elhonez Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 I'd write a blank check for more of these, sight unseen. Anyway... What's the packaging going to look like? Quote

Based on the listing details, I believe the packaging will be like the Power Ranger Series 1 packaging, which I think is amazing. Quote
DSTZach Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 More like the FF and MMPR NYCC packaging. Wide, shaped like a book. Quote
luke314pi Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 Ah yes, I forgot it was a 6-pack for a minute there. Quote
mav-man Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 Anyone know when the bad guy set and dungeon master will go up for preorder? Quote
DSTZach Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Series 2 goes up for pre-order in late February! Quote

DSTZach Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I believe wings are removable from chest piece/helmet. They peg into the back. I do not believe it is a permanent connection. Quote

elhonez Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Siiiick. @Zach, are there design sheets like this for every MiniMate ever created? Does DST keep them all, or are some lost to the sands of time? Also, total tangent, but how in the actual hell did the "Desperately Seeking Susan" two-pack come about? Quote

Does DST keep them all, or are some lost to the sands of time? Yes, there are sheets like this for every Minimate. I'd bet there are some old ones that we'd have trouble locating, they may be in a CD-ROM archive somewhere, but I'm sure current designer Barry Bradfield has everything he's ever done. Pre-Barry, Uriel Caton did a lot of work on the line, and I have some of those hand-penciled sheets in my archives. Pre-Uriel you might get to Nelson Asencio, and I don't know how he worked, but I definitely pulled some of his artwork off of discs for use in the 10th anniversary Minimates book. 4 minutes ago, elhonez said: Also, total tangent, but how in the actual hell did the "Desperately Seeking Susan" two-pack come about? DSS was part of a library deal, meaning we signed a license to draw on multiple movies from a studio's library. A list of what was available was probably circulated to the staff, and movies were chosen that had potential. Sure, it's not a toyetic action film, but being able to produce a Madonna figure is a pretty great opportunity, sales-wise and press-wise. An action figure would have required her likeness rights, unless the studio had them already (unlikely), but Minimates are non-likeness figures. I'm pretty sure Rocky, Silence of the Lambs, Fistful of Dollars and Platoon were part of library deals, and so were some of the great "lost sets" like Godfather, Beverly Hills Cop and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

elhonez Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Thanks for the context! To be clear, I harbor only incredulity, not disdain for that set -- if it were up to me there'd probably be Murder She Wrote, Max Headroom, Glengarry Glen Ross, and/or 60 Minutes MiniMates. 'Mate em all, I say. Also I had no idea Ferris Bueller was ever on the docket. That is a tragic loss to be sure. But back to our regularly scheduled programming: D&D rules, I love how Warduke turned out. Any plans past these first two sets, or will it be wait-and-see? Quote
DSTZach Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 No current plans, but we'll see! New pics of the Villains set: Dungeons & Dragons Minimates Celebrate the Villains of the Animated Series - IGN Quote
elhonez Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 That packaging! So cool. Ya'll are really upping your box-and-card game. Quote
Chooch Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 I don't buy things for the packaging, but this and the TMNT choices have increased the appeal lately. Quote
