monkeycrumb Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Are they supposed to be in black and white? I'm fan of these guys getting Mates but not if they release only black and white versions. The first ViewAskew movie, Clerks, was in B&W. I assume if they are going wide with the license, the first B&W set is to both commemorate the first movie, and to make a special set that won't piss off fans if they miss out. Personally, I want this set in color more than anything, and would be upset if I missed out on that. So think of this as a "preview" set. I'm sure there will be more. As a fan of the movies, I don't need every character to be made, but I'll be buying the ones that come out. I only care about Clerks 1 & 2 (and maybe the upcoming 3?) and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. I'd also take some Dogma, but can live without them. But I can totally like without Chasing Amy or Mallrats (or Jersey Girls), mainly because most of them are in J&SBSB, and are also boring designs. My Wishlist: Color version of J&SB from J&SBSB with PVC orangutan Marshall Willenholly with Cockknocker Bluntman & Chronic Dante & Randall (Clerks 2 Mooby outfits, bonus points for "Porch Monkey for Life" on Randal's back!) Dante & Randall (B&W from Clerks to compliment the SDCC J&SB B&W set) Alan Rickman & George Carlin from Dogma (yes, I just want them for customs, but would buy extras for that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Jersey Girl isn't in the View Askewniverse so I don't think we have to worry about those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Alanis Morissette ftw! The return of Rock Minimates This is awesome news. And the cool thing is, Jay and Silent Bob would fit in any minimate display, holding up the wall of your diorama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 this is awesome news! View Askew Mates have been on my wishlist forever. really hope we can get a Buddy Christ. hope we can get a Carrie Fisher mate out of this as well just pack the Nun in w/ Cock-Knocker and call it a day! so many actors have been in these movies it's crazy. Jason Lee Jeremy London Shannen Doherty Claire Forlani Stan Lee Ben Affleck Joey Lauren Adams Alan Rickman Lunda Fiorentino Matt Damon George Carlin Salma Hayak Janeane Garofalo Alanis Morrisette Will Ferrell James Van Der Beek Jason Biggs Mark Hamill Carrie Fisher Eliza Dushku Shannon Elizabeth Ali Larter Judd Nelson Chris Rock Seann William Scott Jamie Kennedy Wes Craven Diedrich Bader Jon Stewert Tracy Morgan Rosario Dawson Wanda Sykes Earthquake (Nathaniel Martin Stroman) and thats just the "major" actors, imagine all the customs we could crank out if even half of these are produced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Personal hopes here would be Buddy Christ and Stan Lee. Any other purchases would be made solely on the grounds of custom fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'll have to take a ride to Jay & Silent Bobs after SDCC to pick up a set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Dogma is one of my top favorite movies ever, so I'd absolutely love Minimates. I'd had plans to do some customs for a Custom Con, but I may not have to now... My question is, which Willam do we want? Clerks/J&SBSB played by Smith editor Scott Mosier? Or the better known Mallrats Ethan Suplee? I'd prefer the latter, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 GEEKGASM!!!! COLOUR! and other movies. Mallrats!...STAN LEE!. I know there is prob no chance in hell of that figure being made but he was in the movie so we can blindly obsess as usual. I'm just happy to get colour figures and maybe Bluntman and Cronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hat tip to Diamond Select for bringing Kevin Smith on board for a line of Minimates. These look awesome. Now we have two huge names in independent comics doing Minimates lines (Kirkman being the other). Hope this leads to Mignola Minimates in the future.

DSTZach Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I forgot Dogma! ...Kevin Smith is a big name in independent comics? Green Arrow, Daredevil, Black Cat... What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 He's done some stuff for Dynamite: Green Hornet Bionic Man Not to forget the old Oni View Askew comics, not sure of his involvement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 By "big name" I'd say he has far more mainstream associations with comics than many other comic book artists, even though (and probably because of) his work being primarily in Movie, TV, and Internet (Smodcast etc). I think he potentially brings the Minimates brand to a another subset of comic collector - someone who buys comics and watches movies, but doesn't buy toys. In my brain this puts him in the Independent Comic realm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Tigran Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 so Dogma is included then? Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 A big name in Independent film, sure, but Marvel, DC and two licensed comics make him pretty mainstream as far as comics go. He's certainly one of the most famous comic fans and, although not necessarily for his comics work, one of the most famous creators. I'm excited for the new audience this line will reach, but I wouldn't wait for this line to lead to Hellboy Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I forgot Dogma! As in, "Yes, Dogma!"? Golgothan $#!T Demon / Buddy Christ two-pack for the most controversial set of toys in history win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I can't tell you how excited I am about it. Kevin Smith is my favorite actor of all time. I have all his movies signed by the man himself. Clerks & Mallrats are 2 of my favorite movies of all time. Heck, the quote in my profile is from Mallrats. Can you tell I'm excited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedoraNinja Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 My guess is that we'll either get one wave per movie or one four figure box set per movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) only problem with these is that is not what Jay and Bob looked like in Clerks. and for WookieFodder Edited June 18, 2013 by Mattallica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
