Thundarr Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hiya, Newbie here. I am temporarily located in Utah but originally from Washington State. I started collecting Minimates in 2008. As you can guess by my screen name, I'm a fan of the old 80s show Thundarr the Barbarian. So how did I get into Minimates? Well, back in the day I bought Toynami's Minimate-esque I-Men. I started building custom displays for my Thundarr I-Men with LEGOs, but I needed more creatures/characters to inhabit their futuristic world. That is when I discovered Minimates. Since then, I've been buying certain MM figures to customize and turn them into characters from the show (like Gemini the two-faced wizard) and add to my display. When the Platoon and Sergio Leone trilogy figures came out, I was really hooked. I never thought I'd ever see a toy of the Man With No Name in my life! It looks like I discovered and bought those at just the right time too (about $10 per set on eBay) because now they are crazy expensive! Then along came the Real Ghostbusters lineup - awesome, full of bright colors. I haven't found them all yet, but the ones I have are hanging out at my LEGO firehouse display as I type. My next challenge will be to build a scaled ECTO-1 for them to cruise in. I think these toys are really fun to mix-n-match and customize, and I also enjoy supplementing their environments with LEGOs. Someday I'll get around to posting pictures of my creations. See y'all around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
