less than a year into the line they do what we'd been begging DST to do for years.

Yeah i've seen that Random Woman in a few titles, its the same person as in the timeline merging in Flashpoint #5, I sincerely hope they aren't pre planning a back door out of this, that said its made me actually pick stuff up for once which is the point I guess. To be fair to DC, the last time they did this is stuck reasonably well for a long time and i really enjoyed the "endings" they gave the old DCU titles prior to this although as mentioned Secret Six and Booster Gold deserved better.

I don't really have much love for Marvel nowadays as they bounce from event to event far too much and their publishing schedule is more borked than anyone elses has been for ages (Hello Young Avengers: Childrens Crusade). 52 and Sinestro Corps were probably the last things from either publisher I actually enjoyed.

So, whats everyone thinking of the relaunch thus far, JL #1 last week was ok, nothing stellar but a nice slow burn reintroduction, Im heading out in a moment to pick up this weeks new titles (Well Action, Batgirl, Swamp Thing and Animal Man at the very least) seen as we get them before America nowadays which is nice!

Its a hell of a gamble DC has taken here and Im hoping it pays off so Im actually buying a couple of titles now instead of just "magically getting them"

I just hope the relaunch sticks though, I don't want some kind of Infinite Crisis on Hypertime Flash Earths Hour to come along and undo everything!

On behalf of everyone in the UK, I apologise for "Lee Burns"

I work as a nuclear chemist making neon signs

You just made my year.

Will see what I can do, on my phone at the moment so its not that accurate at sorting colours. (not that anything is, I swear every monitor in the world is set differently.

For your consideration:

Points to absolute bottom left of the screen (Where it probably says MMMV), click the drop down box.

You know what would be a good contest? A Make Kang contest. At the end, we'll mail them all to Chuck.

Our contest schedule is kinda full... (hunt/covers/other secret things) but this idea tickles me...

Maybe he was dying blanks I didn't know, that's why I was asking?

And I totally disagree, if you don't ask questions, then how would you know anything? People said I shouldn't go to college, then they said it would be too difficult to pursue nuclear chemistry, Japanese and making neon sign's all at the same time with no previous experience in any of those subjects. I had no background in those areas and now I teach/work with nuclear chemistry in Japan for half the year and I still make neon sign's on the side for fun too.

Tisk Tisk too coming from the Staff, I would expect more from you people.

Theres asking questions and theres asking questions though, I don't give a shit if you are some kind of international man of nuclear chemistry, its the internet, I can say I'm Ming the Merciless if I want to, it doesnt make what I say any more or less credible.

As for the tisking, (as Jatta Pake explained) this is a fan site, surely teaching people how to counterfeit the product we're a fan site of would be a little dumb we try to keep a decent relationship with DST so that they come here and interact with us along with donating prizes for contests if we actively and publicly encourage you to conterfeit stuff then it reflects badly on us, if you want to go to the insane effort of paying 50 times what it costs to buy a minimate because you want to make them yourselves thats cool, what you do with your billions isn't anyone elses concern but as Ivan has explained its hardly a simple process, you may have more luck if you want to try this as a bit of a hobby by looking into the details of "Potato Plastic" or perhaps taking a look at http://www.shapeways.com/ and submitting your 3D renders to them.

everything needed to really mold and cast and make these guys. I saw a post on here where some guy was making clear purple and pink minimates that looked way sick. Do you need everything to be under vacuum too, stuff like that?

Thanks everyone for reading

Wasn't he just dying blanks?

Anyways, if you have to ask this question, you're probably best off not pursing the idea....

Doesnt this hit the news every so often and then just fizzle away?

Sold mind card, tube and boxed versions recently for about thirty dollars a set. they seem not to be worth all much. i might try selling my art asylum jack in the boxes soon to see if there is a market there.

What really grinds my gears over minimatedatabase.com is that despite been an anagram of "BAD SAINT ATE A MIME" I have not ONCE found any Saints on there, bad or otherwise and I find it severely lacking in Mimes.

If this is not fixed IMMEDIATELY I will simply stop paying for the service.

Aye, as a non US member myself I was always keen that everything is open to everyone, nothing more annoying than all these US only contests that litter the interwebs

Thinking about it, aside from a Minimate-Me app which is a shoe in some kind of simple collection tracking tool could work....

Stick a QR code on every pack, scanning the QR Code launches/installs the Minimateabase app, it asks the user to register (go go future marketing powers) and creates them an account and logs the pack they just bought as been part of their collection, they can then manually add the old packs they own and scan QR codes on future packs to automatically add their new aqquisitions to their database. The checklist as it were wouldn't be anywhere near MMDBs ofc just aim for like the older collection posters that were/are in 2 packs (no packaging variants/running changes etc ) and you could even throw in social features such as a global list of who has the most unique minimates et al.

You'll then have a nice database of your customers and whos buying what types (Only collecting Ghostbusters you need some more monsters how about these Universal Monsters packs!) and Im sure you could then use the GPS data to point them to nearby stockists by using the Comicbook locator service (unless you can be doubly awesome and point them to only places that actually order Minimates) with links to Facebook/Twitter for your news.

You could probably extend this further if you give people the ability to email themselves their MinimateMes to use as Avatars on forums and perhaps even offer a "live signature" based on their collections for use in forums etc.

As someone mentioned above PLEASE make it work on all platforms of note (Android/iOS) and offer a regular HTML version some at the very least people with less smart smartphones can still sort it out.

As for a simple game..... a Minimate style "Operation" Rip off could work or even a Callico Jack / Max styled tower defense game... Elite Heroes vs Fires!

FYI: http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.php?showtopic=9932&view=findpost&p=192738&hl=collector&fromsearch=1

In all honestly I struggle to see the point of a dedicated app, I considered writing one for here, I considered writing one to make MMDB slightly nicer on my droid but at the end of the day you're aiming at a subset of a subset of a subset, how many people would really use an app to ID random parts of Minimates like so many apps (and I do this carp for a living) the ideas great, but the reality is kind of pointless.

What could work is some simple "amusing" game like Fruit Ninja or Slice It, or even better a Minimate version of Androidify. Something thats fun and light hearted and might get new people to the brand, rather than aiming it at us zealots.

In fact, the more I think a Minimate version of Androidify would be pretty damned awesome.

powers?
