  1. Let those who worship evil's might... Nice Green Lanterns.
  2. Well that blows. I guess at least Best-Lock now knows there is some interest.
  3. Cool. Hopefully these will be at least close in scale. I look forward to hearing your thoughts once you receive the set.
  4. These are great lineups. I dig. I am really glad we are getting a new D'anna. The old one doesn't sit well with me, and this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Hot Dog in dress uniform is interesting. But why green? Hopefully that will be fixed. Overall, very nice.
  5. I collecct DCD and BSG with a few Marvel here and there. So that has an obvious impact on my list. When I look at my 'mates, these are the things that stand out positively: 1) Steel 2) Cyborg Superman 3) Classic Batman 4) Red Dress Six 5) Modern Cylon These are the things that stand out negatively: 1) D'anna Biers 2) Star Sapphire 3) Lack of DCD Martian Manhunter 4) Lack of DCD Alan Scott 5) Lack of DCD Beast Boy (C'mon DCD, at least finsh what you started! These are glaring holes) 'Mate I couldn't live without: DCD Superman. (Faster than a speeding nerf ball, more powerful than a model train, able to leap tall bookshelves in a single bound!)
  6. http://shop.lego.com/ByCategory/Department.aspx?d=304 The official lego store also sells individual pieces. A friend of mine has ordered from them several times. The only problem is that some pieces don't sell in the US.
  7. No. It's an Eisner Studios owned property licensed to DC, or something along those lines.
  8. Like your line-up, but judging by the 7 inch line it'll probably be Hotdog instead of Billy I'd also like a previews 2-pack with Racetrack in it. I guess a character that has been dead for a few seasons doesn't stand much of a chance against characters that are alive. But I still like Billy. The Kat/Cylon two pack was a great way to put out one cylon and one colonial without putting "that same old look" in the main line. I think this would be an ideal route for future pilots (Racetrack, Hotdog, Crashdown, etc). Judging by the Art Asylum blog entry, I think the final cylons will be coming sooner rather than later. Which to me suggests they are getting out the last of the 'important' characters to bring the main line to a close. I've got a funny feeling we will see one more wave and future releases will be mainly themed boxsets. (if it's not already at that point) Just a guess. It's a shame the dress uniform already uses the extra piece.
  9. Spoiler Alert Well, in a recent Art Asylum blog, DSTMatt hints that he is only lacking the still-secret 12th Cylon. (http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2008/09/looks-like-the-cats-out-of-the-bag/) So, I think Cavil, Doral, Simon, Tory, and Anders are all pretty likely. Maybe: Cavil/Simon Doral/Billy Tory/ Resistance Anders (Variant- Anders in tanktop flight suit) Assuming there will be only one more wave. Otherwise, I would spread these characters over two waves.
  10. http://action-figure.com/index.php?name=Ne...e&sid=23795 With a pic of the Spirit. He looks pretty cool.
  11. Frak yeah! These are great versions of these characters, and versions I for one was really hoping for. I hope Starbuck comes with her dinner utensils. And just when I thought that BSG minimates might be dead. I like boxsets and think it would be a great new route for the line.
  12. Coco does indeed deserve a 'mate. And the Crazy Doggz definitely do too. (I think the other guy is Todd Berry or something like that.) And Sally would be nice too. There are really so many good moments and characters in the show, it's tough to narrow it down. Bring 'em all on, I say. And add me to the list that would love some Firefly minimates.
  13. Flight of the Conchords would be rad! Four Pack: Bret with Guitar Jemaine with Bass Murray with checklist Dave with Paint Ball Gun or Mel with... something humorously creepy other accessories: boom-box, stationary bike, musical card, box of sawdust Exclusive 2-Pack: Bret with eye patch Jemaine as David Bowie
  14. Lost, Heroes, Arrested Development, X-Files, and Entourage. Weeds would be pretty smokin' too.
  15. Some Indy mates would be killer. From all four movies. And the new movie was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
  16. One thing that was really great about the line was how inclusive it was with a good mix of Modern Age, Silver Age, Golden Age, and just plain obscure. Unfortunately, that also means there is SO much left to be done just to finish what was started. Even though I'm not a big JSA fan, one of the biggest sore thumbs in the line is the lack of ALan Scott Green Lantern. Like the JLA, the JSA has their big three. Another thing I really want now is a classic Superman with a paler blue costume, slightly larger S shield, and cheesey smile. That would go nicely with the classic Bats. And you can't have classic Supes without classic Lex in that superfriends outfit. And Lois and Jimmy Olsen. The lack of Martian Manhunter is another BIG miss. That said, one more wave just isn't enough. How about one more year?
