Jatta Pake Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Given that I've been out of the loop on Minimates for while, anyone care to catch me up on these? I've kinda figured they aren't out yet. Was the movie made? If so, where can I watch it? The link to the movie on the website doesn't work. I get a 404 error. Why is the http://www.agent88films.com/ website filled with broken image links? The links on this site for a company featured on agent88films doesn't work either. What's going on? http://studiofunhouse.com/ For those that saw the movie, was it any good? Assuming it was made in the first place. Anyone have a red Agent88 promo they can part with? I don't think I ever got my hands on one. Has DST had any comment? Didn't someone pay like a thousand dollars for a one-of-a-kind hand-made by Digger custom? Any pictures of that one? Sorry if these have been answered in this thread, I dug through all 42 pages and didn't find any answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The DST question is answered in this thread a few times. They are waiting on artwork from Digger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The DST question is answered in this thread a few times. They are waiting on artwork from Digger. Ok, thanks. I didn't see that. I thought the artwork was done way back in 2012. I could have sworn I saw pictures of artwork long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 We all did but approved/finalized work in a certain format is required to move forward and he has dropped the ball on all of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. I guess he's busy with other projects. IMDb says the movie was released on August 8th, 2013. And it's only 16 minutes long. Weird. I thought this was going to be a series of ad funded free web episodes. Am I remembering correctly that a character in the movie was going to be a Minimates collector?

Santos L Halper Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Here's my latest entry on the Agent 88 Kickstarter comment page in response to Justin's repeated question of "What is the cause of the lengthy delay of production/delivery of the Minimates incentives?" "My guess as to what the cause of the lengthy delay is that all the money has already been spent and they can't afford to have the incentives produced. If you have seen the pilot episode you can tell what high quality it is and why it must of cost in excess of one hundred thousand dollars to make(remember camera phones aren't cheap if you aren't eligible for an upgrade), easily on par of such wonderful films as Sharknado and Birdemic. I honestly can't understand why a major television network hasn't picked it up to become the hugely popular success it is destined to be. Obviously network execs can't comprehend the genius that is Digger T Mesch, so us mere mortals must pay the price of not getting the incentives we were promised for donating to this project." If that doesn't get Digger's attention, I don't know what will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinoyminimate Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Seems that the online distribution platform they chose for the pilot also closed down.http://gigaom.com/2013/11/22/chill-com-is-closing-down-december-15/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I heard from Digger, and he is in China right now getting everything straightened out with the factory. That was all the details he shared at this time. But things are moving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Coversation between Geoff Beckett and Digger Mesch at Toyfair: Digger: Man, these people are giving me a hard time about those toys I promised them as a Kickstarter reward. What should I do? Geoff: Just tell them you're in China finalizing things. That will buy you weeks, if not years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I can't believe it's me that's saying this but I think Luke's between a rock & a hard place when he conveys to us what he's heard from Digger .....I'm all in for giving Digger his just desserts but c'mon let's not shoot the messenger .

Santos L Halper Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Oh.......so this whole time the delay hasn't been a lack of communication between Digger and DST. It's been the Chinese factory's inability to properly make the 'mates according to Digger's designs. Weird that the factories are able to make all the 'mates designed by DST and Art Asylum without someone needing to go there to straighten everything out, but the Agent 88 'mates have had them stumped for more than a year now.

Maybe the factory is just blown away by the sheer awesomeness of Digger's designs. I mean, they are the greatest things ever to grace the minimate line, right? Right?

youbastards Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Luke, I view your updates as pure diplomacy. None of my snark is directed at you, as I hope you know. That said, I don't believe a word Digger says at this point, but at least he is replying to someone's inquiries while he ignores the official Kickstarter page.

buttheadsmate Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Nipping this in the bud (hopefully) .......I thought the way you guys (Yb,Matt & hellpop) thought ..........you posted, I didn't .

Mattallica Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Not at all Rob, it never hurts to be sure, as its far to easy for things written on the Internet to be misinterpreted. (especially when I write them it seems ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I am going to see if I can set up a meeting with Digger at C2E2 before the MMV celebration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santos L Halper Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) So did anyone who attended C2E2 have any words with Digger......I mean, meet kindly with him and ask about the progress of his super sweet and awesome project that us peasants had the pleasure of supporting?
