pumpkinpatch Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'll attempt to be serious about Female Minimates ,so no mass debating ........... Two of my all time Top 20 Minimates would include Valkyrie & Wonder Woman & it is amazing how well both stand up to scrutiny some 6 years after each was produced . I love minimates & I love sex..... I'm probably unusual in not requiring the internet for the latter . Sexiness is perhaps lacking in many female minimates,this is probably healthy for the target audience which sadly isn't most of us here . The average male will 'check out' a female in the manner males do .....I shan't elaborate too much because Dino's monitor has just been cleaned.......& unfortunately too many female Minimates appear to have big arses & fat legs when they're wearing a formal skirt or dress . I give you Mary Jane who looks like this in the comics...... 250px-Mary_Jane_Watson.jpg .......I swear I'd have married her in the day ,she's just gorgeous . Her Minimate appears to have eaten most of the pies fig0494blg.jpg That is an extreme example but the hip-heaviness that is inherent in the Minimate design just doesn't help at times. So what shall I say about female breasts on Minimates ? There are some beauties but they are almost universally painted & to my mind the ones that succeed the best are where the design of the costume accentuates the breasts. Most superheroines' costumes accentuate the breasts but this is a 'no go' with many civilians & that's perhaps why they often don't appeal . That is perhaps the most simplistic & sexist thing I have ever written but I believe it to be true. Really not trying to validate an argument on the 'sexiness' of 2-inch blocks of plastic from a person who claims to be having actual sex...not the fake internet kind...but if we were to get these top heavy, big breasted female 'mates with no hips and skinny legs (I keep laughing at that mental image), then it's only fair that we get some male 'mates with bulging, molded cod pieces and bubble butts too :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 And Galactus is a fairly recognizable dude. He's a lot more recognizable when he's taller than two inches high. Sorry. Still pining for a big-ass Galactus bank ala the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Bygones. There is the Galactus Maximate. That's taller than two inches. It's also ridiculously impossible to find, not to mention expensive if you can manage to track one down. Same with the Sentinel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Adult Men who just think girls are gross, lol With that, I still love female minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block figures just don't compliment a woman's curves. This mary jane might be a better inspiration for the minimate. ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh2382 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 ....The wait from one wave of mates to the next is a curiously odd purgatory. Look what it does to us. I was under the impression that these mates were coming out next week. Has this been pushed back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that these mates were coming out next week. Has this been pushed back? I've seen nothing to indicate that the LCS series has been delayed. Luke's still has it set for an April 24th release. I imagine the TRU series could hit any time now. There's certainly plenty of other IM3 product on the shelves.

groundhog7s Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I just now noticed that the TRU wave popped up on their site today. It appears to be the normal 'sample case' situation, but for some reason it appears at the bottom of the page if you sort by 'Recently Added' (like I do) and that's how I missed them. At least it's nice to know they'll be everywhere soon. http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=minimates%20iron%20man%203&origkw=minimates+iron+man+3&f=Taxonomy/TRUS/2254197&sr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks for the heads up, can someone tell me exactly which sets are the TRU exclusives so I can keep an eye out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Awww there sold out?! Haha why put up a sample case, TRU you big tease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) So we can get the item number (818663) to ask at our local TRU stores. Maybe reserve rain check a case. Edited April 20, 2013 by Onyx_6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