  17. Hmm... Wave 5 Tory/ Civilian Anders (Variant- undershirt flightsuit Anders) Civilian Lee/ Romo Lampkin Natalie Six/ Hybrid Wave 6 New Caprica Tyrol/ New Caprica Tigh (variant- eye-patch tigh in uniform) NC Policeman Jammer/ Suicide Bomber Duck Cavil and Ellen Tigh Wave 7 Leoben/ S4 Starbuck undershirt (Variant- NC Starbuck w/ fork and knife) Doral/ Simon Three- Temple of the Five/ (Either white cloaked final cylon or whoever the final cylon really is) And finally- Vipers, Raider, CIC Playset, Flightdeck playset, Basestar Bridge playset
  18. I loved this show, but thanks to you I now have that annoying themetune running round my head. I think the Variant should be BlueMan group Tobias though "[Tobias has painted himself blue] Tobias Funke: I blue myself. Michael Bluth: There has got to be a better way to say that. " T. That's going to be in Wave 2 And I like that song! Ha! Great idea. GOB so needs his scooter. And a dead pigeon. And Franklin. Really, I wouldn't mind if GOB were packed alone with crap loads of accesories so as to recreate some minimate magic. I'm sorry, illusions. Of course, we would also need Barry Zuckerkorn, Steve Holt, Bob Loblaw, Ann, Annyong, Kitty, Carl Weathers, Larry Mittleman, Rita Leeds, Maggie Lizer... my god, I need these. I need these now. First 3 series of my dream line: Series 1 Michael and GOB Buster and Lucille Austero Lindasy and Tobias/ Blue Man Tobias variant Exclusive: Tony Wonder with giant bread Series 2 Lucille and George Bluth/ Oscar variant Barry Zukerkorn and Bob Loblaw Maeby and Steve Holt Exclusive: Lupe with rack of fur coats Series 3 Ann and George Michael/ banana stand variant Carl Weathers and Mrs. Featherbottom Wayne Jarvis and Wife of GOB Exclusive: Mr Bananagrabber with scooter
  19. I wish that were the case, but he was definitely answering a question that he'd been briefed on how to answer. He was quite adamant that those two waves were officially the end of the line. It feels like you're trying to crush my spirit. To DCD: So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen I wish I had more DC Minimates I don't know about that. Many collectors didn't get all of the C3 line which was in a different art style anyway. The debate about this on these boards I think justifies DCD's decision to produce characters even if they were already produced by another company. And members here speak of the obscure characters contributing to the 'meh' factor. So the simple solution is to cater to both sets- which DCD did. For whatever reason something went wrong.
  20. I've just got to wonder if this is a booth guide essentially saying, "What you see is what you get. If you don't see it, you won't get it," or if the guide had real info provided by DCD. I hope DCD is scaling back to the original production scale and the guide was simply uninformed. And I am pretty surprused by the 'meh' responses too. I am especially surprised that so many people have found the character selection so obscure. I think the character selection has been great. But that's just me.
  21. see I was remembering that quote too....I guess I have to take the same stance here as I did with the Marvel rumors and wait it out and hope for the best...there is a pile of potential here and I really cant see them letting it go Jeff of the Miniacs Yeah, now that I've had a chance to read the article and check around for similar news reports, I think this might be a whole lot of speculation. The linked article is pretty vague as to minimates (no quotes, etc) and no other site is reporting this. It would be really silly for DCD to just drop this.
  22. 2.5 Darkseid/ Orion 2.5 Despero/ Martian Manhunter Animal Man/ Adam Strange Captain Cold/ Mr. Freeze
  23. That is terrible to hear. Hopefully DCD will change their minds and more waves will turn up. There's so much left to do.
  24. I'm not too worried the line will be dead any time soon, but it never hurts to show some love. So I posted over at the DC Boards. OT: This thread title makes me want some Ferris Bueller 'mates.
