhh Titanno! That's the one I was trying to remember! Thanks!

Man, DC has a lot of monkey characters...

And yet no monkey minimate representation....damn, filthy humans!

We should get a Allan Scott and Solomon Grundy 2-pack! (I think someone already said this)

oooooooooooooooooo...nice!

All of them!

Darn, why do I always have to choose...?!

Waves: Absorbing Man, because he was one of the first purchases I made.

Exclusives: Power Man & Iron Fist (super cool!)

Boxed Sets: Classic X-men

And the one figure I really couldn't do without: Iron Man (red/yellow), this one reminds me of my favorite era of comic books reading, the Perez/Byrne Avengers

Might as well throw rocks and garbage at me too!

I'm not much of an X-men fan. I like the classic characters and costumes alot better. If it had been an Avengers boxed set, I'd buy at least one.

Inhumans and X-statix would be cool too, but I'd like to see some more classics first.

Durh...just reread that, stupidest comment ever! Inhumans ARE classic. I meant "a few more classics before X-statix". Geez, 'panda!

Jason, don't worry. Once I put up my Customs, people will be too busy laughing at mine.

Oh, wait a sec ... did Martian Manhunter only come in the Mini-Jav? In that case, I think I have that!

Tsk, tsk, you forgot Monsieur Mallah and Beppo!

I'd actually buy it for Detective Chimp, Gorilla Grodd, Ultra-Humanite, and Monsieur Mallah.

Then again...there are very few minimates I don't buy!

Daredevil #1 would be way too cool. I'd also vote for Defenders (Namor/Dr Strange!) or Avengers (Thor!).

Inhumans and X-statix would be cool too, but I'd like to see some more classics first.

Also, a Groo set would be cool since I can never down the PVC set.

Oops, I did score two Classic X-men boxed sets from a comic shop in a small town. My Wife thought I was a little crazy to spend so much, let alone buy them out (they just had the two). But I was smart and sold the 2nd one on Ebay for a decent price.

I've also picked up a few minis from a local comic store, but they infrequently carry them and have a higher mark-up. I've inquired about getting more minis at that store several times, but they just didn't seem interested.

Series 1: Luthor, Series 2: Blue Beetle/ Dr Fate, Series 3: Aqua Man, Ocean Master, Deathstroke, Green Arrow...

Ah c'mon! What do you mean pick just ONE!?!?! Dagnabbit, I guess it's Blue Beetle. He's a cool character (well, the original was). I didn't expect him to be mini'd, as he didn't even make it to the JLU cartoon.

I'm also glad that Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Green Arrow are being made. They round out a Super Friends/Silver Age JLA team. I'm much more excited about the DC minis than the Marvel ones coming out this time around.

As for what I'd like to see, basically EVERYTHING. Heh.

Good Guy: The Atom (Ray Palmer)

Bad Guy: Ultra-Humanite ... or Despero ... or Mongul ... or Deadshot ... or.... Solomon Grundy .... or ....

Hmm, don't think I ever saw the Batcopter in stores, but it didn't really appeal to me anyway. I did manage to score the Batcycle, just for Man-Bat. I never saw the Mini-Javelin though.

Ahhh ... that's where I went wrong! My Master Plan always involved cotton candy, marshmallow bunnies, and those dreadful candy corns. I should've known that paint stripper could be used to conquer the world!

More customs? Cool! Bring on the DC oddballs!

I dug thru my box a little while ago and found a couple of my old customs. They were stowed away since our last move. I'll try to get some decent pictures and upload them for laughs.

Would love to see Justice Society and Teen Titans Waves. Especially if they had the Brotherhood of Evil or the Fearsome Five.

If the Master Plan is to draw me to your website, then keep cranking out more customs!

Great to see ya here, Boyd. Thanks for the news about this forum and also the new DC set. I'd honestly just about given up hope on minis.

Last time I 'rediscovered' Minimates I found a bunch of Marvel wave 10 & 11 at a comic convention in Seattle. They were selling fairly cheap and I was lucky enough to pick up quite a few. I hadn't seen Minimates in stores for quite awhile and I thought they'd become extinct.

My previous purchases were from Toys R' Us, Ebay, Tower Records, and Target. The latter had very few and I mainly gobbled them up for Customs. I was never able to find minis at Walmart.

Thanks guys.

I remember luke314pi's customs from before and after looking at his new website, looks like they've gotten better and better! I haven't had time to get back into making customs lately, but if I do I'll post here to let you know.

This forum looks pretty cool, I found it while browsing Boyd's site the other day.

I used to visit the AA boards for awhile and attempted a few customs. Nothing to write home about, but I'm glad to see that Minimates are alive and kicking. Especially the new DC sets that are coming out!
