buttheadsmate Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) After long negotiations with the seller & my psychiatrist I managed to score some Minimate prototypes . I haven't bought anything like this for years & I'm quite pleased with them but I'm struggling to figure out what some of the characters are !

buttheadsmate Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Thank you Zach ....especially for Corpse Dad , that one was driving me nuts . The fingers are as far as I can see genuine 'mate items but .....who knows ?! Some are pretty obvious & my favourite is Hulkbuster of course !

Shanester Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 It was you... I wanted that Hulkbuster but couldn't pull the trigger. I am glad one of us got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I knew they were MM fingers, I just had no idea why they were on Corpse Dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm grateful that you recognised it with or without the fingers ! Might it have been possible that (as they are prototypes) the Corpse Dad might have been initially designed with long fingers ? In the movie 'he' had longish fingers ? Who knows ? 2 hours ago, Shanester said: It was you... I wanted that Hulkbuster but couldn't pull the trigger. I am glad one of us got them. The Hulkbuster initially drew me in , I then discounted the whole idea of buying them .....then got sucked back in a week or two later .

DSTZach Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 It's possible the original design had long fingers, and then the part was not available or something. I believe that has happened before, parts need to be substituted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Observations FYI : The 'Agrir' proto has 2 'spikey' boots rather than the eventual production 'mate which has just one, which now seems strange ? One of the 2 Man Thing's protos has a headpiece that has a separately moulded 'nose/brow ' part . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotter Comics Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 These are super cool. I know you shared for identification help, but I'm glad to have seen them! Also, scrolling through the pictures I thought Hulkbuster was Juggernaut. LOL. I had to double back after reading the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 Thank you for all the help on these It's perhaps a sad indictment of me that I needed to ask ! There was a time when I would have known nigh on every Minimate instantly, not so much these days . I also know full well that there is a fine line between showing stuff to fellow-fans without showing off Some weeks later I have now finished cataloguing these gems & my OCD has now led me up another avenue ....as it often does ! So now I'm hunting the finished articles & placing them alongside their prototypes which is strangely satisfying. As an aside , I am not quite as up to speed as I once was on market prices so I was staggered .....yep, staggered......at Man-Thing Minimate prices on eBay ?! Now that Minimate wasn't perfect * but that hasn't stopped it from becoming very desirable . Who knew? * I would love to see another version of Man-Thing , more 'vegetation , tendrils' detail & more emphasis on the eyes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Plus one! I'd like to see one with a standard sized head too. I'm not exactly sure why that bothered me, but it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
