youbastards Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'm not saying they are 'taking advantage', but if they truly wanted to 'pay tribute', make a single "Firefighter Spidey" promo and hand it out at the show or better yet, make the proceeds of this pack go to The Leary Firefighters Foundation.

buttheadsmate Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Whilst that '911' is pretty poignant to you US guys it's still pretty significant to all us other peoples. It was a Bad Day. As you get older (yawn) you get to realise...stuff. My youngest step-daughter (didn't know that did you?) gets married this September 11th. & I hope she remembers a beautiful day rather than this terrible anniversary. I can think of many f*cking awful 'days' in my life but what the hell good does it do you? Nobody will forget that awful shit day least of all me but you can't..you shouldn't.... let anniversaries f*ck every year up for you. A bunch of Minimates..... that's all they are.

boyd Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Nobody will forget that awful shit day least of all me but you can't..you shouldn't.... let anniversaries f*ck every year up for you. Amen. And I hope your step-daughter has a lovely wedding. As for the exclusives - I dunno. Fire Fighter Spidey doesn't do anything for me, and I'm not really a zombie fan. But I love how they're recycling parts for the Zombies, though, and I'm very curious to know any future zombie plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja Mate Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) I like the spidey and zombies. anyone else notice the bloody minimate hand print on the surgeon zombie? funny. Edited August 25, 2011 by Ninja Mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Honestly Minimates are the only reason I go to NYCC these days. Diggin' the Spidey and Zombie mates. Ill get the zombie set just for the chainsaw. Hopefully I can score a Stormbreaker set while I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 $9.00 The hell? 0-o I never got the whole 9/11 thing. Not why it happened, but rather people's reactions afterwards. Remember that episode of Hoarders where that woman cried every time she saw an American flag because it reminded her of 9/11? Stuff like that bugs me. Patriotism is fine. Uber Patriotism is unhealthy. Fanaticism is dangerous. I see too many cross the line of 'loving their country' into 'fanaticism', especially concerning 9/11. I'm with YB though, just come straight out and say this is a tribute. I'd like to have seen these be either free, or a complete charity, and make up the cost on the Zombie set. It'd help justify the $9 these jack nuts are charging us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ah, but what about the mystery AFX NYCC project Zach was in frear of bodily injury about revealing during the chat? They said it was a four pack... of course they did not confirm these either. Oh... easy pass personally. Look nice, but just not interested. This isn't more exploitative than all the TV specials selling top dollar ad space. It's called capitolism, it's not always pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 3,000 seems like a bunch, so I'm optimistic these will be available to retailers. Ok - never mind about my kidneys. Ill just wait for retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Firefighter set is a big pass. Just more duplicate stuff. Oh, but that zombie set. Yeeeeeeeeeeah, that's gonna be a keeper. I sure hope they have some left over, as I'd like to pick up a couple. Especially with the statement saying there'll be 2 heads. AND the whole bit about them being legion soon. Hope that means we'll get more zombies soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) I love these two sentences in the zombie 2-pack description: They are only the beginning, the first of many. Soon, they will be legion. I'm surprised it took DST this long to get into generic zombies. With the part swapping feature of minimates, there could be hundreds of different zombie combinations to be had. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this new line of undead minimates.

Can't wait to see what the future holds for this new line of undead minimates. I would probably get zombie minimates (although I never picked up any of the Marvel Zombies). Funny thing is I've never really liked zombies... but pop culture has been bombarded by zombies so much in the last decade that I've been braiiinswashed into thinking they're pretty neat. Hmmm... what other generic nonlicensed minimates would I want (other than zombies and pirates). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The zombie minimates are awesome. but if we'll have zombie minimates we need a certain minimate to go with them. the man, the myth, the legend, the boomstick!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlushyFrog Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hmmm... what other generic nonlicensed minimates would I want (other than zombies and pirates). Star Wars. Haha Star Wars would certainly rejuvenate my interest in Minimates. I guess cheap civilians would be nice... I've been using 24 and BSG minimates for such purposes. Like the blind packaged LEGO minifigs -- although they'd have to be cheaper than the single pack army builders for me to buy them. If the MAX line could go towards scientists/doctors and astronauts that would be lovely. But yeah not too much beyond ninjas (already mentioned) really scream out at me. Although I would love WUXIA type figures (think the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 'mates but generic Asian flying kung fu figures). My guess is they wouldn't be too popular but I would totally buy them and I think they could visually look very cool. I would be ecstatic if they got the Fables license but since DC Minimates are out of the question, I can't imagine Fables minimates ever being made. So... fairy tales in the public domain could be a good consolation. Okay, I think I got sidetracked far enough. I'd buy the NYCC packs if they were easy to obtain (retail price + shipping).

Nope. Still don't like them. I have never cared for zombie horror. Doubt that's going to change. But hey if that's your cup of tea knock yourselves out. No, I will not surrender my Man-Card over not liking zombies. If you think I should, you're welcome to try and take it from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
