minijeff Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Excelsior! Celebrating Marvel Minimates 10th Anniversary! Coming to the Humboldt and District Museum and Gallery in November and December of 2013, this showcase will take visitors through a visual tour of the 10 years of Marvel Minimates. Including the Minimates themselves as well as artwork, advertising examples, some design artwork and even some prototypes this display will be a great tour through the history of these great toys! Also included in this display will be a variety of Marvel comic books which were released with blank white covers to encourage fans to get them sketched at conventions or to add their own artwork to them. These comics will feature Minimate artwork from a variety of artists both professional and amateur. If you would like to be an artist in this show and havent already contacted me please do so!

minijeff Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have been getting some good responses to this little project and a couple really cool artists have stepped up to this which will add some punch to the roster of artwork. I am just waiting to hear back from a couple of people and the first batch of comics will go out so the artists can get started on them!

Donny B Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Have I mentioned that I'm pretty excited to see what the Minimate community is going to do with this project? Yeah, I'm pretty excited.Some great artists combining efforts to contribute Minimate artwork that will be showcased in a museum gallery? Simply awesome.

minijeff Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Count me as super excited too man...especially since when I first thought up the idea of getting minimate artwork on these comic covers I had no idea if I was going to be able to find anyone interested in doing it for me. This will be my second trip with minimates to the museum for a showcase and I think it will be even bigger than the first. I know I will have more wall space but will have to see what kind of display case options I will be able to have too.I just want to toss out a huge thanks to everyone who has already stepped into the game plan with this, I can't wait to see the works as they are returned! and yea all this artwork on the gallery walls is going to rock!Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 That is really amazing. Cannot wait for more! Now, how many unique characters are there? For a definition of unique, lets go with: if someone traveled back in time and removed that person at birth/conception, then any costume/persona/clone, etc would not count. So, Iron Patriot = Noman Osborn = Green Goblin, Ultimate Jean Grey = Jean Grey = Phoenix, etc. Okay, maybe clones count (X-23, Ultimate SpiderWoman, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Why would Ultimate Jean Grey cease to exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It's a Phoenix thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaipo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 That is really amazing. Cannot wait for more! Now, how many unique characters are there?

So, Iron Patriot = Noman Osborn = Green Goblin, Ultimate Jean Grey = Jean Grey = Phoenix, etc. Okay, maybe clones count (X-23, Ultimate SpiderWoman, etc) Easy way to start off, divide 795 in half. That eliminates all the spideys, wolvies, and iron men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
