MiniFiend UK Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Damn my wallet is going to sulk but my heart is happy. is pathfinder a comic? Quote
Heroic Slacker Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Alien minimates are going to be so incredible, so hope we get a power loader. Quote
funkguerilla Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Holy crap I'm excited. Moreso for the Aliens stuff than the Lost in Space, but you know, whatever. That's gonna make an epic crossover. Quote
AdyCarter Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Oh my word. Aliens Minimates. ALIENS MINIMATES? I want, nay need them all. ALL of them! Perfect timing, especially with the new game hitting next week Quote
youbastards Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 OH MY GLOB!!! Aliens Minimates!!! So are these based on the Matt LaBlanc Lost In Space??? Quote
dj87 Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 My word, Aliens minimates? With all due respect to all in the land, that is one thing I'm going to struggle to believe until I see them. It is certainly 2nd job time for me. Quote
youbastards Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Zach, I'm going to make a special request here, please include a molded alien egg with each pack. Open and closed eggs, with facehuggers and chestbursters should be pack-ins with each pack. Quote

I did some research and found out that it's a medieval rpg like dungeons and dragons and a movie. Quote
DSTZach Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 There is a Pathfinder comic, and books, but the movie is I believe unrelated. We made plush goblins for the RPG, but plan to do more. Lost in Space! Is old news! Just sayin... Astronaut's? Calling it... duh duh duh...., LOST IN SPACE! To be fair, someone also guessed Aliens. Once people guess things correctly, I kinda lose interest in the guessing game Quote
Kostisfire Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Yeah.Aliens was the first thing to be posted after you announced the astronauts line.Also,will we get some pathfinder minimates too? Orcs,knights,monsters,knigh zombies,etc..... Quote
Mirymate Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Well... frak. There were only two or three non-Marvel liscences that could make my cash strapped butt buy no matter what. Aliens is one of them. Guess I need to revisit that list of organs I can sell on the black market. Everybody only has one kidney these days, right? Quote
Turtle Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 When Aliens was suggested, it was too good to be true. I cannot wait. Quote
MisterPL Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 What...!! No Peter Pan? Technically it's not license agreement and if it's a retailer exclusive, it won't be shown at Toy Fair. But I still believe. As someone who grew up watching Lost in Space right alongside Star Trek, I'm really looking forward to seeing the LiS Minimates. I'm picturing a couple 4-packs and maybe the Jupiter 2. And as stoked as I am about getting Minimates and vehicles based on James Cameron's Aliens, I'm still wishing for a couple four-packs from the original crew of the Nostromo and a Narcissus. Bring on the pics! To everyone attending Toy Fair: BE SAFE! Enjoy the blizzard but make it home healthy and in one piece! Quote
youbastards Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Wait, did that email just confirm Invincible Minimates? Quote

Once people guess things correctly, I kinda lose interest in the guessing game You're just like my wife. The guessing game's only fun until it gets a little too close to the truth.... Wait, did that email just confirm Invincible Minimates? Sure does seem to, doesn't it? Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 The way I read the email is only Lost In Space and Aliens are the confirmed minimate stuff. Everything else falls under DST's other figure types. I would be quite happy to be wrong. Quote
JeffBohn Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Wait, did that email just confirm Invincible Minimates? Nope. Says they have the Invincible license, and products for their licenses includes Minimates. But, still hoping! Edited February 8, 2013 by JeffBohn Quote
