MINI_MYTE

The second set of Godzilla minimates is amazing. The sculpting on Mecha G and Hedorah are worth the price of the set. Well done DST. You hit the ball out of the park with these. Just for giggles, I slapped together this little diorama to showcase the kaiju in all their glory. The buildings are courtesy of the Monsterpocalypse game.

Canadian TRUs may be in a lull like US TRUs, but they should still carry them. Any Canadians see anything recently?

The last Minimates to ever grace TRU here in Canada were the Tomb Raider wave, Marvel wave 16 and the A vs XM 4-pack. Forum member pickle (who worked TRU Canada) said that their system no longer showed upcoming waves. It's been barren (minimatewise) for more than a year. Sh!tty if you ask me. ?

I just wanted to give a big thanks to all those who participated in this year's vote. The data has been tabulated (I'm using Microsoft Excel this year) and the winners have been selected. Now the hard part starts. I will keep you guys posted in the weeks to come about the progress of the Award Show / Red Carpet Extravaganza. See you all in a bit.

Take care.

Got a boat load of votes in this week. Thank you all so much. The tide keeps changing. It's going to be another nail biter.

For those of you who haven't submitted you votes yet,

remember...

As of now, there are currently a lot of second and third place ties in about three or four categories. More votes means there's a better chance of breaking those ties up. There's still four more days to go and I hope to see more people participate. Most of the veteran members have cast their ballots, but there are still quite a few of you regulars I hope to see participate. As for you newbies to the forum, don't be shy, I want to hear from you guys too. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!!!

[Recipe and decal are in my custom thread!]

Zach, are you going to vote or are you remaining impartial?

Zach has never voted and I highly doubt (IMO) he ever will. Looks like it's the neutral zone for him. But what do I know?

The registered voter list has been updated. We are up to 19 now. Thank you for yesterday's flood of votes, but I still need more input. Several minimates have broken away from the pack and are skyrocketing up the numbers chart in certain categories while others have slowly crept by and taken slight leads over early contenders.

Welcome to addiction counseling and support group.

what does ghastly minimate mean? and does cyclops optic blast count as a part reuse

Ghastly means frightening or ugly. The category used to be called SCARIEST / UGLIEST MINIMATE, but I decided to simplify the name this year.

The optic blast acessory included with with wave 59 Cyclops is not the same piece as the one from the A vs XM SDCC set. They are similar, but two different sculpts.

Hard Goodbye = Feb. 4

Do you have any packaging pics or pics of the loose mates?

100% win right there. Heads and tails over the actual release. Now I see Sigourney's Ripley over a generic one. Well done YB.

Can you indulge me a bit with how you sculpted / modified that hairpiece?

Love it.

So what's the case breakdown going to be like?

3-3-3-3 or 4-4-2-2?

Wuh?!

Who the freak between IM and Apocalypse? Hulk?

Voting seems to have stalled really bad, so I am going to post this ballot sheet to help things along. All ya gotta do is copy and paste it into your PM and fill it in. Heck you can print it up and scribble down choices if you are not in front of your computer at the time you figure out your top picks. I can't stress enough how much your input really matters for this yearly tradition. I know there have been a lot of recent posts as of late about new upcoming waves and licenses for 2015, but we can not forget about all the amazing stuff that 2014 had given us. Filling out this ballot will be your way to honor the best of the best of last year. Your input is what will shape the show. Send in those votes (veteran forum members, I'm looking to you to pave the way) and I promise you a red carpet extravaganza / award show that will top last year's.
Thank you.

Happy Birthday mister.

I ordered this set off Amazon on Friday because my shop didn't have it and I just couldn't wait! Alien is one of my favorite movies and I'm VERY excited for this.

But, I have a question, have there been any problems with the feet like the single pack Xenomorph's have had?

I bought two sets and both Xenomorphs had their respective right and left feet.
