DSTZach Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Zach, are these final designs or early mock ups? Bryan looks like he has a Tesd shirt on. Please tell me it's true! They're approved prototypes, so I don't see them changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I really hate the show, but really love minimates....for the first time collecting minimates I am conflicted. I'm buying Big Bang Theory Minimates, so I'm not AS conflicted, but I too have a strong dislike for this awful show. And I usually love stuff Smith is involved in. Wait, so the dreadful Big Bang Theory, with it's corny forced lame humor, is good enough for you, but this show is awful? Different strokes for different folks. I like the guys on this show, how they give each other a hard time is fun for me. Not sure we need Minimates of them, but I would probably buy them anyway. I never said that. I was making a point that if I'm planning to buy the BBT Minimates as much as I hate that show, then I'll still buy these, because I like them about the same (which is not in the slightest). I hate both. Both are unfunny wastes of my time. But I love Minimates. Which was my point. Walt & Bryan seem like terrible people (they weren't that nice when I met them at a con once), and their picking on Ming is one of the many reasons I stopped watching after the first episode. Bullying isn't fun or funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I don't see it as bullying, he gets paid to work there and definitely could get a new job if he wanted. Their relationships are why I like the show personally. I guess it's all perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Harassment is harassment, it doesn't matter if it's coming from your "friends", and just because he's getting paid doesn't mean he deserves to be treated that way, or that "he could leave if he doesn't like it". That's victim blaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBMM1 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I don't know, I feel like a lot of that is just the fact that they're all friends. There doesn't ever seem to be malicious intent behind it. They're just a bunch of middle-aged geeks spouting off insults at one another in a comic shop. Plus it's a TV show. They take weeks of footage and put in the "funny" parts (i.e. The 10 times over a few month period that Bry or Walt pick on Ming). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It also seems incredible scripted, so I imagine it's not how they actually feel about each other. Pretty sure they rarely actually work with each other when not in front of the camera. I watched the first couple seasons and then it tapered off for me when it wasn't on after Talking Dead. Fun show but definitely not "good tv" by any means. I may pick these up, i like the guys enough. Leagues above Big Bang Theory, that's for sure.

Valo487 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If you listen to their podcast, you'll see this really is how they act with each other. For what it's worth, an executive at AMC told them they make fun of Ming too much, and Ming himself complained that he didn't want it to change. My friends and I act in a similar way, it's ball-breaking but it's good natured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that AMC exec was concerned about the perception of racism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's victim blaming. Wow. My closest friends are the people I like giving the hardest time to. They like to give me a hard time. I thought it was a part of friendship? Sure, they are rough on Ming, but I'm sure they would be the first guys to defend him. I think that's pretty obvious. But you don't see it that way, I guess. So you're just mad Walt and Bryan weren't nice to you (thus making them terrible people?). Hey that's cool, I don't know why you have a quandary about buying Minimates of stuff you hate. Do you really need to buy every Minimate ever made? I love Minimates but it's really easy for me to pass on stuff I have no interest in - especially stuff I hate, like the Big Bang Theory. They have so many different licenses, you don't gotta catch 'em all! (Hmm. Pokemon Minimates?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 While these aren't quite for me (I do occassionally watch the show, though), these do make perfect sense to go along with the rest of the Kevin Smith collection. Smith's 'mate does seem a bit vague since he's lost the weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch77 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hey hey hey, can we get back to sticking Minimates up people's asses? Agreed, wait, what?? Is that going to be a new warning label on the packaging: "not intended for ages 0-3" and "avoid placing in various orifices" Let's keep the topic on the toys instead of bickering with each other; this isn't a Kevin Smith movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 My Comic Book Men Minimates are gonna bicker like hell. I'm a little surprised that the designs didn't use their comic book alter egoes from the show's intro. Maybe they'll do some quick customs on the show with other Minimates. Either way, I'm in. And I'm assuming this is yet another non-opportunity for a Stan Lee Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Feel sorry for whatshisface having to wear an "I Sell Comics" t-shirt. I also feel sorry for him, considering I only know him as "whatshisface," and I like that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
