Mattallica Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Hmmm.. and if I get 4 Raphs.. then I can pretend they are the original turltes (all with red bandanas). Seriously though, I can see the blind bag helping minimates in general... but I really hope the price point is low or I will have a hard time hanging on to buy the whole line. sure, but like 10 Raphs that just sucks, Im thinking these are going to be $3.99-$4.99 each Quote
Ninja Mate Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) sure, but like 10 Raphs that just sucks, Im thinking these are going to be $3.99-$4.99 each Zach did say they would be more than Lego figures....so probably $4.99 What are the thoughts about the Minimates coming unassembled? Do we know if thats happening? Edited June 4, 2014 by Ninja Mate Quote
MisterPL Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 What are the thoughts about the Minimates coming unassembled? Do we know if thats happening? Not that I know of. I was just wondering what people's thoughts were about the possibility. I don't have a problem with it since it forces the play pattern on consumers but DST would probably have to come up with an instruction sheet for each character. Quote
stack32 Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Sounds like a good way to end up with missing parts. Quote
BCDX97 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I'm glad I don't think these look that great. If they weren't blind bagged, it would make it a tougher decision. Since they are blind bagged, easy pass for me. Quote
Additup Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I actually enjoy the design of these mates, and although I am not a fan I the blind bags, it will be nice to be able to impulse buy minimates at a Walmart. Quote
MisterPL Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Will Walmart, Target, or TRU offer full cases? Do they do that for other similar collectibles like trading cards, HeroClix, etc.? Quote
Mnemosis Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) If there's more than one shredder in a case, I will be in the market to pick up someone's extra shredder Edited June 8, 2014 by Mnemosis Quote
Onyx_6 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 At C2E2, Chuck said he believed that they would have tampo'd eyes (I don't recall if it was also tampo'd headbands) on the head block. Quote
MisterPL Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 That's my one gripe about the look of these 'mates; I'd prefer eyeholes in those masks. Or at least recessed eyes but that could lead to misregistered tampos. Either way, I think there should be eyes printed on the head and not just the mask. Quote

That would be cool to have, although I don't ever think I would take the headbands off. It would seem wierd and strange to me. It's like when a wrestler who is already half naked doesn't wear knee pads or tall boots, you realize "hey that guys not wearing any clothes" Quote
whywing Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 You need to get on these, DST. These are pretty darn cool! Quote
MisterPL Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I've never been interested in anything beyond their usual attire. This is no exception. I think my commitment to this line would have waned after the first series so making it blind bagged probably isn't really having much of an impact on me anyway. Glad others like the alternate looks but to me it's like Batman collectors begging for "Arctic Strike Dark Knight" and "Urban Camo Crusader" versions. Unless it's in the cartoons. Then I might be down with it. Quote
ApexPredator Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) They're in the episode "Mazes and Mutants" Edited June 11, 2014 by ApexPredator Quote
Additup Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I know he was supposed to be a knight, but I can't help but look at Leonardo's helmet and think Galactus. Quote
Glantern Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I can't help but look at Leonardo's helmet and think Galactus. I thought the exact same thing! Quote
Additup Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I can't help but look at Leonardo's helmet and think Galactus. I thought the exact same thing! I'm sure it was an intentional homage by the creators. Can't have a character named Kirby and not have awareness. Quote

Valo487 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 If that is legit, at least you can buy one case and be sure to get them all. Quote
