MisterPL Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thought it was time to start a thread dedicated to these Minimates now that they're coming to SDCC. Speaking of which, here they are: SDCC 2013 LOST IN SPACE BLACK-&-WHITE PREVIEWS EXCLUSIVE MINIMATES 2-PACK Straight out of the early years of the classic ‘60s TV series come none other than the cunning Doctor Zachary Smith and The Robot, recreated in delightful detail as 2” H Minimates! I'm very excited they're getting produced. Not real crazy about the black & white styling but I'll be adding them to my collection if only to help secure the future of the line. Besides, if these were color, what would DST offer later? Bottom line: I'm one happy, nostalgic LiS collector who can't wait to get his hands on these!

Mystery Man Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 These look great! I hope we get color versions too, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 I hope they perform beyond expectations, but only so long as I get a set. Honestly, I don't have ridiculously high hopes. I'd be happy to get color versions of the main cast and anything else would be icing on the cake. I just hope the black & white figures don't turn consumers off and skew sales. I'm sure DST's expectations have been adjusted accordingly. Has any other line been launched with a black & white set? (Other than View Askew?)

cdubya Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hopefully these precede a full-on line and not just a one-shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 SOLD! Prefer it in color, but I'm still in for at least 2 sets! I really hope we get more than just this, since my faith has been shaken in DST after they abandoned the Munsters after just one vehicle.

monkeycrumb Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Well, we never did get the rest of the Munsters family. Hope that doesn't happen here too with LiS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Well... you know. Utah. I'm still hopeful we'll get a couple 4-packs from The Munsters. I'll be jumping onto the Lost in Space train ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad Ghostal Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) even though it's a prototype - that Robot looks ridiculously awesome - you can really get a sense of the minimate base in there, but he's all-Robot! And yes, I would love to get the whole cast in color - some of those velour jumpsuit color combinations were awesomely ridiculous! And sign me up for a Chariot as well - maybe a TRU exclusive? Sure, why not? A guy can hope! Edited July 10, 2013 by Tad Ghostal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeycrumb Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hot Sex! I hope the Robot's hands feature the new double-ring pegs to keep them from falling out! PLEASE tell me we'll get these in color too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I know there was probably never a question of it, but I'm super glad Robot B-9's head bubble is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yup. It's not clear enough to make out the details, but there is a little antenna thing inside, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad Ghostal Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 This made my week!! http://www.artasylum.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Lost-In-Space-Robot-B-9-Black-White1.jpg That is some nice detailing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Okay. I'm back. Kinda fainted after the "THREE heads" things. Still a little loopy. Love the chest tampo on Robot. That's a great touch. The detail on this is extraordinary. Robot fans are gonna love this and (hopefully) demand a color version. Maybe in a 4-pack with Will. Crap. I may not have ordered enough sets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Holy Crap! Three heads?!? Can we see a picture?? Pretty please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 All three face designs (if these are indeed the final faces) are on the design sheet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Awesome! Thanks! I was hoping one would have a more "creepy" facial expression. But yeah, like Zach said, the 3rd one is the best! I really, really hope we get the core cast in color! I'm kinda bummed this is in b&w, but I understand you can't make the robot a SDCC exclusive! Like MisterPL said, I don't think I've ordered enough sets! I'm not even an LiS fan, but I have a soft spot for all the older Sci-Fi & Horror stuff, I just love the designs and they translate so damn well into minimates! Now, if only we can get some Forbidden Planet minimates of Robbie the Robot and Leslie Nielsen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
