Cyc Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I still think Marvel is the best killer app Minimates will ever see, heck it's the reason why 2" is the default scale. Like Kirby mentioned, they aren't a lock because a lot of MMORPGs are only interested in the actual game and little else. Unless each Minimate came with exclusive in-game items/abilities, most wouldn't touch it. Sales would see a spike, it'd probably outpace SF and Speed Racer mates, but it wouldn't be a Marvel or DC...

Fujis Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Unless each Minimate came with exclusive in-game items/abilities... That's a great idea, Cyc! People sell items on eBay why not exclusive weapons/items/skills etc. packaged with a figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Well the ebay items are illegal, however go check out the WoW CCG, rare cards ahve a scratch panel that unlocks ingame items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well the ebay items are illegal, however go check out the WoW CCG, rare cards ahve a scratch panel that unlocks ingame items. And that's why each WOW CCG shipment sells out within less than a week at the local comic stores, while the Warcraft figures sit unloved and unwanted even with heavy discounts.

SixWayShot Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'd still love to see City of Heroes / Villains 'mates ... I'd buy tons of those. A Freedon Phalanx boxset? Hellz Yez. We could get; Statesman Manticore Sister Psyche Back Alley Brawler War Witch Synapse and we could go for an Arachnos set, too: Lord Recluse Captain Mako Ghost Widow Black Scorpion Sirocco Or maybe a thug box set? Hellions Skulls The Lost (Maybe in 2.5") Vahzilok Clockwork Hell, how about a big set with a crapload of generic 'Hero/Villain" pieces? You could make your own character!
