All I can say is Wow!

Very nice indeed! Did you consider giving the pile of skulls he stands upon the minimate treatment? That would be wickedly cool.

If you are as tired of seeing threads with titles like "Possible return of DC minimates" as I am, bump this thread when they wake from the dead yet again.

Kraven the Hunter = lion tamer

I was thinking Kraven's African Safari show with Beast, Sabretooth, Cheetah, Gorilla Grod, Rhino, and Mr. Fantastic in a giraffe costume. Oh yeah, and Muffit!

Later,

An army of various cylon models marches out forming a ring facing out toward the audience. They lie down. The lights dim. The music starts and we enjoy the cylon eye laser light show!

Mysterio = magic act

Human Torch = fire eater

Dr. Octopus = craziest juggling act you ever saw

Man with no name sets = Wild West Show

Visorless Cyclops looking straight up = Fireworks finale!

Nice set, but the endoskeleton is a bit out of place. I guess I'll have plenty of terminators to battle my cylons..

Hmm. 2 races of robots, created by man, bent on destroying mankind completely. Wouldn't they be more likely to team up on a mission to kill all humans? What would they fight about?

CYLON: We are going to kill all of the humans.

TERMINATOR: No we're going to kill all of the humans.

CYLON: But we were here first.

TERMINATOR: You were but now we were here 5 minutes before that. We have time travel technology. You can never be here first.

CYLON: Douche!

TERMINATOR: You are soo dead!

Spiderman, Wolverine, Iron Man and Hulk.

The above posts are correct. It's the same mate as the one 2 places to the right in your picture but without the armour.

It's the one in the Through the Ages boxset. He came sans bottle though. Col. Tigh from BSG comes with a bottle and flask. You could use one of those.

I kind of like Spiderman 2099 how he is. It's like Bugs Bunny hit him with a giant sledge-hammer. LOL

I've been meaning to do some kind of comic pic with a Twilight Zone theme ever since I bought Shazam. His head looks exactly like Rod Serling to me.

Curse you for asking how many. I really don't want to know but I did a quick inventory from memory and came up with 648. But it's really probably about 800-900. When I think of how much money that is ...

Anyhow, my favorite line would be Star Trek. Not because they are the best quality minmates but because I'm a huge Trek fan. From a critical perspective I would have to say DC. 2.5" for larger characters, cool accessories, no chase figure (good and bad), and good quality mates. Too bad they're gone.

My current favorite is probably any of my Razor cylons though it changes from time to time. A couple of Razor and classic cylons and the classic trek bridge crew have a permanent spot on my desk at work and I rotate through a few others. Currently, I have DC Superman, Straitjacket Hannibal, and Spiderman with his web grabbing the Rhino in the rotating section. There's also an ED-209 who scales well with the mates. I used to have more but I'm trying to keep it semi-professional.

I have a variant Ultimate Sabertooth with two left hands.

Just spin it around backwards. No one will ever notice.

I'm in Canada and my shop has TGTBATU listed for this week as well as Iron Man so I would guess we'll all be seeing them.

Best:

1. The Thing (any version with the thick sculpted brow)

2. Razor Cylon (any)

3. McCoy (just an awesome likeness)

4. Captain America (any version with a cutout mask on him)

5. Rhino

Worst:

1. The Thing (any version with that weird headpiece)

2. Green Goblin (not sinister enough and no glider)

3. Wave 17 & 18 Spiderman (any, the exclusives made these look like crap)

4. Spiderman 2099

5. Mirror Spock

I was going to put Classic Col. Tigh on my worst list until I remembered that he's a quick custom I made. LOL

When I read the rules, the first thing that came to mind was Ghostbusters.

Here's why I will never be offered a job by AA.

1. Lexx minimates (the most powerful minimates in the two universes)

2. Stanley Tweedle, Kai, Xev, Lyekka, Prince

3. 790 head. Kai's grappler/weapon (could be like a Spidey webline)

1. Casablanca minimates.

2. Rick, Ilsa, Strasser, Louie, either Ugarte or Ferrari (black and white color scheme?)

3. Letters of Transit, some guns

Well I'm loving playing with my Borg's, all they need is a queen

I'm free!

Oh God, Not "Are You Being Served?" It's the "Three's Company" of the BBC.

No, "Man about the house" is the "Three's Company" of the BBC. You Americans can't even write an original bad sitcom. You have to license them from the Brits (Yes, the spinoffs as well)! LOL Not that the CBC is putting out timeless masterpieces or anything.

Since wave 4 had TNG, and wave 5 had DS9, I'm thinking wave 6 will have Voy. Here's my guess:

VOY: Janeway & Borg Queen (Variant: Janeway with hair bun)

ST6: Sulu & Chang

TOS: Space Seed Kirk & Khan

While we're at it, here's my guess for wave 7:

ENT: Archer & Shran

ST2: Spock & Saavik (Variant: Valeris)

TNG: Geordi & Data

We already have Space Seed Khan in Wave 3. I think we're pretty much done with TOS unless it's more aliens or Kirk / Spock variants. (Syndicate Kirk anyone?)

Variant ideas:

Data / Lore or Sherlock Holmes Data

Geordi / First Contact Geordi (no visor)

Starfleet 7 of 9 / Borg 7 of 9

Bearded Riker / Clean shave Riker

Tasha Yar / Tasha's Romulan daughter

Starfleet Worf / Klingon Worf

It would be super-cool if they did de-assimilating 7 of 9 sort of like Iron Man. Take off the borg gear and add a hairpiece and you have Starfleet 7 of 9! This would be a super-cool idea for a Borg army builder pack. De-assimilate them to various trek aliens underneath.

I'm not opening my Chapel until I get a second one. For those asking, she has blue underpants and seems a pretty good likeness to me. I can't wait to get another one so I can open one.

Ok, here's the beginning of my Borg army. You can also see my QC Riker (Civil War Tony Stark head and hair), my QC Locutus (at the front of the borg), and partially assimilated Starfleet officer (back). Riker looks pretty good but too pissed off. I'll have to pose him in a standoff against the Borg with his phaser drawn. That should look ok. When my Iron man through the ages arrives, I'll look for a happier Tony face. I hit four shops today that didn't get Wave 4 so no more Borg today. I think I can still find a few more. I did find 2 dead sixes, a freefall cylon, and a variant Angel and Apocolypse pack so it wasn't all bad.

I'll try to get some pics up later if no one beats me to it.

Can anyone suggest a good head and hair swap to make a quick custom Riker?

Ok, I finally caught it again. They're too big to be minimates.

There is a commercial running on Canadian TV right now for I think it's MTV2. I have no idea if this is the real deal or some hokey re-branded Canadian version of MTV. However, the commercial flashes a bunch of clips and one of them has a guy holding a mini-sized figure and saying something about Jack Bauer vs. Iron Man. I'm almost positive they must be minimates but since I try to ignore commercials I keep missing the part I'm trying to see. Has anyone else seen this?

ok people so how many borg will be we be picking up??

enough borg to take the parts and assimilate anyone we damn well please. Borg Kirk!

They'll need to get the drone with the "Lipo" arm attachment before they can assimilate Kirk. LOL However, I foresee many quick custom Locutuses will be around by Wednesday night.

Maybe we'll get lucky and get the entire Hannibal series with all 3 movies ( Hannibal and Red Dragon).... wait isnt there a 4th??? (Hannible rising)

5 if you include "Manhunter," which is probably my personal favorite of the entire series. . .

Manhunter and Red Dragon are the same story (not that they couldn't make mate of both though).
