Zombie Shakespeare Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Any explanation as to why the cute zombie is no longer cute? Was there some kind of trademark issue or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Maybe someone realized it wasn't that cute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperChefMate Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) The shipping update on AA blog says November 28th. What happened with the "cute" zombie, was there ever a reason given? Not that its a big deal, just curious. Edited November 19, 2012 by SuperChefMate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm happy the "cute" zombie no longer has "cute" printed on his shirt. I think that might have hurt his sales a bit, plus it makes him much more customizable. Now, if only the wave 2 TRU exclusives are easier to find!

MisterPL Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Went to another TRU and came up empty-handed again. This place has even more 'mates in stock than my local one. Not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing because plenty of them were old releases. I mean, if they've got 'mates warming pegs, they're probably not going to bother ordering more. Still, they didn't even have McFarlane's WD product, unlike my store. I'll keep looking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thanks to whoever suggested making a Chris Hardwick Minimate and sending it to him. Wish he'd mentioned it on the show, but a retweet works for me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Spidey's Wrist Blade from Fear Itself inspired me to start making a Merle Dixon to go with his brother Daryl. I cut up a Cyclon Hand for his Stump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookieFodder Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Merle Face is from Venom I think.Transformation,the one that is two sided in case you want Crazy Merle face. Torso is from Nathan Spencer MVC3 but you could use BSG soldiers or different shirt options. Hairy Arms probably from a Wolverine. The Hair is from 24 maybe. Lower Torso and Boots from Wolverine Thru the Ages Plaid Shirt Wolvie. Fear Itself Spidey for Blade and BSG Cyclon for Stub. Daryl BSG Anders Face, Final Bout Rocky Hair Hawkeye from Old Man Logan Vest,Old Man Logan Shirt AOA Beast Pants Any ideas for a minimate scale crossbow? I think I have a Robin Hood Prince of Thieves one somewhere but that won't look quite right. I made a Carl also, using Punisher WarZone Thug Jacket,MultipleMan Shirt, Rick's Hat,Slipper shoes, Young Face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) The Buffy crossbows from the old DST line aren't bad, if a little medieval. Small, too. I called him a Sailor Zombie (and Kirkman approved it) because he's wearing a mariniere or Breton shirt, the striped shirt worn by many nationalities of sailors. Paired with a neckerchief, it's very much a sailor outfit, most famously a French one -- see the French soccer team's official shirt for an example. I'm sure many a mime has worn a black-striped shirt like this at some point, since most mimes are of the French school, but this guy has no make-up on. Not a mime. http://iseastripes.blogspot.com/2010/04/haihun-shan-sea-stripes-are-big-in.html http://beretandboina.blogspot.com/2011/02/proverbial-frenchman-wears-striped.html Edited November 20, 2012 by Zach Oat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 My Argument would be that SOME sailors wear that shirt BUT almost all MIME do! T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 My Argument would be that SOME sailors wear that shirt BUT almost all MIME do! T. Find me a photo of a mime with a red neckerchief on and a blue stripes on their shirt and I will concede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 So, the MMMV Red Neckerchief Mime Brigade is set for C2E2, then? You will find, I think, that a dozen or more grown men dressed as mimes, not speaking but staring intently, willing their Minimate desires into your mind, are far more terrifying than a rowdy mob of fans barking out their requests like dogs. Far, far more terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
