TBT! Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I had the green an white metal one I think it was made by Dinky. I also had at the time (or prob when when reruns where shown) a crush on the female shape shifting character with the funky eyebrows. Yep, mine was Green and white too, and I'm comfortable enough in my manhood to admit that if my 5yr old self had a crush on anyone during the show it was Alan because he was the pilot who flew the Eagle which was my real love from the show If someone had given me the HUGE (Compared to the one I had) plastic one with the little figures that MrPL showed I probably would have exploded with overexcitement on the spot!

undeadpool Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wait...there's no way these astronauts could be from a certain...library..is there? Technically they were archeologists but I mean....it could translate....but would this be considered a new license, since dst hs tried once before?

Very briefly I pondered the same thing... It's unlikely though... I think that License is tied us elsewhere esp as it has it's own minifigure line. T.

Kostisfire Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 I would like some more clues about these astronauts.Zach said it would make us flip so it has to be something popular and be talked about here quite often.Also, we should have seen pics of the mystery 2 box sets and 1 vehicle licence by now.

Kostisfire Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Star comand.Disney.Astronauts (technically space rangers).Could work.We need more clues.Or wait for a month and see the licence.Though it would be helpfull if Zach specified what he meant by astronauts.The classic real look,or sci fi astronauts in video games,movies,etc.Techinically the doctor is an astronaut (it comes from the greek astro=star and nautis=sailor).

MiniFiend UK Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It could be Star Trek coming back as they are basicly a type of astronauts and they did proto a shuttle craft already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav-man Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Chuck did mention Buck Rodgers in the Q & A, and said no 8 inch retro mego figures for the line, so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 In all honesty while Star Trek and buck Rogers are nice and I would collect them they wouldn't make me flip. They are just guys in one colored jumpsuits. I'm waiting for something interesting with many accessories,character variety,etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsore Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Buck Rogers could make a good line, i'd buy that forr a dol.. err a I mean 7 dollars and change :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Check out this forum thread from MegoMuseum.com, it discusses DST's purchase of ZICA Toys 8" body tooling, and the Buck Rogers license, all of which went down in March 2012. Interestingly, the owner of ZICA Toys posts information directly, some disputing what DSTChuck has posted in the Q&A section. Here is another thread. There is a little bit of DST bashing going on in those threads, just an FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well...Is any announcement going to be made on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) It was supposed to be revealed last week. Zach said that packaged or painted samples were in and that he would try to reveal it last week. Also,it will be on sale before toy fair so I guess we should see these mates this week.

Jatta Pake Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Wow, this thread is long. Just skimmed it to catch up since my guess post of Peter Pan awhile back. I've been a long time advocate of Disney Minimates since they bought Marvel years ago because the property would inject so much health into the line from Disney fanatics. Of course I would rather have Star Wars, etc, but Disney Minimates just make sense. If these do turn out to be Peter Pan, my only question is "what took so long?" Minimates only remaining toy competitor in its field of small block figures is Kubricks. Disney Minimates would de-throne Kubricks from the top of the LEGO-clone minifigure mountain (ok, ok, Star Wars would be the remaining license needed imho). It would be hard to consider Kubrick's as the leading figure maker in this category with Disney Minimates though. I'm thinking the "space/astronauts" has a good shot at being "Aliens". Another no-brainer license that DST probably waited to pick up (perhaps at a discount?). I think 2013 is going to be a fun year for Minimates collectors. Marvel Wave 50, more Walking Dead, completing Thundercats, I can't wait!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Let's argue next about getting Simpsons and Futurama minimates....or should I start another thread? Nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BannersID Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I can only imagine an Alien's line would drive we army builders out of our heads I can not picture a number of Xenomorphs that would be "enough" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmeaux Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I honestly don't know when they developed the little arms and legs, I just know that we use them in that mysterious new license I've been teasing everyone with, and they come out in a week or two. Fans. Flamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Shouldn't we have gotten an announcement by now? What are we even speculating about again? 1) the mystery licence that will go on sale in one or two weeks 2) the astronaut line that will appear in toy fair.
