arnim zola Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm thankful for minitmates because when i look at them I get to see wonderful art and a consistency across different brands that you usually dont get to see. When randall and dante can be chased by aliens and saved by a terminator, thats pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm thankful for minimates because you can carry the entirety of Spider-Man's rogues gallery in a pencil case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm thankful for Minimates, because they have the most obscure characters from any figure line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzorio Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm thankful for minimates because this year was too weak for me professionally until last month, having direct consequences in my wallet and drastically reducing my purchases of action figures this year. But thanks to Minimates I managed to keep a minimum of purchases that didn't interfere me financially, keeping my collection active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar17 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I am not entering the contest -- so please do not acknowledge my response as participating -- but I did want to post something. I am thankful for minimates because they (along with TBT!) brought me here, to all of you. I've said it for years, but it still holds true: this forum, this 'Verse, this MMMV is full of some of the kindest, most generous, most considerate human beings I've ever met (either online or IRL). If not for minimates, then I never would have found T, nor would he have ever directed me here after the ArtAsylum boards shut down. So, thank you, minimates; thank you, AA/DST; thank you, T; thank you to Zach & all the other wonderful people who have anything to do with minimates being created; and thank you, everyone here.

Mattallica Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Homestar and I are on the same wave length, when i saw the theme of this contest the first thing that popped into my head was yeah I love the Mates but this place and the people that inhabit it is what I'm Thankful for!

Nessex Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm thankful for minimates because i live in a small apartment, but can still have 200+ figures Also - homestar has hit the nail on the head. This community is amazing. I'm glad that my casual purchase lead to an obsession which in turn lead me here. I've met people on here that i can call friends. I've met total strangers on here who were willing to help me simply because i asked - even though they didn't know me from Adam. MMMV is something to be thankful for all year round.

jcastick Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not entering either. I'm thankful for minimates because they are collectible that is the perfect size and has many characters that I like. They have also given me the opportunity to meet and to get to know a lot of people, who enjoy a lot of the same hobbies that I do. You guys are great!

warburger Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'm thankful for minimates because they feature the most exhaustive number of characters of any toyline, and they bring out the creativity in all that collect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous Rex Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm thankful for minimates because they have allowed me to make most of the characters i'd want, in the same scale, plus the fun of quick customs and parts swapping. That, along with the endless amount of official characters that have been made (still longing for that Clubber Lang and Thunderlips, and sorely missing an Atom from DC) But all that aside, I don't really collect any other lines, and have dabbled in some gi joe modern era/ and kreo stuff, and a handful of 1/6th scaled stuff, and 99% of my lego purchases are for my son. I don't think i've ever felt more comfortable online than when i'm sitting in the MMMV. I've honest to goodness met some folks here, who i generally consider my friends now. There have been a few times i just gave up the hobby, and anyone outside of here knows my last two years have been very tough, but coming here and keeping in contact with you guys has kept me hanging around. So, I'm thankful for minimates for allowing me to meet some damn fine human beings, and I'm glad to be a part of this community. Thanks for having me, your pal Nerv.

Captain Paco Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I am thankful for Minimates because of the sophistication of the line. You can mix and match the parts to make customs of characters that AA/DST have not made and thus have a massive lot of figures that help complete your needs. My love of Star Trek had me start collecting Minimates when the 3" line was released. Then the 2" line came out and I was more into the smaller size. I am thankful for Minimates because I have the ability to display my custom Minimates in my office and enjoy them where I do spend most of my day. Now with Minimates getting more into other franchises I am interested in (Classic Godzilla, Ghostbusters and now Big Bang Theory), I am looking forward to adding to my collection and having my display grow more for not too much money compared to 7" or larger action figures. I typically don't collect any other type of action figure now other than the Lego Minifigures but Minimates are my number one collectible.

sinnsyk Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I'm thankful for minimates because they allow me to have something to bond over with my son and my daughter. I've missed a large portion of their childhood being in the military and minimates brings us together.

squonk Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Not entering, but... I'm thankful for Minimates because of their small size which means they're more affordable and don't require much space to collect a lot; huge range of customization possibilities; vast array of characters from dozens of disparate universes; and because they've given me a cool new collecting hobby this year.

pk13 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm thankful for Minimates because they led me here. I've met some of the best people through MMMV that I've ever encountered. That's not only among collector circles but the world at large. And then when you consider just how great the actual toys are, it's just icing on the cake.

CBMM1 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm thankful for Minimates because they have all of my favorite characters from many different licenses. No other line of toys encompasses such a variety of characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I'm thankful for the Mass Effect minimates. My favourite video game franchise and fictional universe, coupled with the best toyline ever. Edited November 30, 2014 by Kostisfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Wiseau Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Kind of late, but I figure I might as well.I'm thankful for Minimates because of the community that it has created here. A community so friendly and welcoming that I felt like I belonged as soon as I made my first few posts. That I could wait in line for the Minimate panel at NYCC this year, and strike up conversations with people also waiting about new announcements, custom 'mates, and our individual hunts out on the convention floor. That we have people who have made some really great resources for us to use, like the forums here, the Database, the Factory, and the Toy Store.It's the people, man.
